Fully Renovated rural cottage in the perfect spot!

Beautiful, newly remodeled two-bedroom home. Sleeps 6 in the house with each upstairs bedroom featuring Queen beds and a pull-out couch that extends into a memory foam Queen in the living room. If more room is needed, your party may book two 50-amp camper sites with full hookups for $80/night per site (inquire at time of booking). These are just sites for you to bring your RV's. Spacious, private yard with plenty of room for outdoor fun and games. Large covered front porch and rear stamped concrete patio with provided propane grill and plenty of outdoor seating. Located on the historic Vintage Grand Prix Road Course two miles from downtown and walking distance to the Watkins Glen State Park/Gorge entrance. Washing machine and dryer are located in a separate upstairs closet for your convenience. Minutes from Watkins Glen International race track, the Seneca Lake winery/brewery trail, Seneca Lake pier, quaint downtown Watkins Glen, and the Corning Museum of Glass. Perfect for car enthusiasts who would benefit from a U-shaped driveway for plenty of room to maneuver and park your car haulers/trailers. Listen for the train whistle echoing through the gorge cliffs as the locomotive approaches Station road on the historic Norfolk Southern tracks. Relax and enjoy nights under the stars at the provided firepit in the quiet, peaceful back yard.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a furnished patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a sofa bed, and a private yard.

Great location—just a short walk to the North entrance of the Watkins Glen Gorge Trail. Easy access in and out, which made exploring the area super convenient. The full-size coffee pot was a nice touch, and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. A comfortable and convenient place to stay!

We stayed here last year and loved it, so we decided to come back and visit again. We love that the location is close to Watkins Glen, but far enough away that it’s peaceful and relaxing. The place was clean and ready when we arrived. We will be back!

My wife and I had a great stay at this property. This is our second time visiting, once in winter, once in summer.The property is a great base for the local hiking spots, and just steps from the upper entrance to Watkins Glen State Park.We also spent time at the raceway for IMSA, just a short 10 minute drive.We'll definitely be back again.

Super clean and modern house

We had a good time, we stayed for 4 nights and it was beautiful, the property is nice and super clean! All of the amenities are practically new and clean. Two full bathrooms upstairs and a toilet downstairs which is very convenient, with external seating areas on both sides of the house, however if you plan to dine inside the chairs are seated 2 and 2 and not together.The front porch is amazing because we got to seat out even when it rained.The house of located a bit remotely and gets super pitch black out at night, there are external lights of the property but no street lighting.The water is supplied by a pump and one of the nights we lost power for six hours due to a thunderstorm and we didn’t have any water and no lights once it got dark.

The home was so clean and beautiful. Drew was a great host. He was available and quick to answer any questions we presented. The location is a perfect home base whether you are hiking, snowshoeing or visiting the wineries of the Finger lakes. We really enjoyed that it was on a beautiful piece of property across from state land and just outside of town. The best of both worlds. We hope to visit again!

This house fit the bill perfectly for our family of four who was visiting for an event at WGI. It is centrally located and only a few minutes away from the track, downtown (and Walmart) and a walk away from the upper parking lot of the state park. We enjoyed the fire pit and ample outdoor space. House was clean and well stocked. Would recommend and book again in the future!

Disappointed All Around, Bring Your Own Towels

My group had planned to stay 2 nights at this property but unfortunately we had to leave after 1. The cleanliness of the house was just simply not acceptable. Towels were stained and it wasn't clear if bath mats and bedding were washed from the prior guests as they were visibly dirty. Cleanliness was the biggest issue, but the house itself was also very poorly stocked. I have never stayed at a VRBO that only provided 1 single bath towel per guest with no extras, especially for multiple nights. You will also get virtually no kitchen supplies so make sure to bring your own. The house itself also carried noise from room to room and the beds creeked and rattled with every movement, so sleeping was difficult from the noise. This is very clearly a "rental" house meant to make money and nothing else. On the positive side, the host was very responsive and easy to communicate with and he acknowledged some of these difficulties when I brought them to his attention, but frankly did not seem surprised by any of them which was somewhat disappointing. The house is also on a large property with no neighbors which was nice and is close by to the upper entrance of Watkins Glen State Park. as they were visibly dirty
