Location was fantastic. Room deck was nice, as was the common area deck with fire pits. The owners did a good job of modernizing yet maintaining the nostalgia of an older motel.

Perfect location & beautiful lake views. Resturant staff friendly & good tasting menu. Comfortable bed, bahroom small & could use exhaust fan & grab bar in shower (for Seniors) - but not a big deterrent. Definately a good choice if going to Watkins Glen State Park to see Gorge Falls, many local wineries & breweries as well.
