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.

Relaxing and picturesque stay near...

Liked: 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.
Disliked: One of the nights we stayed there was a storm that cut power to the resort for around 2 hours. It happened during dinner service at the restaurant on our last night. The storm affected the grid, so I guess it couldn't be helped. But staff were very good about it and comped our drinks, which helped to make up for it.
