Cozy and great location

This was a great property near town. It was clean and very comfortable. Had everything you would need in the kitchen. I dont like putting anything negitive on a review but, My only issue was the secondary beds were not comfortable at all. Master bed was ok. Otherwise we loved the place and would definitely rent again.

Overall, very pleased

Property is clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for our activities while in staying in Watkins Glen. Adequate parking for two vehicles, although the driveway wasn't the easiest to navigate. Neighborhood is quiet, but the people (and pups) we encountered were friendly. There were a few challenges during our stay. The flap needs to be replaced on the toilet. We had to manually push it down when flushing to get the tank to refill. The home owner said our issues were due to low water pressure. That may be partly true but clearly the flap in the tank needs adjusting/replacing. In addition, the water did not drain properly during my showers. I ended up standing in 2 inches of water in the tub each time, and I don't take exceptionally long showers. I tried to adjust the drain, but it seemed to be as open. Even with the bathroom issues, I would consider staying at the property again if we make another trip to Watkins Glen.

Great Location, Great Price!

My family spent a long weekend here enjoying Watkins Glen State Park and Seneca Lake. The property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and was minutes from all the activities we had planned. The unit was clean, comfortable and can't be beat for the price. It appeared that the A/C and bathroom had been updated since the pictures on VRBO. The beds were adequately comfortable. Overall we had a great stay!

Great location

Overall, we loved staying at this location. Fabulous for us as we ran the Wineglass 1/2 marathon. With new beds, this place would be 5 stars. Order some mattresses from online and make this place perfect! Loved the ceiling fans throughout, and the safety information. We will be back.

Nice location for Finger Lakes access

Clean, pleasant carriage house (over separate garage) property. Nice location in a residential area on the outskirts of Watkins Glen. Convenient place to stay to visit Finger Lakes attractions. Owner was friendly and available if needed. Property manager did forget to give us the access code and check-in instructions, so I had to message, text, and finally call to get them. Would stay again.

Terrible Beds

The bed in the master bedroom was incredibly uncomfortable. I read reviews of other renters complaining but the owners added a mattress topper since then, which did not help with the comfort of the bed/mattress. Think about putting a mattress topper over a pile of rocks and that is how it felt. I had a very hard time sleeping during my stay due to this problem and that ruined my vacation. My son reported that he thought the trundle bed was comfortable but it squeaked so loud that it would wake both of us up at night. The upgraded AC unit is NOT central air as listed. It is a newer wall unit which works great but only cools the kitchen, dining room and living room (which are all open to one another). The bedrooms have NO air. To keep them at a comfortable temperature, you have to keep all the doors open and use fans. When we arrived at the property, we had no code to enter the property. As other renters have reported, there was no email sent with the information. Fortunately, I was able to call the property manager and she gave me the code. She was polite, friendly, and apologetic. The overall apartment was VERY clean and neat. It suited our needs as it had all the necessities from home. I would not stay here again due to the uncomfortable beds and the lack of air in the bedrooms.

Great location

The house felt larger than the listed square feet. The location was accessible to our day trips and the owners lived next door which helped when we needed something. The only negative is the beds which were commented on before. Even with the pillow tops the mattresses need replacing. The queen bed was sinking (you can see from the side). My adult son slept on the pull out couch and was inverted. After 2 nights he took the mattress from the high riser and slept on the floor. The pillows also need to be replaced! They were too soft and flat for our liking!

Great get away

My husband and I wanted a spot with good hiking and scenic views and lots of wineries. This was the place!!! Our host was gracious, the house was perfect, great beds and comfy couches in the living room. Plenty of kitchen supplies. Watkins Glen is a great place to stay with good access to two of the larger Finger Lakes
