Private 1 Bedroom/1 Bath apartment
When we walked in the airbnb, I though someone was playing piano next door, but there was a soothing piano playlist on the TV. The heat and air was already on and set at a comfortable temperature, as well, which was lovely because it was cold and rainy. There were books with suggestions on what to do around the area. We had everything we needed here, and we were very thankful that bottled water was provided! We actually ran into Christopher and he is such a friendly man.

No. 3537 Light & Airy Cozy Loft
Everything was perfect and Angela was a great host! We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Birch Haven Tiny House on Wheels
Best of both worlds. Peaceful, relaxing getaway…yet extremely close to great wineries, breweries and restaurants. We got the simplicity, privacy and nature of a camping trip…yet in a comfortable, even luxurious, tiny home with all the amenities. Sarah was a very nice and responsive host that was close by if we had any issues (we didn’t!) And the yard was set up wonderfully for our dogs. If you want a unique adventure, but don’t necessarily want to “rough it”…this is for you.

Cozy little 3 story cabin in the woods
The cabin was lovely. It was great to be cut off from wifi amd other distractions. I li ed that the host had a thoughtful collection of dvds, ping pong, dart and other board games. We also enjoyed camp fire and the kitchen had all the basic utensils that we needed. There is also a general store near by to get anything needed and lit of good restaurants nearby too.

Cabin 1 north, queen bed. Bathhouse. Electric
We took our 3 year old golden retriever with us and it was the absolute best, safest set up for us. The cabin was big enough for all of us, with room to spare. The bathhouse was just steps away and squeaky clean. We went to Scale house brewing and Ithaca proper. This is NOT a negative. Unless I missed it, there was no wash basin for washing dishes. I believe there was a hose behind the bathhouse that I didn’t see until we were leaving. I hope to make many more visits to the cabin. We made so many awesome memories in just a short time. The view was amazing, the animals were adorable and the accommodations a ten out of ten!!

Crows nest lake view flat
We visit the finger lakes region several times a year and this is space and location was a perfect fit for us. Friendly responsive host who has clear instructions to everything. A very clean, well supplied place.

Hidden Hideaway
We had a very nice stay at Stacy's place. Stacy was extremely responsive and very accommodating with our special requests. The house was very roomy, clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Large, private guest suite nestled in wine country
This place was perfect! From the beautiful, peaceful and calming surroundings, to the friendliness of the host, it was great! It was an awesome location along the Seneca Lake wine trail, close to a lot of our favorite places. The room was cozy and inviting with beautiful views. Would highly recommend, and would definitely stay again in the future.

Secluded Vineyard Cabin Retreat
We love it in the Barnstormer spot!!! This is our second stay and we are plotting our next visit already ! We added the “staycation package” and what a treat it was! Thank you Scott for being a wonderful and welcoming host, you offered such clear information and were kind, informative and attentive throughout our stay. A million out of 5 stars all around.

Forest Glamping
Extremely welcoming, clean, and PEACEFUL!! Danielle reached out to prior to my arrival to confirm my plans. I was welcomed by the cutest chicken and slept like a baby in the tent. I will definitely be returning!

Cabins on the hill #2
Nancy was such a great host! We had such a great relaxing stay. So much was offered. As far as toiletries, everything needed was provided which was amazing we did not expect that. Everything was so clean and organized. Nancy is very responsive as well if you need to reach out for anything she answers almost immediately. I would definitely book again!

Village Living, Steps From the State Park Gorge
Alan and Ruxy’s place was smack dab in the middle of Watkins Glen. Great porch to sit on and have a cup of tea or wine in the afternoon and watch the people pass by. Great restaurants and lots of beautiful waterfalls and parks to hike. Would certainly come back again

Wolf Den Private Suite and Dock
This was the cleanest and most beautiful space I have ever stayed in!! Such a great experience!!! Right on the wine trail! So many amazing wineries. Not close to a lot of fine dinning but the space had everything for making great meals and had all sorts of personal touches. Jeffery was super responsive and attentive! Could not ask for a better host! Also gave us our privacy! The best air B&B I have ever stayed at!

Gorgeous Hilltop Paradise with epic views and pond
This little home was so charming and cozy! It was quite chilly so we didn’t get into the pond but the view was beautiful and the house itself was whimsical and perfect for our needs! David was very responsive and came right over to help us light the stove our first night cooking. I would love to stay here again.

Speedway Suite
Loved Katie’s place! She took great care down to the detail of thinking of everything you may need. The hot tub was an extra added bonus for relaxation after two long days of fishing. I would most definitely recommend her place to others.

Your guide to Watkins Glen
Welcome to Watkins Glen
Cradled on the southern shore of Seneca Lake in New York’s Finger Lakes, Watkins Glen is home to both high-speed thrills and leisurely paced wonders. The Schuyler County city is known for its great outdoors, with dramatic cascades dancing over deep gorges in its parks. It also has an unrivaled agricultural scene, with apple farms, creameries, and plenty of wineries. But its moniker is perhaps best known as the one of the country’s great raceways — after all, American road racing started early here, and a love for cars still fuels the area’s need for speed.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Watkins Glen
Whether you’re looking to rev up your engines or bask among the new blooms, spring is a delightful time to stay in one of the area’s vacation rentals even though evenings can get cold and there’s often a fair chance of rain. Opening Weekend at The Glen in April officially kicks off the racing season. By the time temperatures warm up for summer, the festivals also crank into gear, with the Waterfront Festival in June, the Finger Lakes Wine Festival and the Finger Lakes Cheese Festival in July, and the Grand Prix Festival in September. The changing of the leaves’ colors ushers in crisp air along with fall fun, including the Falls Harvest Festival and the Finger Lakes Beer Festival. Just because the cold and snow come for winter doesn’t mean the celebrations have to end, so December hosts the Seneca Lake Wine Trail’s Deck the Halls Weekend and Village Christmas, complete with a candy-themed parade.
Top things to do in Watkins Glen
Watkins Glen International
Known in the area as simply the Glen, the road racing track has been part of the Watkins Glen identity since 1948. The 3.45-mile Grand Prix track hosts the auto races it’s known for and also plenty of festivals throughout the year. On certain weekends, you may even be able to take your own vehicle onto the track as part of the Drive the Glen experience. Racing enthusiasts should also make a pit stop at the International Motor Racing Research Center in town.
Watkins Glen State Park
Gorges, waterfalls, and trails, oh my! A two-mile hike through the New York state park involves ascending 800 stone steps, but it’s well worth it to follow the 19 waterfalls along the route. The area is also primed for biking, snowshoeing, and swimming.
Brick Tavern Museum and Wickham Rural Life Center
Just five minutes down Route 14 in Montour Falls are two buildings preserved by the Schuyler County Historical Society. As the oldest brick structure in the county, built in 1828, the Brick Tavern Museum showcases historic musical instruments, toys, and artifacts. Next door, the Wickham Rural Life Center shows what farm life was like between 1875 and 1925.
