Great for a short stay where you’re not making a lot of meals. Not a lot of counter or shelf storage for prepping meals and temporary storing supplies. Very clean and great beds.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Jul 2026
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We appreciate hearing about every guest's experience. We understand that kitchen space is an important consideration for some travelers. Our listing includes multiple photos of the kitchen and dining areas so guests can accurately assess the layout before booking. While the kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals, we strive to represent its size and layout as accurately as possible through our photos. We are disappointed to receive a 4-star review based solely on the kitchen prep area, particularly since the space is clearly and accurately represented in our listing. Star ratings are very important to homeowners and have a meaningful impact on our business. We kindly encourage future travelers to carefully review all listing photos and descriptions before booking to ensure the property meets their expectations. Thank you again for staying with us, and we wish you all the best in your future travels.

Great place to get away with some dear friends. Housed 6 adults comfortably. It’s not often that you find a place with 3 queen beds so that was a nice plus. The home was very clean and well equipped. We brought a portable grill and folding table with us; this allowed us to enjoy eating in the great outdoors. The yard is very nice and the house is insulted well, blocking any outside noise from the road. I think we could come back every year for the next 10 and never complete touring all of the breweries and wineries. We did a lot of waterfall chasing, the home is close to everything. It was a great place and we would visit again.

Super location! Awesome cottage! We had 4 adults during a 4 day/3 night stay in August. This place is cozy, as described…and worked very well for us as we ate breakfast in and wined and dined at the countless establishments within 6 miles of our cottage. after a morning hike each day. The location could not be better to access all of Watkins Glen and all the east side Seneca Lake wineries and breweries. Karen was excellent and accommodating.

Great stay and great host!

We had a wonderful stay at the house. We made some last minute changes to our trip and Karen was more than accommodating and very good at communicating. Super close to great wineries and a very nice Farm stand (Thyme stands still). Beds are very comfortable! Would definitely recommend!

Great Stay

Wonderful stay. House was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Great set up for a group with multiple bedrooms. Karen was kind enough to send us a list of local attractions beforehand. Close to the main road, but very quiet during the day and at night. Will stay again!!

Clean house, excellent location!

Family of six adults (3 couples) in town for wine tasting and relaxation. Karen, property manager, very responsive and helpful. We found the property to be ideally located to many of the wineries and creameries that we wanted to visit. Most everything we did was no more than a 20 minute drive. The only negative side- and we knew this going in- is that for six adults, quarters were a little tight. Nevertheless, would stay again, maybe just not 6 of us!
