We stayed here for 5 nights, and would definitely stay here again. Check-in couldn't have been any easier. Watkins Glen and Montour Falls are both within minutes. There is a nice covered deck with fire pit in backyard. We didn't use fire pit but did take advantage of covered deck. I would recommend staying here..

The house was just perfect for our family. The kitchen was fully stocked and had condiments and spices needed for preparing meals. There was a beautiful waterfall a few minutes walk from the property. The yard was large and had a fire pit set up for a campfire. The back deck was covered and was a great place to relax. Watkins Glen was a short ride away and Montour Falls was an adorable place to walk around. We hope to return soon!

We had a lovely stay at the Bungalow. It was very convenient to Watkins Glen and the surrounding area. We saw 32 waterfalls in 5 days!The half bathroom is somewhat awkwardly situated in the master bedroom closet but I was glad to have a second bathroom. The kitchen was very well stocked and the yard was lovely. We didn’t use the fire pit but it looked nice and I loved that wood was provided.

Clean, cozy, well stocked kitchen, and bathroom. Very convenient location to many local trails, and waterfalls, including Watkins Glen state park. Close to several local diners for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also quietly tucked away for when youre done exploring for the day and need to rest and recharge for your next adventure. There was also a grill that worked perfectly, and a lovely sitting area to have dinner outside, that keeps you dry even if it rains. Firepit also came with plenty of firewood, which was a pleasant surprise. Thank you for having us, our young kids very much enjoyed our weekend getaway!

Very lovely house, ideal location and was so clean! Owner is very organized with labels even on light switches and providing maps, and vacation guides which made it a very pleasant trip! We were only there for a short trip so we didn't grill or use the fire pit but would of loved to if we stayed longer. Would love to come back with another couple and stay a week to really enjoy all the amenities of the house especially the outdoor patio.

Great house for a long weekend!

The house was perfect for us! The living room was very large and airy, kitchen had great appliances, and the half bath of the main BR was perfect. The outside covered deck was great since there was a fan. I saw deer every morning and evening munching on the grass right in front of the house. Nice outside firepit too, although we only used it once.

Charming small-town cottage

We had a relaxing stay in this charming cottage - the perfect size for the three of us. We especially enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen and the deck with roof. We had lots of nearby activities to choose from -- many waterfall hikes, kayaking on the lake, wine tasting and restaurants when we didn't cook. The house is perfectly situated for exploring the beautiful Finger Lakes region.

Bungalow at Falls East in Montour Falls

This property was perfectly suited to what my friends and I were looking for for our one-night girls’ get-together! It was extremely clean and welcoming, located not far from Watkins Glen. We especially loved the back patio where we spent most of our time catching up and enjoying our coffee in the morning. Would definitely recommend this property to others!
