Weekend stay review

We enjoyed our weekend at this lovely home. It was very close to shops/pubs/and Watkins Glen State Park. It was clean and quiet and comfy with a roomy lovely bathroom. Our only issues were that there isn’t a sink for kitchenette area.. it did have a single use Keurig type coffee maker and a dorm size fridge which was fine for essentials. Also no closet area with just 1 hook and 1 suitcase stand. Would we go back? Yep. It was overall a lovely experience and the owner was able to be reached promptly if needed.

Great for a short stay

It’s a nice small place. It’s just a bedroom and a bathroom with a mini fridge and coffee maker. It also has a nice deck for sitting outside if the weather permits. very short, walk into town, so if you’re looking not to drive and go out it’s perfect, the only negative visits almost straight, uphill on the way back .

Lofty Perch Above Watkins Glen

This was our first Vrbo experience, so we didn't know what to expect. Watkins Glen turned out to be a delightful destination. Our accommodations in an old house above the town were better than expected. It was a fantastic location just a few blocks from downtown WG and a short hop to WG State Park. Pluses: location; comfortable bed; nice bathroom; host's tips; quiet. Minuses: top of fridge coated in dust; no TP upon arrival; no mention of a long set of stairs to the second floor (which would be very difficult for elderly or infirm guests to climb); only one hook for hanging clothes. We didn't know how much interaction with the host there should be - there was minimal contact. Overall, we were very satisfied. We like old houses, history, and nature. WG did not disappoint.
