Only 20 min from downtown Watkins Glen. Country setting but house is sandwiched between 2 other neighbors. Wasn't an issue for us. You will hear road noise, just cars zooming by, a couple hundred feet away. Big note: charcoal grill. Bring charcoal or pay $25 for coal and fluid from Dollar General that is maybe a 1/4 mile away. Better yet, bring a portable propane grill, which I wish we have. There is a gas station with pizza down the street too but that's it, of anything close by. Place was extremely clean throughout with towels, linens, dish soap, small shampoo and bar of soap. Central and window air conditioners. Fire pit with wood for sale at nearby houses for $3 an armload!
