I organized a family reunion here and it did not disappoint! Cozy, well maintained property with a beautiful front porch/ yard to enjoy. The hostess was very pleasant and helpful- would definitely visit again!

This is a beautifully laid out, spacious house with generous yard, and a charming, communicative and helpful hostess, Martha. Martha leaves the home in a warm, fully furnished, fully equipped, clean and tidy state that makes you feel you're staying with a close friend. It is well located with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling or skiing in the winter, with Woodstock within easy driving distance. Martha particularly deserves mention - she went out of her way to help our family enjoy our stay, including purchasing a desk to help my daughter with her studies. This exemplifies how Martha makes her clients feel at home.

Martha (Marty) is a wonderful hostess. All of our questions were answered immediately. The house is gorgeous and decorated delightfully. We spent so much time on the porch. Beautiful flowers, comfortable furniture, hummingbirds and even a baby bunny hopped up for taste of the trumpet flowers. There were only two of us but the house is big enough for plenty more. There are TV's in every bedroom. Air conditioners in all the bedrooms kept us cool even though temps were close to 100. The rest of the house felt cool and comfortable all day. Can't wait to go back as I wasn't able to soak in that amazing tub or use the fire pit as it was just too hot. The fire pit was all set up and ready to go - darn heat. The barn is so cute and looks so comfortable with a couple more beds and yes, a tv too. The yard is huge and perfect for a game of corn hole or whatever you have. Everything you need is there - sometimes in multiples. Kitchen is big and perfect for "group cooking". Absolutely can't go wrong staying here! I need to check availability and plan my next visit.

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful comfortable home and close to great trailheads.

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here! Very clean and spacious home with lots of charm. Martha is so helpful as well. I’d recommend this property to anyone visiting the Catskills.

We just finished a marvelous three night stay in Shandaken. Martha was quite possibly the best host I've ever had when renting a home- she was quick to reply with information and recommendations. She really took care of my Family. The house is outstanding- large, spacious and generously equipped with anything you'd need! Towels and paper products were abundant. We were able to use the washer dryer which was wonderful. The house is centrally located for hiking and restaurants and exploring the Catskills. We highly recommend Martha's home and hope to return again!

A perfect house for a big family. Many rooms and pretty spacious; truly felt like I was at home. Super close to Belleayre Mountain (5 min drive) and within 30 min to Hunter, Plattekill, and Windham. Cute, small town nearby with different restaurants and stores. The owner was absolutely delightful and responded very quickly to any of my questions/concerns. For sure will definitely come back again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious. I particularly enjoyed the very large dining room as a comfortable spot for hanging out and actually conversing with my family, and the stone fireplace, claw foot tub, and nice linens were a treat. It was an easy drive to Belleayre for skiing, and we had a great time!

So grateful to find this beautiful home available for a family winter/ski weekend. The home is fully furnished with all kinds of beautiful antiques, details, a great tub and a fabulous piano. The king mattress is fabulous and we slept so well. A TV in every bedroom was a hit w my teens. We’re so grateful we could bring our dog with us and she enjoyed being walked behind the house. It was only like 10+ minutes to Belleayre Mountain and an easy drive to Woodstock. Plenty of towels and blankets and everything we needed to just literally come on in and make ourselves comfortable. Dealing with Marti was wonderful. She was so responsive and helpful. The house comfortably sleep six between all three bedrooms so our teens had more than enough room, we are a family of four. Hope to book it again some time for sure!

Charming , well stocked , easy location to Belleyeare ski resort, really enjoyed our stay!

Had a wonderful time House is well-equipped, lovely without being too precious,so it is both beautiful and extremely comfortable for our family. Spacious with lots of room for everyone to find their own cozy nook and big dining room and well appointed kitchen for us all to gather for memorable meals

I truly enjoyed my stay. Accommodations were comfortable, worth what I paid for my stay, and Marty was a superb host - very friendly and timely with her responses to any questions I had.

Beautiful place for a writers’ retreat - quite close to Woodstock, forest walks and more. Especially loved the wraparound deck and porch swing. Easy communication with Marty. Thanks for the great stay!

Property was as described. Easy to find since it’s on Rte 28.

I stayed in this sweet house with four teenagers and a friend of mine. There's plenty of space for all. The kids hung out in the barn and loved it. There are a few seating areas outside if you want some privacy and fresh air. The kitchen has everything you need. It's a great location . . . quick trip to Woodstock, Phoenicia (and the Phoenicia Diner!), hiking, etc. The hostess was very responsive and helpful . . . she told us everything we needed to know before we got there and checked in to be sure all was well. Which is was.

We are seasoned VRBO users. This property deserves all the 5-star reviews it receives. Homey feel, comfortable and spacious. Great running room and privacy above home for dogs. Equally important is the wonderful and attentive owners who we communicated with. Would go back in a heartbeat.

This is my second time staying here and I will return. the first time my adult children and grandchildren stayed with us and this time it was me and my spouse. The house is everything as described and the location was perfect. The kitchen was recently updated with all new appliances and there are outdoor balconies and porches to enjoy the surroundings! Marty responded in a timely manner to all my emails and texts. A real vacation!

Marty’s house is a charming historic house with all the modern conveniences.. she’s furnished it with all the comforts of home! Comfortable beds, linens, towels.. lots of thoughtful little extras too. The porch has a large table & chairs for outside dining.. while the inside dining room adjacent to the kitchen seats at least 8 for visiting family meals & Yahtzee game nights :) Lots of cozy spots to read, chat, or watch one of the many tv’s 🤣 All in all, a wonderful mountain retreat!

House is nice and cozy, it’s in nice area and lots of nature around, but we had very bad experience, it was storm and electricity went out, we have arrived at 10 pm and we could not see anything, whole town was dark and house is up the hill and could not see at all, I had to drive 50 mins away to purchase extension cord to pull electricity from my car, we have 2 small baby, we have arrived no electricity, no water, and everywhere dust and hot, I reached out the owner she said it’s happening and usually it comes couple hours but it didn’t come back until the next day, the house is old and everything inside is old and has specific smell, every door is cranking, it was horror movie, we would leave but there was nothing around, next morning, we wanted to use AC but filters was very dirty, we had to clean it, also window ramps had lots of insect bugs etc died and we had to clean that to to be able to open the window, tv, counter tops, tables, curtains, nothing have ever was cleaned, it was so much dust everybody was coughing, we cleaned everything and washed, store the garbage and organize for the cleaning people to take, we left around 11:30am, I’d never wrote this and I never did complain anything to her but she left me few voicemail that I left garbage sorted and 2 coffee cups and was complaining about it, when I paid so much money plus cleaning fee and I don’t get any rest, I had to literally work all this time to make everything comfy for my family, I’ll take this to VRBO, Also place is in middle of nowhere so no stores or anything especially after 8pm.

House was charming and seriously well-equipped. Linens were a very nice quality with a good mattress. There were also lots of good quality towels. The kitchen was really well equipped with plenty of seasonings, cookware, etc. The area is gorgeous with plenty of activities to explore.

My family (husband, myself, 5 year old and dog) enjoyed a weekend at this property. Communication with Marty was great. The house is lovely, clean, comfy beds, two full bathrooms and a ton of TVs. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, enjoying wildlife in the backyard, and exploring the area. There is a bit of road noise, but didn’t bug us. A quick drive to town, diner, hiking, etc. Recommended!!

From the moment we stepped out of the car, we knew our stay here would be special. The house is just gorgeous -- filled with so many unique and charming decorative touches and warm and inviting. Even though it's right off the highway, we still felt very much like were tucked into a mountain retreat. There's something so peaceful and restorative in the air and the energy throughout the property felt good. Marty was wonderful -- easily reachable and happy to answer any questions we might have while providing helpful tips, like do no miss stargazing! :-) Our family had a wonderful, restful time here. We spent as much time lounging on the porch as we did wandering nearby towns and got in some hiking too!

Our group of 7 had a wonderful time at her farmhouse that was very accommodating for kicking back, with a large living room and dining room for eating and game nights. The wrap around porch made for peaceful relaxing and a nice dry spot for those rainy days, The kitchen worked out well for our diverse group of eaters, and the comfy bedrooms provided us with restful nights. Marty was a terrific host, very helpful in arranging for the rental and insuring that we had what we needed. We loved being there and exploring the area.

Nice house with well equipped kitchen

We had a wonderful time! Marty’s home is so lovely. So many places to relax - many cozy touches. Communication was really good. Beds were comfy. We all enjoyed our time here and would definitely consider staying here again.

Our family & Friends was very happy to find this place which is very convenient to everything supermarket, gas station, hiking spots and ski area. The house itself is very cozy, amenities from the kitchen and toiletries are very well provided. We can say this is the best convenient, economical and fun filled stay we ever had. Definitely we will be coming back soon. Thank you Martha for a very warm welcome and accommodating us on all our enquiries.

Martha was very on top of things and it made the stay very pleasant. We happened to stay here during a snow storm. The morning after the snow fell, we saw a crew of people clearing the snow in the large driveway, without which we probably wouldn't have been able to leave! Thank you for letting us stay at your house!

Marty's home was lovely and spacious for our family of 4 plus dog to enjoy. Everything was clean and as described. It is very easy to make yourself at home here as many kitchen items and other are already provided. The front porch is a nice place to sit and there is plenty of outside space around the home to run around. Close to some nice hikes as well. Communication with owner was super easy. Thank you so much Marty : )

Cozy farm house in the Catskills, close to good hiking trails.

We totally enjoyed our stay in Marty's farmhouse.
