Perfect stay!

This little house was close to everything we wanted to do. While it did rain and was pretty cold, it was nice to go back to this cozy house. It had everything you can possibly need and truly felt like home away from home. Cleanliness was spot on, kudos to whomever cleans. Will one hundred percent stay here again if we are brought back out this way.

Lovely little property and the host was fabulous with any questions we had. Very clean and in a safe neighborhood. Would definitely recommend this Vrbo for anyone coming to the Watkins Glen area. Have to give a shout out to the welcoming committee from next door - Oakley the Australian Shepherd. He came and said Hi and Bye to us every time we were in the driveway. If you’re a dog lover…make sure to give him all the belly rubs!

Nice clean and comfortable

I stayed here a couple nights with my gf and another couple. The place was very clean. The air conditioning was welcome on hot summer days. The kitchen was well equipped and the fireplace in the backyard was nice to have. The neighborhood was quiet. I had no issues at all. I would start here again.

Visit to Corning

I drove from Lancaster,PA to meet my son from Rochester, NY. Not really half way but convenient. The house is cute and cozy. All our needs were met. Close to Corning so it was easy to enjoy the Glass Museum and local restraunts. Had awesome, unique meals at interesting restraunts. Especially enjoyed the fireplace in the living room for the nights were chilly.
