This is a nice cottage near the end of a quiet road with a waterfall at the end of the road and a creek behind the house. There was a nice deck, grill and fire pit, but the weather and other activities we had planned did not allow us the time to use them. There are 2 bedrooms at opposite sides of the cottage with beautiful quilts on each bed. Nice touch with a bowl of candy on the dining table. We would definitely stay there again, and recommend it to others.

Extended stay at Al’s Cabin

Location was < 2 miles south of downtown Watkins Glen so very convenient to everything. Maybe 12 minutes to WGI. House was older, but everything worked. Proud owner who took care of any issues and decorated for the season. Also a bit of racing motif with checkered curtains and pics of past races so if you’re a race fan, its cool. Upon arrival music playing and a dish of candy awaited. Very quiet location with popular scenic falls two lots away. Nice backyard with stream running through and fire pit with plenty of wood and starting fluid. Many other properties supply 8-10 pieces of wood and then you need to buy more. We had multiple fires and there was still plenty of wood remaining. Probably not an issue for weekend guests, but for those staying a while there is no washer or dryer or dishwasher. Laundromat is only about 1/2 mile away though. Microbrew less than 1/2 mile and two more on main street. One bathroom as advertised, but only one door. The door from the kitchen has only a curtain. For a couple or maybe family with a child or two ok, but not for sharing. Only one ac in the living room so expect the back bedroom could be warm on the hot summer nights. Probably not many of those and there is a floor fan. Nice dining room and pretty much fully equipped kitchen. We cooked and ate many meals here & found it comfortable. Working vacation so dining room also doubled as work area. Internet was fine. No issues with zoom calls or connectivity during the stay.

Great location, clean and perfectly situated

We had a lovely time staying here with me, my husband, my daughter and our pup. The property is beautiful— backs up to a creek and there are two trails nearly where you can walk to waterfalls. So close to wineries and Watkins Glenn, and the owners are super responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay

Loved our time at this cottage. Comfortable beds, very clean and tons of amenities. We were able to explore Lake Seneca and Keuka easily from here. Quiet neighborhood too! We will definitely return!
