Response from the host was very fast in resolving a couple issues! Really, they were great! The location was awesome! We were right in town in a quiet neighborhood. We appreciated the picnic table outside and the main living area was spacious. However, this place was not clean. There were many stains on the dining chairs and living room couches. We had to clean the refrigerator. A sheet was stained. The grill was dirty, as was the kitchen table. The shades in the very cramped room with 2 beds still let a lot of light in. The streetlights outside were letting light in. We bought coat hangers because there were none, along with a metal colander so we could steam veggies. It was lacking a blender and there were not many forks. Most of the mattresses were lumpy. This could be an awesome place if a few missing pieces were added and the place was deep cleaned.
Spacious rental that can accommodate many. However, bugs and spider webs all over the living room. Door combination was the same for both units A and B, which is unsafe in my opinion. Accidently went into the wrong one when we arrived and it had other guests inside. Front door you could see daylight around, and the deadbolt did not seem like it was securing anything. Rugs and couches needing to be steamed cleaned. Spots all over them. We all felt dirty when sitting on the couches. Silverware just thrown in the draw even though there was an organizer for it. Disappointed that they charge 40 to arrive early, so we did not which gave them plenty of time to clean. Not sure who cleans for them, but may want to hire someone else. I do have pictures but did not upload them. Communication was great.
Perfect location to get around downtown Watkins Glen and to travel to local attractions. Walkable to the Watkins Glen gorge entrance. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. Host was vey communicative.
This house is in a great location to the state park and to town. You can walk to everything in town and to the park if you wanted to. I would stay here again if we are ever in Watkins Glen again. I gave it an overall rating of a 4 (instead of a 5) because there are a few small things they could do to improve the stay. For example, adding a shower curtain, and not just a thin shower curtain liner. Or add a hand towel hanger in the bathroom, instead of just having to lay the hand towel on the bathroom counter. I know these are small things, but when you are already tight on space in the bathroom, I think it would make a positive difference. Also, I think we may have been the first group to stay there for the summer season and there were quite a bit of spider webs in corners, under furniture, and things like that. I ended up vacuuming the whole house just to make sure it was as clean as possible. The house was as pictured, and the extra beds would be good for a larger group. The location was GREAT and I would stay there again if ever in Watkins Glen again.
The place is perfectly located within walking distance to town and the Watkin Glen state park. The unit is open and modern, great for our group to gather together. The small issue we had was the heat. It got cold at night and there was one heating unit in the living room, space heaters were provided for the bedrooms. It took a while to warm up the place.But overall, it was a nice stay.
Property is in a great location. The place could use some updates. A new coffee pot and a few updated pots and pans would be a nice addition for the kitchen. Overall the place was comfortable for our family trip.
The house is a grat location, within walking distance to town. The place had everything we needed, however there was a musty smell when you enter. A can of deodorizer is needed, and worked well. The television in the bedroom didnt work and the one in the living room only worked the first day. We wanted to use them music. I left a message with the nuber provided but never got a response.I would stay there again.
Host was very attentive and communicative from the start making things super easy. All instructions clear. House has great space, very convenient and comfortable. Would stay there again. Thank you.
Perfect location for everything we needed! Short walk to all that Watkins Glen has to offer--State Park for hiking, Restaurants/Bars, Harbor, Shopping. We took advantage of some Winery/Brewery tours and felt perfectly comfortable leaving or car parked at the home. We had a little glitch that called for a maintenance fix, but the attentiveness was immediate and did not cause any interruptions to our plans. All in all a great stay. We would definitely stay again, and recommend to others!
This property was everything and more for our sonâs Cornell graduation weekend. Very clean and roomy for my family of six. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals throughout our stay. Courtney was always helpful with any questions and very quick to respond. The town of Watkins Glen was very welcoming and friendly. Enjoyed walking to Tobeyâs for doughnuts( delicious), Pudgies for pizzas (delicious) and Ben & Jerryâs for late evening ice cream (delicious)! Overall, very pleased and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
This house is exactly as writtenâŠperfect for large group with plenty of super comfortable seating and sleeping. Location is so convenient to State park, lake activities and restaurant/bars. Park your car and forget about it. Everything thoroughly clean and in great shape. A great find!
