Painted Rock Vacation Rental - Walking To Watkins Glen Attractions

Property is fresh, new and well appointed. Perfectly located, on the waterfront, and within walking distance to downtown Watkins Glen. Perfect place for a long weekend with family.

The house was just perfect for my family of four. Very spacious and super clean. Beds were so comfortable. Loved having a washer and dryer! The decor was perfect and the terrace overlooking the lake was a great place to enjoy some local beer we picked up. Beautiful views of Seneca Lake! The seating area by the lake with the fire pit and torches was so peaceful in the evening. Easy walk to restaurants and to Watkins Glen State Park. Ann was a wonderful host and we are already thinking about our return trip next summer.

Despite having to deal with a cancelled event and a boil water advisory, Ann made our stay as easy as it could be. The patio was a really nice place to hang out and everything was easy to walk to. The only improvement would be more silverware and cooking utensils, but that was easily worked around.

Beautiful, well-kept, clean property with balcony overlooking Seneca Lake. It is literally right at the beginning of the town. There are many restaurants within walking distance - Watkins Glen is a 15 minutes walk. We used the boat slip, and spent hours each day on the lake - perfect for tubing, skiing, fishing and swimming. They have an el fresco dining area down by the lake - complete with tiki lanterns, a BBQ, and propane fire pit (no marshmallow roasting). Ann and her husband live close by and are often found watering flowers or puttering to keep the property spotless - always accessible, never intrusive. We cannot say how much our family enjoyed our stay here - our boys cannot wait to return, and we could not recommend it more highly.

Stayed here for a girls trip and loved everything about the place. The units are only 2 years old, so they are very clean and comfortable. The beds were great, the furniture was comfortable and the bathrooms were large. We were 4 women in a 3 bedroom unit with 3 1/2 baths and were never in each other's way. The views from the upper level (kitchen, dining area, living room and 1/2 bath) were so relaxing. There is a small balcony with chairs and a small table, perfect for morning coffee to watch the sun rise. The bedrooms are on the lower 2 levels, so there is no noise from the streets. There was construction going on on the road in front of the building, so you did hear noise on that level.

Kitchen was sparse, Keurig coffee maker, teapot, toaster and plenty of dishes, glasses and flatware. No coated frying pan for morning eggs and no smaller bowls/ containers for fruit, salad, or refrigerating leftovers. We did have breakfast in and one dinner.

Soap, dish detergent, laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent, as well as, all linens are provided.

Be advised that this is a 3 level unit, and while you can park one car on the top level and one car on the lower level, there are 35 steps from 1st floor to 3rd floor. We enjoyed the exercise, but we did have someone recovering from knee surgery with us, so it was a little challenging for her.

Great location, and walking distance to almost all restaurants and activities in Watkins Glen.

One of our favorite things was the patio lakeside-tables and umbrellas, lounge chairs and small fire pit and tiki torches for relaxing lakeside day or night. Gas grill was also available in this spot.

Owners were gracious and had some nice recommendations.

Overall, we would definitely recommend staying at this location.
