Great place to stay with our dogs. Everything that you might want was in the place, lots of towels, coffee, even dog bowls! A short walk to lots of downtown restaurants and an easy jumping off point to drive around the lake, would highly recommend!

This VRBO was great for us. Everything that we needed (and many things that we didn't need) was supplied. The bed was very comfortable. The owner is a great man who takes great pride in his community and his properties. The location is great if you can handle a hill, and it wasn't a challenge for us, and it within walking distance to town, and we loved walking to nearby restaurants and bars. Even the visitor's center was walkable. There was live entertainment in the square one evening (we walked there ;-). If you are looking for somewhere luxurious, this isn't the place for you, but it is a lovely historical home that has today's amenities (washer/dryer, air conditioning, flat screen TV, etc.). The owners have done a great job at making this old home with great character a great place for a respite from our crazy busy lives.

The apartment is so cute and cozy. Close to everything making it easy to quickly pop in for a change of clothes or to drop of purchases. Had my breakfast on the porch and started my day with a view of the lake. Don't worry if you forgot something - the hosts have thought of everything providing so many little comfort items. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the area!!

We really enjoyed staying in this little home. It is within walking distance of downtown Watkins Glen so it is very easy to walk to if you choose to do so. The inside was very clean and well kept. We liked the close proximity to various winerys and restaurants. It made it very easy to stop back and drop off our goodies we collected throughout the days we were there.

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend in July 2023 in the upstairs front apartment. Caitlin's check-in instructions were clear and concise. The apartment was well appointed so we could cook breakfast each morning and also had a lot of thoughtful touches like extra toiletries and over the counter medicines. It was close enough for us to walk into town for dinner and not have to worry about parking. Two things to note for future travelers: 1) if you are a light sleeper, you will be able to hear the traffic coming in and out of Watkins Glen even over the hum of the window air conditioners; and 2) there is very little sink space in the bathroom to lay out toiletries which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here and would recommend Caitlin's apartment to others.

It’s difficult to summarize all the wonderful amenities this property has to offer in so few words without boring you, but this was a great location and place to stay. Caitlin and her mom Pam were available, helpful, and invested in making our stay perfect. There was not one thing that we could have needed during this stay that they didn’t provide… except maybe foot massages after our days of adventures!
Every kitchen, bathroom, and first aid item you could possibly imagine was provided. It was so clean and quaint. It is much bigger and cuter than the photos show, imo. There are two private decks to enjoy and see the lake from!
Caitlin has brochures describing local attractions but the list of personal favorites with descriptions was really nice.
I don’t think you could find a better location from which to walk throughout the town to visit many shops and restaurants and Watkins Glen State Park.
This was a super, well-appointed home in a great location, owned by wonderful people.

Perfect location and everything my adult daughters and I needed to enjoy the hikes, wineries, restaurants, and water at Watkins Glen. Caitlin’s VRBO was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!!!

We came for two nights to explore the state park and Watkins Glen. The accommodations met our needs, and within waking distance to everything (lots of hills though). The apartment was clean and provided many little extras that were appreciated (coffee, condiments etc).

My husband and I stayed two nights here and absolutely loved it. It was a short stay, but because of the awesome location we got to do a lot without having to travel far. We walked into town and to Watkins Glen park. A short drive to wineries. This host keeps a cute cozy place. Definitely would stay here again.

I visited this property on a solo adventure with my little dog Ruby. The stay could not have been more accommodating, Caitlin truly thought of everything. Also, the convenience of the location to the town, lake, and state park was unmatched. I truly had a wonderfully relaxing time.

This property was as advertised. Communication with the host was easy. The view of the lake from the deck was very pretty. While a short walkable distance from the town's main street and to the state park entrance, the walk is up/down a big hill.

Watkins Glen Retreat
We had a really nice long weekend here. The rental apartment was spotlessly clean, had all the things you need for a comfortable stay and was in the perfect location for the town of Watkins Glen and all of the wineries and breweries on Seneca lake.

The location of this property was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere we needed to go in a couple of minutes. The host was very kind and easy to reach. Would definitely stay at this property if I ever return to the finger lakes

Perfect Little Apartment!
My wife and I went up to Watkins Glen with our 10 and 12 year old boys for a Ferrari Race Weekend. Perfect location for everything we wanted to do in town. Within walking distance of the whole town and Seneca Lake. Had everything you need provided including linens and all paper products which is a rarity! Dryer vents into apartment so recommend not running it while you’re there in the summer, as the window units cannot keep up. Great communication and instructions for everything you need! Would absolutely stay again. Thanks Caitlin!

Some needed repairs
Nice people but apartment needs repairs. Appliances are propped up on wood, insulation around dishwasher highly visible and the property outside needs cleaned up. Overpriced.
