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.

Sister Birthday Adventure 2025

The home was so clean and beautiful. Drew was a great host. He was available and quick to answer any questions we presented. The location is a perfect home base whether you are hiking, snowshoeing or visiting the wineries of the Finger lakes. We really enjoyed that it was on a beautiful piece of property across from state land and just outside of town. The best of both worlds. We hope to visit again!

Great Location

This house fit the bill perfectly for our family of four who was visiting for an event at WGI. It is centrally located and only a few minutes away from the track, downtown (and Walmart) and a walk away from the upper parking lot of the state park. We enjoyed the fire pit and ample outdoor space. House was clean and well stocked. Would recommend and book again in the future!

Disappointed All Around, Bring Your Own Towels

My group had planned to stay 2 nights at this property but unfortunately we had to leave after 1. The cleanliness of the house was just simply not acceptable. Towels were stained and it wasn't clear if bath mats and bedding were washed from the prior guests as they were visibly dirty. Cleanliness was the biggest issue, but the house itself was also very poorly stocked. I have never stayed at a VRBO that only provided 1 single bath towel per guest with no extras, especially for multiple nights. You will also get virtually no kitchen supplies so make sure to bring your own. The house itself also carried noise from room to room and the beds creeked and rattled with every movement, so sleeping was difficult from the noise. This is very clearly a "rental" house meant to make money and nothing else. On the positive side, the host was very responsive and easy to communicate with and he acknowledged some of these difficulties when I brought them to his attention, but frankly did not seem surprised by any of them which was somewhat disappointing. The house is also on a large property with no neighbors which was nice and is close by to the upper entrance of Watkins Glen State Park. as they were visibly dirty

The house is very nicely remodeled and exactly like the pictures. Drew responds quickly to any communication and is very helpful. The road in front of the house is not busy at all and the location feels private and is so peaceful, but you can be in town in a matter of minutes. Highly recommend this home!!

First trip to Finger Lakes

We stayed for one week at the house and it was just perfect. The only reason for the 4 stars on the location was that it wasn’t as close as we thought to our friends who had their RV in the Watkins Glen State Park campground. We should have read the map closer to realize you can’t drive through the park from the North Entrance. We did hike the Gorge trail one day to get to them and it was fantastic. Just not doable at night!

Perfect Finger Lakes Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Boys had a wonderful time playing outside kicking a ball, we made smores in the fire pit, and everyone was comfortable. Property is newly renovated, clean, and well appointed. It's walking distance to the Watkins Glenn Park entrance (the better entrance, as it's all downhill, and no huffing-and-puffing!); we exited on Franklin St, and got an Uber to take us home. Location is primo, it's minutes away from downtown, and far enough away to feel like an escape.
