First timers visiting Finger Lakes

Great location for ground zero, close to downtown and easy access to lower lake breweries and wineries as well as the awesome Watkins Glen State Park. There was wonderful outdoor space to enjoy relaxing with a view of the lake. Ed and Theresa were very gracious hosts.

Finger Lakes Getaway

Great jumping off point to explore the Finger Lakes. Perfect accommodations for the two of us and our small dog. Very comfortable, quaint and clean. We were busy exploring for three days but had time to relax and enjoy the peaceful, beautiful view of Lake Seneca from the porch. Theresa and Ed were gracious hosts and readily available if there was a problem (and there were none). Wish we would’ve had a few more days to enjoy Watkins Glen, Western New York friendliness and this home away from home.

Watkins Glen Guest House

We enjoyed our stay. The view from this property was excellent. The host was very accommodating & easy to contact. The house inside was nice & comfortable but needed some repairs to the kitchen & bathroom sink's faucets, & it needed some basic kitchen supplies (glasses, mixing bowls & measuring cups & spoons). The deck & patio while very spacious needed some repair work.

My husband and I planned this relaxing weekend away as a birthday gift to each other. It was just what we needed. The guest quarters were quaint and clean. We especially loved the back porch with a view of the lake. The fridge with stocked with juice, muffins, cheese, creamer, soda, beer, water and a bottle of wine. We would love to stay here again!

We loved our stay at the cottage! It gave us a great centrally located base to explore the area. The porch was great for relaxing, enjoying lake views or planning our next adventure.

Peaceful, Private Quarters Overlooking Scenic Seneca Lake

Theresa and Ed were wonderful hosts. Very helpful with suggestions for our first visit to Watkins Glen from out of town. They even stocked the fridge with a few items for our stay! The private quarters were quaint, quiet and relaxing. The estate was beautiful with a great view of Seneca Lake. We loved being able to sit out on the porch and relax after a hike through the state park. Thank you Theresa and Ed for the care you took to provide a beautiful place to stay in beautiful Watkins Glen!!

Great spot, wonderful hosts

We loved this spot. Conveniently close to downtown and other attractions — restaurants, state park, etc. Easy driving distance to fantastic wineries and the Corning Museum. Theresa and Ed are wonderful hosts. A bottle of wine in the kitchen and cheese and crackers In the fridge to greet us. They discovered an issue with our stay before we did and figured out an equitable solution. Would definitely book again!

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Woodland

My husband & I have had a summer vacation cottage on Seneca Lake for the last 40 years. We had been living in southwest Florida and managing our resort on Longboat Key and summering at our cottage on Seneca Lake. We sold our resort 2008. Due to family we moved to Watkins Glen and bought this estate house at the top of the hill with 5 acres and a beautiful lake view. We also bought a local marina (Frog Hollow Marina) that also needed lots of TLC. So we went from the good life as they say of retirement to a life of having fun working. The house was totally cool but needed lots of TLC. We contemplated a B&B as the main house has 6 bedrooms/ 4 bathrooms and two 1/2 bathrooms. The house is a 5 year project and every year it remains a 5 year project. The guest quarters apartment had not been used for many of years by the previous owners so after deciding not to do a B&B we fixed up the Guest Quarters Apartment for a vacation rental. This year (2015) we are adding The West Wing Guest Quarters consisting a of bedroom/sitting room/bathroom. Our two separate quarters are a great place to hang out when visiting Watkins Glen and the surround area. Feel like you are in the country but just walk down the hill and you are in the heart of The Village of Watkins Glen. We love that we are so close to everything but so far away.

Why they chose this property

Rose Hill Guest Quarters & The West Wing Quarters - the perfect place to be when visiting Seneca Lake and the Village of Watkins Glen. We sit on 5 acres at the top of the hill overlooking Seneca Lake and the Village. Walk down the hill to the Village for casual or sophisticated dinning. We are directly up the hill from the beautiful Harbor Hotel. We do have a car garage if you need to get that special car out of the weather. This is a one of a kind place for your special get away. We do except small pets under 15 lbs only in the Guest Quarters.

What makes this property unique

Your own Guest Quarters on our five acre estate property overlooking the Village of Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. Rose Hill Guest Quarters is at the top of the hill up from the Harbor Hotel with a beautiful view of Seneca Lake and the Village Marina. You have your own private porch, sundeck and BBQ. It's a great place to enjoy all the pleasures that the area has to offer but feel that you have your own private getaway. Walk down the hill for a pleasant evening on the town or stay at your Guest Quarters - BBQ, drink a little wine and enjoy the view. RELAX, KICKBACK, DON'T WORRY!
