    Chairs on the dock
    Laura M.

    What a gem of a place! Highly recommend - we enjoyed our stay and the unique yurt experience. It was a good value and the staff was very kind and welcoming to our group. The fire pit in the front and Adirondack chairs on the dock by the water were a fan favorite. Bottled water was included and our yurt had all the amenities we needed. Everything was as expected and we enjoyed the keyless entry and simple check-in too.

    Our yurt
    Ruth H.

    We stayed at a yurt while visiting a friend who lives in a small cottage (too small for us to sleep there) down the road. We loved the yurt!! There was a queen bed for hubby and me and a futon for my 6-year-old and the dog. We even had plenty of room to add the pack n play for my 1-year-old. The site was beautiful! We didn't get to go in the pool but wish we had more time to do that. The dock on the lake was stunning. I spent time there journaling, reading and relaxing. I was able to buy a bottle of wine from the shop (although it was marked up quite a bit). We got the breakfast buffet in the restaurant one of the days we were there and it would've been fine if it were free... but it was definitely not worth $15 a person we were charged. Oh well. That was the only downside. Everything else was great!

    Heating and Cooling for Yurt 2
    Courtney H.

    This review is specifically written for a YURT. GLAMPING: Lovingly referred to as Yurts, this little tent is hotel meets tent. Luxury camping is the idea. As it sounds like, the walls are the same fabric as a circus tent. Natural light can be let in through optional zipper windows and a translucent skylight. There are two sleeping options LOCATION: There are 6 yurts located behind the parking lot. Leading from the gravel lot is a gravel pathway with Yurt 1 being the closest to the parking lot and Yurts 5 and 6 being farthest and closes to the back wood. There is fire pit located closer to Yurt 3 and 4 and will stay lit until 11pm. AMENITIES: As mentioned there is a gas fire pit but what sets the yurts apart from the hotel rooms is the fact that there is a microwave and mini-refrigerator in the room! There is also a small high top table with four bar stools for eating, a futon with extra sheets provided for additional sleeping, and a full and spacious bathroom with shower (no bathtub). The bathroom is enclosed so there is no worries about the whole yurt getting humid if someone is taking a hot shower. No continental breakfast but their restaurant Sapalta offers pastries for purchase and coffee (not on the cheap side). PRICE/RESERVATIONS: It seems that other than Sunday the Yurt rentals are 2 might minims. Also, Friday and Saturday night are and about an additional $100 more, give or take. Still the cheaper option of all the types of rooms. TIPS: While the stay here provided all the necessities, here are some tips to make your stay more comfortable: -Bring slippers! Then mats are all that protect your feel from the hard cold concrete floor especially during the fall or winter. There is an optional portable heater that could warm the yurt but concrete stays cold. - Keep your front door shades drawn. Random patrons who are not staying in Yurts will walk straight up to your door and look into your room through the windows. Awkward. -If traveling with cribs or pet beds, there is plenty of space to set up and still have room to move around. In conclusions: It is perhaps worth it to book early and check other places if you are looking for a better deal than a $150+/night to stay in a fancy tent but if money is no object then Plum Point Lodge is a lovely little stay while you tour the wineries of Seneca Lake.

    Dock and view from room

    Beautiful hotel and grounds - clean and inviting. Dock by lake is relaxing. We have made it a return place to stay when coming to the area and love it. Perfect location for hiking and to get to the wineries and to close towns.

    Bed and cover full of someone else's hair

    For the amount of money that is spent to stay at your establishment, I would expect to stay in a clean room. My wife and I were immediately grossed out when we spotted all types of hair on the bed. On top of the covers and underneath. Considering the rest of the room "looked" clean, the bed sheets were either not changed after the previous customers had checked out or the washers and dryers on site are sub par. Nevertheless, we stopped by to see the manager on duty to explain the situation. Shortly after, she stopped by our room and dropped off replacement sheets which also contained some hair. After we changed the sheets ourselves we decided to spend the night. This made me not even mind that the AC sounded like a jet engine taking off every time it kicked on. The following morning we were told we would be contacted by the owner which never happened. We not only called and left messages which were not returned but we also emailed and received no replies there either. Please stay and spend your money elsewhere.

    The view from our table

    Giving this place 4 stars because the combo of solid diner-ish food, throw-back kitschy atmosphere and awesome view of Seneca Lake make for a really really enjoyable dining experience. The seasonal restaurant is attached to a kind of hotel/motel. They are open from Mother's Day to mid Oct (10/18/15 this year), and their rooms are booked solid a year in advance. The place has no access to lake swimming, but they do gave a pool and you can rent pontoon boats for $50 per hour. The view is the perfect lake view, though there is no outside dining - but a big bank of windows affords views from everywhere inside the joint. Out front they have a dock with chairs where you can sit in the sun, enjoy the boat traffic and digest. Food, well, really nothing special, only that it is totally solid diner fare. We had pancakes, home fries, eggs over easy and bacon plus English muffins, with endless cups of coffee. Portions were large, and for under $20, with tax and tip, it's a great deal. Right now, the bridge off The 'main' road (App--- something) to Rainbow Cove is out, so you have to enter at Plum Point Rd (off Rt. 14) then turn right at the end and it's on your right. We made the mistake of turning when we saw the huge sign off Rt. 14, ignored the 'bridge is out' sign, drove all the way down and had to turn around and drive back. From Geneva it's probably 20-30 min drive. Highly recommended!

    Nicely updated and right on the lake! Lovely!

Amenities inside the room were good. Not super modern, but everything was well kept up and clean. GREAT shower pressure. I really appreciated that they had large refillable soap/shampoo/conditioner mounted to the wall in the shower - those small one time use bottles are the worst. Our Vinter's Guestroom (the option with two beds) had a huge bathroom. I really appreciated the mini fridge. They greet you with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and there is also a free bottle of wine in your room - it's sweet wine, but if you don't roll that way (like us) you can exchange it for something else - which does have a cost depending on the bottle, but was worth it for us. You also get a free wine tasting with your stay.

The grounds are well manicured. The bed was comfortable and the pillows are plentiful. The location cannot be beat. We had dinner and drinks at the Blue Pointe Grille the night we arrived. I was a little hesitant to eat at the hotel restaurant. I was bracing to be disappointed. Service was on point and cocktails were well made. Food was delicious. We had a high top in the bar right near a window for a nice view of the lake. Highly recommend.

    It's rare that I'm dazzled by a hotel or feel that it's worth the money (they're all stupid…read moreexpensive these days), but Harbor Hotel was a wonderful experience I'd recommend to anyone. Don't get me wrong, it's expensive. But for once I felt like I'd gotten my money's worth! Everything everywhere was meticulously clean and well-kept. Our room was spacious and bright, with a private balcony and chairs, a couch and coffee table, and a full table that allowed us to take comfortable advantage of the room service breakfast. Potpourri sachets in the closet, free water bottles in the lobby, free coffee stations on each floor, and chocolates every night on the pillows--details, people! We also enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub, and of course the gorgeous patio and firepits overlooking the lake which was 80% of the reason we booked here. All of the staff we encountered, from the front desk to the housekeepers, were very friendly. I did think it was a little strange that the fitness center was in a whole different building and you have to walk across the parking lot to get to it, but hey--you get your steps in. The hotel is also very centrally located. On the water, of course, but next door to Seneca Harbor Station from which you can book lake cruises. It's also less than a mile from the entrance to Watkins Glen State Park and hiking trails and only a 5-10 minute walk from most restaurants. We did most things on foot. When you do get back in the car, there are multiple wineries within a 15-minute drive. The only problem the whole visit was the hotel internet, which was terrible every day. You could make do in the daytime, but at night, when everyone was back in their rooms after the day out exploring, it was slow to the point of unusable, and I ended up turning on my data hotspot to even be able to check my email. I would not suggest bringing time-sensitive work with you, and you should not expect to be able to stream videos on your devices. Just disconnect, you'll be less frustrated. There is an onsite restaurant and bar, and while it's nothing mind-blowing, it is a nice option to have (and is one of the few "higher end" type places in Watkins Glen). Menu includes a few of the standard local wines, which was nice!

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.

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.

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.
