Fabulous place to stay in Watkins Glen

This home provided us with a wonderful trip to Watkins Glen. It is a perfect rental because we were near the state park, local restaurants, nice neighborhood and near beautiful lake Seneca. The home was very clean, had comfortable beds and lots of room for a family trip. It has tons of perfect amenities and the manager and host provided quick answers to questions we had. I highly recommend this property!!!

Love this place! We were right at home. The kitchen is huge, the bedrooms were decent and with the two full baths, we had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The location is fantastic-it’s right across from the state park entrance and dangerously close to all the goodies the strip has to offer! Check in was a breeze and communication was quick and easy. We will definitely be back!! Thanks so much for hosting us!!

Great location

House has an amazing location, if you’re interested in hiking the Gorge Trail — a short walk from the front door. It’s also an easy walk to just about anything in downtown Watkins Glen. The house also met our family’s high cleanliness standards upon arrival. It’s not a fancy place, but it worked great for our long weekend in Watkins Glen.

Excellent stay. Walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park, which we really enjoyed. The house was convenient to everything. The only think if I would suggest is to install an additional air conditioner unit in the dining room area.

Perfect vacation rental

We rented this home as we were going to Watkins Glen International for the NASCAR race. It is in a perfect location with lots of resturants/bars etc around, It was about a 10 min drive to the track which was extremely convenient. It was extremely clean and the hosts were very responsive and helpful aswell. If your coming to watkins glen for a get away this home is perfect. We are excited to hopefully comeback in the future and i HIGHLY reccomand staying here. Thanks again for the amazing time :)

Michigan visitors

The home was very clean. The cleanest I have ever rented. Easy access to all we wanted to do. Very close to the park and we walked downtown and to dinner every night. We found it well provisioned except for coffee cups. We stopped at a dollar store and added to the cupboard of mugs. There were plenty of hangers which is often a problem in rentals and supplies that normally are not available. I would rent this home again and highly recommend.

Great Location!

My teenaged daughter, husband and I stayed for a week in July. The location of the house is fabulous. We were able to walk to the State Park for hiking, as well as the cute little downtown area and the lake. It’s also a short drive to other great hiking spots. We were also able to hop right on the Catherine Valley Trail for biking, and ride our bikes up around the lake to a local creamery for ice cream. (That part was hilly!!) We thought the house was comfortable and well stocked. Stacey, the property manager with whom we had contact was helpful and kind, and even checked on us after a really bad storm. If you’re looking for a relaxing but active vacation, I think this is a great choice!

Spacious but not homey

Livingroom very comfortable and real wood floors nice, bathrooms nice. Kitchen large, but no garbage disposal or icemaker or ice trays, and dining area not appealing. Several closets without doors, giving place a half finished look. AC is wall units. Loud noises of something being offloaded woke us at night, its next to police station. Across street from Watkins glen so you can walk which is nice, and can walk into town.
