What a fabulous hotel! The room, Jacuzzi tub, firepits, views, restaurant food, service... everything was top notch! We loved the location for checking out some of the nearby falls, towns, and restaurants. The Gorge is a 7 minute walk from the hotel and well worth a visit! Highly recommend this hotel!

fun glamming for the first time!! the down comforter and hot water bottles kept me warm in the bed on the first cool and rainy weekend of the Fall. the bathrooms are modern and convenient. the property is located next to the Watkins Glen international raceway where I was racing and is minutes to downtown Watkins Glen. The tent was cozy and there were fire pits and wood for nice fires. the owner stays on the property and is very attentive to your needs.

I always love the view of being able to step outside of my room and see all of the lake. The best sunrise you will ever see! It’s only 8 rooms which means it’s not crowded with people and it’s very quiet. They also redid the bathrooms from my previous time there and they look amazing!

    The Vintage Grand Prix weekend at Watkins Glen was on our bucket list for several years, and it was very much worth the wait. The Friday events included the vintage race through the downtown, and it was amazing to see all the old race/sports cars thundering down the main drag. The historic recreation of the technical inspection of the pre-war cars at Smalley's Garage was the highlight of Friday's events. It was awesome to be able to walk the stunning falls in the morning, browse the shops in the afternoon and view the vintage race at 6pm. The array of bars and restaurants with so many cuisine choices was quite amazing for such a quaint business district.

    Beautiful town that we are planning to visit again in the near future. We felt our weekend stay was too short. There is more to enjoy that just the gorge and waterfalls at the State Park (which in and of itself is a great experience). We stayed at Lakeside Resort which is top notch. Watkins Glen has several restaurants which are high quality. Even the cafe of the State Park served delicious sandwiches. Several vineyards are accessible from village. Corning is also close by and the Museum is worth a visit.

    Even in winter, the waterfalls and lake are beautiful. Expect most of the main trails to be closed, so plan a few extra things to do. Walking around the town and shops, walk along the lake at state parks, visit Corning Museum of Glass, ski, tube or ride a mountain coaster are all within great distance!

    Watkins Gen is a small town but has everything in walking distance from food, drinks, shopping and State Park and is a great place to stay after touring the wineries of Seneca Lake. I always stop in Columbia Sportswear Company, a neat store with tons of clothing selections. Two recommendations for places to eat Jerlando's and Thai Elephants.

    The state park is exceptional, we were there last year, but didn’t have time to do the whole length of the gorge trail, so had to come back. Loved it both times. Staying in Watkins Glen just made it easy.

    Loved This Place! Stay Here!!! Property Owner/Host Marcus is wonderful! He upgraded our room upon arrival. Great and helpful information on Idlwilde Inn's website regarding house and grounds, Watkins Glen. Check it out before you book. Beyond charming property, delicious breakfast, coffee and tea available 24/7, within walking distance from town (it is on a hill, so anyone with impaired mobility would need to take a car), convenient parking.

    Breakfast was perfect - Dining with the other guests made it really special, talking about our days ahead, and getting to know people from all around the States, as well as the hosts. Watkins Glen, and Lake Seneca - are excellent places - Wineries, Breweries, boat ride, as well as hiking on the trails kept us busy during our stay. Really enjoyable stay

    Location was OK. You could walk to downtown in a pinch but the street in front of the hotel is literally the main street in town and traffic is bad. Many transport trucks as it's the only easy way for them to get through the town and many of them do not respect the non-use of compression brakes meaning it is very noisy at times.
