Very cute and comfortable home. We loved the fire pit outside and the backyard. Very private and secluded. Only a few minute drive to town and Watkins Glen!

House smelled super clean upon arrival. Appliances looked brand new.Sheets were soft and towels too. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere inside and out. Nice view at night, thanks for the wood supply. More basic cooking tools would be helpful… broiler pan, baking sheets, casserole dishes, wine glasses. Having tin foil and plastic wrap would be good. Light on garage was very bright at night and did make it difficult to see the stars.

Clean, quiet, isolated, cozy

Went w/ family. House seemed newly renovated (basically everything inside seemed new; house is freshly painted inside.) Comfy beds.House was cozy and warm, a bit less than 10 min from Watkins Glen. Owners were easy to deal with.No Wifi or TV, but we didn't want to watch TV and AT&T seemed to work fine. If we were in area again, would definitely return.

Our stay

The house was very welcoming and comfortable. No tv’s for the younger children so we had to keep them busy with games.
