We love this comfortable townhouse so much that we stay here several times a year when we visit the lakes. The beds are so comfy and bathrooms are really nice and the property managers are very responsive. Highly recommend!!
This was our 4th time staying at this property. We always enjoy our stay. We never have complaints. Dan & Ann are always accommodating. Even though we come during the off-peak season, the location and area are a good place to get away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoy the beautiful view of the Seneca Lake, and the comfort of home. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, and pots and pans, that allowed us to cook as we needed. We will be back.
Beautiful townhouse with awesome view of lake Seneca. And great location to walk into town (2 minutes). In addition an easy ride to the Seneca wine trail. Half hour ride to both Cayuga and Keuka Lakes. Would definitely stay here again. Host was always very responsive!
This property was the perfect size for a family of five. Had a great view of the lake a quick walk to downtown and quick access to all of the local wineries on both sides of the lake. I would highly recommend this location.
Nice place, with a beautiful view of the lake. Lots of stairs, which is kind of the nature of the beast with this kind of condo. Plenty of room for my wife and I and having access/use of the garage was a great perk. Location is fantastic too - begin walking around Watkins Glen by literally stepping out the door.
This is the second time we stayed at this property. It’s beautiful and the location is perfect!
Last time we stayed was about 2 years ago and it still looks brand new!
This property has a great location, wonderful amenities, and is a place we will continue to visit and recommend. The owners are wonderful and helpfully responsive.
LOVED THE PLACE AND THE OVERALL AREA.
WE A ALREADY PLANNING FOR STAY NEXT YEAR FOR THE FESTIVAL. HAD A GREAT TIME EVEN THOUGH THE WEATHER WAS SUSPECT. IT RAINED. CANNT WAIT FOR SUNNY WEATHER NEXT YEAR.
This place overall was amazing. So clean and easy to get in and out of. Great view of the lake. Would highly recommend and would try and stay there again.
Property was excellent!
This was our second stay at this property, and it will not be our last!
Owners are extremely friendly, and the location could not be better.

The townhome was clean, beautiful and in a great location. I would definitely stay there again!! Check in and check out could not be any easier! Highly recommend!!
If your looking for a place in Watkins Glen look no further as this is the place you want to stay. Centrally located in town this can be a walking vacation as for as things to do in town. You are also located on the main roads that go north for Wineries and other attractions.
The place is spotless and you have a deck off main living area that you can enjoy cup of coffee each morning and watch the sunrise. So Relaxing and peaceful. It is extremely roomy and comfortable. Everything you need is here as well as 2.5 bathrooms and washer & dryer. The owners are so friendly and pleasant to deal with. You are also stones throw away from all the lake cruises that are available to you. We did the sunset cruise one night that was so peaceful and informative about the lake and surrounding area.
We also attended the Corning museum of glass which was really fun to do. Walked around the town of corning as well. The wineries along RT 14 are so nice and friendly as well as extremely picturesque. So nice just to sit and take in the scenery. We attended Lakewood, Fulkerson & Shaw wineries.
On our last day we drove to the north end of the lake and went to Geneva. There is a state park there called Seneca Lake Park. Beautiful grounds to take nice walk as well as little beach which for people with kids there is a splash park right next to the beach.
Along our stay we had some bad weather one day and lost power for couple hours but owners gave us lanterns to use during the night.
Plenty of space on the lake near town.
Great temperature control, nice room sizes, good view + garage.
Only negatives - traffic noise in parts of the property and lots of stairs.
We had a lovely time with the kids here! Dan was a very responsive host. There were many activities to do with the kids nearby- several state parks, beautiful hikes, a boat ride, a local creamery up the road, and a swimming area at the lake (at Clute Park) right around the corner! During downtime, it was so relaxing to be right next to the water. And the view of the fireworks on the Fourth of July from the property’s patio was a fan favorite! Would definitely stay again!
The hosts were great with communication and recommendations! Although the townhouse has many flights of stairs, it was very spacious, had comfy beds and beautiful views. We were in Watkins Glen for 4 days which was just the right amount of time to hit some wineries, hike two state parks, go to a local creamery, kayak and go to Corning for glass blowing. Would recommend!
This is the second time we have stayed at the Watkins Brewery Rentals for long weekend during the 6 hours of Sahlens race at Watkins Glen. The unit is very clean and well equipped. The location is perfect and is walking distance to the village as well as Walmart and Clute Park beach if you have your walking shoes on. We plan to stay again next year.
We have stayed in these properties for several years now. Usually 4 to 8 of us. In various townhomes. This year we had 108 friends had one on the far end away from Watkins Glen. I have never had any issues but this year 108 did not seem as clean as the other units from the past. Cobwebs at bottom of kitchen cabinets, looked like blood on a pillowcase and I assume a dirty towel left on back of bathroom door.
The views are amazing, the beds are comfortable, kitchen is well equipped. Location could not be more perfect. I’ve stayed at lots of local rentals in the area which were filled with uncomfortable furniture and consistently unaddressed rodent infestations.
I’ve stayed with WGBVR three times and don’t plan on ever going through the headache of staying anywhere else.
This has to be one of the best places to stay in Watkins Glen. Easy walking distance to most in-town attractions and restaurants. Plus you have a beautiful view of Seneca Lake. The property itself was clean and as advertised. Check-in was easy with passcode from owner. Use of the garage to park our car added to the security.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. It was like a second home for the few days we were there. They thought of every possible need you could have and it was at your disposal. The view was amazing even despite the bad weather we had. It was perfect for our family of three, areas we could come together but also spaces to be alone and cozy. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Love staying in these beautiful townhouses as often as I can. Property managers are very quick to respond and you will not be disappointed with the view and accommodations!
