We needed a so long over due get away. My husband, sister and her husband. We picked Idlwilde from its reviews and we were not disappointed. First of all, from the outside the inn is magnificently standing on top of the hillside overlooking beautiful Seneca Lake. We pulled up to the inn and the hostess (Maria)met us in the driveway... more

From arrival to departure our hosts met our needs happily. Terrific breakfasts every day. We stayed on the third floor in a room with a great view of the Seneca Lake. Today we watched the mist rise off the lake as the sun rose. After breakfast we would take our coffee out onto the porch and sit a while enjoying... more

Fantastic!!

Pros: A beautiful property, generally well maintained, spotless, in a quiet location, in a central location within the Finger Lakes. Cons: When that type of property is almost empty for the upcoming mid-week at the peak of the summer season, that says something is wrong. People vote with their feet. I just didn't feel comfortable during my stay. There are... more

For a short September holiday, three couples visited the Watkins Glen area for a few days. Our stay at Idlewilde was one of the highlights of our visit. We live in the Thousand Islands in Canada so we know about beautiful places but we were all very impressed with the natural beauty and tranquility of the area. The view from... more

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the Idlewilde Inn for 5 days while attending an event held at the nearby race track. First of all the property is beautiful---when you pull in the driveway you know that you arrived to someplace special. The inn has great presence and charming interior. We had room #6 which was... more

Having been to Watkins Glen many times, always staying at one of the many hotel/motel/lodges, I decided to try something different. The Idlwilde Inn sits on a beautiful site high above the lake and has the old-world appearance and grandeur of a stately mansion. The decor and furnishings are excellent, the property is very well maintained with the amenities travelers... more

I found Idlwilde inn while looking for B&B's in Watkins Glen, NY. Idlwilde was one of the recommended B&B's on the website for "Farm Sanctuary" and after reviewing the other options in town, it was easy to see that Idlwilde was the most beautiful. The photos didn't fully prepare me for the grandeur of this lovely Victorian mansion. The master... more
