We were there to celebrate a wedding. The house was perfectly located to our venue. Beds were comfortable and house was clean. More towels would be nice. Dehumidifier in basement wasn’t working because it needed to be emptied. Smelled a little musty for a bit. Overall, a great place to stay! Thank you!

Wonderful property that allowed me to disconnect and relax. The home was comfortable and clean. Although this may seem weird, the towels were hotel quality and the sheets were clean and fresh. I appreciate this because I’ve stayed at some rentals that the sheets and towels were very questionable. I had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again. Great communication by the property manager. They were awesome!

The house was perfect for our family of 7 adults, 10 mo old, 3 yr old and dog. The weather did not cooperate (lots of rain 2 days). But, there was lots of space to spread out inside. Fall colors were beautiful; we took advantage of nearby hiking trails when the weather cleared. The house was very comfortable. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare our family meals (the grill was waiting for us on the deck, but no one volunteered to cook out in the rain). The only issue we had was I failed to save the code to get into the house before we lost cell service, so it took us a while before we found the Emerson Spa and got on their guest wifi to pull it up. Once in the house we were fine. It was a perfect family weekend and in the end no one in our group had to do linens and towels or drive more than 5 hours to get there!

I celebrated my 60th birthday with friends and family. It was a great location for hiking and biking. You can walk to the Mt Tremper Trail Head and it is a 9 minute car ride to the Ashocken Bike Trail. Kitchen was well stocked and great for eating in which is always easier with large groups. I highly recommend riding your bike to the Dog House which is only 2.2 miles away for the best vegan hotdog and beer.

Wrong code given
They don't inform of no cell service so had to drive around for service to text for a code to get in...mind you it's dark in the mountains
Kitchenware is awful
Only 1 pot...had to boil pasta in a mixing bowl
Wireless router lowest grade...with such a big boast for housing 10 people a better router is necessary
House shouldn't smell like dog...we are not animal owners so the distinct scent was overbearing at entry
Stop neighbors from letting their dogs on property to use bathroom...common wildlife I get but the neighbor's dog...no
Carpet should be upgraded...the stains definitely didn't make it feel like we were In a classy place
Vrbo boasts better....we didn't get that

Some maintenance issues but a very nice, soacious and cozy home.

Place is very spacious. The hosts were very accommodating. My only issue with the place was that a few of us got wood splinters. The wood floor in the main bedroom is not smooth. However, besides that, the hosts provide almost everything that’s needed for the stay, also very quick to respond to any questions.

We had a great time on the property. There were a few minor issues (some power problems in the bathrooms, a non-functioning Jacuzzi), but the overall feel and design of the home was exactly what we needed. We'd be likely to visit again.

We love this place. It has everything you need for a 6-10 person group!

Always a great stay!
I’ve stayed at this lovely house many times and there’s always a reason for coming back. I love the town, the restaurants nearby but most of all we love this house. Since my last stay there have been a few upgrades and some nice touches with decor. It’s a huge house and great for big groups. The company is prompt with communication and have been very helpful with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back!

I had a fantastic time!
A beautiful, contemporary house, nestled in the quietest part of Phoenicia, with all the amenities but also with the option to be cut off from the world, which is just what I wanted. A lovely fireplace, a beautiful deck and hammock, a cute pond frozen over in cold weather. Thank you for a great weekend!
