This house was fantastic! It was a great location and had everything we needed. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had prior to arrival. We will definitely book this home again for our next trip to Watkins Glen.
This was an amazing place to stay for our group of 4 couples! Location was perfect and close to hiking, wineries and the convenience of town. Very easy to come and go with keypad! Hosts thought of everything including spices, soaps and toiletries, hair dryer for each bathroom and plenty of wood for the fire pit (which we used every night we were there). The kitchen has every appliance imaginable too. This would be an excellent place for families with plenty of rooms, cozy living rooms and comfortable seating inside and out.
The pictures don’t do this home justice. It’s not just a beautifully appointed house, it’s also very thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained. We’ve rented this property twice and every person who has stayed with us says “I wish I could live here” or even “This is nicer than my own house.” The home is in a great location and the hosts make the experience easy with electronic door locks and a simple checkout process.

We’re so happy you’ve returned to our place! Sounds like we need to update our photos ;)
We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! This vacation rental went far beyond our expectations and was even better than described. Every detail was thoughtfully considered for the comfort of guests—it truly felt like a home away from home, so much so that we didn’t want to leave.The location is perfect for enjoying all that Watkins Glen has to offer, and for race fans, the proximity to the track is absolutely unbeatable. We were there for race weekend, and the convenience made the experience even more enjoyable.On top of that, the host was incredibly responsive—both during our stay and even after, when a package was delivered following our departure. Their attentiveness and hospitality made the experience all the more stress-free.We will definitely be back—whether for another race weekend or simply to relax and unwind. This rental is a gem!
This home is simply gorgeous! It’s even better in person. The space is welcoming and warm with tons of elegant touches. Bedrooms are generously sized. Mattresses are comfy.We love to cook family meals when we travel, and this kitchen had everything you could want or need aside from the groceries! The outdoor space was a favorite, as we had fires every night in the fire pit and admired the beautiful flower gardens. Parking space was perfect for 4 vehicles in the driveway.The check-in and check-out process could not have been easier. Ariel was quick to respond to questions in advance of our stay, reached out to make sure that we were doing well on arrival, and kindly provided assistance with winery, restaurant and activity recommendations. The location of this home is superb - truly in the center of it all. Ariel - thank you again for making our stay easy and for providing the delicious coffee and treats. You have created a stunning space, and this was by far a family favorite rental. We are already talking about when to come back!
