Travel the west side of Seneca and find award-wining wineries getting global attention for European Vinifera. Enjoy Hector for year-round sunsets! Watkins Glen is the heart of the FLX and Pines Cottage is one especially loved home in our village—right where the sidewalk ends. Entering via garden rock steps up to the main level (level 2) entrance door, you will find our lake front den opening to our living room, dinning area, full open kitchen, with patio door access to rooftop deck, and off the kitchen, a back screened patio eating area. Essentially 4 options of eating areas! Also on the main level are 2 queen bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The glass triplexes in the living room bring the outside in, framing the environment and making it part of the space. Imagine, wine on the roof top overlooking Seneca Lake, coffee and conversation in the patio garden, working in a peaceful space, or just simply admiring the captivating views. Access level 3 from open stairway and find 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with large central hallway and dormer window. Clean and environmentally friendly throughout. Enjoy our large rooftop deck which is 20 feet by 1 mile [the 1 mile view!] all the way east to "The Painted Rocks at Seneca." A full kitchen with essentials to make a meal. A gas grill for roof deck grilling (full LP tank provided). All bedrooms have fresh linens; We provide a substantial but ultimately limited quantity of towels, soap and shampoo and conditioner. Front door code will be provided prior to arrival. In addition to the house and rooftop deck please enjoy our large back yard and double lot with perennial gardens and orchard trees. Tall 4' stakes marked with orange identify the extra 100' x 100' boundary for your enjoyment. You are welcome to chat through Airbnb email or text or voice. Residential Neighborhood with open space and sloped views of Seneca Lake reminds us of Como, Italy. Family friendly and stable social environment. Safe. On site parking lot (and garage access in 2024)! Big benefit to you as you can drive away as you please and no street parking worries. We are right on the north end of the village sidewalk. The village is entirely walkable if you enjoy walks and small hikes. We enjoy 10k and 15k jogs. The 10k starts at Pines Cottage and loops through the Gorge and right out the upper entrance of the Watkins Glen State Park and then North and East down the vintage race track. The 15k is inclusive of Pines Cottage and the entire original '48-'52 raceway! SPECIAL NOTE: We are keeping our base price favorable for 4. Pines Cottage becomes that amazing getaway experience for 2 and in these special cases we will negotiate a discount. If your group or company is more than 4, please be accurate with specifying total guest numbers as the booking rate is variably dependent on that number. i.e. if you book 6, 6 may occupy Pines Cottage. Six costs more than 4. —-///-///—- If you are racing crew members, we can give you simple bypassing instructions to avoid all traffic. We can generally be at the WGI main gate in 7 minutes. The short cut takes you simply north on Reading Rd to L on Glen Ave South to R on the old race track going the reverse direction then on to Meads and then Rt 16 west.
