Fully Renovated rural cottage in the perfect spot!

Beautiful, newly remodeled two-bedroom home. Sleeps 6 in the house with each upstairs bedroom featuring Queen beds and a pull-out couch that extends into a memory foam Queen in the living room. If more room is needed, your party may book two 50-amp camper sites with full hookups for $80/night per site (inquire at time of booking). These are just sites for you to bring your RV's. Spacious, private yard with plenty of room for outdoor fun and games. Large covered front porch and rear stamped concrete patio with provided propane grill and plenty of outdoor seating. Located on the historic Vintage Grand Prix Road Course two miles from downtown and walking distance to the Watkins Glen State Park/Gorge entrance. Washing machine and dryer are located in a separate upstairs closet for your convenience. Minutes from Watkins Glen International race track, the Seneca Lake winery/brewery trail, Seneca Lake pier, quaint downtown Watkins Glen, and the Corning Museum of Glass. Perfect for car enthusiasts who would benefit from a U-shaped driveway for plenty of room to maneuver and park your car haulers/trailers. Listen for the train whistle echoing through the gorge cliffs as the locomotive approaches Station road on the historic Norfolk Southern tracks. Relax and enjoy nights under the stars at the provided firepit in the quiet, peaceful back yard.

The house was so cute in a wonderful setting. Very clean. We didn't cook but kitchen looked well stocked. Great front porch for sitting. Within walking distance of the Upper entrance of the Gorge Trail. Very easy 5 minute drive to the town of Watkins Glen. And easy drive to local waterfalls. About half an hour to Ithica falls. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back again.

The house was just what our party of four (two couples) needed for a quiet get away to the Finger Lakes region. The location is perfect for access to hiking the gorge at Watkins Glen, and is a short drive to the amenities Seneca Lake has to offer.
