Awesome spot for visit to Corning Glass Museum

This beautiful 2-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a cute victorian house was perfect for my husband and my sister and brother in law's stay. Plenty of sitting area in the living room to play cards, fully stocked kitchen and soft fluffy towels. Perfectly located a short walk from the Corning Glass Musuem. Highly recommend.

Lovely Apartment in Corning

The apartment was clean, well-equipped and perfectly located for getting to the Corning Museum and Studio. Don is a very responsive host, and is quick to return messages. This was my second time at 88 Gorton, and I hope to be back next year.

The property was a very short walk to the Corning museum. From there you could take a shuttle to the historic section/Market Street. It was a short drive to Watkins Glen. The property itself was clean and bright. The bed was comfortable and the linens/ towels were in great condition. We were able to enjoy the backyard and the off street parking was an added perk. The host was responsive and checked in a few times during our 3 night stay to ensure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property and would stay here again.

The house is so cozy and welcoming. The front porch is great to sit on in the evening with glass of wine and the beds are super comfortable. The house is very close to the Corning Museum you could walk there if you wanted to. Don was very prompt with his answers to you questions. I would recommend this house and would book again if I come back to the area .

It’s all in the details.

Overall, we were satisfied with our choice of Modern Cozy Upstate Getaway, However, it was originally renovated in 2020 and five years later it seems to need a bit of a refresh. Many of the attention to detail mentioned in the 5 star reviews (cleanliness, tea, snacks, communication) were not what we encountered. It felt as if either no one had been there for a long time or it was a rush job to prepare for our visit. Nevertheless, the home is about a half mile from the Corning Museum (our main reason for visiting) and a mile from Market Street which can be reached via a pedestrian bridge.A couple of pointers and some positives:The “movie room” was disappointingly very small ( the photos make it look way more spacious than it is!) and there was no apparent way to heat or cool the room. Use the VRBO app to communicate with the owner since using the phone number posted in the house was not successful. And while the age of the home gives it its charm, please be aware the floors are quite uneven in several places and the stairs to the movie room are steep and narrow. Connecting the kitchen to the living room there is a slant of wood floor of about 8 inches, easy to slip down. Just an FYI.The kitchen was stocked with enough pots and utensils to adequately prepare meals. And we really appreciated the generous number of towels that were provided. Parking in the back was very convenient.All in all, this property was okay for our 3 night stay.

Charming home away from home feeling!

Couldn't be happier with our stay in Corning. This charming place truly delivered on everything as advertised, and provided us with a cozy home away from home vibe. We especially enjoyed being able to spend time in the evenings relaxing in the she-shed or by the firepit in the backyard; And the proximity to the Museums and Market Street's stores and restaurants was ideal. to the Museums and Market Street.

Perfect location!

I brought my best friend to Corning to visit the glass museum. This house was a short five minute walk from the museum. We felt safe in the neighborhood and all of Corning. Having an off street parking spot was very beneficial with the alternating side parking on the street. This quaint older home was very comfortable for two adults. Our host provided anything we would need in the kitchen and laundry. Bedding was comfortable and crisp white. Our host was responsive to the one issue we encountered. Don took excellent care of us during our stay with great communication!
