Enjoyed our visit
We really enjoyed our stay. Loved the lake view and spent time in the evening sitting outside. Location was very convenient to the park and town. Neighborhood was quiet and mattresses were comfortable. Only issue we had is that it was a bit hot while we were there and the air conditioning upstairs just doesn’t do enough to cool the rooms.

Perfect getaway
We had the best time here. We stayed for a long weekend and it was perfect for our group. They had all the amenities you could need and were very responsive when we reached out. The view is beautiful and is a perfect location. It is also walking distance from the tiki bar that also has jet ski and boat rentals. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect location
From the beautiful sunrises to relaxing on the deck overlooking Seneca Lake, everything was perfect! The location was convenient to Watkins Glen with so much to do nearby. The waterfall and game room were a big hit. Stunning view of the lake from the ADK chairs up there too. Kitchen was well stocked with all we needed. Wonderful place for a fantastic girls weekend, thank you!

Will come again!
We really loved this place. It was clean, convenient to Watkins Glen, and wineries. It was very private. The deck was wonderful to hang out on, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. Had a great time. Will definitely be back. We had no problem with the driveway that the listing did point out but do heed their warning.

Nice weekend trip
Very clean inside, and conveniently located close to town. It is fairly spacious inside and provided needed items. However, the driveway requires a lot of work. Also, front view from deck includes construction scene, junky looking boat and a front stairway overgrown with weeds. I have used VRBO for many trips, and would consider this property overpriced.

Excellent place to stay!
My husband and I along with another couple stayed here in the fall. It was perfect for what we were looking for. The views are beautiful as well as the home. The only thing to keep in mind is (as described in the description) bring an SUV. Even during the fall, I think a sedan may bottom out going up the driveway. My SUV made it no problem though!

Beautiful spot!
Our group has of 6 had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! The house was very clean and comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. The deck is fantastic- big and has a gorgeous view of the lake. There’s a great little game room by the fire pit and waterfall, which was very pretty. Our contact for the house was very responsive to questions. We enjoyed some hiking at the state park, a great dinner at Stonecat, a trolley wine tour, and grilling out for a dinner. Kitchen had everything we needed. Overall it was an awesome time and we highly recommend this house!

Lovely lakeside getaway
Had a lovely stay at Elsie’s Cottage! The house is beautifully kept and clean, and consistent with photos in the listing. The spacious deck has beautiful views of the lake, and plenty of seating. The house is located a few minutes from downtown Watkins Glen, offering a multitude of choices for dining out, coffee, and ice cream. Would stay again!

Cute and comfortable
Cute updated property! We were there in off-season just to relax and really appreciated the amenities provided by the owners. Be sure to bring your own drinking water, however. Even filtered, the taste and color were suspect. The home was very comfortable and the view was fabulous. We enjoyed our visit!

Lovely lake view retreat
This property is lovely - one is very high up with a great view of the lake. If one is inclined - sunrise is spectacular. The porch is sunny and amply furnished. Property Manager accessible and addressed questions promptly. Easy access to Watkins Glen and to wineries. Be prepared for a steep climb up the driveway!

Amazing view!
This property was a last minute booking and it was great! Great location to Watkins Glen town and wineries. The view from the screened in porch and the brand new deck were amazing of the lake. This house has had recent updating and they did a good job. Beds were comfortable too!
