Itâs an apt above a barn, the view was great but the sulfur smell from the well water was pretty intense. Felt like I was back in an apt in Paris. But over all it was a great stay. Thank you for the quick response when we didnât know how to change the temperature on the thermostat.
The studio loft was very spacious and inviting. The pictures described the loft perfectly. The views of lake were spectacular. The loft is conveniently located near Watkins Glenn.
My wife and I enjoyed our three nights at this property (Mon-Wed nights). Pre-arrival coordination was exemplary - a 4-digit code to lockbox with key was provided well before our arrival. Savannah, listed as property POC, was very responsive to several text messages. View of Seneca Lake was phenomenal - awesome sunsets! Kitchen is well-stocked; we cooked two dinners at the property. Past reviews of 'sulfur smell' is over-stated - there may be slight smell, but it's consistent with well water. The only detractor from the property is the workshop located below the apartment - work began the three mornings we occupied the unit at 0745, 0900, and 0800...unless a very deep sleeper, the workshop will likely wake you as it did us. Other than this, a great property!
We very much enjoyed our stay at this lakeview VRBO! The property was very clean and comparable with the online photos. The view of the lake through the glass doors can't be beat and the location was central to many great hikes and wineries! The bed was comfortable, however, the pillows were very flat and a bit uncomfortable. We made use of the kitchen for breakfasts and to cook dinner one night - it had all the appliances and cookware we needed. The only problem we had was that we could not connect to the WiFi network - none of the passwords written on the sheet nor sent to us via text by the host worked. However, we did not need to be online anyway and it was nice to enjoy the view from the deck unconnected.
Beautiful view and it is conveniently located about a 3 min drive to the visitor center where you can hike Watkins Glenn State Park. We had everything we needed in this space and it was very clean. . We stayed here at the end of a long road trip so it was really nice to relax with the view and be able to have a washer and dryer to use before we traveled home.
This house fit our needs. Great view of the lake and sunset from the deck. Out of town, but easy access to where we wanted to go. Very clean, spacious, newly refurbished. We could relax here after touring and hiking and wine tasting all day.
Phenomenal views with sunset, great location, cool space
The location is great just 5 minutes north of Watkins Glen on the east side of the lake and the view of Seneca is great. Situated on East side of the lake means you can watch the sunset from your porch. Cool space, plenty of square feet and very comfy. Will definitely come back.
One of the best spots to stay to visit local wineries
We didnât realize that one of the most famous winemakers in the USA had recently opened a winery across the street from this location. Iâve been in the wine business for 20 years, and I would recommend this location as an outstanding hub to visit the producers in the Finger Lakes area.
Absolutely beautiful location. Also, I tend to cook for myself when traveling. Great kitchen facilities, dinner on the deck with the view of Lake Seneca was killer.
I would definitely stay here again.
Beware of poor management. It is really too bad because the property had potential and the location was great. It had a significant ant problem and despite reporting the issue immediately, it wasnât until the next day that someone showed up to address the problem. There is a Walmart nearby so we went and bought ant traps ourselves. Did we get any discount? No. We didnât even get an offer of reimbursement of the ant traps. There are plenty of other options in the area.
The place was an excellent stay for myself & would have been for a couple as well. The amenities were great! You can't beat the large porch for your morning coffee to start your day or a glass of wine to finish it off. I appreciated the washer & dryer & kitchen amenities as well as it's superb location
The only thing I'd suggest is a few hangers for clothes & a scrapper spatula for the kitchen. These were not anything that were detrimental to my stay, just suggestions.
Thanks for a great few down days!
Great space for a family trip. The entire layout was open space concept in a renovated barn, very clean with an awesome view. The location was the perfect distance to Watkins Glen. Few minutes away from dining and parks. We really enjoyed it here including my six year old! Would definitely come back and stay here.
The pictures are spot on. Beautiful view from the deck and from inside. Good location for driving to the different wineries. WiFi works great. They have a Nest thermostat. If you havenât used one before, like us, you might went to Google directions for itđ. There is no storage for clothes. It would be nice if there were some shelves or even hooks on the wall to hang items. We would stay here again. Loved that view.
Location and views were spectacular. Rental was clean, updated and spacious, as advertised. The open concept was great as well as the views from the deck of Lake Seneca and sunset.
Amenities were great other than the bed itself was not comfortable. Kind size bed that bowed in the middle making you feel you were rolling into the middle from both sides. My husband, who basically can sleep anywhere, ended up sleeping on the couch a few nights, as he could not get comfortable. That was our only issue, but feel it is important as travelers expect a comfortable place to sleep.
Other than the bed it was exceptional and better than expected. Quiet, perfect location.
