This is one of the nicest properties I’ve rented. The host was great; she provided a lot of info about the area and even left a chilled bottle of local wine to welcome us! The home is indeed charming, very clean, comfortable and well-organized (I loved the little chalkboard labels telling us where everything is). The view of the lake from the house is beautiful and there are 3 outdoor spaces for relaxing, all of which flow into each other, with lake view. There is no lake access from the house, but this was clearly stated in the property description. The beds are comfortable, with four pillows on each, of varying lofts. Bathrooms are well appointed and in very good condition. Personal care products were supplied. The road at the front of the house did have a lot of big trucks running both day and night. This wasn’t an issue for us, but might be a concern for someone traveling with kids or pets. I would not describe the town of Watkins Glen to be a place where one could spend an entire day, but it does have some very good restaurants, and there are many wineries and farm stores within a short drive. Overall, it was a great experience!

I come back to this house every year with a group of friends. It is the perfect location for us to explore wineries, hike trails, and visit Watkins Glen. We love the openess of the house and exceptional outdoor living space and often spend afternoons outside enjoying the lake views. Julie is a fabulous host who has added a lot of small details to the property that make it welcoming. We plan to keep coming back!

What a perfect location to stay in Watkins Glen! The cottage was exceptionally clean. The beds were comfortable. The views were exceptional with seating areas outside to soak it in. We dined each evening on the patio to soak in the weather with views. It is very close to town center with restaurants and shopping and easy access to the Watkin Glens waterfalls. We played golf at Soaring Eage and Mark Twain golf courses. We stopped and enjoyed a few of the local wineries. We visited the local town festival and viewed fireworks from the festival at the Tiki Bar down the street. We filled each day with adventure but the topping of each day was sitting out enjoying the views off the back porch! Highly recommend:)

Very warm, inviting home with beautiful lake views. Well stocked with kitchen, bath and bedroom items. Terrific coffee station! Walkable to town. We enjoyed hiking in Watkins State Park, wineries, lunch in the harbor, dinner on the lake and restaurants in town. Our host was invaluable in providing local information and was very helpful and available.

Our stay was excellent. Felt right at home immediately. The beds were very comfortable. We only needed to make our breakfast and coffee for the day, otherwise we were out and enjoying the area and for us the Nascar race. But the kitchen met our needs very well.Sitting outside on the deck looking at the Lake and watching the Moon rise was beautiful. Also sitting around the fire, making our s'mores, laughing and joking.

This is a beautiful, charming house with breathtaking views of Lake Seneca. Julie is very organized, clean, and made settling in a breeze for my group. She even provided lots of information about local wineries and other things to do. We really enjoyed sitting outside on the patio while taking in the views. The house is very close to downtown, and we were able to walk there for dinner. I would definitely recommend staying here!

This home is absolutely lovely! The location is great -- beautiful view of Seneca Lake, lots of outdoor space with a deck, hammock, and fire pit. The home is situated in a quiet neighborhood, and Julie the owner, keeps the property meticulous. Home is stocked with everything you might expect and even things you wouldn't expect. Julie also went above and beyond to provide us with helpful hints about attractions, wineries, restaurants and more. We would definitely rent this property again. Julie, you have a gem of a property and made it feel like home for us. Thank you!

Absolutely perfect home on the lake 3

Absolutely amazing stay! This lakehouse was the *perfect* spot for our girls’ July 4th weekend getaway. The views of Lake Seneca were truly breathtaking — whether we were enjoying morning coffee or winding down at night, the outdoor seating made it feel like a private retreat. The location couldn't be better: just minutes from downtown Watkins Glen but still peaceful and secluded enough to feel like an escape.The house itself was incredibly clean, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with anything you could possibly need. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to find, which made settling in so smooth. Julie was a phenomenal host: super communicative, kind, and full of fantastic local recommendations for wineries, hikes, and restaurants. You can really tell how much care and effort she puts into making sure guests have a flawless experience.Couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our trip. Highly, highly recommend — we’re already talking about when we can come back!
