Enjoyed my stay with 4 other couples. Great to find a place with 5 bedrooms with similar setup. Easy check-in and check-out. We walked downtown for dinner and to catch the lakeside trolley (also awesome and very affordable) to visit wineries/breweries and a distillery (6 stops). Plenty of open space on the main floor kitchen/living room area where we generally hung out. Enough parking for 5 vehicles (3 that where large Trucks/SUVs). Each bedroom had own heater so could adjust to your liking-they also all had ceiling fans and quite spacious. Awesome deck, though didn’t get to enjoy that as much as it was rainy and on the cold side-but was very large. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils, dishware, cookware and cleaning products. I do wish there were more large towels in the bathroom -but overall everything was great and recommend.
everything was nice. like that lot of stuff to do was within walking distance.
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.
Great place! Would highly recommend it for any family event or any group trip!
Check in and out process easy to follow. Location centralized - walking distance to state park. House itself is big for a larger group with 5 bathrooms.
We loved the property and it's location! It was nice to see over the town and a little water. Unfortunately the cleanliness was lacking.
We were in town for a wedding and my sister and her family stayed in the house next door (which was almost a twin of our house). We moved between the houses and just had the best time! Furniture was comfortable. Looks just like the pictures. We loved overlooking the town. Wish it had been warmer so we could sit on the generously sized deck. We walked into town and had a wonderful lunch. We walked in Watkins Glen park and its beauty is inspiring! Some family visited wineries and breweries and enjoyed themselves. This was our fourth trip to the area and we would be happy to stay in this house again. I was glad that I brought my own pillow, though no one else had a problem with the pillows. There were only two dish towels in the kitchen for the weekend. I would have like to have had 2 more (though I admit I did not call to see if they would have gotten us a couple more). I was pleasantly surprised that the Teflon on the pans were all in good condition – that seldom happens in a rental!
We had a great time. Walked everywhere we needed to go and used a car service for the wine tours. House had everything we needed!
The location and view were awesome but the cleanliness was not great. Our feet were black from walking on the floor. The oven was totally disgusting! Would not use it. The rugs really need to be cleaned also. Just a suggestion but towel racks are needed in the bathrooms. We had a great time tho.
Location: Under 5 minute walk to Watkins Glen State Park and downtown Watkins Glen. Under 5 minute drive to Walmart for any of your needs. House: Main floor was spacious and had seating for 8 at kitchen table and about 6 in the living room space. 4 Adirondack chairs and table for 6 available on the deck (which has a beautiful view of Seneca Lake and the surrounding area). Main floor had a bedroom that did not have AC and felt warmest of the bedrooms. A half bathroom was on that floor to accommodate that bedroom. Upstairs had a common space with a TV and three large bedrooms (all had AC. One master bathroom and one bathroom for the other two rooms on that level. Lower level had one bedroom (no AC but cool) with a master bathroom plus another full bathroom down the hall. The house was so spacious and the number of bathrooms was really nice for our group of 11! The teens in the main floor bedroom with no AC thought the room was warm, but there was a ceiling fan and overall didn’t seem to be a big issue. Other pros: coffee pot with filters, toaster oven, lots of mugs, glasses, plates, utensils. Being able to walk everywhere was nice. Lots of parking right in front of the house. *Note: the Google Maps photo does not match the listing photo. The listing photo is the house you will be in (brown color). This house suited our needs perfectly and was a great place to stay. I would recommend it to large groups who want to enjoy their stay in Watkins Glen!
