House vacation rentals in Watkins Glen

Lisa and Will greeted us with smiles, knowledge and history of their property! They were very informative and friendly, offered us a free growler from their winery! Beautiful yard wonderful hiking trails down to Hemlock lake hot tub was just what we needed , peaceful private and relaxing!

I stayed here with my family for 3 nights. We were in the area for a concert at CMAC, which was about 20 minutes away. Sondra’s place was perfect! It was serene and peaceful with the creek out front. We had many bird and deer visitors. The hot tub was so fun and we spent most evenings grilling on the deck. There are beautiful wineries and trails nearby (the RMSC nature center is fantastic!). We also did a campus tour to SUNY Geneseo when we were up (again only about 20 mins away!) I hope to be back in the area again soon and would book with Sondra again in a heartbeat! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Booked this place last minute as the hotel I had previously booked fell through. Super responsive host and the place was amazing. Definitely going to come back in the fall/winter!

My family and I needed a quick last minute stay and Tammy made us feel right at home! Great communication & responds instantly which is always a plus. Hope to stay here again sometime in the near future!

This was a great weekend getaway. Beautiful location, great amenities. Unfortunately it rained the weekend so we couldn’t enjoy the beautiful deck or fire pit. Will book again

This little lake house is exactly as described and very convenient to both the lake and the town of Canandaigua. Comfy king bed and a good view. The host will warn you the driveway is steep and they mean it, just a heads up if you have a car with low clearance. Everything was very tidy.

Catherine is a wonderful host. Her house is very cozy with beautiful view . There is a very nice Amish supermarket 15 minutes by her place. The house is super clean and very comfy beds. Most hikes were about 30 to minutes drive. It’s a beautiful and very peaceful place. Highly recommended

Spacious and clean home. Response shot before during and after stay. Amazing fishing on the lake

What a wonderful 4-day stay in a perfect cottage for my 3 middle aged daughters and me on our “girls’ trip!” The house had everything we needed and was perfectly located for our visits to wineries, breweries, Watkins Glen State Park, Ithaca, and many other places in the Finger Lakes region. We loved our evenings by the fire pit with the stunning lake view and beautiful sunsets. The comfortable seating on the covered porch made our one rainy evening enjoyable, and we continued to have fun in the sturdily built game room which became our “safe place” during an unexpected tornado warning! Jaci’s communication was great, and we highly recommend staying at this lovely cottage!

Do not hesitate to book this little piece of heaven! We stayed a full week and I didn’t want to leave. The deck and pier provide gorgeous views right on the lake. We spent many, many hours outside enjoying the beauty and peacefulness. Tips: As described, be sure to bring in plenty of drinking water. We drank lots of coffee in the mornings, just sitting on that gorgeous deck. If the stairs make you nervous, try the futon. It was quite comfortable, especially turned 90 degrees. Try to use the back door sparingly (unless you have to lock up). Lots of mosquitoes back there! We mostly used the door that faces the lake. We were relieved to find sunblock and bug spray there. We had forgotten those. You’ll definitely need them. Check out The Windmill (15 min) shops. Also highly recommend Hermann J Wiemer winery just 5 min up the road. Great tasting experience. Make a reservation first on their website.

This home was perfect in every way, from location to the home itself. Bradley was truly one of the best hosts I've ever dealt with. I highly recommend this home.

Karen and George’s home was the perfect Finger Lakes getaway. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was super close to some of the best wineries, and they were just a text away—friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again! 10/10!

From booking to checkout, Cheryl was excellent to deal with as a host. Everything was clearly explained to make our stay fantastic. The home was better than advertised on the web and the nicest home we have stayed in during our many visits to the Finger Lakes. All amenities as described with tremendous views of Seneca Lake from inside and outside the home. Very close to many places to hike, shop and visit wineries/breweries. Highly recommend this home and host!

This was our second time staying. We just adore this place! On this visit, the flowers were all in bloom. Morning coffee on the glider outside with all the birds is perfection. Inside, the home was clean, tidy and way more spacious than you think from the outside. Very comfortable. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely book here.

We had a fabulous experience! The house is beautiful with really charming art and decorations throughout the house. The outside space is gorgeous and we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee outside on the deck looking at the lake and kayaking in the afternoon! Valarie was very responsive and provided clear instructions and information. We were visiting for a wedding at the Fountainbleu Inn and it was so easy to walk to the venue!

Really nice home, extremely well equipped, spacious, comfortable, sparkling clean. Easy check-in, responsive hosts. Didn’t get to enjoy back deck/grill on rainy weekend, but it looks like a great place to hang out. Bring your own shampoo.

This place was the perfect getaway. If you are looking for a place to stay and enjoy the wineries this is the place. Highly recommended. Would definitely come back if we come down this way again!

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Dylan’s with 3 others for 3 days and it was a beautiful, clean home. We had no issues with anything . Dylan responded to us no problem, the house looked even more beautiful than the pictures, the pool was a good temperature, the hot tub was our favorite thing in the backyard. We used the fireplace and it was really nice as well as the grill, we loved making food on there too. Overall it was an amazing experience Dylan was great with communication and hospitality. I would definitely book with him again.

Generously stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Unheated pool was a little too chilly the beginning of June, but great back yard space for grilling and visiting. A lounge chair with an adjustable back for reading would make it even more amazing. Loved that I could go for a walk on quiet country roads in the morning. Thank you Traci for all the extra's, your home worked out perfectly for us and we'll be back!

Excellent home. It’s a very private location at the end of a quiet 4 home street. Won’t see or hear the neighbors at all. Easy drive to Ithaca, great hiking, local farms, and Watkins Glen. The pool is great, secluded and in all afternoon sun. Great for relaxing. Fire pit has all you need - dry firewood, Fire starters, s’mores kit, and sticks. Corn hole too. The house is very comfortable, clean, and well designed. If you are taller than 6’5, the master bathroom ceiling might be slightly low for you but the bathroom in the main level would be fine. Definitely recommend this gem

This was a terrific stay. The hosts communication from beginning to end was as good as can be expected. The home was cozy and well appointed. The property was beautiful and peaceful. 5 stars, will recommend and return again. Thank you!

Neil's place was the perfect spot for a family reunion. The house was located within walking distance of local restaurants and shops (or a very short drive) and had a nature walking trail just down the street. Neil clearly put great care into making the home comfortable for guests. It was well stocked and appointed. When we cooked dinner our last evening, there were sufficient plates and cooking supplies - a peeler, wine opener, etc. When it rained, we enjoyed the pool. We enjoyed the large dining table with a sufficient number of chairs (lots of cards games). There were plenty of rolls of toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. The washer and dryer worked great and he provided the detergent. Will definitely be looking to book Neil's place in the future!

This was our first AirBNB experience, and JoAnn explained everything, answered all our questions, and was quick to stay in touch and help with whatever was needed. The house and property are gorgeous! It was perfect for our family vacation. The house is well-equipped and spacious, with a huge, lovely porch. If you're visiting the Sayre/Elmira area, we can highly recommend this beautiful home.

Magnificent homestead built in 1855. Beautiful grounds. Loved the animals in the barn. Lovely tennis court and swimming pool. Comfy beds! Martha was totally responsive and helpful. Peaceful and relaxing stay!😊
