The house is in a great location and in walking distance to Watkins Glen state park and many restaurants and Seneca Lake marina including Captain Bill’s boat rides. The kitchen and bathrooms are renovated but the house otherwise is dated with old fixtures. It was very spacious for my family of 5, including 3 teens.

Great for Race Weekend

Three couples and a 2.5 year old stayed here for the NASCAR weekend at WGI. This house had everything we needed for a great stay. It’s old, with lots of the quirks old houses have, but plenty of space, modern kitchen and bathrooms, and comfortable beds. We’d happily stay here again!

Everything went well. There was enough beds to accommodate our group of 6. Very comfortable. One flaw is the bath curtain for the walk in shower. May add a plastic liner or a shower curtain with magnets. The curtain shifted and water got on the floor. Overall very nice renovation.

We had an excellent weekend, went to the cardboard boat regatta, checked out some of the wineries and breweries up the lake. The house suited our group perfectly. We would definitely book this house for future trips to Watkins Glen. A special Thank you to Shawna for taking care of the one issue we had and for the mimosas and wine.

The house is very clean, and close to all the main attractions in Watkins Glen. You can walk to the falls from this home. The only problem we encountered was ants in the kitchen. There are plenty of bedrooms, and all are quite large. Really enjoyed the trip. Plenty of room for all of us.

Graduation weekend

We had a nice stay at the house. Although the house is old, everything inside was updated and nice. The location of the property is not the best, busy street, but worked for us. Unfortunately, there were ants in the kitchen. And spraying Raid did not fix the problem. Properly manager was very responsive and helpful, so overall we had a nice time.

Everything was good but…

The previous guests reported ants in the kitchen and exterminator visited before we arrived. However, the ants were present throughout our 5 day stay. Also, the upstairs bathtub drain leaked filling the bathroom floor with water that flowed down through the dining room ceiling. When we reported the problem to the property manager, she thanked us for reporting and said she would let the owner know (no offer of help to cleanup the mess or compensate us for the inconvenience).

Location was great, within walking distance of Walkins Glen park. Some of the neighboring houses were sketchy but there’s nothing that can be done about that. Was disappointed to learn that the air conditioning wasn’t working right before we checked in. While we were thankful for the portable air units, they (along with the box fans) were rather loud- two of the days we were there it was very hot and uncomfortable in any room without the air conditioners (kitchen and bathrooms). There were also ants in the kitchen- they got into our delicious local donuts and we had to throw them out. If I owned or managed this place, I would add nicer outdoor seating and an out door eating table in the back. A little TLC on the outside would go along way. While the house was on a busy street, we found the location extremely convenient; within walking distance to the state park and all the downtown shops and restaurants. Would stay here again if the air was fixed and ants were taken care of.

Watkins Glen

Accurate listing, easy check-in, and simple & quick communication with host. Route 14 is the main street through Watkins Glen for all vehicles including tractor trailers. If you are a light sleeper this might not be a good location for you. It is a perfect location for walking into town. Tons of pots/pans, wine glasses, and cooking utensils. There were 8 of us (all adults) so more plates and bowls would have been helpful. Something was wonky with the freezer and the floor under the fridge was always slightly wet - we think it was from the water line leaking when anyone tried to get a glass of water from the water/ice maker. Fairly large rip in one of the living room recliners. But neither of these small issues caused any problems for us. We did like the separate spaces and multiple bathrooms. The house worked fine for all of us.

Great stay

My husband and I and my sister and brother-in-law stayed for three nights. The house was spacious enough for us to have our own separate spaces to sleep, plus each couple having our own bathrooms was nice. The location was great in terms of walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park and restaurants/shops. All spaces were clean and we had everything we needed for food prep and cooking. There were only two drawbacks for us personally and these may not apply to everyone. One was that there was not a good outdoor space to sit. There are chairs on the side porch, but the road is extremely busy with a lot of trucks going by. The backyard is lovely, but there is no place to sit there. The other drawback was the master suite. The steps leading there are extremely steep. It was obviously an attic at one time. The space there is nice enough, but the ceilings are a bit low. It would work best for children. There is a nice bedroom suite off the kitchen, but that didn’t work for us due to it being right beside the kitchen. Overall, we were pleased with our stay and would consider it again in the future.

Misrepresented vacation rental- very poor condition !!!

The property was in a very poor condition and area of town. The rental smelled awful upon entry, very run down exterior, appeared to be an old home which was once an apartment. Back room 2 nd floor ceilings were very low, and stair way narrow and could hit your head walking down, hard to believe it passed fire code and occupancy. One way egress. Carpet was worn, stained and dirty in all rooms. Reclining couch was ripped. Beds were uncomfortable, bedding was old and nasty. Very poor accommodations for a vacation rental. I would never recommend nor stay again. They misrepresented these accommodations in their write up. No screens on windows, no shades, front. door was on a main traffic corridor/highway had a slide lock, could have been easily been broken into. Do not recommend.
