The property is a great home base for accessing Watkins Glen and the Seneca Lake wine trail. It was clean and comfortable for our family, and the hot tub was a nice bonus after a day of hiking. Would definitely recommend this place for exploring the area.

This place is wonderful! A private, quiet spot with a beautiful view, the house is clean and cozy, with modern appliances and a stocked kitchen. The porch has a great view, with comfy chairs and a grill nearby. And there's a hot tub! Great way to start and end the day.
The owners are awesome. Great to deal with, very helpful, real fast response to questions, tons of local knowledge. They've created a mowed path on the back of the property that leads to the Catharine Valley Trail which is a beautiful walk. Super nice people.
If you're planning a Finger Lakes vacation this is the place to stay! It's quiet, peaceful, private, yet close to lots of great wineries, parks, and food. Tops Market is a full grocery store not 5 minutes from the house, so you can get what you need quick and easy. And you'll pass a waterfall on the way. The Carrolls are great hosts, they'll make your stay special. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

Place was just as described, beautiful and super clean! Kitchen has everything you need to cook meals! Hot tub is the perfect ending each night to relax and help sore muscles from hiking. Place is so convenient to town, grocery store and Seneca Lake. Enjoyed staying here and would rent again!

The house was great! Well stocked. Unfortunately, there was a birds nest in the grill, so we decided not to use that. That's what happens when you're in nature though! The location of the house was perfect for our itinerary. It was just a short drive to Watkins Glen State Park. The bicycle path near the house was great as well! It's a wonderful area! Rick and Rebecca were great with communication during our 3 night stay as well. The washer and dryer were a lovely added bonus.

My husband, adult daughter and her friend stayed at the Guesthouse for 3 nights. We were traveling to see the eclipse. The Guesthouseat the Woodlands appealed to us because of it's proximity to nice places to hike. The Guesthouse was perfect for the 4 of us. It was very clean, very well equipped and very comfortably outfitted with cozy living room furnitureThe beds were very comfortable as well.
It was too chilly to spend much time sitting on the lovely porch but we did make use of the hot tub, which was great! The Guesthouse has a pathway that links to the local trail system which made it very easy, and very safe to walk into town to view the falls and/ or get a bite to eat.
We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others!

The property felt like home from the minute we arrived to the unfortunate task of having to leave. My wife and I loved the location, so close to town and attractions but far enough away to only hear the sounds of nature.

Two friends and myself celebrated my 60th birthday. This clean, well maintained, darling place. Offered a central area to travel by car to many out lying places to visit. In our three night stay. We visited the Corning Museum, ate at the famous Moosewood restaurant. Had a class in cooking at The NY Kitchen, spa day at Rasaspa, hiked some local falls, did wine tastings. We came back for the evenings to a camp fire and soak in the hot tub. Hanging outside on the front porch listening to the rain in the crisp air of fall. A very memorable time indeed.
Thank you for creating such a haven. ❤️

My husband, friends, and I enjoyed this cozy little house 8/3-8/7/23. Perfect for two couples. We loved that the bedrooms are located at each end of the house. Kitchen was well stocked as we cooked all breakfasts and two dinners. My favorite spot was the front porch. Perfect place for coffee in the morning and listening to nature. Beyond peaceful. Location was perfect. Close to everything but far enough away from the business of Watkins Glen. Description of house was spot on. If you stay here you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you,

This property was perfect for 2 couples. Features included split floor plan, modern, comfortable furnishings, well-appointed kitchen, and location close to Watkins Glen. The 6-person hot tub was a great bonus, which we really enjoyed after some great hikes in the region.

This property was clean, clean, clean when we arrived! And so very well outfitted. Everything we needed was available inside and outside the house. The beds were very comfortable and the master bathroom in particular is gorgeous! Wonderful water pressure in the showers, too. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay near Watkins Glen if we'd tried. Highly recommend!

The place was exactly the way it was shown on VRBO website and very clean. Quiet neighborhood with a family of deer that came to visit in the morning. Close to restaurants and attractions. The owner has a book on the kitchen counter with all sorts of brochures for family jaunts and wine tour for the adults. The scenic waterfalls trail at Watkins State Park is spectacular.

We had a great stay for our first trip to the area. The house was exceptionally clean and perfect for our family of four. The front porch was relaxing in the morning for that first cup of coffee and at night with a glass of wine as the sun sets. The house had very nice amenities and having a hot tub was a bonus. The location was convenient to Watkins Glen State Park and other hiking areas along with a cute downtown. We definitely recommend staying here and hope to come again.

The pictures really don't do it justice because everything is pristine and perfect. It is very clean and everything looks brand new. Stocked with everything we needed. Enjoyed having the bedrooms and bathrooms at opposite ends of the house. It was so close to everything. Loved being away from the hustle and bustle. Was really more than we had expected

Very welcoming house right outside of town and secluded from most others around. Property relatively had everything we needed to enjoy a great stay and take the worry away.
We had a few minor quick issues that were resolved in a matter of minutes via contacting the property owner.

Great little house in a quiet, lovely location. The place was immaculate, with comfortable furnishings and lots of nice small touches. The bathrooms were especially nice, and with excellent water pressure, compared to most rental properties. Photos are accurate, but the house is even nicer than it appears in them. Highly recommended.

I genuinely enjoyed this property! Everything was perfect! The location was amazing, it was so close to shops and restaurants, but when you're there you feel like you are away from it all!!! The setting is beautiful and the house is well stocked and very comfortable! I spent a lot of time visiting State Parks and hiking! The scenery in this area is gorgeous! I will definitely be back!

Very nice place, well equipped. Direct access to the Catherine valley trail (rails-to-trails), and only a few minutes away from Watkins Glen State Park.
Village of Montour Falls is quaint, with several restaurants and a micro-brewery. Home of Shequaga Falls, which is featured on the Hallmark channel
Waterfalls are best in spring+fall, or after a good rain.

Very nice!
Was perfect for our 5 day stay in the area for the June IMSA weekend at the track. AC/dehumidifiers are a bit loud and a part of the house was a little harder to cool, but that did not affect our stay. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to be away from the crowd yet near to everything!
