Country living at its best! This lovely Watkins Glen cabin sits on 20 acres of land and is a neighbor to the Sugar Hill NY State Forest. Also nearby, explore Lake Lamoka, Seneca Lake, Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen Speedway, and Templar Falls. After a day spent hiking, fishing and sightseeing, head for one of the local wineries for a tasting.

Back at your home away from home, you'll find a cozy living room adorned with soft seating. The adjacent galley kitchen boasts plenty of storage and ample meal prep space. When you're ready to eat, dine at the quaint dining table.

The bedrooms are charming with their gorgeous wooden ceiling beams, ample closet space, and inviting color palettes. Getting ready in the mornings will come effortlessly in the sizable bathroom. An additional interior perk is the vintage Pac-Man gaming system.

Spend your evenings outside on the large wrap-around deck, equipped with a grill, which offers picturesque views of the surrounding scenery from every angle.

I’m not sure if the queen size bed was queen, it looked like full size bed. The sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable, it felt like u are sleeping on springs and it was still covered by plastic. Other wise, the place itself was beautiful, we loved the cabin and the views. It was very peaceful and serene. I would recommend going here.

The patio was the winner

Lovely cabin! But the deck, the view, the silence… were the winners! It just needed a lake to call it Walden. The kitchen could use some renovations. And the shower needs to be fixed, but overall lovely stay. One thing to be aware of, the surrounding areas before reaching the property are very unkept and destroyed. The games provided were fun too! We recommend it!
