I can’t recommend this property enough. Location, location, location. It is a 2 minute walk to Watkins Glen State Park and downtown.We had 9 adults and there was plenty of room. The large upper deck allows great view of downtown and the lake. The property is on a one way street and the location throws GPS off a little, but once you figure out the flow it is really easy to get to, even during a busy NASCAR race weekend.We had a little snafu with the front door key and the property owner couldn’t have been nicer and very understanding about it.

Overall this is a convenient location and large house. The amenities were not high quality and while the house was surface clean there were other things that desperately need attention like the AC, fans and windows

The property is very well maintained and is in a great location, as it is about 1 block away from Watkins Glen State Park and the main strip in Watkins Glen. There is a Walmart that is about 2 miles away that allows you to get anything you need or forgot to bring. We had issues with the WiFi upon our arrival, but it turned out to be an issue with the Cable company. The hostess was very attentive and got the issue resolved in a couple of days.

Wonderful stay!

The property was just as pictured and had plenty of room for a large group! It was also very clean inside and in a perfect location to walk to the Wine Trolley or to the local restaurants and shops. The owner was extremely kind and answered my questions immediately. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Finger Lakes Hike and Wine

Perfect location - close to the State Park for an amazing morning hike through the gorge. Centrally located to all the choice wineries and different lakes. Walkable to town for food and late-night frolicking. Would definitely stay again when back in the area.

We chose this property because of its location to the state park and we were very pleased with that. The size of the home was great for our party. A little quirky on the layout but overall a large home for big parties that want to stay within walking distance to the park, lake, and town.

Great house!

We had 4 children under 5 years of age. This place was fantastic for us! Huge open floor plan so we weren't right on top of each other. Multiple bathrooms, huge bedrooms, so there was lots of privacy as well. The AC was fantastic- huge plus as it was very hot and humid when we were there. Courtney was very responsive, check in was seamless and enough parking. Great house for larger groups.

Ideal location

This was a business trip for racing. GPS took us to street below location so I could see the house, but took a few minutes to figure out how to get to the actual street. The street is on a one way road. Great place with the necessary basics. Will continue to rent there in the future for the racing events!

Great place for a friends trip

I would definitely recommend this home for a large group. Plenty of space for 5 couples. We all had plenty of room to move around and each bedroom had a queen bed. This place has a great location to be able to go to wineries and breweries on either side of the lake. The only suggestion our group had was an 11am checkout vs 10am as several of the places we wanted to go to before leaving the lake didn’t open until 11.

Great Location for Visiting Watkins Glen

We visited Watkins Glen as a party of 8. This home provided more than enough space for all of us and was a great location for walking into town and walking to Watkins Glen State Park. The stairs at the other end of the street made it easier to get up and down the hill, and we wish we had noticed them when we first arrived.The downstairs bedrooms were much cooler than the other rooms, but they did eventually warm up once the heaters were turned on.Communication was good and the property was pretty much as described. The ping pong table is not a full size table, but the kids still had fun.The home had most general supplies (toilet paper, dish soap), but we might suggest bringing some extra hand soap. Several of the hand soap dispensers seemed to have very thin or diluted soap.

Great place

Everything about this location is how it's listed. Very clean and contemporary. My only MINOR complaint is that there were not enough towels for 10 people, but one some of our group couldn't make it and we only had 8 so it was fine. We will definitely be staying here again!

Love the place

The place was what I expected. And I couldn’t believe how close it was to Watkins Glen trail. There were plenty of dishes and I love that there was a propane grill. The only issue with the place was that there was no hair dryer, Which was the only inconvenience.
