Finger Lakes Waterfall Resort

Trying to find a place to stay on a Saturday night in August, on the east side of Seneca lake, is next to impossible. Thankfully, the resort had one room available, so we got it.  The hotel is kind of rough on the outside, but we were happy with our stay.  Room was very basic,  but we had a fridge, coffee maker, and everything was very clean.  Beds were super-comfortable!  There was a place to sit outside with coffee and beautiful view of lake in the morning. We didn't have time to check out the falls or path to lake.  Location was perfect for our needs. Price was based on location, so acceptable.

This is a great lodging if you’re looking for a place that isn’t too pricey and offers a great location and wonderful views! Just a few minutes drive to Watkins Glen and the National Forest Park. It is at the start of the East Seneca Wine Trail. It’s right off the highway, just like the other properties that are along the wine trail.

The best part about this hotel is that you can really make the most of the property. There are campgrounds where you can have a bonfire, or relax on the hammocks and chairs. A gorgeous waterfall sits along the property itself. The porches/deck are perfect for sitting and relaxing to take in the views of Lake Seneca. It was not crowded at all when we stayed and the place was very quiet. The employees are friendly and truly want you to enjoy your time there. We were invited to check in an hour early with no issue. 

The room was fine, clean in general though the shower handles could use some scrubbing. The refrigerator is in the bathroom which some people may find perturbing. The room has a coffee maker and coffee. A hair dryer is available and soap and shampoo are given. 

Overall it is a great place to stay! I hope this place becomes more popular because it deserves your business!

Very nice people. The renovations continue but owner was working on outdoor flowerbeds when we arrived.  The rooms are not extravagant so if that's what your looking for move on. But, if you want a clean decent place with an awesome view of lake and steps to a beautiful waterfall then you found the place.  There was a beautiful stone cross at the very tip of the waterfall when we arrived (someone was brave to memorialize or just make a statement) which made an awesome photo for us to take home.  The next day it was destroyed and the owners had to retrieve their lawn furniture from the flat  portion of the fall because guest placed them there.  UNFORTUNATELY, some people have no respect and you can't fix stupid.  Overall this  place was worth what we paid , central location and minutes from downtown Watkins Glen.  I will go back.

Don't understand the poor reviews on this place.  While not 5-star accommodations, it is very nice for an old-school Catskills/Adirondacks type of place.  The place is old and Johnathon is renovating .  it is not the Ritz Carlton and they don't claim to be.  Our room was clean with expansive views of the lake and waterfall.  It was our 35th wedding anniversary and we were passing through Watkins Glen for one night.  Johnathon was very nice and allowed us to stay one night in what was probably his best room.  Will definitely stay here again if in the area.

What a view

Wonderful views

Jonathan was very pleasant and handled the arrangements without incident. when we finally arrived, he was ready with the key. The room was the smallest, and we knew it, but we came for the view and the access to Hector Falls. The building is aged, so don't be surprised when you get there... it felt like the youthful days of camping.... go for a well-deserved respite and connection to nature.

The surrounding nature is breath-taking

The view of the lake and Hector Falls is pretty special, but the property itself is sorely neglected.  I'm sure it was beautiful when it was built 50 years ago.  Too bad it hasn't been kept up.  Also, for whatever reason, the owner had some kind of burn pile smoldering  during our stay, which stunk like a landfill fire.  With that eye-watering, putrid stench going on all weekend, it just seemed natural that other guests sat outside their rooms smoking cigarettes right next to the sign saying no smoking on premises.

Beautiful view, but ...

We booked the hotel through Expedia in the morning. We travelled the 3 hours on a motorcycle, unfortunately it began to rain  so by the time we arrived it was pouring and we were soaked, we arrived at 3:30pm the parking lot was roped off so we had to park on the side of a busy highway.  The office door was locked, we banged on the door repeatedly no one came to answer. We walked around the property looking for someone to help us, all in the pouring rain. No one was around all doors we tried were locked. The place looked closed. We left to find new hotel. We called expedia, they informed us the hotel policy is no reimbursement, we called hotel, the hotel attendant said he would not reimburse our fee to contact expedia,  both expedia and hotel said it is up to the other for reimbursement.  My advise is to avoid this hotel completely!!!!!!
