Sep 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean, Comfortable and Convenient While the house could use a little TLC, it was perfect for what we needed. It was clean, comfortable and convenient to downtown and to the race track. There was a Walmart just a few blocks away which was great. Offstreet parking allowed us to leave our vehicles there and just walk a few short blocks to downtown for dinner or to the lakefront for cocktails. William was very friendly and responded to all of our email questions quickly. No issues. If you’re looking for someplace convenient to downtown Watkins Glen, this fits the bill. ##### MikCar M.
