Wonderful spot
This rental has a scenic view, while being so close to town and Watkins Glen State Park. It is also an easy drive to many wineries and we easily drove to Keuka Lake and Ithaca on separate occasions. So many beautiful places and delicious wines close by!

Great location. Well equipped home
Appreciated the cleanliness. If you forgot anything it is probably there from your shampoo to a toothbrush! Very well equipped and lots of information regarding where to eat and what to do in area. We did not not use the balcony or fire pit area as it was raining some but looked nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing getaway
We had such a wonderful, relaxing weekend. The house was so clean and had so many extra touches. I have never been to a vacation rental that has been so well stocked with everything you might need. Caitlin is so thoughtful! The porch is incredible. We spent much of our time out there admiring the view. And we were able to easily walk to town and Watkins Glen State Park.

Quaint historic home
This place was super cute as well as being built in the 1800's which I loved! It was close to everything and had anything you may have forgotten. The owner works at the visitor center so there was a wealth of info on places to eat and things to do. Super nice hosts we would defiantly stay with them again.

A beautiful getaway
We had a wonderful, long weekend stay in the Fingerlakes apartment. The place was quiet and clean. We enjoyed relaxing mornings on the front porch and quiet evenings sitting around the campfire. The apartment is in a great location and you could easily walk to downtown Watkins Glen if you wanted to. Caitlin communicated to us quickly when there was an emergency plumbing issue. She worked quickly to get plumbers to the property within a few hours. Would definitely stay again in the future!

This is a beautiful, clean older house with lots of character. We have stayed in many vacation rentals but none as well-appointed as this one, Caitlin has truly thought of everything. Very close to downtown and lots of wineries.

Beautiful Place
We really enjoyed our stay. The owners provide everything you need including shampoo and soaps. The place feels like home so warm and inviting. The beds were very comfortable. We met the owners and they are very nice and respond right away if you have any issues. The location is close to Watkins Glen and town. Beautiful views from the front porch. We would definitely stay again.

We absolutely love this place. We stayed here last year as well. The space is perfect and so well stocked with anything anyone might forget. The porch is great and so is the little pet area up top. We're big fans.

Long weekend in Watkins
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay visiting family for a celebration of life and reunion. Our second time returning to your place and we will return again. We especially enjoy the quiet morning enjoying a cup of coffee, sitting on the front porch that oversees Seneca Lake. Highly recommend! Everything you might forget to bring when traveling, they have thought of and provide!

Best VRBO experience so far!
My partner, his mother and I were all thrilled with this space. Exactly as described and then some! It had every amenity we could have needed from kitchen supplies and cleaning products to toiletries, backup kitchen supplies (I baked a cake while we were here) and more! It was also absolutely charming inside and the front porch was a great place to unwind after all the hiking we did in the area. Very close to downtown too! We will absolutely stay here again!

Absolutely gorgeous and well-stocked
The property was tremendous, with regards to location, beauty, and comfort. The hosts were spectacular in communicating and taking care of us (e.g., after a snowy and icy night, the host promptly salted the (very steep) driveway to ensure we could tour the region that day). In addition, the property had almost every item you could possibly imagine or need--no need to pack almost anything but clothes and personal items :) Thank you so much, and we hope to be back one day if you will have us!

It was a LOVELY house. Great location
It was a LOVELY house. We had the lower 2 bedroom apt. Really clean and very well stocked with anything imaginable that we might have needed. The location was great, just a few blocks from Watkins State park. We walked there and back. We spent many evenings hanging out on the front porch. Quite pleasant. Very clear directions for everything.
