We had a great quiet stay (lucked out with the weather...70's in late October). We were able to walk to Watkins Glen State Park and the restaurants/bars/breweries in downtown Watkins Glen. And under 30 minute drives to Ithaca and Corning. The house does have a funny layout as some access is though another bedroom (but we knew this from the listing when we booked). We only had four people so we had plenty of sleeping space. Cleanliness was great. We didn't need the cooling of the window A/C in each bedroom but it was nice to turn them on (fan only) to create some white noise while sleeping.
We enjoyed our stay while we raced at WG. The layout is definitely a bit odd, but the description is accurate. Two of the 4 upstairs bedrooms are walk-throughs in order to get to the kitchen area and bathroom upstairs. Just be ready for that. The house is centrally located so that you can walk just about any restaurant in town. Check in was a breeze. The hosts had great communication.
It was perfect for a bachelorette. The stairs were very steep but the listing says that- just don’t underestimate this. There is only one bedroom that avoids the stairs which was very helpful since we had a pregnant guest. The kitchen has your basic stuff, but not enough to really cook at the house. While visibly clean, it could use a deep clean, especially washing the floors. A few of the windows leaked and potentially there’s a squirrel in the second-floor ceiling? The beds and couch were comfortable and the upper deck is really nice to sit on. Again, none of this would stop us from staying for a weekend again. They were minor, inconveniences, that the location and local amenities made up for. I probably would not stay with the family or for a full week, but it was perfect for a Bachelorette, girls or guys trip.
Courtney was a wonderful host and the house was perfect for our group. We had countless laughs and lots of new memories to cherish. The home was in a very convenient location and because it was on a way way road, not a ton of traffic. I can forsee the ladies and I booking again here :)
We enjoyed our stay at the property. The layout is a little tight but this is disclosed upfront so we knew what to expect. Kitchen downstairs has a nice selection of dishes, pots and pans. Could use a few more towels if you have 10 people. Overall it was a pleasant trip.
Great location. Stairs are steep, but we knew about that in advance. House pretty clean except on outdoor patio area that had trash on the floor and the downstairs floors needed mopping. I give it a 7 out of 10 rating.
The location was perfect for our trip. It's within a few minutes walking distance of the State Park and has easy access to many restaurants. Access to the property was easy without any issues. After reading the description of the layout, we knew it wasn't ideal for our family situation, but we made it work. There are plenty of rooms for sleeping, but 2 of the bedrooms have just enough space for the bed, and that's it. Also, having to go through the hallway bedroom to get to other bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs was a little inconvenient. The stairs were also very steep, which was dangerous for our little kids and even a little much for the adults.
great location for a bachelorette party. the house was within walking distance to everything. the bedroom situation was a little strange, but it was clearly noted in the listing so we knew what we were getting into.
Great location, close to several restaurants and perfect starting point for a day of wine tasting. Plenty of space for our group of 9 adults. The house was clean-ish but would benefit from a good, deep clean. Each mattress had plastic covers under the fitted sheets, and the plastic was very crinkly, which was noisy. Totally understand the reason for the covers, but maybe invest in some better quality.
We had a good stay in this house. Plenty of space for our needs. Kitchen was adequately stocked and house was clean. Owner was very responsive when we needed her.
