Finger lakes family vacation.

We loved the area and the property. 10 minutes from Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. Everything was exactly as advertised. The guest house is a little closer to the main house than I had expected, but it still felt very private. Would absolutely stay again.

Home base for Watkins Glen and wine trail

The property is a great home base for accessing Watkins Glen and the Seneca Lake wine trail. It was clean and comfortable for our family, and the hot tub was a nice bonus after a day of hiking. Would definitely recommend this place for exploring the area.

Our second time staying here and it's really great. Clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable, private, 7ish minutes from WGI, right on the Catherine Valley Trail.. My husband and I ended up using both bedrooms since we donā€™t do well sharing queen beds, but the beds are comfortable. Hosts are super responsive, replying and bringing us more propane within 10 minutes. We highly recommend this property.

We had the most wonderful time at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described (if not better!). The home was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need ā€” from kitchen essentials to cozy blankets and extra towels.The location was ideal: quiet and peaceful, yet close to great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. We especially loved the hot tub.Our host was fantastic ā€” friendly, responsive, and clearly cares about making guests feel welcome. Check-in was smooth, and we really appreciated the helpful local tips they shared.We couldnā€™t have asked for a better getaway.
