If you are attending a car club or track day event, this is the perfect location! The house is on CR 16, the same road the main gate (Gate 2) of the track is on, literally 2 minutes down the road.

This is such a nice place to stay! Very clean and comfortable home with everything you need. It’s in a great location too. Just a short drive down to the town and right near the racetrack. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!
This is a great place to stay if you are going to the track!!! About 3 minutes from the front gate to the front door. The home was very clean with nice quality towels and sheets. Beautiful views from the rear deck. My racing team looks forward to our stay next race!! Thank you so much!!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was super clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It felt like a home away from home. Great location and a perfect spot to relax—would definitely come back!
Great place, very clean and close to everything. Would be perfect for a race. Close to Watkins and also closer enough to Corning. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and plenty of kitchen accessories. Nice quiet area. We would stay here again.
This property was perfect for our getaway. Minutes from Watkins Glen , wineries, and Seneca Lake. The owners made everything so comfortable, and homey with lot of amenities.
Four adult friends for two nights to explore the area around the lakes. Convenient location and very quiet. Great to have two full baths and 4 comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen, and nice dinning and living room area to relax.
We had an amazing time and the property was perfect. Clean, plenty of room for our family, and convenient to all things Watkins Glen. Will be renting again in the future

Glad to hear you enjoyed the property. Thank you for being great guests and booking 2 stays with us !
I started with family and friends (party of 5), for a visit to the Finger Lakes. Location was great, with chain stores, such as Walmart, only a few minutes away. The moment we walked in, we immediately felt at home. The property was clean, cozy and inviting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Everything was perfect for our little weekend getaway. We love Watkins Glen - all of the scenery, restaurants, wineries etc are all great. The house is close to everything, especially the racetrack. We would love to stay again in the future!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Unfortunately, we were only there overnight to go to our son’s Firefighter graduation, but we would definitely like to stay there again to be able to enjoy Walkins Glenn. It is very close to everything you would want to do. The racetrack is literally one minute away. The house was very clean and has all amenities you would need. The owners were pleasant to work with and responded very quickly. We definitely will stay there again if we get out that way!
Ideal location for our family members traveling from east and west. Excellent place with all amenities needed. Well kept home and just the right size for our family of 5. Had a great time at Glass Museum and driving around very scenic areas. Highly recommend to others.
