    These cottages are so cute and affordable! Perfect way to get into a "Finger Lakes" state of mind. Wayne was so helpful and made great recommendations for restaurants, wineries and other attractions. The location of Catharine Cottages is a great launching point for Watkins Glen, Ithaca and both Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay!

    My husband and I were taking a vacation to Maine and we rented a cottage here as an alternative to a hotel room. The cottage was warm and cozy and the innkeepers were very friendly and helpful. They even provided us with roasting sticks and we roasted hot dogs over an outdoor fire. It was a beautiful evening and what a delight it was NOT to be staying at a hotel! Thank you!

    Despite a subtropical storm in upstate New York, my wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Catharine Cottages in Montour Falls. Wayne and Laura did everything imaginable to make our stay enjoyable, including loaning us their personal boots after the rain. The next day they had the grounds so clean you had to look closely to see any signs of water. The cabins are clean, cozy, comfortable, and quiet. The only sound is the creek flowing past the porch. Each morning we would make cups of the provided gourmet coffee and sit on the porch watching the water and listening to the birds. While staying at the Cottages, we visited Watkins Glen State Park for hiking, several Wineries up and down 14, four beautiful waterfalls, and Watkins Glen racetrack.
