Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Watkins Glen

My family of two adults and one 4 year old stayed at Teresa’s while visiting family for the holidays and it was a great place. It’s well and thoughtfully stocked, and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The porch was very helpful for having Wegmans groceries delivered. It was plenty warm enough for us Californians in December, and Teresa responded right away when our jet lagged brains couldn’t find the toaster (it’s in the lazy Susan). Would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it.

Great house and very convenient location. Great neighborhood for walking and access to downtown Geneva and HWS College. Our family of 7 had lots of space to spread out and the kitchen was well equipped for us to make our own meals. The beds were super comfortable along with the linens. We loved the nooks and crannies, places for alone time and gathering spaces for meals and fun. The decor was comfortable and practical. We had a great stay and will stay again.

Hidden gem! Located just a short drive outside of Ithaca, you’re never too far from the action, but it’s quiet and peaceful. I have a son attending Ithaca College, so I try to visit every now and again. Check in and check out instructions were very clear. Will definitely look to book this place again the next time I am in the area.

Barb was extremely helpful and her place was great. We really liked the location of her house and the neighborhood. The town is really close by and Barb had helped us with local recommendations. The house was nice and cozy and her backyard is beautiful with a little stream running just behind. Would recommend.

I enjoyed a terrific, albeit brief, stay at Joan's cottage. She was very proactive in her communication, making everything a breeze from check-in to departure. The place itself is very thoughtfully appointed, with lots of appreciated details. It was charming and cozy, and located ideally for my taste: an easy drive into town, right near the lake, and quiet and private. I would absolutely return in the future.

I had a wonderful 3-night stay at this cozy cabin. The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway, surrounded by nature. The cabin itself was clean, well-equipped, and had a charming rustic feel. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great spot close to Watkins Glen and area!

Chelsey offers a nice place in a great location on a quiet street. She was very helpful and quick to reply to questions. I would definitely come back. Thanks!

Jason was a wonderful host. The one and only time I reached out, he responded immediately. He also provided many suggestions for local restaurants, hiking spots and other nearby locations of interest. The home itself is lovely and sits on a beautiful piece of property. (The photos don't do it justice). It was exactly what we were looking for.

“An exceptional retreat with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials to actually cook, and the thoughtful design extends to the outdoor patio, where we enjoyed using the grill. The hosts were absolutely wonderful—attentive and welcoming—and the location is perfect, right in the heart of the entertainment district. I stayed here with my 13-year-old twins, and we found it to be incredibly quiet and peaceful. We’re truly grateful for such a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a high-end stay.

Our second time here and we look forward to returning. It is peaceful, cozy, has all comforts of home and is surrounded by great backyard with walking trails that are beautiful. We definitely recommend.

It was a perfect place to stay for our mother & daughter weekend exploring Watkins Glenn and surrounding area(waterfalls, hiking, wineries, breweries, lakes).Can easily walk into town to shops, restaurants and WG state park. Apartment is fully stocked with all needed for our stay. It is a super cozy, comfortable & clean. Host is very helpful & responsive. It was a perfect fall getaway. Hope to return in the future.

Our family lives close by in Dryden. So Arnaud’s place is just right for us. There were farm fresh eggs in the refrigerator, a comfortable bed so a great night sleep and hours with family.

This space was PERFECT for our little anniversary getaway in the finger lakes! Ron was very responsive and we loved all of the treats he supplied the house with. We can wait to come back during the summer! Thank you, Ron!

Mary is a lovely host and the space is very cozy! Thank you for your kindness and warm welcome

We really enjoyed the space! Clean, inviting, with great amenities and lots of unique touches. Would love to stay again sometime.

We enjoyed being able to come and go while taking in the historical and cultural offerings of Auburn. We’ll be back!

Can’t even begin to explain how wonderful our stay was. As a college student on spring break, I wanted to go somewhere nice, but affordable, and this cabin was exactly that. David was incredibly fast to respond, the wood stove was charming in the evening, and the cabin is completely secluded. Will 100% be coming back for the warmer season.

Great cabin in a great location. Hosts are responsive and great to deal with. We will stay there again for sure.

Nancy’s cottage was perfect for our little family of 4. We enjoyed card games on the back porch, meals al fresco w a beautiful lake view, and of course roasting marshmallows in the fire pit at sunset. The cottage was intimate and cozy and we hope to return on a regular basis. Thank you Nancy for being inviting and more than accommodating.

This place was amazing! Perfect weekend getaway that has so much around it to see from Ithaca to wineries to the waterfalls and finger lakes! Place is super cute and hot tub is a great added bonus! Gray was a superb host who gave plenty of recommendations, and Thompson & Bleecker and Village Taqueria were PHENOMENAL food options that he recommended! Bet the Farm Winery was also beautiful and allowed appointments which made us have a more personalized wine tasting experience. Already looking at dates for me to return sometime soon!

This is my 2nd time staying here. Very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended if you are looking for a short fishing get away. The lakes are very short drive away!!!! All around great place and person.

A great private little cabin in the woods, plenty of wildlife to see, warm and cozy fireplace. Close to many of the Wineries, Breweries and Distilleries.

This is the perfect stay for hiking nearby state parks of New York and winery hopping on the wine trail! Amber’s cabin was clean, cozy, and a great location for everything we wanted to do. Although the cabin does have limited amenities, the bed was comfy to sleep in and the mini-fridge was a savior! We used the bonfire outside, which did have chairs provided, and it was so peaceful and homey. Both of us felt very safe and secluded in this cabin. The walk to the bathroom/shower is short and clean! Both Watkins Glen and Buttermilk State Parks are a 30 minute drive and Taughannock State Park is a 15 minute drive from this spot. There are TONS of wineries anywhere from 5-30 minutes away, which is perfect for hopping! Amber was a great host because she was responsive and provided us first timers to the finger lakes some recommendations that we tried and were not disappointed in! Overall, we highly recommend Amber and her cabin. If we ever go back, we would definitely stay here again! :)

My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Joe’s cabin. From the time we arrived, we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a fire already burning in the wood stove, it was so romantic, everything exceeded our expectations. The cabin was sweet and cozy, beautifully decorated, clean, and had the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We also enjoyed the firepit. The place really made it feel like a home away from home. Joe was an outstanding host, incredibly responsive, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. He made sure we had everything we needed and provided great local recommendations that really enhanced our experience in the Finger lakes. The check-in process was smooth, and the communication was seamless throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Finger lakes. I definitely plan to return in the future. Thank you so much Joe for making our stay so memorable!
