Watkins Glen, New York
Why be near the water when you can be on the water Semi-secluded lake-level four bedroom retreat home located just ten steps to the water's edge. Located on the western shore of Seneca Lake just one mile (walking distance) north from the Village of Watkins Glen and just a short quarter-mile’s walk (north) to the Tiki Bar. Near public boat launches, Watkins Glen Gorge State Park, Watkins Glen International Speedway, the Finger Lakes National Forest, and many of the wineries of the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. Ideal setting for outdoor activities and all the Finger Lakes has to offer. Landlocked salmon and lake trout have been caught right off the dock!
This three story year-round vacation home with private dock offers spectacular views of Seneca Lake from all rooms. This 2,400 square foot home easily sleeps 8 guests and can handle up to 10 total guests. There are two queen size beds, one full size bed, two twin beds, a two-person trundle bed and a pull-out couch. There is a full bath on each of the first two levels. This home is located on a well-maintained county road and offers off-street parking for four cars.
The main level offers an expansive open concept living area with a fully equipped modern kitchen and panoramic lake views. This year-round home includes all modern amenities including washer, dryer, dishwasher, large screen TV, internet, wifi, air conditioning and a four bottle wine cooler. The home also includes a wood pellet stove, an outdoor gas grill (no tanks necessary), an outdoor fire-pit, an array of outdoor furniture for “over-the-water” dining on the dock and so much more. For train buffs, there is even an occasional slow moving real live freight train (usually with no more than 8 cars) that runs through the property at roughly 5 mph several times per week.
This property was just as the listing said. A couple of days before arriving we received a list of what to expect and what we had to do on leaving. Owner was a awesome host. We had no problems and enjoyed the few night's we had before the rain came in, sitting by the fire on the lake. Fished off the dock every morning before we left to head to the winerys. Parking was a little different butwe got use to it pretty easily. Very close to Watkins Glen, Seneca Harbor was in site to the south and the Salt plant to the north. Would definitely stay here agian.

Beautiful lake house with lots of amenities! Great view of the lake from every room and a lovely outdoor area. Really close to Watkins Glenn and so many of the Seneca Lake wineries/breweries/distilleries. Host was very attentive. Great property! ❤️
Had a terrific week at this roomy and clean lakeside cottage. Lots of toys (kayaks, paddle boat, etc) to keep the entire family entertained. Also within walking distance or bike ride to great restaurants, boat/jet ski rentals and state park with beautiful waterfalls.
Once we figured out the parking it was a piece of cake! Absolutely gorgeous s lakefront location.
This house is awesome and has amazing views. Tom could not have been nicer!! Very easy to get in touch with and answered all my questions about wineries, hiking trails, stores in town. Would definitely go back!! Tracy K. From West Chester , PA
We had a wonderful weekend at your rental. We were a group of 6 women celebrating our 60th birthdays. We enjoyed a walk around town, 2 wineries, a cruise around the lake, a few restaurants and the Windmill Craft Market. We got to enjoy multiple sunrises and a beautiful sunset. We hiked the state park and got to see several waterfalls. I absolutely recommend this place and I would stay here again.
Unfortunately our 3 night stay was cut short due to illness, but I was impressed by the communication with the owner and also that everything was very well described and laid out in detail. Great place! Not for the infirm, lots of steps. :)
The location is amazing, with 270 degree views of the water (to include an infinity view when looking north). The house has everything needed to be comfortable and entertained. We stayed over Thanksgiving and hope to visit again.
Such a great time! Right on the lake. Lots of big beautiful windows. Perfect getaway without the kids. THANK YOU!
My wife and I have visited the Finger Lakes area a number of times in the last few years. Another couple was interested in finding out about what we've been talking about. This house seemed to have everything we wanted (location on the lake, several full bathrooms, close to town, comfortable indoor space) and it did not disappoint. There was frequent communication from Tom leading up to the trip and he provided a lot of details. We really enjoyed the mornings at the house with the sun rising over the hills across the lake. There were four of us but we had plenty of room for another couple or 3-4 kids.
