    A last-minute trip led us to this great find, which met and exceeded our needs. The location is perfect for walking into town. Note that it sits at a four-way stop, so you'll hear some traffic noise, and it's across from a church with chimes from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.-not an issue for us but worth noting. The only downside was the well-worn bed, which could use an update, as we struggled to find a comfortable spot.

    The rooms were clean, each bedroom was large enough and the whole layput was great. We hope to be back someday!

    We had two friends stay with us . Four total. There was plenty of room for all of us . Nice big kitchen and plenty of utensils, dinnerware and pots and pans. Made breakfast all three days . Nice refrigerator and dish washer also . Plenty of towels in bathrooms. All in all a great experience except for two small things. The second floor tenants were very loud with their foot traffic. At times sounding like they were jumping up and down and running from room to room. Secondly we were huge Pittsburgh Steeler fans and could not get the game on TV. We will stay again. Thank you the Gibsons

    Roe Cottage is in a quiet neighborhood and a quick walk to many attractions in the village.

    This was one of the most spacious and comfortable VRBOs we’ve stayed in. It was spotlessly clean and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay again! There’s an A/c unit in the main living area and a window unit in one of the bedrooms. There are also tons of fans in the closet, making it just right for a summer stay.

    Row Cottage has all the basics in the most convenient location for a Watkins Glen visit. Check in was a breeze and communication was too.

    Conveniently located to food and Watkins glen attractions. Church bells ringing at early morning hours were a surprise as was the noise from the vacationers on the second floor.

    Third visit to this unit which is showing its age. Electric outlets at stove do not work. No hot pads. Floor in first bathroom beginning to sink due to water leakage at shower. Porch in need of repair. Need better instructions for TV. Not everyone is familiar with satellite or under 40 years of age. Nice location but in need of work.

    We just got back from our stay in Watkins Glen. Our primary objective was to go hiking at the state park. Roe Summer Cottage was in an amazing location. It was less than a 5 minute walk to the state park and was very close walking distance to Seneca Lake. All of the shops and restaurants were very close by. It has a nice open floor plan. There are fan for the bedrooms. I could see that it may get warm during the summer months as there is no air conditioning in the bedrooms. The only negative was that I was unable to find linens for the trundle bed (I went to Walmart and bought some) and my own personal opinion is the extra blankets should be updated. Like others have said it is across the street from a church so you will hear the bells go off in the morning. If you are looking for a spacious space that is close to the state park then a stay here is a must! We will definitely be back!!
