I can’t recommend this property enough. Location, location, location. It is a 2 minute walk to Watkins Glen State Park and downtown.We had 9 adults and there was plenty of room. The large upper deck allows great view of downtown and the lake. The property is on a one way street and the location throws GPS off a little, but once you figure out the flow it is really easy to get to, even during a busy NASCAR race weekend.We had a little snafu with the front door key and the property owner couldn’t have been nicer and very understanding about it.

The property is very well maintained and is in a great location, as it is about 1 block away from Watkins Glen State Park and the main strip in Watkins Glen. There is a Walmart that is about 2 miles away that allows you to get anything you need or forgot to bring. We had issues with the WiFi upon our arrival, but it turned out to be an issue with the Cable company. The hostess was very attentive and got the issue resolved in a couple of days.

Great Location for Visiting Watkins Glen

We visited Watkins Glen as a party of 8. This home provided more than enough space for all of us and was a great location for walking into town and walking to Watkins Glen State Park. The stairs at the other end of the street made it easier to get up and down the hill, and we wish we had noticed them when we first arrived.The downstairs bedrooms were much cooler than the other rooms, but they did eventually warm up once the heaters were turned on.Communication was good and the property was pretty much as described. The ping pong table is not a full size table, but the kids still had fun.The home had most general supplies (toilet paper, dish soap), but we might suggest bringing some extra hand soap. Several of the hand soap dispensers seemed to have very thin or diluted soap.

Ideal location

This was a business trip for racing. GPS took us to street below location so I could see the house, but took a few minutes to figure out how to get to the actual street. The street is on a one way road. Great place with the necessary basics. Will continue to rent there in the future for the racing events!

We chose this property because of its location to the state park and we were very pleased with that. The size of the home was great for our party. A little quirky on the layout but overall a large home for big parties that want to stay within walking distance to the park, lake, and town.

Great place for groups

This is a modern looking big home overlooking downtown…Nice for large groups and very convenient to restaurants and shops. All of the rooms have the same furniture decor. The top and bottom floors have one Master with its own bathroom and two other bedrooms with single large bathroom to share. There is a bedroom and powder bath on the main floor along with a spacious kitchen and living area. Main floor sliding glass doors to the patio offer nice views of the city. It is conveniently located near Watkins Glen State Park which is a very short walk to end of the street. There is plenty of parking in the front of the house and there is an AC unit in each of the top floor bedrooms. There are two AC units on the main floor area. The bottom floor does not have AC but seemed to be cool enough when we were here. Each bedroom on the bottom floor has access to a bottom floor patio. The house needs repairs: 1. missing smoke detector on the main floor. 2. missing railing on the bottom floor patio. 3. The kitchen cupboards above the sink need to be repaired. The masking tape doesn’t really work. A note saying DO NOT OPEN would be helpful. Other things….. 1. Could use more hand towels 2. More places to hang towels (like hooks or towel racks) in the bathrooms 3. A set of smaller plates would be nice. 4. The carpet is stained and saggy and appears to be old. 5. found long dark hairs on towels in downstairs master 5. The house could be cleaner….we h

Great house!

We had 4 children under 5 years of age. This place was fantastic for us! Huge open floor plan so we weren't right on top of each other. Multiple bathrooms, huge bedrooms, so there was lots of privacy as well. The AC was fantastic- huge plus as it was very hot and humid when we were there. Courtney was very responsive, check in was seamless and enough parking. Great house for larger groups.

Great place for a friends trip

I would definitely recommend this home for a large group. Plenty of space for 5 couples. We all had plenty of room to move around and each bedroom had a queen bed. This place has a great location to be able to go to wineries and breweries on either side of the lake. The only suggestion our group had was an 11am checkout vs 10am as several of the places we wanted to go to before leaving the lake didn’t open until 11.

Great location with easy walk to downtown

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.
