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 :)

Just Perfect!
We wanted a place close to the restaurants and shops in town, and this was the perfect spot. We were minutes away from all that Watkins Glen has to offer, but it was still quiet and peaceful. The property is nicely equipped with everything you might need for a relaxing visit to this beautiful part of NY.

Girls weekend
This property exceeded my expectations. Much more spacious in person with no detail overlooked. Truly felt welcoming and at home. So close to shops and restaurants, but quiet and peaceful. Perfect for a fun girls weekend in a new area. Already want to come back with the family and explore even more.
