Great place to stay with our dogs. Everything that you might want was in the place, lots of towels, coffee, even dog bowls! A short walk to lots of downtown restaurants and an easy jumping off point to drive around the lake, would highly recommend!

mom and daughter getaway

The apartment was perfect. It is so cozy and equipped with everything and I mean everything you need. The views were amazing and you could walk to restaurants, shops and of course Watkins Glen State Park. That you could walk to everything and not worry about parking was a big plus to us. The apartment is quiet and very relaxing. The ideal spot after a full day of exploring. Cleanliness was exceptional, and there was even a personal message left for us on the fridge. Thank you for sharing your beautiful hideaway with us we will defiantly be back.

We came for two nights to explore the state park and Watkins Glen. The accommodations met our needs, and within waking distance to everything (lots of hills though). The apartment was clean and provided many little extras that were appreciated (coffee, condiments etc).

My husband and I stayed two nights here and absolutely loved it. It was a short stay, but because of the awesome location we got to do a lot without having to travel far. We walked into town and to Watkins Glen park. A short drive to wineries. This host keeps a cute cozy place. Definitely would stay here again.

The apartment is so cute and cozy. Close to everything making it easy to quickly pop in for a change of clothes or to drop of purchases. Had my breakfast on the porch and started my day with a view of the lake. Don't worry if you forgot something - the hosts have thought of everything providing so many little comfort items. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the area!!
