The yard around the house is securely fenced and our dog absolutely loved exploring. The cedar hot tub on the deck was very relaxing, and the deck has a gate that can be closed when you don't want your dog to have access to the yard. Katya was also very friendly and responsive and provided plenty of helpful information for our stay. We would definitely come back! ##### Brad and Nicole Z.

The place is gorgeous and unique. The house has big beautiful windows overlooking a gorgeous view. Incredible cedar hot tub overlooking the mountains. 10 minute drive to Watkins Glen which is a great town with lots to do and some of the best hiking we’ve experienced. The property is fenced in and so our dog had as good of a time as we did. The host was the friendliest, most accommodating we have had. Absolutely would recommend and can’t wait to get back to Watkins Glen. ##### Matt B.

Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephanie S. 14 Aug 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Watkins Glen Review When we arrived at the property we were surprised by the condition of the driveway...potentially damaging cracks if not careful. Once in the house we were disappointed to find a refrigerator that was not very clean and had expired food in it. There was little room for us to put our groceries in it after we cleaned it. Thankfully we came with cleaning supplies. We also had to dispose of a bag of rice when we saw bugs crawling around in it. While looking around we also found a drawer full of cleaned eggshells....that was surprising. There was quite a bit of dust in the house especially on the fans in the bathrooms and light fixtures. We were warned of the lack of stability of the deck railing but the floor boards could be quite dangerous...there are some cracks in the wood. If you plan on enjoying the deck at night bring flashlights there is little to no light outdoors. Overall we had an enjoyable weekend because we were in good company not because of the property which is a shame. If we paid that much money for a hotel we would have checked out and asked for a refund. ##### Stephanie S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter T., Altamont, NY 2 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Retreat Perfect place for calming your soul. Lots of hiking available or travel to nearby towns for a variety of things to do. Corning glass museum is a great trip and you can make your own glass piece. Evenings are great for family time, food, games and relaxing in the hot tub. If your looking for a "hotel" like atmosphere this place is not for you. Its a unique home in the quiet of the woods where you can rest your soul from the craziness of the world. ##### Peter T.

Trails are close as well as the wineries. I have lung issues with chemicals but had no problem sitting in the hot tub. It’s just a perfect place to unwind and spend family time together. The games are fun. I just can’t say enough good about the place and I would definitely go back ##### Shelley S.

My 5 friends and I came for 3 nights on Columbus day weekend. The house exceeded our expectations. It was lovingly decorated, had stunning views of the hills, and was very comfortable. The house was located very close to wineries, parks, lakes and Farm Sanctuary. The cedar hot tub was wonderful! The smell of the cedar was so therapeutic, and the star gazing excellent! We came with our 3 tiny dogs too. They loved having a fenced in yard to run and play! All in all it was a great weekend for everyone and we can't wait to go back! While we never met Katya she was always available by phone if we had any questions. Thank you Katya for allowing us to share your little piece of paradise! ##### Kerry M.

We already can't wait to go back. Clean, beautiful, comfortable, peaceful, and the hot tub was a great hit. We visited the Farm Sanctuary, swam in the falls at Treman State Park (SO much fun), hiked the gorge, took our daughter to Cornell for a tour, and ate lots and lots of yummy vegan food; perfect area for vegans. The vegan hoagie at Glen Mountain Market was a favorite. Can't recommend this place enough. It was perfect for our family of 6. ##### Bryn N.

It's a 45 minute drive from Ithaca. It was really great to have place for everyone to stay together. The property was very clean and well-equipped, and the hot-tub to relax in after the busy days on campus was very welcome. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this home if you are travelling in the area. ##### 8ffxg7N1PUEKVEIsQtD+XeVnZAqpJaly1fveP4zPfnDJJCrGzmtVtzZNBSwOBM8d 8.

The hot tub was the perfect end to our cold days and was just lovely under the stars. We did a lot of cooking and baking (with a couple supplies from the TOPS supermarket which was super close, and also Greenstar in Ithaca--worth the drive-- to get a couple things for some vegan cuisine); the fully equipped kitchen was a great plus since we were not able to bring all the supplies we needed. We watched a couple DVDs from your collection which were very enjoyable on the projector screen in the cozy living room. Scrabble and checkers also let us have a little board game fun which was great! My boyfriend's favorite part about the house was probably the heated floor tiles! Such a great touch for those chilly mornings. We loved your collection of brochures and information, which gave us a heads up to go to the Glen Mountain Market where my boyfriend got a tasty vegan sandwich for lunch one day. The town was great, we loved the openness of everything. Although the weather was a bit cold and the ground snowy we still did some site seeing (the Falls in downtown were beautiful!), and even went hiking on the trails at the Watkins Glen State Park. We definitely want to book a time for the summer to do some more adventuring and relaxing if able to, as the house was the perfect place for this. Thank you and kind regards on letting us stay here! ##### Hannah S.

We enjoyed waking up to the snow covered lawn and trees! What a beautiful view! The hot tub on the deck was amazing! What a great location for our Deck the Halls weekend. Having your neighbor, Rachel, cook for us was the perfect ending to our day out. The food was delicious--we recommend her to anyone! Thanks so much! ##### Leann Z.

That was the first sign that I knew it was a good idea to pick this place. There are so many to pick from. Loved the cedar hot tub. Very unique, although not a lake side property, a gorgeous view from the hot tub, unique architecture and privacy more than made up for it. Also, very close to Watkins glen, which was definite worth visiting! Thanks again for a wonderful vacation. ##### Liang-tso (Paul) T.

We chose this house because it looked spacious and clean, and it turned out to be a great decision for even more reasons! The owner of the house was very responsive and helpful. The house was well maintained, fully stocked with everything we needed, and very homey. We used the grill, the hot tub, and sat on the porch to star-gaze -- all things we couldn't readily do in the city. It was also very secluded and quiet. Overall, it was a big reason for a great weekend getaway! If I ever come back to the area, I'd definitely stay here again. ##### Victoria C.

Our stay was during the week between Christmas and New Years. Everything listed about this stay was excellent. It was actually better than anticipated. It was clean and very well maintained. There were 8 of us in our group and the huge living room-dining room-kitchen was VERY accommodating. Thank you soooo much Katya for having the game Scategories, it was the one game my daughter was hoping someone would have and no one in our group brought and then I saw it with all the other games!!....what a nice surprise. The wrap around deck and the view from it was fantastic. Our favorite part was the hot-tub, there were 4 of us that got in and with the temp outside being around 17 degrees it was great!! Katya was very helpful in answering all our questions and I was impressed with how well and timely she was in conversing via email. I would highly recommend this stay and have already given out the information to a couple of our friends. I would love to come back for another stay. ##### fmdp1z4xMvY1DRpFMeCxOacfzF27wpY73eOZzyPp2AKRP9DDn5UpfgjwdccMzdnXV4Lf29n5mCJytJxt/kNmE4pUJ1WXNGKxH1e/ f.

Even though the weekend was cold and rainy we had a great time with friends. The place was very comfortable for our group of six adults and three children! Very open floor plan and plenty of space! We enjoyed the local wine in the evenings while sitting in the hot tub on the deck with beautiful views. My children enjoyed the games at the house as well as the movie projector. The owner was very pleasant and made sure with our late arrival that the futons in the living room were set up for us. We can't wait to plan our next trip! You must check out this place if you are planning on staying in this area! Very well done! ##### adrianne t.

Stayed in July for 3 days with my daughter and several friends while attending a high performance driving school at Watkins Glen. The location was convenient, quiet, and rural. The house is stunning inside and out, with a spectacular view toward Seneca Lake. Excellent and roomy kitchen well-stocked with supplies. Beautiful wrap-around deck with new redwood hot tub, which we took advantage of. By far the best vacation rental I've ever stayed in..
