The Spotlight on Lakeside Resort

Peaceful, Scenic Stay Just Minutes from the Music

Modern meets nature at Lakeside Resort, a relaxing getaway nestled in 30 acres of gardens, walking trails, and waterfalls in Watkins Glen. Just 5 miles from Watkins Glen International—home to major concerts and events—you’ll find cozy rooms, a friendly vibe, and plenty of outdoor space to recharge after a big night out. Free WiFi, in-room coffee machines, and flat-screen TVs make this a comfort-first pick for music fans who like their stay as chill as their playlists.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive from the area’s top venues, yet the resort’s tucked-away location means you’ll enjoy a quiet night’s sleep after the encore. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM gives you time to settle in before a show, and the 11:00 AM check-out means you won’t be rushed the next morning. With hiking trails and waterfalls on-site, it’s a great way to decompress after high-energy music events. Bonus: it’s easy to coordinate rideshares or drive yourself with free on-site parking.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a nature-meets-music weekend
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show
  • Couples pairing a concert with a relaxing getaway
  • Fans wanting a scenic, low-key recovery spot
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room comes with a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker—perfect for late-night snacks or next-morning fuel. You’ll find local cafés and eateries just minutes away in downtown Watkins Glen, many offering breakfast hours that start late enough for post-gig sleep-ins. BBQ grills on-site also make for a fun DIY meal option if you’re staying with a group.

Nightlife Options

The resort itself is a tranquil retreat, so you won’t find live music or a buzzing bar scene on-site—but that’s kind of the point. Just head into Watkins Glen for bars, wineries, and live music spots that are only a short drive away. It’s easy to have a fun night out, then come back to the calm of the resort.

What People Say

Guests rave about the peaceful surroundings, clean and comfortable rooms, and the friendly, welcoming staff. Many mention the beautiful trails and waterfalls as a highlight, with several saying it’s the perfect place to unwind after a concert. The location also gets high marks for being close to both venues and local attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Because the resort is more of a nature retreat, it doesn’t offer things like 24/7 dining or an on-site bar. Some guests noted that it can be a little quiet for those wanting a party vibe—but that’s part of the charm if you're after post-show serenity.

The Bottom Line

For music fans who love the energy of a concert but want a peaceful place to recharge, Lakeside Resort is a perfect balance of location, comfort, and nature.

A great find for our...

Liked: From the moment we arrived we knew we chose the right place. We were welcomed warmly, briefed on everything we needed, and given extra accoutrements for our pup. The room was amazing, only surpassed by the view. Wonderful area for pups to run and trails to explore. The restaurant was not only convenient but had so many choices (even for dogs) and wonderful servers. Shout out to Brenna who was our server many times. But all staff were friendly and made you feel at home.
Disliked: Only because it was so peaceful, the bullfrog seemed so loud. :)

Memorable, worth returning to for...

Liked: The chalet/cottage was excellent. It was spacious, simple but aesthetically pleasing. The furniture and appliances were modern and uptodate. The living area opens to a small patio overlooking Lake Seneca. The hiking trail led you to a beautiful cascading stream that transformed to a waterfall. They have a restaurant in the property that is upscale, that opens to a deck and there is fire pit on the grounds you can also enjoy. That staff made you feel welcome and attended to. The property is very near Watkins Glens State Park and several vineyards. However, you can just stay inside the resort and feel contented with your experience.
Disliked: That I could not have stayed longer, but we are planning to go back

Unfortunately disappointing. Choose the room...

Liked: Great location and comfortable beds. Lovely restaurant on site. Lots of open space.
Disliked: Our property was very dark and had no private outdoor space. The sound proofing between properties was very poor and we were woken at 4am twice by neighbours and could clearly hear the man snoring next door! Unfortunately our property had no view of the lake and the creekside was no compensation!
