Great Place

The house was perfect for us. We were attending a family reunion and wanted a place to stay with our immediate family. The house was perfect, many bedrooms and 2 kitchens! You can walk to everything. Would definitley stay again when in town.

We had a great trip!

This listing is exactly as described and the property manager was extremely responsive and communicative for anything we needed! It was just us and our 3 month old son and it was nice to have the multiple bedrooms to spread out with our stuff and all the baby stuff. Great location too, we walked to the little town strip every night for dinner.

Nice place to stay in town

We enjoyed our stay while we raced at WG. The layout is definitely a bit odd, but the description is accurate. Two of the 4 upstairs bedrooms are walk-throughs in order to get to the kitchen area and bathroom upstairs. Just be ready for that. The house is centrally located so that you can walk just about any restaurant in town. Check in was a breeze. The hosts had great communication.

Great Location

We had a great quiet stay (lucked out with the weather...70's in late October). We were able to walk to Watkins Glen State Park and the restaurants/bars/breweries in downtown Watkins Glen. And under 30 minute drives to Ithaca and Corning. The house does have a funny layout as some access is though another bedroom (but we knew this from the listing when we booked). We only had four people so we had plenty of sleeping space. Cleanliness was great. We didn't need the cooling of the window A/C in each bedroom but it was nice to turn them on (fan only) to create some white noise while sleeping.

Not too bad

The location of the property is the best part. It’s close to everything in town and you can honestly walk to the shops from the house if you wanted. It’s very close to the Watkins Glen National Park which was a perk! The neighborhood was quiet as well. The house itself is big and the two living areas would be super nice for a larger group staying there. The house overall my family and I felt wasn’t as nice as advertised. The house smelled like fresh paint, there was a lot of wear and tear to the home which isn’t a huge deal but the house pictures made it look otherwise. The house was also very cold when we arrived and had to turn the heat up high to get warmed up. They have small heaters for different rooms which was convenient and we used those to keep our rooms warm at night. There is also no curtains on the downstairs windows or doors which made you feel kind of exposed, especially at night. I feel having some type of drapery up would also help keep the house warmer for the colder months. The TV’s in a couple of the bedrooms would not work either. The cable boxes were out of date and the house had the new ones still in the package, however were never replaced and set up. Although the house served its purpose for a few nights, I don’t feel like the condition of it reflects the cost to stay there. With some “updating” and love, the price to stay would be worth it.

We had a fabulous time. The location is perfect for walking around Watkins Glen. So many nice restaurants, bars, and The Falls all less than a mile away. The steps are very steep, so keep that in mind. We would all stay here again!!

The house needs a good cleaning. We had hair in the upstairs shower when we arrived. Spider webs in the bedroom at the top of the stairs. You couldn't use the fan in the first bedroom at the top of the stair's b/c of the amount of dirt on the fan blades. The whole house had a musty smell.

The best girls weekend away

Courtney was a wonderful host and the house was perfect for our group. We had countless laughs and lots of new memories to cherish. The home was in a very convenient location and because it was on a way way road, not a ton of traffic. I can forsee the ladies and I booking again here :)

Did the Job

The location was perfect for our trip. It's within a few minutes walking distance of the State Park and has easy access to many restaurants. Access to the property was easy without any issues. After reading the description of the layout, we knew it wasn't ideal for our family situation, but we made it work. There are plenty of rooms for sleeping, but 2 of the bedrooms have just enough space for the bed, and that's it. Also, having to go through the "hallway" bedroom to get to other bedrooms and the bathroom upstairs was a little inconvenient. The stairs were also very steep, which was dangerous for our little kids and even a little much for the adults.

Bach weekend

It was perfect for a bachelorette. The stairs were very steep but the listing says that- just don’t underestimate this. There is only one bedroom that avoids the stairs which was very helpful since we had a pregnant guest. The kitchen has your basic stuff, but not enough to really cook at the house. While visibly clean, it could use a deep clean, especially washing the floors. A few of the windows leaked and potentially there’s a squirrel in the second-floor ceiling? The beds and couch were comfortable and the upper deck is really nice to sit on. Again, none of this would stop us from staying for a weekend again. They were minor, inconveniences, that the location and local amenities made up for. I probably would not stay with the family or for a full week, but it was perfect for a Bachelorette, girls or guys trip.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. The layout is a little tight but this is disclosed upfront so we knew what to expect. Kitchen downstairs has a nice selection of dishes, pots and pans. Could use a few more towels if you have 10 people. Overall it was a pleasant trip.

Perfect For a Weekend Wine Trip!

Great location, close to several restaurants and perfect starting point for a day of wine tasting. Plenty of space for our group of 9 adults. The house was clean-ish but would benefit from a good, deep clean. Each mattress had plastic covers under the fitted sheets, and the plastic was very crinkly, which was noisy. Totally understand the reason for the covers, but maybe invest in some better quality.
