About this property

2 Mins. from Watkins Glen Racetrack & Central to FLX Wine Trail touring.

Quiet country home with adequate parking for truck and trailer. 2 miles from Watkins Glen International Raceway. Perfect for track days. 10 min. to Watkins Glen, 25 min. to Corning. Also in the Finger Lakes Wine Trail region.

This cozy 1100 SF home features a master bedroom with full bath,
two other bedrooms with their own full bath, and an extra twin bed in the common area. Fully equipped kitchen for complete meal preparation and dining room for six. Smart TV boasts all of your popular streaming networks, just bring your own passwords. High speed wifi and full coffee bar are complimentary. Front and rear deck have seating and overlook the spacious yard. A bbq grill and grilling utensils are also provided. No pets, no smoking (home is pet dander free).

Just far enough from town to provide a peaceful stay, but close enough to enjoy many of the race track events and numerous Wineries and Breweries along the East and West side of Seneca Lake. Most Wineries are within a 25 minute or less ride on either side you choose.

If you are attending a car club or track day event, this is the perfect location! The house is on CR 16, the same road the main gate (Gate 2) of the track is on, literally 2 minutes down the road. Our long driveway provides parking for several truck and trailer combos, which you may not find downtown.

Visit the village of Watkins Glen to experience the excellent downtown bars, eateries, and shops. Also near by is Sugar Hill State Forrest; home to miles of beautiful hiking trails, hunting, horseback riding, and snowmobiling (when we are blessed with snow). Watkins Glen is nestled on the south end of Seneca lake where kayaking, swimming, boating (plenty of room for truck and boat trailer in the driveway), and fishing are welcome. Enjoy a scenic lunch or dinner cruise along the lake aboard one of Captain Bill's elegant boats.

Guests will have access to entire house and yard. There are 2 sheds on the property that guests will not have access to.

Please Note:

1. Check out is 10am sharp. The cleaners will arrive shortly after and need ample time to thoroughly clean the house before the next guests arrive at 3pm.

2. The single and double bedrooms are on the smaller side, but cozy.

3. This home is on well water. It may be different than what you are used to at home . The water is harmless, just may not be very pleasant to drink. Therefore, we provide some bottled water. If you need more, Walmart and Tops are a short 10 minute drive away.

4. There are no stairs inside the house. However, you will have to climb 4 steps up the porch to enter the house.

5. There are two security cameras on the property, one on the front porch and one on the shed. They cannot see in the house at all. Please do not tamper with cameras in any way.

6. Smart TV has all the popular apps (Netflix, hulu, Disney Plus, etc.). You will need to bring your own passwords.

Wonderful stay!

I started with family and friends (party of 5), for a visit to the Finger Lakes. Location was great, with chain stores, such as Walmart, only a few minutes away. The moment we walked in, we immediately felt at home. The property was clean, cozy and inviting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Great weekend

The house was perfectly located to all the sites we wanted to see and to the rest of my family that was camping in Watkins Glen State park. The house had everything in it that we needed. The host was very quick to reply to any questions we had and recommendations we asked for. If we were ever to come to this area again, we would love to stay in this house again. Thank you for a great weekend!

Couples get a way

My first time to Fingerlakes & first time renting a house. Location was perfect. Far enough away from town for peace ms privacy but close to many attractions. The house was perfect providing everything we needed and was very clean. Hosts made it known they were available for anything needed. Beautiful area. Would definitely visit again and stay at this property as well as recommend it to others.

Short Stay in July

My wife and I, along with our 3-year old, enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and we had all we needed for our short 3-day stay. Close proximity to downtown Watkins Glen while still being out in the country a bit. The property and surrounding area was nice and quiet. The only thing that could be noisy were the wall AC units but we got used to those.

Perfect Watkins Glen Vacation

This property was perfect for our short stay in Watkins Glen. It's a great location for touring the area- a 1/2 hour from Corning and from Ithaca. The place was clean and the grounds were well kept and pretty. It was a short drive into town making it very convenient for visiting the Glen and for getting dinner. Samantha was a responsive and helpful host. I had some issues accessing my emails so she made sure our correspondences were through text. If we are ever in the area in the future we will definitely stay again.

Perfect Fit!

This home has a very good floor plan and is freshly renovated with nice decor. Lots of thoughtful touches made the home very comfortable and user friendly. Our host had excellent communications and instructions. The location is perfect for traveling all along Seneca and Kueka lakes! We had plenty of room for 6 women and the house is equipped for cooking and dining. Very close to Watkins Racetrack and downtown Watkins Glen. Highly recommend the rental; would definitely stay here again. Everyone in our group was pleased with our lodging.

Family Track Weekend

Property was perfect for our group of 6 1/2 (a one year old ) Neat as a pin with everything we needed. The grill on the back deck worked great for Sat night dinner. We got lucky on the weather but unlucky at WGI. With our racing done early (crash) there was plenty to do in town and even some great board games in the closet to make the nights fun. Definitely back next year, the location is perfect for anyone going to WGI Thanks to Todd and Alex for all the thoughtful touches (coffee, sugar, laundry detergent, etc) that made the weekend so easy for all 👍
