The house is genuinely spacious. It easily accommodated our group of 15 people. There are nine real, full-sized bedrooms, and the common spaces are supersized, including the dining room & kitchen, and the glorious, endless wrap-around porch. It is an old house, a little frayed around the edges, and probably not the right choice for those who prefer new, sleek and immaculate. But we loved its quirks and charm. Its former lives as a boarding house, and later as the home of an artist, are very much on display: The ceramic "Ladies" sign above a second-floor bathroom; the vast collection of art books in the library. It's also a wonderland for children, overflowing with games and toys and fun places to play.

My family voted unanimously that this place is it! We are 6+4 significant others, so 10. We had our own spaces and ample commons spaces to gather, cook, eat, read and more. We love the proximity to hikes and climbs. The kitchen went beyond expectation.

Gathered with friends to celebrate a bachelorette party. Really beautiful and charming home! Bedrooms all very cute and shared areas are spacious and well decorated. Definitely appreciated the fans in each room as there is no AC. Kitchen is AMAZING.

We had a lovely visit. 14 of us ages 5-80+. The home accomodated us so well and the host was wonderful. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we've had. Great hikes lovely quiet area. We had a blast and will return.

I was looking for somewhere that had many rooms for single and couple adults to stay at for a long weekend birthday celebration. It was super difficult to find somewhere with rooms relatively the same size and separate/private, until I came upon this listing. That was the impetus, and the reality was even better than we could have imagined. We spent most of our time in the large kitchen/dining room: cooking, eating, laughing, conversing, and playing games. At nights we would all go into large living room for more games. The breakfast nook and library was a great place for people to get some work done or for smaller games of dominos or a puzzle. We were there in the dead of winter, and there was plenty to do indoors as well as nearby, though I can only imagine how great the property would be in warmer weather too! A few of us went on the 3-mile loop trail hike and overlook at Sam's Point Preserve (3 min drive); we all went to Speakeasy Motors Distillery (15 min drive) one day; and to Arrowood Brewery & Distillery (30 min drive) another day - all super highly recommended. We had 3 dogs with us, who all loved the the place too. I was amazed at how many supplies were included with the house - I'd say way beyond the basics. Tons of spices and condiments, oils and baking supplies, dishware, glassware, cookware, barware and even party decorations, which were a happy surprise. Would 100% stay here again! Thanks, Rob!!

This is our 2nd stay at the Cragsmoor house. The host, Rob, is incredibly kind and communicative and the house is perfect for gathering with a large group. We were 10 adults, 2 kids, and 2 dogs and there was plenty of room for everyone to have space but also gather together. The house itself is quirky and full of character and art, which adds to the fun of staying. Can’t wait to return again!

The house fits the description. While it is still being renovated, it is completely usable and has a lot of character. The usable rooms are all well kept and comfortable. I was worried about the house being possibly drafty but Rob assuaged my doubts before we arrived and we didn’t have any temperature issues while there. We like to make big family meals, especially around the holidays, and the kitchen was a dream kitchen for us. I have no negatives to share. It’s a great house and the owners make it even cozier for families with a mountain of toys for young kids to play with. We had a great stay and would definitely stay there again.

This was a wonderful place for our multi family, multi generational group to gather for Thanksgiving. Well equipped kitchen, large sunny dining room, lots of space to spread out. Beds were comfortable, house overall cozy and warm. Check-in and out very easy. The house is old and that shows; for us that made the house interesting and unique. The bathrooms are dated but were functional. The location is superb and we got in some wonderful hikes.
