4 Bedroom Cottage in Watkins Glen, Reading

Welcome to Dean Lake House! Built in 1850, this unique, historic home features large bay windows to accent the outstanding lake view and upscale, modern conveniences. Whether you are touring the wine trail or just looking for a family getaway, this place is for you!
As you enter the main floor, a spiral staircase leads to the second floor and a formal dining room with a beautiful cherry dining set greets you. The kitchen is right off the dining room, providing convenience and plenty of counter space for preparing meals. A small table with seating for 4 overlooks the lake in the breakfast nook. The large living room and separate sitting area offer plenty of lounging space for guests and breathtaking views from the bay windows. The first floor bedroom off the sitting area features a queen bed, serene lake views, and attached bathroom with Jacuzzi tub/shower combo, vanity, and commode.
At the top of the winding staircase is a large bedroom with king bed and lake-facing balcony where guests can enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the Seneca Lake sunrises. Across the hall is a full bathroom with shower/tub combo, commode, and vanity. An additional bedroom at the end of the hall offers a double bed, closet, and limited lake view.
Between the kitchen and dining room is a staircase that leads down to the partially finished basement. Here you will find a fourth bedroom at the end of the stairs, semi private with low ceilings-a perfect space for children to play and has a queen sleeper sofa for extra sleeping. The bedroom leads into a small enclosed area with cabinets and countertops to use for buffet style meals. A half bath is located at the south end of this floor, and an access door from the enclosed porch leads directly out to the partially covered veranda overlooking the lake.
The inviting veranda is perfect for outdoor entertaining. With a length of over 40 feet, there is plenty of room for everyone to gather and enjoy the view from the multiple patio sets. The lakefront expands over 350 feet, and is mostly level with a natural entry. A permanent dock is available for swimming, sunning, or fishing.

Summary: Location was amazing, house was clean and roomy. The only bad thing was the parking garage . It’s not too close to house and instructions to open it were never conveyed through the email . We had to contact maintenance to see how to work the garage doors . They did answer promptly. Overall it was a pretty view and relaxing atmosphere.

Summary: This house was exactly what we were looking for. It was spacious and had a large property to be able to spread out. It’s also within walking distance to downtown/the pier. Beautiful stay!

Summary: The location was fantastic. Right on the water, 1/2 Mile walk to town. The kitchen was out fitted with just about everything anyone would need. The train coming by was really no big deal. Actually kind of exciting. Parking was a little different, garage was just past the house, plus you cannot park in front of the house. But other then that it was great to have a garage to park in. The bedroom upstairs with the King Bed, was really nice and comfy, the other two bedrooms not so much, a bit firmer of a matress then expected. It could use a pillow topper, could help that problem.

Summary: The house is in a great location! Since it's right on the bottom of the lake it's walkable to Watkins Glen. It had stunning views and is very quiet. The house is big enough to accommodate 10 people but there are only 3 true bedrooms and 2 pull out couches that weren't very comfortable. Luckily, my family is in the area and I was able to borrow an air mattress from them. If I was to stay here again I'd probably want a smaller group so we could all have a bedroom. Everything else was lovely.

Summary: It was a nice property right on the lake, the train did go past twice on Sat. AM. The carpet could use a good cleaning, several stains. There were no coffee filters for the coffee maker, the tea kettle had a hole in it so we tossed that out after having all of the water leak all over the stove. The garage was not apparent to us for the parking, it is to the left beyond some hedges along the road but not easy to notice unless you look for it. Also, the battery was taken out of the key code pin pad for the garage so we could not park in the garage. (We did not let the rental co. know that) The master bedroom mattress was very soft. The pillows with shams on them had no pillowcases?? The recyclables apparently were not picked up from the last rental? There was a large outside garbage can overflowing and a large box of recyclables along the front walkway. As VRBO rental owners ourselves maybe we notice more of these things? Overall a nice location, easy to walk to town, nice enough property, but for the nightly cost we felt it could use a little TLC and some updated furniture
