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.

Mini Vacation

We stayed here last year and loved it, so we decided to come back and visit again. We love that the location is close to Watkins Glen, but far enough away that it’s peaceful and relaxing. The place was clean and ready when we arrived. We will be back!

Secluded yet close

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.

Great Place

The property is just like the photos. We enjoyed using the fire pit and playing corn hole. Very clean and well kept cottage inside and out. We loved eating out under the large covered front porch. Close drive into town and great access to Watkins Glen State Park. I would highly recommend staying here!

Great location and clean !

This house is in a great location. Close enough to downtown Watkins for shopping and an ideal location to hit all the local wineries/breweries. We were very happy how clean the house was. FYI - there is really no indoor dining room table, just an island. There are two nice tables outside to eat depending on the weather.

Perfect getaway

It was a perfect getaway. Everything worked fine, all amenities were exactly described. The premises are very clean and well maintained. The house offers unique opportunities to enjoy the Finger Lakes area and spent quite evenings al fresco on its terraces. Drew is a great host responding quickly to any inquiry. All was perfectly prepared for our stay. Thank you, Drew. Based on our experience we are already planning a return this Fall.

Great Property

Great property close to downtown and the Racetrack. The house is basically new, everything is fully restored, clean and comfortable. The owners keep the property in tip top shape. It is also a nice quiet location. Plenty of parking and easy access which is rare around the Glen. We walked literally across the street to the park at the top of the Gorge and walked down to the bottom. You can take a bus back up for $6. There is over 820 steps in the gorge, going down is alot easier than walking up. Plenty of other waterfalls, farms and sites so close to this property.
