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.

Beautiful location
The location Was perfect. A country setting, just a few miles from town. The house was clean and comfortable. I was very happy that I never saw any spiders inside. The house was stocked well with many things that we needed to be able to make meals, etc. We enjoyed our stay.

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

The house is very nicely remodeled and exactly like the pictures. Drew responds quickly to any communication and is very helpful. The road in front of the house is not busy at all and the location feels private and is so peaceful, but you can be in town in a matter of minutes. Highly recommend this home!!

First trip to Finger Lakes
We stayed for one week at the house and it was just perfect. The only reason for the 4 stars on the location was that it wasn’t as close as we thought to our friends who had their RV in the Watkins Glen State Park campground. We should have read the map closer to realize you can’t drive through the park from the North Entrance. We did hike the Gorge trail one day to get to them and it was fantastic. Just not doable at night!

Perfect Finger Lakes Experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Boys had a wonderful time playing outside kicking a ball, we made smores in the fire pit, and everyone was comfortable. Property is newly renovated, clean, and well appointed. It's walking distance to the Watkins Glenn Park entrance (the better entrance, as it's all downhill, and no huffing-and-puffing!); we exited on Franklin St, and got an Uber to take us home. Location is primo, it's minutes away from downtown, and far enough away to feel like an escape.

Perfect Watkins Glen house!
This vacation home was a real treat for our family reunion! The house is within walking distance of Watkins Glen State Park north entrance and provides easy access to the town of Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. The house is very comfortable for preparing meals and family visiting. The beds are so comfortable! Everything was well-furnished and impeccably clean. Communication with the host was very easy and he was very attentive to messages. We have recommended the house to family members and would stay there again in the future.

The house was just what our party of four (two couples) needed for a quiet get away to the Finger Lakes region. The location is perfect for access to hiking the gorge at Watkins Glen, and is a short drive to the amenities Seneca Lake has to offer.

Great location just outside of town. You are far enough out of the way to enjoy some peace and quiet but just a short drive to get into the heart of Watkens Glen. The property is very clean and is perfect for a multi couple stay. The host is very polite and quick to respond to any questions you may have.

An accident on first day
I know there are all good reviews about this property. However, I need to share my honest experience. We arrived without any problems finding the property. Everything was nice and clean as it was described. But the detergent packs left under the bathroom sink were not labeled and were mistaken as shampoo. It got into my left eye and I had to rush to emergency room with painful chemical burns. The manager did respond to provide us the safety sheet information to the doctor and said the packs were not supposed be in the bathroom in the first place. Unfortunately, I spent the first night in the emergency room because of that. Went to see an ophthalmologist the next day to evaluate damages. The beds were overly soft and the pullout sofa bed made backs ache all over after 2 nights and I ended up sleeping on the floor. Surroundings are tranquil and calm. We only heard and saw the train 2 times out of the 4 days stay during the daytime. However, the pump noise in the lock room may disturb your sleep if you are light sleeper. The thermostat could not control to cool down the rooms but we get cold air by opening the windows and patio door. Nevertheless , the location of the property is perfect for people want to explore Watkins Glen state park. I hope this will help people that are thinking about booking this property.
