Beautiful home, delicious food, accommodating host, and awesome atmosphere. Location prime for visiting downtown. Will definitely visit and stay again!
The hosts were excellent, great food, and it is a beautiful property. We own the travel site SeeNewYorkWithUs.com and we stay in a lot of nice places and this property was superb!
The location, of course, makes it a standout, as well as the attention to detail. The decor is thoughtful--beautiful and welcoming. Anna and Renee were warm and attentive innkeepers. And COVID regulations were very good. I stayed in room #9, which was fully outfitted in Mackenzie Child. It had a lake view and was quite cozy and comfortable. I would like to return in a warmer season to better experience the lake. If I had to name one negative, it's that the water pressure was pretty weak in the...
Property is definately like no where else I have stayed. Loved the friendly staff, the lobby area and the deck area. Rooms are "dorm size" but efficient for a few nights stay!
We have stayed here often, and what we like most is that it's very homey, and we feel at home. It's a beautiful property, and the owners/hosts are always available if there are any issues.
It's also very clean, and it has everything we need.
We will continue to stay there!
Michelle the innkeeper took good care of us when we visited the area. Great breakfasts! Nice location near the wineries, waterfalls and to visit Cornell University.
The property was beautiful. We loved the chalet that we stayed in, super comfy bed, beautiful views, no matter which one you stay in. Staff was very kind, helping us park our trailer, and being accommodating. Would highly recommend this little secret in Watkins Glen.
