Our second time staying here and it's really great. Clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable, private, 7ish minutes from WGI, right on the Catherine Valley Trail.. My husband and I ended up using both bedrooms since we don’t do well sharing queen beds, but the beds are comfortable. Hosts are super responsive, replying and bringing us more propane within 10 minutes. We highly recommend this property.

Excellent location to Watkins Glenn State Park and other great places for water falls, gorges and hiking. The property has many amenities including a patio, hot tub and fire pit. The guest house has enough room to spread out and the hosts stocked it up with snacks and water bottles. The bed in the master bedroom is soft (better if medium firmness in our opinion) and the very hot weather meant that the room air conditioners would kick on and off throughout the night. But that did not really bother us. We enjoyed eating at Althea's while listening to their Blues Band and dining at the Blue Pointe Grille outside on their patio overlooking Seneca Lake and their garden. Overall, we recommend this guest house.

The house was great! Well stocked. Unfortunately, there was a birds nest in the grill, so we decided not to use that. That's what happens when you're in nature though! The location of the house was perfect for our itinerary. It was just a short drive to Watkins Glen State Park. The bicycle path near the house was great as well! It's a wonderful area! Rick and Rebecca were great with communication during our 3 night stay as well. The washer and dryer were a lovely added bonus.

The property is a great home base for accessing Watkins Glen and the Seneca Lake wine trail. It was clean and comfortable for our family, and the hot tub was a nice bonus after a day of hiking. Would definitely recommend this place for exploring the area.

This place is wonderful! A private, quiet spot with a beautiful view, the house is clean and cozy, with modern appliances and a stocked kitchen. The porch has a great view, with comfy chairs and a grill nearby. And there's a hot tub! Great way to start and end the day. The owners are awesome. Great to deal with, very helpful, real fast response to questions, tons of local knowledge. They've created a mowed path on the back of the property that leads to the Catharine Valley Trail which is a beautiful walk. Super nice people. If you're planning a Finger Lakes vacation this is the place to stay! It's quiet, peaceful, private, yet close to lots of great wineries, parks, and food. Tops Market is a full grocery store not 5 minutes from the house, so you can get what you need quick and easy. And you'll pass a waterfall on the way. The Carrolls are great hosts, they'll make your stay special. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

Was the perfect home away from home! Short drive to many activities in the Finger Lakes area and close to groceries and restaurants, yet the place is located in a peaceful quiet area. Plenty of space to spread out and relax, nice sized bathrooms, with plenty of hooks to hang towels! Place was spotless, and beds were very comfortable. The washer & dryer was great to take care of wet swimsuits after hanging out in the hottub each night! Kitchen was well appointed with everything you need, good quality pans, a colander, blender and plenty of silverware and dishes to have a number of meals before running the dishwasher. While we didn't sit on the front porch - a little too chilly - it was so inviting as was the fire pit area, but we only had energy to open the hottub cover, which was a wonderful end to each day.Great local places to go are a 5 min drive - Watkin's Glen State Park is a MUST to go to, lots of shopping and cute restaurants in DT Watkin's Glen.Owners were very responsive and the whole process was very easy!This will definitely be a place we will stay at if we make another trip to this area.

We had a great stay for our first trip to the area. The house was exceptionally clean and perfect for our family of four. The front porch was relaxing in the morning for that first cup of coffee and at night with a glass of wine as the sun sets. The house had very nice amenities and having a hot tub was a bonus. The location was convenient to Watkins Glen State Park and other hiking areas along with a cute downtown. We definitely recommend staying here and hope to come again.

The beds were very comfortable and the master bathroom in particular is gorgeous! Wonderful water pressure in the showers, too. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay near Watkins Glen if we'd tried. Highly recommend!

Excellent location to Watkins Glenn State Park and other great places for water falls, gorges and hiking. The property has many amenities including a patio, hot tub and fire pit. The guest house has enough room to spread out and the hosts stocked it up with snacks and water bottles. The bed in the master bedroom is soft (better if medium firmness in our opinion) and the very hot weather meant that the room air conditioners would kick on and off throughout the night. But that did not really bother us. We enjoyed eating at Althea's while listening to their Blues Band and dining at the Blue Pointe Grille outside on their patio overlooking Seneca Lake and their garden. Overall, we recommend this guest house.

My husband, friends, and I enjoyed this cozy little house 8/3-8/7/23. Perfect for two couples. We loved that the bedrooms are located at each end of the house. Kitchen was well stocked as we cooked all breakfasts and two dinners. My favorite spot was the front porch. Perfect place for coffee in the morning and listening to nature. Beyond peaceful. Location was perfect. Close to everything but far enough away from the business of Watkins Glen. Description of house was spot on. If you stay here you won’t be disappointed.

This place is wonderful! A private, quiet spot with a beautiful view, the house is clean and cozy, with modern appliances and a stocked kitchen. The porch has a great view, with comfy chairs and a grill nearby. And there's a hot tub! Great way to start and end the day. The owners are awesome. Great to deal with, very helpful, real fast response to questions, tons of local knowledge. They've created a mowed path on the back of the property that leads to the Catharine Valley Trail which is a beautiful walk. Super nice people. If you're planning a Finger Lakes vacation this is the place to stay! It's quiet, peaceful, private, yet close to lots of great wineries, parks, and food. Tops Market is a full grocery store not 5 minutes from the house, so you can get what you need quick and easy. And you'll pass a waterfall on the way. The Carrolls are great hosts, they'll make your stay special. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

Our second time staying here and it's really great. Clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable, private, 7ish minutes from WGI, right on the Catherine Valley Trail.. My husband and I ended up using both bedrooms since we don’t do well sharing queen beds, but the beds are comfortable. Hosts are super responsive, replying and bringing us more propane within 10 minutes. We highly recommend this property.
Our second time staying here and it's really great. Clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable, private, 7ish minutes from WGI, right on the Catherine Valley Trail..

The property is very comfortably maintained. The owners have made everything you need available. The quiet, private location and close proximity to WGI make it the perfect place. The owners are very responsive to any questions or needs.

The house was great! Well stocked. Unfortunately, there was a birds nest in the grill, so we decided not to use that. That's what happens when you're in nature though! The location of the house was perfect for our itinerary. It was just a short drive to Watkins Glen State Park. The bicycle path near the house was great as well! It's a wonderful area! Rick and Rebecca were great with communication during our 3 night stay as well. The washer and dryer were a lovely added bonus.

This Montour Falls home was a great place to stay while visiting the Finger Lakes area. The home was very comfortable and clean. The surrounding area is scenic and very quiet and peaceful. The owner was responsive to the few questions we had and offered several solid recommendations.

We truly enjoyed our stay and Rich and Rebekah were very responsive and helpful. The location is just minutes from Watkins Glen , close to wineries and restaurants. The property was just as described - modern and clean. We really enjoyed the hot tub and its ease of use! Hope to visit again!

We had the most wonderful time at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described (if not better!). The home was spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need — from kitchen essentials to cozy blankets and extra towels.The location was ideal: quiet and peaceful, yet close to great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. We especially loved the hot tub.Our host was fantastic — friendly, responsive, and clearly cares about making guests feel welcome. Check-in was smooth, and we really appreciated the helpful local tips they shared.We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.

The property feels so secluded, but it was only a 10-15 minute drive from all the places we were headed during our trip. Montour Falls and Watkins Glen were both such cute little towns and we happened to be there during the Fall Festival! Richard and Rebekah were great hosts. The property was better than we imagined. The guest house is up on the hill and their main house property is beautiful to look down upon. We had a great time and will definitely consider staying here the next time I am in the finger lakes.

This place is wonderful! A private, quiet spot with a beautiful view, the house is clean and cozy, with modern appliances and a stocked kitchen. The porch has a great view, with comfy chairs and a grill nearby. And there's a hot tub! Great way to start and end the day. The owners are awesome. Great to deal with, very helpful, real fast response to questions, tons of local knowledge. They've created a mowed path on the back of the property that leads to the Catharine Valley Trail which is a beautiful walk. Super nice people. If you're planning a Finger Lakes vacation this is the place to stay! It's quiet, peaceful, private, yet close to lots of great wineries, parks, and food. Tops Market is a full grocery store not 5 minutes from the house, so you can get what you need quick and easy. And you'll pass a waterfall on the way. The Carrolls are great hosts, they'll make your stay special. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

We loved the area and the property. 10 minutes from Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. Everything was exactly as advertised. The guest house is a little closer to the main house than I had expected, but it still felt very private. Would absolutely stay again.

Our second time staying here and it's really great. Clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable, private, 7ish minutes from WGI, right on the Catherine Valley Trail.. My husband and I ended up using both bedrooms since we don’t do well sharing queen beds, but the beds are comfortable. Hosts are super responsive, replying and bringing us more propane within 10 minutes. We highly recommend this property.

My husband, adult daughter and her friend stayed at the Guesthouse for 3 nights. We were traveling to see the eclipse. The Guesthouseat the Woodlands appealed to us because of it's proximity to nice places to hike. The Guesthouse was perfect for the 4 of us. It was very clean, very well equipped and very comfortably outfitted with cozy living room furnitureThe beds were very comfortable as well. It was too chilly to spend much time sitting on the lovely porch but we did make use of the hot tub, which was great! The Guesthouse has a pathway that links to the local trail system which made it very easy, and very safe to walk into town to view the falls and/ or get a bite to eat. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others!

Excellent location to Watkins Glenn State Park and other great places for water falls, gorges and hiking. The property has many amenities including a patio, hot tub and fire pit. The guest house has enough room to spread out and the hosts stocked it up with snacks and water bottles. The bed in the master bedroom is soft (better if medium firmness in our opinion) and the very hot weather meant that the room air conditioners would kick on and off throughout the night. But that did not really bother us. We enjoyed eating at Althea's while listening to their Blues Band and dining at the Blue Pointe Grille outside on their patio overlooking Seneca Lake and their garden. Overall, we recommend this guest house.

Was the perfect home away from home! Short drive to many activities in the Finger Lakes area and close to groceries and restaurants, yet the place is located in a peaceful quiet area. Plenty of space to spread out and relax, nice sized bathrooms, with plenty of hooks to hang towels! Place was spotless, and beds were very comfortable. The washer & dryer was great to take care of wet swimsuits after hanging out in the hottub each night! Kitchen was well appointed with everything you need, good quality pans, a colander, blender and plenty of silverware and dishes to have a number of meals before running the dishwasher. While we didn't sit on the front porch - a little too chilly - it was so inviting as was the fire pit area, but we only had energy to open the hottub cover, which was a wonderful end to each day.Great local places to go are a 5 min drive - Watkin's Glen State Park is a MUST to go to, lots of shopping and cute restaurants in DT Watkin's Glen.Owners were very responsive and the whole process was very easy!This will definitely be a place we will stay at if we make another trip to this area.
