About this property

Fully Renovated rural cottage in the perfect spot!

Beautiful, newly remodeled two-bedroom home. Sleeps 6 in the house with each upstairs bedroom featuring Queen beds and a pull-out couch that extends into a memory foam Queen in the living room. If more room is needed, your party may book two 50-amp camper sites with full hookups for $80/night per site (inquire at time of booking). These are just sites for you to bring your RV's. Spacious, private yard with plenty of room for outdoor fun and games. Large covered front porch and rear stamped concrete patio with provided propane grill and plenty of outdoor seating. Located on the historic Vintage Grand Prix Road Course two miles from downtown and walking distance to the Watkins Glen State Park/Gorge entrance. Washing machine and dryer are located in a separate upstairs closet for your convenience. Minutes from Watkins Glen International race track, the Seneca Lake winery/brewery trail, Seneca Lake pier, quaint downtown Watkins Glen, and the Corning Museum of Glass. Perfect for car enthusiasts who would benefit from a U-shaped driveway for plenty of room to maneuver and park your car haulers/trailers. Listen for the train whistle echoing through the gorge cliffs as the locomotive approaches Station road on the historic Norfolk Southern tracks. Relax and enjoy nights under the stars at the provided firepit in the quiet, peaceful back yard.

Property located across the road from the upper entrance of Watkins Glen state park; we were able to walk right in! The house has a nicely manicured yard and the inside was clean and modern with all amenities listed. Plenty of linens and extras available for our stay. The four adults in our party enjoyed the outdoor back patio furniture as well as the covered front porch. The circular, turn around drive was great for entering/exiting from the road and for parking. We would definitely book again when coming back to the area!

Great location—just a short walk to the North entrance of the Watkins Glen Gorge Trail. Easy access in and out, which made exploring the area super convenient. The full-size coffee pot was a nice touch, and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. A comfortable and convenient place to stay!

Watkins Glen hiking and race weekend

My wife and I had a great stay at this property. This is our second time visiting, once in winter, once in summer.The property is a great base for the local hiking spots, and just steps from the upper entrance to Watkins Glen State Park.We also spent time at the raceway for IMSA, just a short 10 minute drive.We'll definitely be back again.

Mini Vacation

We stayed here last year and loved it, so we decided to come back and visit again. We love that the location is close to Watkins Glen, but far enough away that it’s peaceful and relaxing. The place was clean and ready when we arrived. We will be back!

Gem in the Finger Lakes

This home was a beautiful cottage that had everything one would need to feel at home. We all had a fabulous time in Watkins Glen, appreciating the surrounding nature, shops and good restaurants in the area. Would recommend this home for future lodgers.

Property was beautiful, well equipped, well designed and very clean. However, the one selling point for us was that it had a sofabed (we were 5 adults) and the sofabed was impossible to sleep on. The mattress is paper thin and you can feel every spring/metal bar on the frame. What made the situation even worse was that the bed itself was actually broken so a third of the bed was completely collapsed. I had to sleep sideways on one third of the bed. I let the host know the first day and he shared that he did not know about the broken bed. He provided no resolution, even after I asked him if he had an air mattress. If we were 2 people on the sofabed we would not have slept. A bit disappointing that we were inconvenienced with no offer to resolve the matter.

Super clean and modern house

We had a good time, we stayed for 4 nights and it was beautiful, the property is nice and super clean! All of the amenities are practically new and clean. Two full bathrooms upstairs and a toilet downstairs which is very convenient, with external seating areas on both sides of the house, however if you plan to dine inside the chairs are seated 2 and 2 and not together.The front porch is amazing because we got to seat out even when it rained.The house of located a bit remotely and gets super pitch black out at night, there are external lights of the property but no street lighting.The water is supplied by a pump and one of the nights we lost power for six hours due to a thunderstorm and we didn’t have any water and no lights once it got dark.
