Such a great place to stay! Cute, cozy, CLEAN! Easy check in and check out. Great location! We had 6 adults which was perfect! Plenty of room. Hot tub was hot upon arrival. The hot tub is professionally cleaned every Friday and their maintenance guy was very nice and helpful! Home is very well stocked with kitchen utensils,pots,bowls, cups, and pans. We really enjoyed ourselves. We would most definitely go back!
Lovely cabin with a really beautiful view of Seneca lake from the deck. The managing company was excellent! We had a great time & certainly recommend this house.
The property was clean and located in a quiet area. We were able to walk Watkins Glen and enjoyed the hot tub at night. The property was exactly as described and gave us time to reconnect as a family.
We absolutely loved the location and the cabin! Lots of privacy. Kitchen missing a few items that we thought were basic, but maybe we just couldn't find them (cheese grater and dry measuring cups). Great time anyways.
Castello was amazing. We had a great weekend! The deck and outside area was so cool! It was perfect bc for our family of 7! We had everything we needed except wood for the fire out. Which was right down the road. Great location, great amenities! Ruth was awesome with communication! We will be back to Castello!
The location and home was lovely. We always stay, annually, at VRBOs and in the Finger Lakes. The furnishings are usually very comfortable. This time, however, I have to say there wasnât much in the way of comfortable seating for the 5 of us. The dining room chairs were uncomfortable. The leather chair was comfortable. The outdoor seating was VERY comfortable, loved it. Iâm sorry but the beds were extremely uncomfortable. Soooo soft. Sorry.
Also, I would advise putting a rubber mat in the upstairs shower. One of the ladies fell back into the shower when she slipped while stepping out. Fortunately only painful bruises,( and sheâs in good shape physically), so I think you really should think about that. Sheâs a nurse and felt you should know.
Loves the fire pit at night, it was so relaxing. Again, put some money into the mattresses, no pun intended.
Our family of 8 had a wonderful time in this cabin but it had it pros with the cons.
Pros: beautiful property, deck had a nice but far off view of the lake. There was plenty of flat yard area for outside games. The fire pit was a beautiful area. The house se was very clean and comfortable. Both upstairs bedroom had balconies which 2 of our married children enjoyed each morning. It was a short drive to Watkins Glenn (the reason for our stay) and surrounded by many vineyards if youâre into wine tours.
Cons: it sleeps 8 but you cannot seat 8 in either of the living room or basement family room without using kitchen chairs or sitting on the floor. There are also only 4 chairs around the fire pit. The blow dryer and DVD control was missing and the master and basement bed were not comfortable. The hot tub was not hot.
Conclusion: Depending on your choice of activities, this property offers everything you could desire for a family weekend away but for the price, it falls just short of perfect. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in need of a large family vacation home near Watkins Glen, I just wish it hadnât been so expensive with all the added fees.
kitchen was well stalked with an island for extra prep space. but the dishwasher has a broken door, but works. also many of the dinnerware was chipped, time to replace them. the downstairs was great for movie watching. bedrooms were adequate, but no place to put suitcases or a small dresser. also more bath towels would have been nice. the deck has a wonderful view. overall we enjoyed the location.
Two issues: the hot water supply was kicked off due to power outage. It took us a "hot" minute to figure it out. But once it was on it worked great, plenty of hot water for all. The hot water unit itself sounded like a freight train, very loud for the guest in the basement. The only other issue less than satisfaction was the grill. The burners were rusted out. Please replace the grill before the guest arrive~!
