    Admiral Peabody's Lakeside Lodging - My husband and I enjoyed a sample of a local wine on the private dock! Our pup liked watching the fish jump:)

    I brought my wife and kids here for the 4th of July weekend to visit some family I had in the area…read more One of my uncles and his family had stayed here previously and recommended it to us. I am really glad they did. We stayed in a two bedroom unit with my parents. There was plenty of room for all of us. There were plenty of blankets and towels, and the full-sized kitchen gave the place a nice home-like feel. There were even chilled glasses in the freezer for our drinks! The view from the patio is amazing. We enjoyed some time just sitting outside watching boats sail around the lake. For the July 4th fireworks, we sat on the deck (which is exclusive for guests) right on the water. We could not have asked for a better view. As much as we liked the atmosphere of the room, we liked the owners even better. We interacted mostly with Olga, who was so sweet and accommodating. Anything we needed was provided. She treated us to a fresh watermelon, and even allowed my wife (who is a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan) to take a Bills glass that was in the freezer home. I cannot say enough good things about Admiral Peabody's. It is definitely a place at which I would stay over and over again.

    The best place to stay in Watkins Glen on the lake? Admiral Peabody's 100%. My husband and I found…read morethis place last week by accident through a recommendation from a concierge at another hotel. We needed to find last-minute accommodations that would allow our dog and also didn't cost $500 a night after our van broke down unexpectedly. Admiral Peabody's was an affordable, clean and dog friendly hotel in Watkins Glen that we totally lucked into because it didn't even come up on our searches! This place totally exceeded our expectations. Admiral Peabody's doesn't feel like a hotel. It feels like your own lakeside cottage. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. We were able to sneak a look at the one bedroom bungalow cottages which were also adorable! Our suite was roomy, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. It was also really nice sitting on the deck right outside of our room. PLUS, Admiral Peabody's has a private dock right on the lake with tables, chairs and a blue tooth music system. I'm not sure how old this yelp listing is but the owner now is Luke. HE IS THE BEST. If you are looking for a great place to stay in Watkins Glen, don't pass up this hidden gem.

    We stayed here on July 15-16 while we were attending the Finger Lakes Wine Festival, as guests of…read moreFinger Lakes Wine Country. First off, the location was perfect. Only a 10 minute drive to Watkins Glen and 16 minutes from the festival, walking distance to wineries and breweries, and only 1 hour and 20 minutes from Rochester. Second, this place is gorgeous. The farm house is on eight acres of land and still has many of the historic early 19th century features and charm, but with modern amenities like new bathrooms and WiFi. Each room has so many period details and charming features. Third, it's got everything you need for your stay: firepit with lots of wood and marshmallow sticks, fully stocked kitchen with some dry goods, bathroom with a hairdryer and fluffy towels, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and more! We were also greeted by an amazing selection of local snacks like cheese, meat, juice and more. Finally, it's a cozy place to relax and refresh. The beds (there are 5 of them, along with 3 bathrooms) are super comfy, there's AC to keep you cool, and the front porch gives you a view of the lake. Excited to visit again!

    From the owner: Explore all the Finger Lakes region has to offer from the home base you'll want to return to with…read morefamily and friends year after year. Gathering Hill Farm is a large, gracious home appropriate for a few or many guests, situated right in the heart of the wine country. It is an 8 acre estate with indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces and lovely views of Seneca Lake. Enjoy sitting on the patio with friends, gather around the fire pit in the evening, watch the sunset from the front porch or walk to one of the nearby wineries for a tasting or a bite. Gathering Hill Farm is just outside of Watkins Glen and minutes from some of the best restaurants and wineries in the region. Ithaca is only 30 min away and charming Trumansburg is just 15. The Farm's location on the East side of the lake puts you in the perfect position to explore in all directions. Take your pick of breathtaking walks in the area parks with magical waterfalls or head to the lake for a day of sailing or a dinner cruise. Your local manager, Katie, is extremely knowledgable about the local events and has connections in the food and wine community. Do you have a special event to celebrate or want to arrange a outing for a group? Let Katie help with ideas and arrangements. Spend a day at the Corning Glass Museum, check out the Watkins Glen International NASCAR race track or plan a tour of the wineries, breweries, cider houses and distilleries all up and down the lake...

    Should be two stars - but service (Jackie!) gives it an extra star. Here's what you're getting at…read morethe Rustic Log Cabins on the Leidenfrost Vineyard: - Beautiful views of the lake (not sure if you can get to the lake from the cabins, we accessed the lake through a friend's house on the water.) - Peaceful - A one minute walk to the Liedenfrost Winery (it's literally right next door) - Your own private cabin with a fridge, two beds (our's had one single and one queen), dressers, table, chairs, porch with rocking chairs, and a picnic table. - Communal bathroom - like at a campground. - Across the street is Curtan's (?) Market - Cheese, hot sauces, produce, ice, and sandwiches. - No Wi-Fi - BUGS - bring A LOT of bug spray. The bugs will crowd around your door while you're inside at night. If you have to leave while it's dark, we learned the trick of turning the lights off at first, letting most of the bugs leave the door, then running out! (This was the number one con for us.) - Bring flashlights!! - You have to bring your own sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, etc. Approach the log cabins like you're going camping. If you hate camping and bugs, then there are plenty of hotels. But if you love to camp, like me, you'll enjoy this place. It's inexpensive and would be great for a group of friends to rent out all the cabins.

    Had an absolutely wonderful time at these cabins!…read more My group of 15 enjoyed their stay at the Rustic Log Cabins. We rented out all four of the cabins, which meant we did not have to share the bathrooms with other groups and we were able to be a little louder than what you would expect at a state park camping grounds. I brought my dog on the wine tour and she had a blast as well. The cabins were pet friendly, and Jackie was so kind, telling me to be careful around the road (route 414) because a lot of people speed/whip right by. Cabins: The cabins were very quaint. My group went camping at a state park last year and had a blast. A lot of people thought the cabin would be too much, but they were perfect. We all had enough room to sleep on a bed, had electricity to charge our phones, and refrigerators to keep our beverages and leftover food from lunch and dinner cold. Each cabin had their own picnic table and bonfire. We just made one bonfire and moved a table over to accommodate all the people we had. There were stoves in the cabins, but we did not use them. There was firewood provided, which was very nice. Communication: Jackie was very easy to contact. We made our reservations two months in advance, and we kept in contact until the day of our arrival. She sent me a reminder in the mail, stating the remaining balance on a little brochure that stated more information about the cabins. I contacted her five days before our reservation confirming our arrival time and she promptly responded. When we arrived the day of our reservation, the cabins were clean and ready to go. She met us at the cabins and gave us a lot of suggestions as to where to go around the area. I would definitely recommend staying at these cabins if you are looking for a happy medium between camping and a hotel. My group loves the outdoors, so being able to have a bonfire and watch the stars at night was simply perfect!
