Very spacious house that provided us with plenty of room to share time together as well as have privacy. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom! The kitchen was well stocked and provided enough utensils, pots and pans to prepare a large meal. Less than 10 minutes to Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. The house was clean and well furnished. Communication with the property manager was easy with responses usually within 30 minutes.

From the moment you enter, the Cook Mansion is amazing! Equipped with anything you could possibly need! The owner was so easy to get in touch with. There were twelve of us and we all had such a great time! I would definitely go back. Next time in the spring or fall.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cook mansion. Quiet street, just steps away from the falls. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was large enough to spread out. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of extra blankets. We definitely recommend this house.

Well set up for large family group, well appointed kitchen, the hosts were very easy to deal with, quick response to needs. We loved our stay here for our family reunion, it's difficult to find a space each year that can accommodate our large family so well. As a bonus- we enjoyed the waterfall and the close proximity to our niece who hosted the 4th party.

A true piece of Montour Fall’s history. This historic house is really neat and well kept up for being over 150 yrs old. It was a perfect stay for our large family. An AC unit in each room was a plus. Great location for adventures in the Finger Lakes. Really close to Watkins Glen and surrounding attractions. The host was great and very responsive to questions, before, during, and after our stay.

perfect winter weekend

We were looking for a comfortable and convenient place to help my mom celebrate her 89th birthday. We found it here! Several common spaces for conversation, puzzles and meals, many lovely bedrooms with very comfy beds and the kitchen was massive, well fitted out, and perfect for communal meal preparation. Our host was very accommodating about arrivals and the location was perfect for poking around Watkins Glen.
