We visited here to hike at Watkins Glen and also to break up the drive to Niagara Falls, and did not regret staying here. The property overlooks the lake - there is no lake access but there are nice trails that run to a creek and waterfall that makes for a nice hike. Rocky, the owner's chocolate lab, is such a sweet dog and we enjoyed having him around. We stayed in a room with a balcony that overlooks the lake, and it was nice in the evening to sit with a beer or wine and enjoy the view. The staff at the in-house restaurant was also very warm and attentive.

5 HUGE STARS!!! We had an absolutely incredible stay at Naturlux and Resort! From the moment we arrived, the owner made us feel so welcomed – her hospitality truly sets the tone for the whole experience. The facilities were immaculate, top-notch, and full of thoughtful touches that made everything so comfortable. The vibe of the resort was perfect – relaxed yet upscale. The rooms/tents were spotless, the beds extremely comfortable, and the entire place was pet-friendly, which was a huge bonus! The location is ideal, with so many fantastic restaurants and activities just a short distance away. Whether you’re looking for relaxation or adventure, this place has it all. I can’t recommend it highly enough – I’ll definitely be back! We love you Dawn ♥️

    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.

    Not long after we entered the park, we encountered heavy down pouring. Luckily we were inside the cave. We were frightened by the flood. But after a while, everything peaced down and despite the ground being very wet, we continued our hiking, which turned out to be AMAZING! The gorge, the waterfalls, and all the greeneries made this trip so memorable. The whole hike was not very hard, but you do need to pay more attention to the chipped and narrow walkway. The edge of some stone walls can be very sharp. There were many visitors at the first segment of the gorge trail, so mind your head and foot while passing others. Heard from the locals that fall is a better season with all the vibrant fall colours, so we definitely will come back.

    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
