Excellent home base for Wine tour

The property was super clean and very well stocked. Tim the host thought of everything guests would need. The house is located near the Seneca wine trail making it convenient to use as our home base for the weekend. Watkins Glen is only a 40 minute drive. Definitely would stay again when we our back in the area.

Really liked the property, aside from the whole place being controlled by Alexa, other than that it was great, the beds slept well

Response from VrboOwner on 7 November 2024
With the house being over 100 years old and plaster/lathe utilizing Alexa with smart bulbs was the best way to upgrade the lighting as there are very few light switches. I'll continue to improve and/or slimpilfy the commands. Alexa commands in front entrance, house rules book, and in every bedroom.

Old house with great character, spacious and very nice bedrooms. Air conditioning worked great, a big plus. My wife found the washer and dryer a big plus. Large refrigerator with large top freezer.

Very nice jouae

We enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable and clean. Nice kitchen with good pots and pans. The backyard is nice with a firepit and chairs. There was truck and train noise because there is a depot at the end of the side street. I felt safe walking our puppy after dark. Near nice parks on the lake with very nice walking paths. Also close to the Women’s Rights Museum.

Very clean older home lovingly restored. A few quirks (example one step was a few inches longer that was unexpected), a mix of modern and old charm. The location is across from an ice cream/grill - we didn’t try it but did try the bbq place recommended by the host and it was delicious. We were pleasantly surprised to see our host provided eggs, bagels, oatmeal, waffles (freezer) and snacks. We selected the main bedroom which had plenty of space. The bathroom had the basics plus other items (qtips, toothbrushes, raxors, etc). Check out was easy. We recommend Tuccis for breakfast or lunch - a mile away.

The property was very clean & well stocked with supplies & necessities. The modern technology (lights, faucets, etc.) worked well & was fun to use. The air conditioners worked great as well.The middle bedroom could use a table, or equivalent, for resting a suitcase.We liked the central location for our bicycle adventures. Lockable storage outdoors or a porch would be desirable.

NOSTALGIC CHARMER

This home reminded me so much of my childhood home but with modern conveniences and thoughtful updates (I’m 75). Though it’s an older home care was taken to modernize it enough to make it comfortable for today’s travelers. The bathrooms and kitchen were well appointed with everything one would need for a comfortable stay. It was also very clean and in a conveniently located safe older neighborhood—two things that are of utmost importance when considering any rental. Tim, the host, was easily accessible and promptly responded to any questions we had. There is only one caution I would advise—if you have difficulty with stairs, this may not be an appropriate fit for you. Both staircases are extremely steep and the individual steps are quite high. Not easily negotiated by 75 year olds, particularly when trying to drag luggage up and down. But had that not been an issue, we would not hesitate to stay again. Also love that Tim proudly flies the American flag prominently on his front porch. Way to go Tim!

About the host

Hosted by TIMOTHY COLLINS

Host profile image
I am a sales professional who has a long history in the hospitality industry. This home is offered as a soon to be retired income as well as a vehicle to utilize my passion for pleasing people.

Why they chose this property

I've tried to think of almost everything that guests might need to make their stay carefree. This house is filled with many extras others may not offer for free. Finger Lakes Roasters coffee, hand made goats milk soaps, washer and dryer with everything needed and fully stocked, emergency male and female needs, blow dryers, curling irons. I also have a dishwasher with dish detergent and a fully accommodating kitchen.

What makes this property unique

This house is so peaceful and quiet at night you'd think you were out in the middle of the country. The house is physically located on the north eastern side of the city and is close to everything.
