This place as great! It is super quaint and had everything you could possibly need. It is conveniently located to town with east access from driveway. The kitchen and bath are fully equipped. Comfy furniture and the house is spotless. We never visited the finger lakes before . The area is beautiful and this house is the perfect nest to come and go from. We highly recommend this rental.

A great stay!

I had a lovely stay. It was very clean and close to town-very walkable and short drives to close by wineries. There is some road noise at night and morning but with the in window A/C unit, it wasn’t an issue with the white noise. I would return again!

My daughter and I had an amazing stay. The place is simply lovely from the outside in. Spacious, clean, quiet. Loved the porch after a long hike all day and slept wonderful in the cozy bed. Two days wasn't long enough for us. Walking distance to everything. Enjoy this excellent VRBO!

Lovely home in a great location.

My family and I had a great weekend at this home. Smooth check in process, WC Elle t location, etc. We were able to walk everywhere in town (parks, restaurants, ice cream, etc) even with the little kids which made everything easy and relaxing. House is exactly as advertised. Everything you need and very little you don’t, perfect for a family getaway. Would highly recommend.

Great location for walking distance in town

We very much enjoyed our stay, 5-10 minute walk from plenty of restaurants and a couple breweries. Also very close and convenient to Watkins glen and a number of wineries. Also the space was so clean, and had everything we could need. Would absolutely recommend!
