Nicely updated, large house, stunning views

My hiking group of 18 stayed at 140 & 144. Rooms are large & nicely updated. Decks overlook downtown & Seneca Lake for fantastic views, especially with the leaves at peak color. Walk a block to the Gorge Trail system at Watkins Glen or downtown for shopping, dinner or ice cream. Lots of shelves in bathrooms to put things, but no towel racks or hooks - a minor unfinished renovation. We were delighted with our stay!

Great location

The house is perfect for a large group. We had 10 people and there was plenty of room. We were able to walk to the park and a few restaurants. Short drive to the wineries. Highly recommend this property.

Perfect location, comfortable house

This is a perfect location for doing anything in Watkins Glen and for enjoying the wineries which is what we were here for. We were seven adults and were quite comfortable in this house. enjoyed having the big decks overlooking city and farms. it was cold during our stay but the view can be enjoyed from many rooms inside the house. Only small issues were a little problem checking in: the key was not in our lock box but in the lockbox next-door, and the fact that there was no hairdryer in the house though it had been advertised as having one. Overall a great stay.

Served our purposes well

The house is large and clean. The only outdoor space is the deck but we knew that before renting. We had a group of 9 people and there was plenty of room. You can tell it is a rental property only as it lacks hominess but that also means less thing to break. The beds were very comfortable, we all discussed how they were better than our own. Location is great for a wine tasting trip. We would rent again.

Odd layout and not clean

The location is good being walkable to town. The house itself was dirty- carpeting is dirty. Bathrooms smelled musty and were not clean. Amenities are lacking. No soap for shower, etc. The layout is very odd- it’s basically a duplex without a dividing wall. The air conditioners are not in the bedrooms, so when you close the door- there’s only air in the hallway. No dresser or hangers or anything in the bedroom aside from the bed and a nightstand. If none of this bothers you, it’s a great rental.

Functional Property

The house was not very “cozy” but was good for those that were only there to eat, sleep and shower. It looked like it was recently renovated. The shower seemed backwards with seat in front and open in the back.,,but very good flow!

Clean and good set up for families

The property is clean and in a great location close to town. The rooms are set up nicely for groups to have their own rooms and bathrooms to themselves. Good entertaining space having the kitchen/dining and living room all on the same level. Cons: towels were really bad as were the pillows. I made a quick run to Walmart to purchase new towels, pillows and pillow cases. The bedroom that is downstairs is located directly under the kitchen/dining area and you absolutely know it when you are down there. YOU CAN HEAR EVERY FOOT STEP!! Lastly the oven could use a good scrubbing. We tried to cook some breakfast casseroles and it got a bit smoky due to the grime on the bottom of the oven. Overall it was a good place to stay once we addressed some of the issues.

Nice Stay

We had 10 adults for a wine weekend. House was nice and warm and clean. Lots of dishes, pans. Nice setup with 3 full baths, 2 half, and 5 bedrooms. Plenty of room on main floor to move around. No yard per se but great decks for summer use. Manager was very helpful and responsive prior with information. Only suggestion it to have more towels available. Overall a nice, big house to rent close to town and wineries. Would stay again.

Great Location....Stay at your own risk if you like clean

There were 8 adults in our party. The walk up and down the stairs to town isn't as intimidating as it looks and the little town is cute and quaint. Landons right off the steps is the best bar! The state park is right there so that's in the perfect location also to the property. The House itself is 3 Full bathrooms, 2 halfs and 5 bedroom. The description on VRBO is all over the place so don't listen to it. There is no washer or dryer. We stayed for 3 nights. We received a dirty towel set each for the 3 days; No extra anywhere. There were hairs and blood in each bathroom and the water is yellow. The carpet in the rooms upstairs were so stained and unacceptable you have to wear socks. The sheets and comforters all had stains and pillows and mattresses were old and very uncomfortable. We went to walmart about 5 min drive away and got all new sheets and comforters and left them so you may get our clean sheets. The kitchen was fine we didn't use anything; happy the fridge worked for our beer and snacks. The floor when we walked in was dirty; looked like they maybe cleaned it half way and noone came in to check the place in months when we arrived. The couch in the other section was clean. End result, I wouldn't stay here again however if your looking for a cheap place with a lot of people as long as you bring clorox wipes, sheets, comforter, towels and slippers you should be good to go. Finally, I never called to complain in their defense and never really write reviews bc most are bad however the dirtiness of the place warranted it this time.

Vacation week getaway!

We had a great week. The property is close to Franklin Street which is the Hip strip which has all the food and Bars. Walking distance from the Watkins Gen State Park a gorgeous attraction and 30 minutes to Ithaca which is a bigger City. The House has much more pros than cons. Some fixtures and equipment need updating. C.W.

Great location

We had a fantastic time in the FLX. We loved how close we were to town and hiking. One of the bathrooms had not been cleaned and neither had the grill. But other than that, the house was great. We had plenty of room for our group of 9 girls. The property manager responded quickly when I reached out with a question.

Great for a bachelorette party/friend getaway

The house had everything we needed! It was perfect for our bachelorette party and had plenty of room for everyone. It was great to have 3 full baths and 2 half for 8 women. We utilized the deck a lot as well. Communication was streamlined and I was kept up to date. Would stay again!

Great house, great location

The house is located a short walk from the village of Watkins Glen. It's new construction, and with it's layout of bedroom suites offers great privacy. A great central location for all the Finger Lakes region has to offer.
