Spent a week seeing the sites of the finger lakes area during the day and the evenings sitting around the fire pit enjoying the stary sky. The cabin was as described and overall quite enjoyable.

Another Year / Another Stay at Christine's Cabin

We did our annual trip to Seneca Lake and for the last several years we have stayed at Christine's cabin - it is very convenient to see friends we have in the area and to visit the wineries on Seneca Lake. The Cabin is always clean and everything works well - the gas grill outside was recently updated I noticed. Thanks for another year and we'll be back next year if not sooner.

Cozy cabin

Responsive, kind owners who live within walking distance of cabin. Not on the lake but allowed to walk down to the owners dock with seating area. Located conveniently by several breweries and wineries. Quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Little Spot

Very convenient place to stay. VRBO was tiny but that was expected. Perfect for the two of us, especially since we intended to use it only as a home base between activities like winery visits. Location was great. The host Sue was very kind and responsive! Neighbors were friendly!

Our favorite place to stay in the Finger Lakes

This is the second year we've stayed at Christine's Cabin. The cabin is clean, updated, and relatively private. Seneca Lake is less than two blocks from the cabin, and Henry and Sue were kind enough to let us use their dock to launch our kayak and take in the views. This is a perfect place to stay if you want access to all of the amazing things that the Finger Lakes have to offer. If we're able, we'll be coming back to Christine's Cabin again next year. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Another year at "Christine's Cabin"

We stayed at Christine's Cabin again this year (3rd stay there). The experience has been improved with a new portable air conditioner, which works better than the old one they had in the bedroom window last year. Otherwise everything was pretty much the same which is perfect for our needs. Location is great for visiting Seneca :Lake wineries and for meeting friends who live in the area. Will likely rent this place again next year.

Perfect Birthday trip

We loved our stay at Christine's Cabin. All the comforts of home on one level. The cabin was clean and well-equipped. Made a campfire, (wood provided) our first night there and sat outside in the Adirondack rockers. We also cooked our dinner on the gas grill and ate on the patio. Lovely evening and so relaxing. The location was perfect. Close to Watkins Glen and many wineries in the area. The Finger Lakes distillery was right down the road with music on the patio. The cabin was a perfect place to relax after a day of hiking, waterfalls and wineries.

Quiet peaceful retreat!

This little cabin was wonderful for a romantic weekend. Only minutes away from several wineries, breweries and distilleries, plus close to all the attractions in Watkins Glen (we recommend lunch at the Village Marina! Beautiful outdoor dining view). The property was clean and had everything we needed, even things we didn't expect like bug spray, sunscreen, even a deck of cards. Beautiful firepit outside with wood and a lighter provided. Plenty of dishes, they ask that you wash and put away yourself but everything you need to do so is provided. The bath towels were extra large and plush. It was quiet, we loved having the windows open at night and hearing the nighttime nature sounds plus getting a great breeze. It's a small place, but just right for a couple to get away. We had a fantastic time.
