The home was very warm and inviting. Braj was attentive to our needs; snacks left on the kitchen counter, fresh water bottles in every bedroom. We had a foot of snow fall one night during our stay and a plow was scheduled the next day to clean the driveway

Beautiful newer house in a beautiful spacious property. Fully equipped and nicely decorated!! My family had an amazing weekend celebrating family.
We took a family trip to visit our daughter who attends SUNY New Paltz. The house accommodated our party of 8 perfectly and was in a great location! We are already talking about staying there again when visiting in the future.
We travelled with two other couples and everyone had their own space, privacy and yet we all hung out in the living/kitchen dining room both days! The house was spotless and the owner answered any questions within minutes!
The perfect property for another Leadership Summit located on a quiet dead end road. The back elevated deck was perfect for late dinner meetings and the kitchen was amazing4 comfortable bedrooms and a bonus gym in the garage.
We were in town with 3 generations of the family plus our dog, and everyone had a great time at the house and spacious property. It had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend and I could see us coming back in the future.
We had to stage for a wedding at this place, and it was absolutely fabulous. There was plenty of room. The kitchen was amazing. The house was clean. It was beautifully decorated plenty of room for people to come and go.We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. We would definitely stay here again. The homeowner was extremely helpful. Extremely kind and hospitable! It was an amazing stay. Probably our favorite place we stayed at.
Relaxed environment.
Close to poughkeepsie, new palz and the Gunks.
Great location for hiking and visiting the parks and hudson valley highlights. Property manager is very ressponsive.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at this large, modern, super clean house. Just 15 minutes outside of New Paltz the house was in a great location on a large property. The house was large with comfortable couches and beds. We didn’t take advantage of the large well stocked kitchen, but next time we will. Great communication from the ownerhighlyrecommended
This home is absolutely beautiful and extremely clean!! It is spacious with an open floor plan. The four of us were very comfortable. The kitchen was awesome! It was well stocked and spotless. We had everything we needed to cook some meals. We loved watching the deer in the backyard each morning from the kitchen window and sliding glass door on the deck. The property is very private and quiet. Braj was a great host. He checked in with me to see if we needed anything during our stay and told me to reach out if he could help us in any way. He made check in and check out a breeze. I highly recommend this property. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you, Braj.
Quiet, secluded - a roomy house with massive yard, good deck and excellent dining table. We found almost every thing we needed and everything else at the grocery store such as plastic storage containers and Kleenex. A few touches would add to this comfort such as chairs in the bedrooms and suit hangers. The owners were terrifically responsive and went out of their way to make it easy and safe for our toddler. We really appreciated their efforts.
Your home is lovely, very clean, and comfortable. There were six of us and we managed quite well and never seemed to get in each other's way. The only thing that we would improve is enough hot water for a shower. We apologize for not letting you know when we left as we did not see the text until the next day.
We rented the property with just 24 hour notice as we were traveling for a funeral. The house was spotless and a welcome basket with snacks and wine were on the counter. The beds were so comfortable. The huge amount of land was perfect for catch with our dog! Our granddaughter loved the stuffies in the downstairs suite. Top of the line for appliances and dishes. Supplies like tea and coffee with cream were a welcome sight. Thoughtful touches like water bottles on each bed stand. We stay in VRBO at least 3 times a year over the past fifteen years. This is one of the best ever. No need to pack shampoo conditioner or body wash. It is there! More towels than you could ever use. We will rent again without a doubt.
This home is perfect for any stay! The hosts were attentive, gracious, and generous. The home had the perfect accommodations for all 8 of us; it was clean, comfortable and relaxing.
There were bookshops, cafes, and even a homemade chocolatier shop in one direction and the amazing Shadows on the Hudson Restaurant in the other direction.
We watched a movie with recliner seats and complimentary popcorn, enjoyed our complimentary coffee on the back deck, we grilled out, played board games, and we wandered through the bookstores and shops.
The house sits back, away from the road, giving a feeling of being away from it all. I watched the geese fly overhead in their perfect V. Yet, this home is a train ride to the Big Apple or a short car ride to cities or small towns.
I would highly recommend this home for its hosts, the convenient, yet get-away feel of its location, for the perfect size for our group of 8, the cleanliness and comfort -- it was a perfect get-away in every way!!
We took the rental so our family could celebrate Thanksgiving together. The grandkids are in college in the city and couldn’t escape for very long. The owner allowed us to check in a little early as we were coming straight from JFK. Altho we didn’t cook our turkey dinner at the house we could have if we wanted to. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans and serving dishes and utensils beyond expectation! There are basic necessities such as coffee, tea, sugar and cooking oil and more available. Living room sofa is large enough to accommodate our gang for a family movie. Bedrooms were comfy and clean and everyone had their space.
We traveled to Buttermilk Falls Spa to dine at their Henry's at the Farm for our holiday dinner. Terrific! And also try Fazio Farms for barbque, cant beat it
The property met all our expectations. Highly recommend you try it if this is a rental you are considering
Pet friendly, the yard was spacious and private. The kitchen was well equipped with some limitations with regard to basic cooking tools such as larger pots and pans. Beautiful island but bar stools would added to the comfort of the kitchen.
This property is everything the description states and more. It was quiet, private, and well kept. The sheets felt like silk and the local coffee was yummy. Would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

We were in town for a family wedding and shared the house with our adult children and spouses. The house was clean, and well laid out, and the kitchen had all the plates, utensils and cooking gear needed for our two night stay. The host, Brad, was very friendly and communicated well and was clearly concerned to make sure everything went well. We would stay here again.
