Other than the mishap with the outdoor grill having a few nature flying loving bees camped out in it. I contacted the host and Kirk took care of it before dinner with the family. One thing that could make it easier with kids staying with you, is having a TV in the upstairs bedroom with the two beds. So, the kids can stay occupied after a long day in town. It makes extended families enjoy their night a little easier to unwind after having kids all day. Everything was close which made it easier to spend time on the town.Thanks for another wonderful stay in beautiful finger lakes NY. We all won't forget it.
Awesome accommodations for Race weekend. So convenient to town. Close to bars, restaurants and local sights - but on a nice quiet street. Couldn’t ask for more!
The house had everything that we needed. Location was great! Could walk to Watkins Glen State Park and to restaurants. Short drive to several wineries. We had a great time!
The place was nice for what it is. Older house that has a nice renovation. Great location, restaurants and stores only a few blocks away. Great coffee. Shop just around the corner. Friendly people and quiet neighborhood.
Place was clean and spacious like described, walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park, restaurants and bars. Minor issues going on but speedy response from host. I would stay here again!
Location was great for walking to the lake and to Watkins Glen State Park. Also an easy drive to Ithaca. House itself was spacious, but a little extra cleaning around windows would be helpful to allow windows to be opened to enjoy the fresh air. Property manager was very responsive with a maintenance request.
Showers could have been a little cleaner, but weren’t horrible (if the inside shower curtain was changed upstairs it would have been better). Easy check in process, the property manager was very responsive, close to the town (walking distance). Nice size backyard if you want to enjoy time outside.
Girls’ weekend for wine tasting! The house was perfect for the 4 of us. Everyone had their own room. The house was clean and smelled good! We loved that the beds were made and everything we needed was provided in the bathrooms and kitchen. We definitely enjoyed hanging out talking in the evenings on the comfy couch. Wonderful home in a great location!
I was really happy with this house. The kitchen had plenty of flatware, cookware, plates, and cups. The beds were comfortable, ample dining space, comfortable couch-all 5 of us fit to watch a movie. The neighborhood is quiet. There’s a playground a few blocks away that I walked to with my kids. The people we encountered were very friendly. I felt safe. There’s a bunch of restaurants in the area & a grocery store. It’s super close to Watkins Glen state park. The backyard is very large. I wish I had thought to bring a soccer ball for the kids to play out there. The Wi-Fi was great. I would stay there again.
We had a lovely short stay in the house - had plenty of room for 6 adults, beds were really comfortable and the AC units kept the place cool, although additional fans for the bedrooms would have been appreciated.
The house is in a great location near the lake and close to shops and restaurants on the main street. The house is in really great condition, as the pictures show; although, we would have liked a few more amenities in the kitchen and bathroom (e.g.: wine bottle opener, hair dryer, additional frying pans). Overall it was a great stay - checkin and communication were all easy and convenient.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay Patti! There should have been 2 additional floor fans in the house, a wine opener, and a hair dryer for sure, I will have to check the house and see where they went!

Watkins Glen House
Flip House. Surface Clean but needs improvement. Sofa was dirty we found food and a vape pen under the cushions. The bathrooms needed a good bleaching. The grill and picnic table should have been cleaned.

Good location
The house was within walking distance to state park, shops and restaurants. Even though the house has been redone on the inside, there were a few issues. The water/ice maker on the fridge were not working and the front steps were slightly dangerous. Bedrooms were spacious and beds comfortable. I would say the house was "bare bones" as far as amenities go, but we only spent 2 nights so it was OK for us.

This house is spacious and has 5 queen-size beds in four bedrooms. It's also located very close to a Walmart and downtown. But it's also an older house that has some issues. It's not as clean as we'd hoped, and none of the beds have mattress pads. It only has minimal amenities. The property manager is very responsive and quick to resolve issues. It's OK for a short-term stay.

Disappointed
The house itself was really nice. Disappointed because it was not clean. You pay a lot of money to stay in these homes and you would think they would be clean. Floors were filthy and spider webs everywhere.
House was nice, spacious and clean. However, listing stated there would be extra blankets and pillows and we found neither. The house could also use additional kitchen supplies. Trying to make breakfast for a group of 8 was challenging with only one working frying pan. Also exterior of house looks nothing like the listing photo and should be updated. Overall though a good experience and I would rent here again if the suggested additions were made.

Thank you for your feedback Michelle!
I am sorry you were unable to find the extra blankets, they are located in the bottom drawers of the dressers in all of the bedrooms! I will definitely look at what supplies need added and do so for the kitchen as well! I didn’t even realize the outside view of the house was still the original when we bought the property, and since we have done a ton of work I will make sure to update that ASAP thank you for letting me know :)
Perfect accommodations in a quiet neighborhood. Close to everything you'd want.

Great location and good price
Overall the rental was fine. Location is awesome. Quiet neighborhood and super close to everything. The kitchen is lacking some things so if you rent, make sure to bring absolutely everything you need.
As others have indicated, seating is an issue. If you have more than 6 adults, there isn't anywhere for everyone to sit and play games or even talk. Unfortunately someone had broken 2 chairs so we didn't even have 8 chairs around the table to eat together.
Communication with rental management was quick and easy. Just have appropriate expectations, it's clearly an older home that was remodeled for a rental.
Generally clean and comfortable. Our group loved the location. The good thing is...if you need anything Walmart is next door!
There were 10 of us,and we all had a comfy stay. The house is in a great neighborhood very close to everything you need. We did a lot of hiking, biking, kayaking and restaurants. There's also a Walmart 2 min away if you need to buy foodstuffs. We didn't spend much time in the house, just the nights. And we've noticed how quiet it is at night. We didn't cook either, so hard to judge the kitchen supplies,but breakfast places are so close,we didn't even want to bother about cooking.
For those who want to visit just Watkins Glen State Park, it's 3 min away!
All in all, we loved our stay and hope to be back!
