This property was at the perfect spot for us on the lake. It was at a great location on the east side of Lake Seneca, close to great wineries and breweries, as well as close enough to Watkins Glen. The photos do not do this place justice as to the beautiful outdoor space both with the deck, pavilion, and waterfront area. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Cottage and view were beyond expectations. Loved the privacy, ability to walk to the lake's edge, the wide deck area to view the sunsets and how fully stocked the cottage was with everything you might need. Also, thoroughly enjoyed the proximity to Watkins Glenn and the vineyards.One thing in particular was the cleanliness of the place and lack of any mustiness odor. A place to return too and one we would highly recommend and have to others as well. Gene and Susan, June 2023.

We were looking for a quiet nature escape on the lake-and we got it 100%! Rustic cabin in the woods, wit spectacular views of the lake. It gave us the needed remote feeling, yet it’s is perfectly located in the mix of the wine trail (wineries and breweries just up on the main road) and close to Watkins Glen for hiking the trails.

I can says that definitely I’m coming back.

Enjoyed the lake views. The location was close to several great wineries and Watkins Glen State Park

Very relaxing and great view for the sunset over the lake . Just outside of town . Great place to relax at the water . And wine tasting or hiking is not that far of a drive .

Positives. Location and view, responses from Stacy. Negatives. Stated it had a dock, but could not tie a boat to it. Water supply came straight from the lake. No washer & Dryer. No smoke alarm. Beam into kitchen is 6’1”. I’m 6’3”. OUCH. Blame myself for negatives. Should have asked more questions before I booked, just took for granted what I have come to expect from VRBO

Found peace in this cabin. Beautiful sunsets and lake views. Close to Seneca Harbor and wineries. Everything we wanted and more!

Spent my wife's birthday weekend here. Plenty of room and close to a lot of beautiful wineries. Some reviews I read before going complained about the driveway but we had no problems at all. Not sure way there are speed bumps on a gravel driveway but not a big deal. Enjoyed our stay very much.

The cabin was perfect for four people and we also brought our dog. The description is stated correctly and the pictures are accurate of the cabin.. It was very peaceful and relaxing on the lake. Cabin and decor is very rustic . Beds were not very comfortable would be the only issue we had with our stay. We had no problem with the driveway as stated in some reviews. The cabin was in a good location to explore all the wineries, breweries, waterfalls and the other lakes.

Nice location and view right on the water… close to all attractions! Perfect size for 4 people

A cozy little cabin for our group. We loved sitting outside in the mornings by the lake. It was so peaceful. We visited all the local breweries and had so much fun!!

Paradise in the woods and leisurely lounging lakeside. I loved every minute of it. Was sad to leave! PS I recommend that it is not for children under 5. Too many ways they could get hurt.

A spectacular view and setting for some peace and tranquility. Close to Watkins Glen so lots of options available. Thank you for the stay.

We loved the property views. The steps and dock are very new and safe, although, anyone with knee issues or difficulty walking should not rent this cottage. Many steps and steep hill. We had no trouble driving our Honda Civic FWD on the driveway to the cottage. The cottage was very cozy with a great view of the lake from the living area. Could use some decorative touches but overall, a great cottage at the right place and price. Supplied well. Amy, the owner, was delightful and enjoyed talking to her. Thanks, Amy and Marc!

Rustic but yet cosy.The good:Cabin was as advertised. I will say upfront, my wife and I are used to more "organized" vacations to hotel properties and a resort. With this pandemic, we were looking for something to get away from the city. We admit we are a bit inexperienced. That being said. Linens were provided. My sister explained to me that most cabins in the woods you are to bring your own. needs improvement:the bed in the left bedroom was lumpy and could be replaced. My wife had some trouble with it. the other room where my son was was fine.What a "city person" MUST know before booking this location:Look, I knew what to expect. My wife and son did not. This is a good property. However, city folks that come out to the country need to know about roads and conditions. It's the "woods" come prepared. Like I said, it was not bad. you need bug spray down at the water. The road in and out,....yes. the owner does warn you that you need a FOUR WHEEL drive or a subaru outback to get into the property. I made the mistake of taking my wife's toyota highlander. However, it is a 2 wheel (front wheel) drive as we have this "truck" from Miami where her family is from. Down south, SUV's and pick up trucks commonly have front wheel drive. Florida is flat. A lot of so called suburban adventurers know nothing about rural life. I am the 1st to say it. do NOT attempt to drive down the road here without 4 wheel drive. the "ski slope" is about 20 degree grade. I made the mistake of driving down. I had to throw it in reverse and carefully "navigate" back up the slope to the "1st landing". I spent the week taking my groceries and baggage up and down the slope with a "fire island wagon" that thank God I took. I didn't bother or complain to the owner or property manager. Why? because unlike most people who leave reviews, I accept what is in front of me and deal with it like an adult. More people need to do that. So when you "roll a lemon" make lemonade. Why am I posting this now? To warn any other "wantabe city/suburban warrior" to know what you're getting into. If you are older, bring your hiking gear. We had our hiking sticks to get up and down the slope from the cabin and our vechicle. It's all good. I state this in the interest of general awareness and safety. I will REPEAT, the owner's notice is valid. PLEASE LISTEN. Lesson learned for me and my family. We made the best of it and burnt a lot of carbs, so that was a good thing. no complaints on this.

Property exactly as described. Long, winding road to get to the cabin is worth the drive. Rustic cabin has everything you need and it's surrounded by great restaurants and breweries. Quick drive to Watkins Glen with even more to explore, the state park is beautiful.

We had a great stay at Montour cabin with our pups! Property was in a great location and stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our time. The cabin was very comfortable and we really enjoyed waking up and ending our day with the gorgeous lakefront views. Thanks for a great little getaway! -Rachel, Ryan, Rocky, and Zena

There is so much potential for this rental, but based on the condition of the property the owners only want to make money without putting a cent back into it. The cabin is cozy, and the kitchen and bathroom are pretty clean. But you will find dead insects between the storm windows and window panes, dirt, and who knows what underneath the beds, and neglected flower pots with cob webs. The trail down to the water is very dangerous for people who are vision impaired. Toward the bottom, dirt and shale cover half the platform that leads to the final steps. The dirt and shale narrow the trail to the point of making it dangerous. Installing a railing and removing the dirt and shale must be done to prevent a serious accident. When you get to the bottom, it is nice with a beautiful view right on the shore, but again neglect raises its ugly head. The dock has a board that pops up, and the steps down to the water are pretty beat up (they look like they are left in year round). I would not recommend this rental.
