The house has two porches, an enormous master bath, and a beautiful fire pit with seating and all the wood you can burn. We easily fit four cars in the driveway. The property is home to a LOT of wildlife. I saw bullfrogs, Muscovy Ducks, cats, skunks, squirrels, and numerous other birds. A member of our party even saw a black bear cub! Oh, and the raspberries and blackberries that Ed grows on the property were delicious. All the houses on the property are connected by a short, well-maintained trail system. There are several benches, picnic tables and even a few fire pits within the trail system, which also has built in lighting if you want to venture out at night! My highlight was enjoying my coffee while listening to a chorus of birds and frogs at the duck pond one morning. A brilliant way to start one's day!

The lodging in Hammondsport, specifically these places, are my go-to considering they are like small homes. So cute and cozy, and the owners will never do you wrong!

I highly recommend the Hammondsport Lodging to locals looking to get away from their usual routines, and to tourists looking for an amazing visit they'll never want to end. 5 STARS!! :D

I have lived in the same apartment for several years now. The apartment itself has been great. The…read morespace was in excellent condition when we moved in and maintenance for physical repairs on/in the apartment has been prompt. The community and amenities on the whole are excellent, and at $1390 for a 2-bedroom apartment the rent is no more absurd than it is everywhere nowadays. The process to actually get a lease was very taxing due to the income/credit/age restrictions, but once we moved in we've had no problems on that front. Where I have had problems is with maintenance responses to things like noise complaints. I've submitted multiple complaints due to neighbors playing loud music at unreasonable hours and every single time the maintenance person brushes it off. Our neighbors in an adjacent unit played the TV in their bedroom so loudly I couldn't sleep. Called maintenance when nobody responded to my knocking on the neighbor's door. Maintenance response? "That's not enough to qualify as a noise complaint. It has to be, like, shaking the walls loud. Muffled sounds are just part of apartment living." Our lease EXPLICITLY prohibits noise being played loud enough that people in adjacent units or the hallway can hear it between 10pm and 8am. Yet maintenance says "sorry, I can't do anything about that." So don't expect any support for noise complaints, and don't pay too much attention to all the specific addendums to the lease, because Rustic Village doesn't lift a finger to enforce them. Living here was great until it became clear that our landlords didn't really care about our experiences in the community as tenants, and maintenance is not reliable for support that is not for something physically broken or dysfunctional. I'm hoping to move in the near future to be in a better environment.

We enjoyed a private wine tour with a driver from the hotel, and we're thankful for the free shuttle to get us too and from a concert at CMAC.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating, I would highly recommend the lake house.

Okay, but the best part is that they wanted a grand a night, my guess is that it doesn't include tax and fees either. It is a nice location but it's a hotel plain and simple with average rooms.

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!

We had a very disappointing experience with this rental. Both septic tanks were almost full when we…read morearrived, and the smell inside the boat was terrible. The owner was aware of this and expected us to spend part of our 3-day trip going out of our way to pump out the tanks, which really cut into our plans. The bow thrusters didn't work, which made it extremely hard (and sometimes unsafe) for us as beginners to handle such a long canal boat through locks and docks. On top of that, the bikes listed in the rental weren't there, and instead of the promised refrigerator, we were given a cooler with ice. While the owner did have explanations for these issues, he never gave us a heads-up before we arrived, nor did he offer any partial or full refund. Between the missing amenities, broken equipment, and the sewage issue, the whole trip fell far short of what was advertised, and we returned the boat after one day. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this rental.

Watching the wildlife and beautiful countryside drift buy was truly a relaxing experience. At times we felt like we were traversing an amazon river, as we were the only boat on the water. This is the ONLY rental boat the owner has, and he personally handles your reservation. Thanks Gary Ezell for the wonderful, once in a lifetime experience!
