Watkins Glen
This was a cozy place to stay. I thought there would be access to the main downstairs just to look around, but no, alas. The view of Seneca Lake was lovely! The bed was comfy with a nice mattress and pillows but awkward for older folks (us!) getting in and out of bed with the knobs on the bed rails. My biggest concern was the only sink access in the bathroom. I did not feel comfortable washing coffee grounds or rinsing dishes in the bathroom sink because I was concerned about the plumbing. So we had coffee in the room one day and sought it elsewhere other days. I would still recommend it with these caveats. Lovely location! Karen was great!

Great Location and Clean
The location is amazing! It's so close to plenty of shops and restaurants and Watkins Glen is a great home base to venture up either side of Seneca Lake for wine tasting. We had no problems walking anywhere we wanted to go from the property, but if you're not familiar with the area, be aware that there are some steep hills in Watkins Glen that may be difficult for some people to walk. The property was clean and the fridge, microwave, and shower worked really well. However, I'm giving this property 4 stars for two reasons. First, the TV/WiFi. The TV only seemed to work with the internet and the WiFi in the room wasn't great. When we first got in the TV wasn't connecting at all. I messaged the host and they responded quickly but by the time they did it started working. Then we experienced intermittent connection issues and long periods where it would freeze and buffer every 15 seconds or so the rest of the stay. I was able to cast my phone to the TV and stream from there. May not be a big deal for someone but my girlfriend needs the TV on to sleep so it was a big deal for us and luckily I found a workaround. The second issue was that there were no towels. I messaged the host and they told us where they should be. By that time we were out and when we got back I only saw an empty spot where they said the towels should be. It was kind of late so the next morning we just bought some. I'm sure the host would have brought them but we didn't want to wait.

Perfect location
The property is perfectly located on a hill with a beautiful lake view from the large wrap around terrace. It is a short walk to the downtown area with tons of food and beverage choices and a close walk to the lake. The owner was super nice and stopped by to meet us and made various local recommendations we loved. We will be back!

Missing a few nice touches
The room was clean enough. The sheet was too small for two adults and didn’t fit the bed. No extra linens provided. Only 2 towels and 2 washcloth’s for two of us for 3 nights stay. Chairs in the room were well warn. It provided a basic place for us to enjoy the area but could be a little better.

Great location but still peaceful
It’s just a short walk to town (albeit down a steep hill). The room and bathroom was nice and we didn’t hear a lot of noise while we were there. The only thing that prevented us from giving it a five star rating is that the refrigerator in the room shut off, made loud popping noises what as it expanded and contracted, which was disruptive to sleep. Now that someone has mentioned it I’m confident the owner will take care of that and the next person will have a five star stay :-)
