The place was very nice and clean. There was a slight sulfer smell to the water possible from a well but other than that it was a great place to stay for the weekend

Our stay

The house was very welcoming and comfortable. No tv’s for the younger children so we had to keep them busy with games.

Unfortunately, due to weather I am sure and with it being well water we could not shower or run the sinks. The over whelming smell of the sulfur was rotten eggs overload. We had to air out the house and use bottled water to brush our teeth. Property itself was beautiful and location was perfect.

Clean, quiet, isolated, cozy

Went w/ family. House seemed newly renovated (basically everything inside seemed new; house is freshly painted inside.) Comfy beds.House was cozy and warm, a bit less than 10 min from Watkins Glen. Owners were easy to deal with.No Wifi or TV, but we didn't want to watch TV and AT&T seemed to work fine. If we were in area again, would definitely return.

House smelled super clean upon arrival. Appliances looked brand new.Sheets were soft and towels too. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere inside and out. Nice view at night, thanks for the wood supply. More basic cooking tools would be helpful… broiler pan, baking sheets, casserole dishes, wine glasses. Having tin foil and plastic wrap would be good. Light on garage was very bright at night and did make it difficult to see the stars.

We very much enjoyed our stay, the host was very responsive and helpful, we thought the location was very good, close to the main streets in Watkins Glen, the town had everything we needed, including restaurant's, boat rentals, grocery. The house has most essentials in the kitchen needed for our stay. The bedrooms upstairs were large, and the beds were comfortable. No ice maker in refrigerator, we had to make some ice runs. The area around the house was all farm country area, which was nice and quiet, for enjoying our evenings and mornings outside seating area for several people. The back yard was large and had a great fire pit, which we used every night while staying at the house. The host was nice to have firewood and starter logs on premise. there were plenty of outdoor chairs for sitting around the fire pit at night. the host does mention the odor of the water for inside use in the sinks and shower, so be aware of the sulfur smell when using, this was not something we were used to, therefore somewhat unappealing especially while showering.
