Our daughter was getting married in the area and this house served us well to accommodate our family plus location was ideal for proximity to wedding venue. Host was great. Quick to respond.
Beautiful accomodations in a quiet setting but still close to many wonderful towns. Food shopping, local winery super convenient.
Thanks for a great stay!
This is a beautiful house and property for a big group family / friends vacation. The land and views are wonderful, there is plenty of space for folks to spread out, including 2 living areas, the kitchen is spacious and well-equipped and the heated pool, barrel sauna, and fire pit made for the most fantastic vacation.
We had a wonderful time in this house! It's large enough for a bunch of unrelated adults to feel comfortable, and has plenty of private spaces as well as communal ones. Communication with the host was excellent--quick and helpful. This is our second time staying here, and we'd be happy to do so again!
Well appointed, comfortable house. We had a gathering of family from near and far and the house provided a perfect opportunity to laugh, share, eat, and play. Everything was as described. We had a great stay.
We were visiting the area for a wedding and this house was amazing for our group of 11. Lots of room, very clean and the owners were incredibly responsive. The property is gorgeous and the screened porch was great during a rainy weekend. Wish our schedules allowed us to stay longer, would love to go back!
This property was excellent for our family of 13 plus two dogs. We loved having a great t.v. room where kids could play and a second living area for the adults. Well equipped with games and puzzles. Great location for bucolic road walks. Summer would be great.
The property is beautiful and peaceful. We really enjoyed sitting outside by the pool and taking walks in the area. The house is a bit dated, but it's very comfortable and has a lot of space. The drive to Hudson was convenient, and we enjoyed several excellent dinners and walking around the cute town. Joshua was very pleasant and responded quickly to any questions we had.
It's a great house for a family vacation. Lots of bedroom space and bathrooms. Essentially all on one floor. Beautiful pool and sauna. Great screened in porch with built-in grill. Well stocked kitchen. Two sets of washers and dryers. Location is a bit isolated.
Our group of 13 enjoyed the home and pool in Ghent. We were able to enjoy the area during the day, and return to a home that suited our needs well. We had an issue with a AC that Josh had taken care of during our time there. He was professional and quick to respond with any questions during our stay.
We stayed at the house with extended family for a ski trip weekend at Catamount. The drive was 30mins away and the house a wonderful place to relax together after a long day on the mountain. The house is spacious, bright, clean and tastefully decorated. The layout is comfortable and practical. The lovely, open-kitchen was well-equipped and allowed us all to gather and chat pre and post dinner. The sauna is a great perk with gorgeous views! Highly recommend! Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the pool.
The overall experience was wonderful! I asked the owner many questions throughout the process and he always responded promptly and was very kind. The yard was wonderful for the kids and the dogs! The screened in porch was a huge hit for everyone. The bugs could get a bit much so having that area was amazing. We loved cooking in the big kitchen and using the large grill! Our family was looking for a house all on one floor and didn’t realize there were a couple steps up to the living room area/laundry. It would have been nice if there was more than one TV in the house and if some of the beds were bigger but overall it was a great visit!
Beautiful property, amazing pool and well decorated
We were a group of 11 adults, a 3 year old, a 6 month old baby and a dog celebrating my mom’s birthday. The house was spacious and had ample space for our families to spread out. The pool was fantastic and clean. A major rainstorm came through the area so we lost power the first 24 hours but our host was very communicative, checked in with us and kindly offered to extended our stay. The house has several 500, 1000 piece puzzles and we discovered how much we loved puzzles while waiting for the power company to restore power in the area.
I would still highly recommend this home despite the one-off power outage. It’s beautifully decorated, great appliances and well equipped for a lovely family gathering.
We had a good stay. Property was as seen in pictures and on-line description. A very pretty and relaxing setting wi the daily visits from the neighboring peacocks. We had a few minor issues which the owner quickly addressed. Only drawback we identified is the bathroom layout. Two of the three full baths were en suite - leaving four bedrooms to share the remaining full bath. There was a half bath that helped. Also, only one bath had a walk-in shower. We had several seniors which created a little shower gridlock - especially since the other full baths were a bit slippery.
Wonderful home for our group trip. Very well stocked kitchen and amenities, beautiful estate. Host was very quick to communicate. We had a great relaxing weekend!
Great house with lots of room for the whole family!! Very clean and well equipped! Everyone enjoyed the pool and the sauna! So many places to hike and explore! The owner was very responsive to any questions.
4.5 STARS. We loved the open living spaces, the well-stocked kitchen, the comfortable beds, the heated pool, and the fire pit for stargazing. While a few minor areas could use some maintenance, overall we truly enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect spot for a family reunion with 11 people, kids, and our dog. Ghent is full of the friendliest people—my son even made a jogging buddy with a neighbor!
The home was welcoming and warm. The location was perfect and we totally enjoyed the peacocks and peahens roaming around to greet us in the morning.
the house layout was great for the family and especially for the young ones. Hope to book again.
Short weekends w/ friends and family. Home had a nice spacious open kitchen to cook and enjoy our meals together. We skied at Catamount ski mountain which was 20 minutes away.
Home is well furnished and cozy.
Overall great weekend
The house, pool and grounds are beautiful, and provide everything that a large family gathering might need. There are many different areas for people to gather and also to find room to be alone. The owners were responsive and helpful. The house is well located close to necessary facilities,,, and interesting places to explore.
My friends and I had a fantastic stay. The house is pristine and has spacious bedrooms and more than enough room for a large group. The screened in porch was great for us to hang out and enjoy the beautiful weather. The pool wasn't open because we were visiting too early in the season, but we still enjoyed sitting outside near it. The kitchen was clean, and equipped with everything we needed for our stay.
The house is nearby Hudson which was great to visit, and the hosts offered to send us recommendations as well. They were super responsive and helpful before and during our stay.
I'd say if you're looking for a home that has a lot of space, is clean, and is good for a big group, don't hesitate and book now!
