Cottage vacation rentals in Watkins Glen

This location is beautiful! Right on the lake. Easy to go down the stairs to the water. Randall was an excellent host and very responsive. The home is lovely and well kept. We had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect! We used the canoe and kayaks and had a wonderful time on the lake. We would most definitely rent this again and we’ll keep it on our list! Highly recommend!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Alycia's home. The house is right on the lake, peaceful, quiet with beautiful views! Very well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. We explored Geneva, Watkins Glen and Penn Yan. Hiked the Gorge Trail and visited Seneca Falls. Both were amazing! Our host Alycia was very helpful, responsive and went above and beyond. We highly recommend this house for small groups and families and hope to return someday.

Peppermint Cottage was everything we hoped it would be! The scent of peppermint welcomed us upon our arrival. The fireplace and wide-plank floors created a perfect ambiance as we enjoyed the comfortable, cozy living room. The beds were comfy and the sheets crisp and clean. We enjoyed our stay so much that we hope to visit again someday.

Thank you for our wonderful stay this weekend. Your place is the quintessential lake cottage. Everything we needed was supplied and at our fingertips, without being overrun with “stuff.” Well-maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was a cool, rainy weekend and we took full advantage of the bedroom fireplaces and extra blankets! Would love to come back to enjoy summer-time at your place. Thank you!

What a beautiful property right on the lake! We had such a lovely time, the place is well equipped with anything you might need and is very close to lots of restaurants, breweries, and wineries. We can’t wait to come back, highly recommend!

The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Fountainbleu Inn (just a short walk to venue). Also, the location next to lake was wonderful. We had plenty of bedrooms with linens/towels and extras like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, dish soap etc was very nice. The kitchen had what we needed to cook for 10+ people, except crock pot and griddle (which we brought from home). We enjoyed the hot tub and used the propane grill on the large deck. The owner stays close by and was in communication often.

Great cozy cottage on the Keuka Lake. Garrett was a great host and the house was very comfortable for my family of 4. Got to enjoy taking our paddle board on the lake, sit by the fire pit during sunset and enjoy the hot tub after a cold rainy hike at Watkins Glen gorge.

We loved our stay! The house itself is nice, but we spent most of our time outside on the deck, in the hot tub, or on the lake. It was a little cold when we visited, but it was still nice to be able to use the paddle board/kayaks and explore the lake & I imagine it would be much better in the warmer months. There isn’t much of a town, which means limited options for food nearby, but it was definitely worth the limited options for the peace we felt there!

We had a terrific stay! Phillip was proactive and responsive. Check-in and check-out were easy . There were personal touches, snacks and wine awaiting us upon arrival! The house is beautifully located on the lake with great sunrises and views. Close to Hammondsport and many great wineries. Highly recommend!

we had a great vacation - my husband and 2 kids. we enjoyed the space and had everything we needed. we enjoyed being able to walk down to the lake. we sat on the deck, played games at the kitchen eat in counter. watched TV and relaxed/slept on extremely comfortable beds. it was a very quiet location even surrounded by other houses. it was close by to many of our trip highlights including the sandy bottom park, Naples pizza, red cat winery, lynnie lous ice cream and the Corning museum. would recommend this place to future families looking for a place to stay.

Jesse’s place was the perfect cozy-with-a-view getaway. Ideal location, relaxing, well-designed and stocked. Jesse was eager to offer suggestions and very responsive. Hope to visit again!

Very clean, beautiful home. Perfect weekend getaway. Loved bringing our little fur baby. Jessie has EVERYTHING you could possibly need in the home! EVERYTHING!! Will definitely stay with her in the future. Short drive to many wineries & breweries. We enjoyed the little bar/restaurant at the bottom of the hill. Walked there every night with our dog for a friendly end to a busy day. Highly recommend!!!

My husband and I had a perfect stay for our anniversary weekend! the lakeside cottage was perfect and peaceful with so many thoughtful amenities. everything was very clean and organized. it is a perfect location to many wineries, breweries and hiking locations. by far my favorite stay in the finger lakes!

We were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary and family graduations! This location was close to family, nostalgic in that we used to have family reunions on the lake, and very relaxing and comfortable. Aside from the unseasonably cold weather, it was nice to explore the town, enjoy delicious food and enjoy scenic sunsets on the lake! Would love to return with family in the future! Brian and Melissa were very responsive and we didn't have any issues!

We loved the cabin spent Mothers Day weekend with my family and Grandkids...we definitely would stay again the view is beautiful and the sunset everything meant all our needs

Really enjoyed our stay! My friend and I and our two dogs were looking for a quiet, cozy spot to relax and do some hiking, and we got that and then some! Instructions were very clear, and it was easy to find the cottage. Everything was as pictured, huge yard for the dogs (big selling point for us) and had everything we needed inside for a few days. Charming decor, a lovely deck with chairs to watch birds (humming birds were very active!) and listen to the creek. Bedrooms were cozy and comfortable, and the hosts even provided extra linens and towels for the dogs. Raylene came to greet us at check in and gave us pointers on the quirks of the house, as well as some local recommendations of things to do. The weather was cool and a little wet so be sure to have bug repellant! But it was the perfect temp for the dogs. Loved that the road leads into a state forest, that was a nice treat! Overall would recommend staying, especially with pets. Could have easily spent a week here!

Beautiful lake Airbnb. Couldn't have a better weekend. Plenty of space to spread out!

We had a great stay at this quaint, cozy cottage on beautiful Lake Seneca!

If you are looking for a place to disconnect and unwind from the busy world, this is the place. Beautiful, serene, relaxing. The Jen (host) is kind, sweet, and went out of her way to make welcome us and make us feel at home. would highly recommend!!

We had a great stay at this cozy cottage. We were four adults and found it very comfortable - plenty of space and everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is good - lots of hiking trails and lakes within a short driving distance. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect little house. Everything was spotless. Kitchen and bathroom amenities were great. Wish the weather were nicer so that we could have sat outside. Great location halfway between Keuka and Seneca; easy drive to Penn Yan, Watkins Glen, Geneva, or Hammondsport. We would not hesitate to recommend!

Wow - what a fantastic lakeside retreat! There must be 6 different places to sit/gather outside - the fire table was especially nice for sipping some Riesling on a chilly night. Well equipped kitchen, and lots of amenities (including kayaks if so inclined). Very quiet surroundings (we were there during the week-end, too), but you have to watch out for the seagulls - they like to hang out on the deck. Great location is within 1/2 hour of many excellent wineries and restaurants. Would definitely return here the next time we are in FLX!

My bf & I travel often. This was the NICEST PLACE we’ve stayed via Airbnb. The cottage was spacious & the view was incredible! The beds are so comfortable & the place was immaculate. We spent almost our entire trip on the deck or on the dock. The fishing was INCREDIBLE! Kayaks are fun too! We hiked Watkins Glen. From the grocery stores, wineries, nautical activities & everything in between is all within 15mins or less from the cottage. The overall experience was a trip we’ll never forget. Waneta Lake is definitely the hidden gem of the Finger Lakes! You’re so close to all the other lakes too! I highly recommend this place! Worth EVERY PENNY! & cmon ppl it’s dirt cheap for waterfront! I’ve paid $550 or better a night at other places. Stephanie was so easy to work with. Her responses to my questions were prompt. Her & Kevin go above & beyond as Hosts! We loved it so much that we tried to book it again at the end of the month but it’s booked. We will 100% be back asap! Ty for everything!?

The cottage is exactly as described and looked just like the pictures which is not always the case. We loved having coffee while listening to the birds and enjoying the view of the lake. On the days it rained it was a peaceful and quiet retreat to relax and read or watch a movie. Kevin gave us lots of great recommendations for restaurants, hiking, breweries, and wineries. We recommend Watkins Glen State Park for hiking and Grist Iron Brewing for food, music, and beer. Both Kevin and Stephanie were friendly and responsive to our needs. Our time on the lake was really special and we would stay at the cottage again.
