4 friends and I, plus our dog had a wonderful time at Michelle's place. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out with privacy, and a large common area for us to spend time together. Our dog loved running around in the yard and taking the morning walk to the stream. The host Michelle was very responsive when we reached out with questions, and left really good recommendations for the area as well as a yummy bottle of wine as a welcome present. We are already talking about coming back in the future!

Truly one of the best places I've stayed at. The house is perfectly laid out for multiple families to stay, ranging in ages from 2-1/2 to adult. The bedrooms were spacious and so very comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen is well equipped and the property is absolutely beautiful. Quiet road yet close to many different restaurants. Yard was perfect for the kids to play in. The host, Michelle, was quick to answer any questions.

We enjoyed our stay here, and were grateful that we were allowed to bring our dog. There was plenty of room for all, and the property (inside and out) is well maintained. It is evident that there is a great deal of pride in the owners' maintenance and ownership. The kitchen is very well stocked; it is the best we have ever found in a vacation home. The owner (Michelle) was prompt in her responses, and was kind enough to allow three friends from CT to visit us for the day. We all enjoyed an outdoor barbecue, with perfect weather to boot. The extra amenities really made this vacation special!

The house was clean and spacious. It was a great layout with plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Michelle was great to work with and we had a great time there.

We (my wife, two teenaged girls, brother-in-law, mother-in-law and I) just spent MLK weekend at the "Yellow Door House" and we had an amazing experience. The house is so nice and clean with the perfect amount of space and comfort. The beds are all really comfortable and the bedding is top notch. The open plan living/dining/kitchen allowed us to all hang out while making meals and watching football in front of the awesome wood burning stove. The location is ideal. It allowed us to check out Red Hook, Rhinebeck, Great Barrington, Hudson all with short drives. But the house also has a remote feel on a big, well-maintained piece of property. Communication with the owner, Michelle, was OUTSTANDING. Every message I sent was immediately returned and she gave us some great ideas for restaurants and things to do in the area. I asked her before we arrived if there were any games in the house. She said there weren't but if we gave her a list she would order them. As we arrived, so did a box of games from Target. So cool! One other thing of note. Apparently the power goes out fairly regualrly in Columbia County. This house has a dedicated generator that kicked on immediately and stayed on until the grid came back online. What a great feature. In short, we will definitely come back to the Yellow Door House and we HIGHLY recommend it for a great weekend+ away from the city.

Recommend this convenient to everything beautiful location. Michelle a gem to deal with and house has the comfiest beds! Dogs being welcome is a huge plus!

This was the perfect house and property to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with our teens and visiting parents. The kitchen was a joy to cook in and the living room a generous, warm place to hang out. The walking trails were an added bonus! We’d definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay at Michelle's property. The house was large and spacious, with plenty of comfortable beds, large bathrooms, and a well stocked and high end central kitchen, dining, and living area for the group to coalesce. The layout was conducive to give enough privacy to a group of unrelated friends. We really enjoyed both the firepit, and the stove in the house where we made fires on multiple nights. The back and front yard were large and spacious with plenty of room for my dog to get out her "zoomies." The location was close to Hudson, Kaaterskill Wild Forest, and Indian Head Wilderness, where there was some beautiful hiking. Additionally, Michelle was incredibly communicative and hospitable, including leaving a little welcome gift for our group. We would definitely stay here again!

Our group had a great time here! We spent some time in Hudson and also did some hiking on local trails. This home was great and clean.

Perfect for a weekend getaway or longer stay. House can easily accommodate two large families. Grounds are gorgeous. Host provided fantastic recommendations on fun local things to do. When our travel plans changed because of work, Michelle went out of her way to accommodate us. Would rent again.

This property met all of our needs and exceeded our expectations. With a guest with mobility issues this was the perfect home. House and rooms were very spacious. and clean. We opted to eat in on our first night and found everything to make our meal prep a breeze. had a fun evening on the patio and then visiting around the dining table. The house was very clean and spacious and the owner went out of her way to apologize for the previous travelers who hasd left her with some unexpected items to take care of. My husband and I enjoyed walking to the stream and visiting some of the local attractions. Proximity to the parkway was an unexpected plus. I would definitely recommend this location to others visiting the area.

House is wonderful, exactly what we wanted. We had 3 couples and 1 infant - plenty of room. Beautiful views, very peaceful. Host was great. We would definitely love to come back again!

Highly recommend this property for a relaxing stay! The house is on 7 acres of gorgeous land and is right next to a State Park which was great for hiking. The house is incredibly clean and spacious and the host is super nice and responsive. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at the Yellow Door Ranch was fantastic. Beautiful, clean, comfortable home that has plenty of space indoors and out. My husband and I were able to relax and also enjoy hiking and exploring nearby towns. We would definately come back and highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to the Catskills.

Our experience was great ! We loved the house.

We had the most positive experience at this rental. We stayed on and off over the course of a month. The house easily accommodated my family of five as well as several guests. The house is well appointed and close to both Hudson and Catamount. The host was very responsive and kind. I would love to stay here again. We had a great time.

Our group of two families with young children had an amazing long winter weekend at Michelle’s house. The house was clean, modern, and perfectly set up for our two families to share comfortably. The house was well located for all the activities we had planned and Michelle was super communicative. She answered all our questions promptly, provided ideas for local activities and even scheduled the driveway to be plowed around our schedule during a snowstorm. Would definitely stay here again.

This is a lovely and clean property. Great for two families as the bedrooms are split into two sides of the house. All new appliances and amenities. Warm bedding, nice towels. Host was very communicative and attentive.

House is adorable, peaceful and clean.. with the perfect minimalist decor. Excellent setup for two families. Close to a great state park and a few restaurants. Also close to some cool towns, like Hudson and Millerton. Very responsive owner.

This property was a great place. 4 bedrooms and 31/2 baths. Kitchen is well appointed with higher end appliances. Everything worked great. Location was centrally located for us and where we were going. Highly recommend it if you are staying in the area.

We had a wonderful long weekend stay at the yellow door house. The home was clean, warm, and welcoming with plenty of room for our two families. Michelle was very accommodating, answered questions promptly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

My friends and I had a wonderful long weekend here - it's perfect for going to Rhinebeck and Hudson (which we did on various days). The house is perfect for a group, we had so much fun hanging out together in the living/dining room area. We brought in takeout for dinner multiple nights and it was so much more fun (and cheaper!) than going out to a restaurant. The bedrooms are comfy, the bathrooms are clean and there are so many of them! The layout is perfect because some people can socialize in the living room while others can be off in their bedrooms for privacy and quiet. The owner was very, very responsive and sent lots of instructions and recommendations, and she answered all questions promptly. We will absolutely stay here again...

Seamless and professional

The Yellow Door Ranch was a perfect house for our group for a long weekend away. The photos are very accurate - if anything the home is even better in person. It is immaculately clean + all of the finishes and decor are top-notch. The kitchen is modern and has every amenity, appliance and utensil you would need (plus 2 grills and a smoker outside). The property is private, expansive and beautiful - make sure you catch one of the spectacular sunsets from the top of the hill! There are a lot of things do to in the area - we enjoyed the West Taghkanic Diner, the Farmer's Wife, Green Acres Farm and Bash Bish Falls [*as of 9/18/21 the path down to the falls is closed but you can still view them from above and it's a nice short hike]. Michelle - one of the owners - was very helpful, quick to respond to inquiries and super easy to work with. All of the guests loved it and we would highly recommend the Yellow Door Ranch!

This is a lovely house on a quiet stretch of country road. Lots of beautiful outdoor space for children (and dogs!) to explore. The house itself had a friendly, open layout. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Lots of nice bathrooms. Kitchen was perfect for whipping up big meals and the grill worked great for BBQs. Michelle was a wonderful host - she had lots of awesome recommendations for the surrounding area, left a lovely bottle of wine and checked in on us to make sure we were settled in. Would definitely return again in the future!

We had a terrific week here! We took our early 20s kids and 80+ Mom for a post-vaccination vacation week and had a great time. Perfect location, everything you need for great in-home cooking, and very comfortable.

Our family had such a wonderful time exploring Columbia County and our immediate surroundings thanks to our host's stellar recommendations!! The house itself is wonderful - immaculately clean and furnished with comfortable modern pieces, the kitchen is stocked for anything you might want to cook including BBQ. Layout is perfect for two families and allows for two separate wings. Will definitely stay here again - location is perfect, just off the Taconic but feels miles away with little to no traffic or street noise, and convenient to all the region has to offer, including the Berkshires.

Had a wonderful stay. The house has recently been renovated so everything was clean and new. It has 4 bright and spacious bedrooms and one of the kids bedroom had a bonus playloft that had them entertained for hours! We managed to catch the last of the skiing and are already planning our return visit in the summer to enjoy the beautiful surrounding area. Michelle couldn’t have been more accommodating - 5 stars! Thanks so much.

Michelle’s house is fabulous, newly renovated, spacious, clean and room for 2 families or a large extended family. The wood burning fireplace was perfect after a day of skiing at Catamount (20 mins drive) or following a beautiful hike around Taghankic state park (5 mins drive). The house is located on 7 acres with trails and a beautiful river at the end of a quiet road. Michelle was a pleasure to deal with and we will definitely come back to stay again.
