The property is amazing! The pictures of the water fall on the property does not do it justice. I could have laid in the hammock watching the water fall the entire day! HUGE patio with the most amazing view of the lake. Fire pit, game room, enclosed porch to watch the sun rise! Bedding was comfortable, linens and towels were plush. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend this house. Owner is super nice, I reached out about checking in at 2pm and he said just text me the day of and I'll check with the cleaners, if they are done, I would be able to. Cleaners are great, the house was very clean. Rent this house, it is amazing!!

The location on Seneca Lake was fabulous. Watkins Glen is a nice town with shops and restaurants. The wine trail around the lake was enjoyable. Wagner winery was my favorite. The view of Seneca Lake is amazing, the enclosed porch overlooks the lake as does the deck. Added bonus is the waterfall on the property , fire pit and game shed (which has shuffleboard, foosball and Pac-Man). The house is renovated with a nicely stocked kitchen. The stairs upstairs is steep. My husband and I slept in the main level bedroom which is the smallest of the 3. The 1st floor bathroom is renovated but the sink is extremely tiny. The upstairs bedrooms and bath is more spacious. The driveway is very steep, and there is metal debris which distracts from the beauty of this property. We just overlooked the mess. I don’t think it is part of their land. Overall I highly recommend this clean, beautiful property. We had a great time!
