My daughter and I had an amazing stay. The place is simply lovely from the outside in. Spacious, clean, quiet. Loved the porch after a long hike all day and slept wonderful in the cozy bed. Two days wasn't long enough for us. Walking distance to everything. Enjoy this excellent VRBO!

Lovely home in a great location.

My family and I had a great weekend at this home. Smooth check in process, WC Elle t location, etc. We were able to walk everywhere in town (parks, restaurants, ice cream, etc) even with the little kids which made everything easy and relaxing. House is exactly as advertised. Everything you need and very little you don’t, perfect for a family getaway. Would highly recommend.

Excellent location

Stayed for 2 nights. Excellent location, just blocks from town. Easily walked if you're up for a slight up-hill return home! Very clean. The beds were comfy. The shower was hot. They had little extras on hand if you forgot things. I would recommend and would stay again. The only thing is that it is located on a main road and there is road noise if that is something that bothers you. We were not there during the day enough for it to be a problem.

Great location for walking distance in town

We very much enjoyed our stay, 5-10 minute walk from plenty of restaurants and a couple breweries. Also very close and convenient to Watkins glen and a number of wineries. Also the space was so clean, and had everything we could need. Would absolutely recommend!

Just Perfect!

We wanted a place close to the restaurants and shops in town, and this was the perfect spot. We were minutes away from all that Watkins Glen has to offer, but it was still quiet and peaceful. The property is nicely equipped with everything you might need for a relaxing visit to this beautiful part of NY.

Very comfortable and relaxing stay! Great location close to local sights, shopping and restaurants. Extensive accommodations - the review said you need to bring nothing but yourselves and whatever food you want - we supply the rest. They’re weren’t kidding - everything we needed was right there!

Girls weekend

This property exceeded my expectations. Much more spacious in person with no detail overlooked. Truly felt welcoming and at home. So close to shops and restaurants, but quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a fun girls weekend in a new area. Already want to come back with the family and explore even more.

Getaway

This was a quaint property in the Finger Lakes region. It was clean, there was coffee, towels, toiletries and everything one would need for a long weekend getaway in an area with beautiful scenery and close to nice museums The Rockwell and Corning Museum of Glass. I felt the temperature should have been adjusted to a comfortable level for check-in, but it did heat up quickly. Me and "guest" had a great time :)
