Cozy farmhouse for our group family visit.

Home was a perfect fit for our group of 8 adults. Our only complaint was it was not very clean but we enjoyed ourselves anyway. Thank you for having us.

Wonderful Cabin of Isolation

This cabin is not fancy, but it's perfect if you are looking for a place that is very isolated. It was very quiet and peaceful on the large wooded property; however, it was not too far away from everything. It is clean, with more than enough space for 6+ people. The front deck is great to sit on and enjoy a drink at night, and the location is so far in the woods that the view of the stars at night are AMAZING! Only negative is horrible cell phone reception, and slow internet speed, but if you are there looking for fast internet, you are there for the wrong reason.

Weekend Birthday Bummer

Looked forward to this stay as pictures showed a nice cabin setting, then I arrived. Message prior to stay said two house keys, only found one. Outside looked nothing like the picture, gutters falling off. Inside was musty, porch carpet ripped apart, beer cans left on porch, urine in the toilet, grass on couch, broken recliners.Dirty bathrooms, broken fixtures, used adult diapers found behind dresser. Absolutely disgusting! Left message for property manager and received no call back. Do not stay here! No property maintenance whatsoever.

Review from bachelorette weekend

Myself and 5 friends stayed at this property during a bachelorette weekend. It was a quiet rural location and close to 5 different wineries we were able to visit. The area was spacious and comfortable. We’d definitely stay here again!

Friends and family get together

We had 10 members of our group staying here for a long weekend. 10 adults would have been tight but with 4 kids we were able to make use of couches and all adults got beds. The home is small but well laid out to accommodate a large group. Markers for the driveway with the address as in the summer both are quite hidden by the bushes. Several window AC units kept it comfortable in the 95+ degree weekend weather. We would consider it again for a similar event.

Everything was good except for one thing

4 stars because prior to the trip I asked if the grill's gas would be filled and was told I didn't have to worry, but when we got there the grill had no gas. The house itself was very nice and as listed.

Perfect out of town get away

We were a group of 3 couples who came up to the Watkins Glen area for a kid-free weekend. This house was great! Only a short drive to hiking at Watkins Glen & lots of wineries. The house was perfect to make meals for 6 & be able to stay out of the rain & play games on the covered porch. We loved it so much, we'd like to make this an annual trip!

Wonderful cabin

Location was great. It was close to both lakes we visited this weekend. Check in was great. Beds were comfortable. The only thing I noticed was the dog hair in the refrigerator and the smell in the freezer from having the door closed when the freezer is turned off. Otherwise the cabin was great.

A great family getaway

My family and I rented this home foranlr day weekend, and we really enjoyed our stay. We were a total of 8 adults and 1 dog, and we had plenty of room without feeling cramped. There were tons of extra blankets, pillows, and towels which was nice. The house was clean overall, but we had to clean the fridge and toilets as soon as we arrived. The property was beautiful and was in a great location to go hiking and/or town.

Family vacation

The house and property were perfect for a fun family get together! We were mostly outside or on the porch. The porch was big and had games There was a fire pit and we had campfires in the evening. We went to Watkins glen to hike the gorge twice and went to the beach. House was cool and comfortable. We liked the privacy of being in the country. Would stay here again!!

Great location for hiking

The house has its own road..so not near any other houses The Sugar hill state forest is directly south of the property. There is a decent horse trail leading into the forest. The six nation trails in the forest are quite nice, with lean-tos and many small streams

Great Weekend Getaway

Spent a weekend here with some girl friends for my birthday, and this place was wonderful to stay at. The house was very clean, comfortable and welcoming. It was an easy drive to Seneca Lake and with the fall foliage, the view of the lake from the house was stunning. The property owner was easy to contact and responsive to any questions I had. On the description it is listed under amenities that there is a spa/whirlpool, but there was not one in the house (not sure if b/c of COVID), however, this did not impact the quality of our time spent there. Would 100% stay at this property again!

Would Stay Again

This was perfect for our needs. We had 6 adults/1 child and pets were an option as well. Everyone had a place to sleep and the open concept of the kitchen and living spaces made a good entertaining atmosphere. Plenty of outdoor seating available as well. The house was very clean and had anything you could need. Word of caution for others. Check the satellite view of the address to help find it. The only downside was the the GPS tells you you've arrived near a neighbors home and the driveway looks like a private dirt road. We were hesitant to go down it in case we had the wrong one. All worked out though.
