Home Base

A very nice home base to explore the Watkins Glen and finger lakes areas. The trail being nearby was nice as we could bike when the weather cooperated. The property was clean and well appointed. We would stay again if we were in the area.

Great Location

The property feels so secluded, but it was only a 10-15 minute drive from all the places we were headed during our trip. Montour Falls and Watkins Glen were both such cute little towns and we happened to be there during the Fall Festival! Richard and Rebekah were great hosts. The property was better than we imagined. The guest house is up on the hill and their main house property is beautiful to look down upon. We had a great time and will definitely consider staying here the next time I am in the finger lakes.

Home base for Watkins Glen and wine trail

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.

Perfect Finger Lakes getaway

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!

Watkins Glen Getaway

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.

Lovely stay at Guesthouse at the Woodlands

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!

Beautiful and peaceful getaway

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.

Fabulous fall stay

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. ❤️
