Ladies weekend

We loved staying at Dawn’s house. We were a group of 4 adults and each had our own comfortable and private space. We loved having coffee on the porch overlooking the lake, walking to the main street with all its shops and restaurants, and walking to Watkins Glen park. Location is superb, though there is a road between the house and the lake. The gas fireplace was lovely to sit around and couches cozy.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Sevilla

Host profile image
When I was growing up my parents took us to Watkins Glen and we hiked through the gorge. I really enjoyed the waterfalls. Many years later my husband and I came back to celebrate a wedding anniversary. We walked through the gorge and it was as beautiful as I remembered it. After the gorge we stopped at Lakewood Vineyards and had our first ever wine tasting. That was about 15 years ago and we have been coming back ever since. We are always finding something new to do in the area. There are so many festivals and events that there are some we are still trying to find the time to attend.

Why they chose this property

What we enjoy about the property we have is the location. We are not in the center of town but rather just on the edge of town. We have a lake and harbor view, and are close enough to town to walk to restaurants and town events.
