We stayed here in mid-May 2022 as a Finger Lakes getaway on our 25th wedding anniversary. This was a great place to use as a "base camp" for several days of Finger Lakes excursions. The location is perfect! You're close to the village of Watkins Glen for daily needs, and the rest of the region is easily accessible. As for the lodging itself, we loved it. We stayed in the Lieutenant's Quarters, which I would recommend for any couples who plan to spend a bit of time lounging about. The cabin is cozy and yet roomy, nicely decorated (nautical theme, naturally), with a large front porch. There's even a grill you can use with all the utensils provided; we ended up buying meat locally two of our four nights for dinners in. We weren't in love with the coffee or the drip machine, but this is undoubtedly because we're kind of coffee snobs who can be a bit particular about that sort of thing. Not remotely a deal-breaker. My only main quibble with the cabin is that there is only one air conditioning unit, which is in the main living room. Our first night there was a bit on the warm and muggy side, and the bedroom never really cooled to our preferred comfort level. Subsequent nights (cooler, less humid) were lovely with windows open. Also, the bathroom could use an exhaust fan. The view of the lake is obscured a bit from the Lieutenant's Quarters by the larger house on the property just downslope, but you still have beautiful sightlines of the water. Access to the water itself involves crossing a street (not much traffic), descending a long flight of stairs, crossing railroad tracks (which ARE in use for the salt mine a mile up the road), and then descending another flight of stairs. None of this is difficult, but bear in mind if easy and quick access to the water is something you want or need from your FLX lodging choice. This is NOT a "wake up and walk right out onto a beach" place. It IS a "wake up and watch the boats" place, though! While we were there we had a minor plumbing issue in the cabin, which the owners dealt with very quickly. Other than that there were no hassles or difficulties at all. The street is a quiet one, and while the railroad tracks ARE in use, there was only a single train that we heard while we were there. Not only would I not hesitate to stay here again, I'm already thinking about when we can make it back!

Amazing and wonderful place! Very clean and comfortable. Close to town and stores. Dog friendly too! Luke and Jane are also very nice. The scenery here is beautiful! Love being able to sit on the many places down on the docks. Highly recommend this place!!

It's clean with a great location. Our only issue was the size of the room. If you stay in the single room cabin, have lots of plans for the day. It's fit for sleep and a shower, no hanging out.
