We stayed at Timber Element for 4 nights. It was conveniently located near wineries, breweries, restaurants and to Watkins Glen by car. This a small cottage with limited comfortable seating. The kitchenette was convenient. The setting was nice with a wooded backdrop. Host was very responsive and helpful.

A clean and well maintained cottage near wineries and incredible views! Quiet and restful stay to complement our days of activity. Several lovely restaurants worth a stop are a short distance away (minutes) and the drive down to Watkins Glen quite scenic and easy. Host Jared was a pleasure to work with, quickly replied to a check-in related question, and had great local tips for our weekend in the area. Highly recommend. We’ll be back!

This tiny, quaint cottage was modern and clean! We have already recommended it to family. Much better than staying in a local motel!

We enjoyed our stay immensely. My husband and I were there to enjoy the Finger Lakes And it was close to everything we wanted to do. There was a heatwave, so the air conditioning was spot on and a welcome respite. Everything was clean and directions were clearly laid out.I like that there wasn't a long list of things that needed to be done for checkout. It was very simple. The fire pit was perfect and the night sky was lovely. There is firewood for sale all over the place. You can get a good size bundle for about 4 to 5 dollars. We saw wild turkey and and a woodchuck. I enjoyed a walk on the back property a little bit because there are some pretty wildflowers and wild berries and the like.Our host, Jared, was quick to respond to any questions and gave us some helpful tips for things nearby. He even apologized for the weather...
