We stayed for Thanksgiving week, gathering with our family for the first time this year. Perfect house: quaint, clean, homey and well equipped. Delightful kitchen; better than most VRBO properties. Outstanding trails within a stone’s throw. Breweries and cideries served the purpose of great drinks and a great location for watching World Cup. The owner was communicative and proactive in every way possible. A great property and great location. Perfect for a family with dogs that love the outdoors and food. Highly recommended!

The discrepancy between the owner's representation of the property and the reality decided us on cancelling our entire two-week stay within an hour of accessing the property. It is located on a busy road, next to an industrial -sized dumpster, with an attached building of apartments, a small shabby lawn with a steep and inaccessible slope toward a shallow stream. The furnishings are old, worn, and dusty. For a family of elderly people with disabilities who were seeking the serenity and charm the advertising led us to believe would be available - the property was unacceptable.

I had a great experience staying in this spacious, comfortable soulful house. Everything was sparkling clean and the kitchen well stocked with anything you might need including high quality Alclad cookware. Great big yard for barbecues. Perfect place for family to gather comfortably. Brian is a great host. I will be back

We stayed here while attending a wedding at Kaaterskill Inn. Super convenient, 6 minutes away from the venue. The house was lovely, clean, and had great spaces to hang out. The main room is very open with comfortable furniture and lots of places to lounge. The porch is just a dream as well. Sleeping was very comfortable with big beds and excellent bedding. All around amazing spot!

Claim that cooling swimmable stream was accessible right behind house was false and had been for years. Owner’s mother walked her dog in the only small outside space available for recreation. AC was fine & necessary.
