This is a secluded home, and a lovely place for families with children, and small groups of friends to enjoy spending quality time together. It is a great place to relax and get back to nature. Beautiful hikes across private forested land that links up to the Sugar Hill State Park, kayaking and canoeing within 10 minutes drive of the house. Lovely fall colors and stunning views over rolling hills. Great winter sports area for X-country skiing, snowmobiling, snow-shoeing, 45 minute drive to 3downhill ski resorts.

    The property was absolutely what we were looking for our get away. It’s tucked away within farm lands and close enough to town if we needed anything. The owner was thoughtful and checked in with us during our stay. We look forward to staying again in the future.

    The house and land is very private and secluded with great views of the surrounding nature. The yard around the house is securely fenced and our dog absolutely loved exploring. The cedar hot tub on the deck was very relaxing, and the deck has a gate that can be closed when you don't want your dog to have access to the yard. Katya was also very friendly and responsive and provided plenty of helpful information for our stay. We would definitely come back!

    We were in Watkins Glen for a vintage auto race at Watkins Glen International. This vrbo was near the track, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. It turned out there were only 2 in our group, but this home would be comfortable for 6-8 people. The owner was very helpful and responsive.

    Took a four day weekend in Watkins Glen and stayed here. The place is gorgeous and unique. The house has big beautiful windows overlooking a gorgeous view. Incredible cedar hot tub overlooking the mountains. 10 minute drive to Watkins Glen which is a great town with lots to do and some of the best hiking we’ve experienced. The property is fenced in and so our dog had as good of a time as we did. The host was the friendliest, most accommodating we have had. Absolutely would recommend and can’t wait to get back to Watkins Glen.

    Katya was a more than accomodating host and the house was just as described, even better actually. Would definitely like to return next time I visit the area!

    The property is second to none. The house is beautiful and comfortable and has everything we could possibly need. The location is central to so much, Watkins Glen, wineries, breweries, and more. We loved the hot tub and hope to be back. We especially hope Katya, the owner, and her fur babies are happy and healthy!

    This location is great for anyone looking for a quiet retreat. The property is set back far enough from the road and is very private. The house is uniquely shaped with a wrap around price and floor to ceiling windows. Highly recommended and would love to stay here in the future.

    When we arrived at the property we were surprised by the condition of the driveway...potentially damaging cracks if not careful. Once in the house we were disappointed to find a refrigerator that was not very clean and had expired food in it. There was little room for us to put our groceries in it after we cleaned it. Thankfully we came with cleaning supplies. We also had to dispose of a bag of rice when we saw bugs crawling around in it. While looking around we also found a drawer full of cleaned eggshells....that was surprising. There was quite a bit of dust in the house especially on the fans in the bathrooms and light fixtures. We were warned of the lack of stability of the deck railing but the floor boards could be quite dangerous...there are some cracks in the wood. If you plan on enjoying the deck at night bring flashlights there is little to no light outdoors. Overall we had an enjoyable weekend because we were in good company not because of the property which is a shame. If we paid that much money for a hotel we would have checked out and asked for a refund.
