We had a great time and my kids are already asking to go back. We loved walking down to the harbor and seeing boats from the front porch. A big memory was watching the 4th of July Fireworks from the backyard! Very cool!

Lovely views and convient location

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Watkins Glenn. A lovely home with all the amenities. An easy walk to downtown with shops and restraunts. Views of the lake. My favorite was sitting on the porch watching the water. If you like wine, there are many wineries located around the lake. I highly recommend visiting Watkins Glenn and staying at this property.

Lovely Vacation Home

Our stay was fantastic and Dawn was a fabulous host. She thought of so many little details: cushions for the dining room chairs, throw blankets in the living room, different colored towels for each bedroom. It elevated it from a vacation experience to a home away from home. The view of Seneca Lake from the house was gorgeous and the location. Just out of town was perfect. We didn’t have to go farther than 10 minutes for the race track, state park, food or shopping. We would absolutely stay here again if we come back to the Watkins Glen area!

Great location, easy walk to all the shopping, restaurants and boat tours/harbor area of Watkins Glen.One great note: there is W/D in the house which is great but we had not seen that detail ahead of time. So it was a surprise bonus!Minor glitch was that we could not get the Roku stick to work.

What a Location

This is our second stay at this location. What a perfect location. Watkins Glen’s downtown is a walk away. Watkin’s Glen State park is blocks away, with its beautiful gorge trail and 19 waterfalls. Wineries are a short drive away around several Finger Lakes, especially Seneca. The house provides every essential. We’d definitely stay again as the area offers so much to see, with its many parks and waterfalls. We really enjoyed the Cardboard boat Regatta in Watkins Glen.

Clean and convenient. Timely and appropriate communication from host. Only reason not 5 stars was morning road noise from traffic and the upstairs bedrooms. We didn't need them, but if we had, I would have been disappointed. They are more an attic with beds than bedrooms. I didn't think that was clearly conveyed in the listing.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Sevilla

Host profile image
When I was growing up my parents took us to Watkins Glen and we hiked through the gorge. I really enjoyed the waterfalls. Many years later my husband and I came back to celebrate a wedding anniversary. We walked through the gorge and it was as beautiful as I remembered it. After the gorge we stopped at Lakewood Vineyards and had our first ever wine tasting. That was about 15 years ago and we have been coming back ever since. We are always finding something new to do in the area. There are so many festivals and events that there are some we are still trying to find the time to attend.

Why they chose this property

What we enjoy about the property we have is the location. We are not in the center of town but rather just on the edge of town. We have a lake and harbor view, and are close enough to town to walk to restaurants and town events.
