Great Location

The property feels so secluded, but it was only a 10-15 minute drive from all the places we were headed during our trip. Montour Falls and Watkins Glen were both such cute little towns and we happened to be there during the Fall Festival! Richard and Rebekah were great hosts. The property was better than we imagined. The guest house is up on the hill and their main house property is beautiful to look down upon. We had a great time and will definitely consider staying here the next time I am in the finger lakes.

Charming!

This is a great find for our track days at WGI. It feels very private, but close to everything, with a beautiful trail just behind the house. The house itself is super clean, all new inside, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you need. Bed very comfortable. Richard was quick to respond to requests. Plenty of room for a trailer in the driveway. We'll be back!

Fabulous fall stay

Two friends and myself celebrated my 60th birthday. This clean, well maintained, darling place. Offered a central area to travel by car to many out lying places to visit. In our three night stay. We visited the Corning Museum, ate at the famous Moosewood restaurant. Had a class in cooking at The NY Kitchen, spa day at Rasaspa, hiked some local falls, did wine tastings. We came back for the evenings to a camp fire and soak in the hot tub. Hanging outside on the front porch listening to the rain in the crisp air of fall. A very memorable time indeed. Thank you for creating such a haven. ❤️

Great location - very clean & accurate listing

The hosts were great, answering a question quickly than leaving us to our stay. The location is amazing... a 3-minute drive to the State Park, and a 5-minute drive to a grocery store, ect. The cabin was secluded, private, super clean and met our expectations. The hot tub was clean and great to use. The utilities are NOT well-water so the quality was great. Reported some minor issues with temp of hot water to the owners, I'm sure they'll fix it right away. Highly recommend - would stay here again! Perfect for two couples with kids....we had a private bedroom, grandma had her room, and the kids got the pull-out in another room. A/C is only a portable unit, it would be nice if there was a second unit for the second half of the house. It got stuffy/warm over there.

Finger lakes family vacation.

We loved the area and the property. 10 minutes from Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. Everything was exactly as advertised. The guest house is a little closer to the main house than I had expected, but it still felt very private. Would absolutely stay again.

Clean, Well-Decorated, Many Amenities, Great Location

Excellent location to Watkins Glenn State Park and other great places for water falls, gorges and hiking. The property has many amenities including a patio, hot tub and fire pit. The guest house has enough room to spread out and the hosts stocked it up with snacks and water bottles. The bed in the master bedroom is soft (better if medium firmness in our opinion) and the very hot weather meant that the room air conditioners would kick on and off throughout the night. But that did not really bother us. We enjoyed eating at Althea's while listening to their Blues Band and dining at the Blue Pointe Grille outside on their patio overlooking Seneca Lake and their garden. Overall, we recommend this guest house.

The property is a great home base for accessing Watkins Glen and the Seneca Lake wine trail. It was clean and comfortable for our family, and the hot tub was a nice bonus after a day of hiking. Would definitely recommend this place for exploring the area.
