Nestled among the rolling hills just north of downtown Watkins Glen, Watkin' Lakeside offers a peaceful escape with the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and Finger Lakes charm. Surrounded by trees and just one mile from downtown, this cozy home is close to it all—Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen International, Captain Bill's Cruise, and the area's incredible wineries are all just minutes away.
Inside, you'll find a warm and welcoming space designed for relaxation. The open floor plan makes it easy to gather and enjoy time together, with the kitchen, dining area, and living room flowing seamlessly from one to the next. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook and bake your favorite meals, and the breakfast bar is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee or a glass of local wine while chatting with the chef. Enjoy family-style dinners around the dining table, then settle into the cozy living area to unwind after a day of exploring. Large windows offer glimpses of Seneca Lake, and in the fall, the hillside views burst into color.
Watkin' Lakeside comfortably sleeps your group with three bedrooms and three bathrooms spread throughout the home. Two king bedrooms are located on the main floor, while the lower-level bedroom offers a queen bed and bunk beds—ideal for kids or additional guests. With three full bathrooms, everyone will have their own space to get ready for the day.
You'll also find plenty of games to keep the fun going after dark. Challenge your group to a friendly competition and let the winner pick the “wine of the night.”
Step outside to the wraparound patio overlooking Seneca Lake and the trees below. Fire up the propane grill for dinner made with local market finds, or simply relax with a drink as the sun sets. From your morning coffee to an evening nightcap, this space invites you to slow down and take in the peaceful surroundings.
When you're ready to venture out, downtown Watkins Glen is just minutes away and full of charm. Walk through local shops, enjoy lakeside dining, take a boat cruise, or spend the day hiking the gorge trail at Watkins Glen State Park. For wine lovers, Lakewood Vineyards and Castel Grisch Winery are both within a five-minute drive. You can even stroll down Salt Point for a cocktail at the local Tiki Bar—it's the perfect way to end the day.
Whether you're visiting for a family getaway, a friends' weekend, or a relaxing escape, Watkin' Lakeside is a place you'll want to return to year after year.
