Rural setting in gateway to Finger Lakes Details: I am a regular RV'er and owner of a Winnebago View. Our setting is not the most scenic but we are only about 5 miles off I 86 and 20 minutes south of Watkins Glen. We are in a valley away from most traffic with plenty of deer, fox and other critters to entertain. Our hobbies include boating, kayaking, car restoration and dog rescue. Home Town: We live in Horseheads NY. Favorite Boondocking Locations: New to boondocking...will update this profile as I get better at it. Skills or Expertise to Share: I have acquired and eclectic set of hobbies over the years and would be happy to talk about anything really. I'm an engineer working in manufacturing. My husband restores and races cars. I have done lots of running and triathlons. At home I have done scrapbooking, quilting, music and flower gardening. I have been heavily involved with dog rescue.

Very nice, arrived right at dark and had a little trouble deciding where to exactly to park, but once I figured it out, it was great. Corning Glass Musuem, and the Rockwell (not Norman) Musuem where just Fabulous, plus the surrounding historic area is Wonderful. Watkins Glen is a very nice area. Host were great and helped find things... g.

We regret falling asleep at a rest stop on our way to Valley Retreats, but the host was fantastic in communicating with us and accomodating our last minute (potential) stay. Thank you very much and we have saved this spot for a future stop. Parking and Access rated from photos and communication about same.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Was a perfect location to stay in order to visit Corning and Watkins Glen. Both very easy drives and beautiful day trips. Thank you for generously sharing your property!
