Great apartment in a wonderful area. Apt was exactly as listed. Very clean and everything you need. Check in instructions were very detailed and it was a breeze. Location close to all the fun things to do.Watkins Glen park was gorgeous. A quick stop at the Chamber (per suggestion of the host) no provided valuable info about the park before visiting. A quick 20 minute ride to the Corning glass museum is worth the trip. We were able to make our own etched glasses to keep for a fair price of 15. Would definitely recommend both the property and the area. First time to the Finger Lakes area but definitely not the last!

A great stay!

I had a lovely stay. It was very clean and close to town-very walkable and short drives to close by wineries. There is some road noise at night and morning but with the in window A/C unit, it wasn’t an issue with the white noise. I would return again!

Lovely home in a great location.

My family and I had a great weekend at this home. Smooth check in process, WC Elle t location, etc. We were able to walk everywhere in town (parks, restaurants, ice cream, etc) even with the little kids which made everything easy and relaxing. House is exactly as advertised. Everything you need and very little you don’t, perfect for a family getaway. Would highly recommend.

My daughter and I had an amazing stay. The place is simply lovely from the outside in. Spacious, clean, quiet. Loved the porch after a long hike all day and slept wonderful in the cozy bed. Two days wasn't long enough for us. Walking distance to everything. Enjoy this excellent VRBO!

Excellent location

Stayed for 2 nights. Excellent location, just blocks from town. Easily walked if you're up for a slight up-hill return home! Very clean. The beds were comfy. The shower was hot. They had little extras on hand if you forgot things. I would recommend and would stay again. The only thing is that it is located on a main road and there is road noise if that is something that bothers you. We were not there during the day enough for it to be a problem.

Getaway

This was a quaint property in the Finger Lakes region. It was clean, there was coffee, towels, toiletries and everything one would need for a long weekend getaway in an area with beautiful scenery and close to nice museums The Rockwell and Corning Museum of Glass. I felt the temperature should have been adjusted to a comfortable level for check-in, but it did heat up quickly. Me and "guest" had a great time :)
