Clean, comfortable, welcoming, spacious, perfect. My two sisters, my husband and I came together from different parts of the state and country to celebrate my mother‘s 84th birthday. While my mother did not stay overnight, she spent each day with us, and we were able to enjoy the house and surroundings completely. We were able to cook as a group and enjoyed many meals together. we spent a lot of time going through photos from our past and remembering other together occasions. We had a very nice time. Thank you so much.

Stayed here for two nights with our daughters and my two sisters. The house was very comfortable, clean and a great pleasure to stay in. The first night our landlord knocked on the door and offered a freshly backed tray of scones. What a beautiful touch.

This amazing home is perfect for a family looking to visit a student at RPI. We were coming in for Family Weekend and the hotels gouged their prices. We looked at this house because it was big enough for our family but also welcomed our dogs. Our son was thrilled to be "home" with the dogs. This house feels like home. It's clean and the kitchen is stocked with dishes and pots and pans. The yard and porches are gorgeous. The beds and pillows are so comfortable. There are extra blankets and throws to curl up in and watch a movie at night in the family room. We cooked and made an apple pie. We left one for Mike & Kim as a thank you. They left us incredible home made goodies in the table for our arrival. The home is about 20 min from RPI and my son was thrilled to be off campus and felt so comfortable here that we spent most of the weekend here playing games and hanging out. The house is in a beautiful and safe area. You will fall in love with this house. It's perfect!

Mike & Kim are fantastic hosts that match the beautiful property. The place is peaceful, from the house furnishing that make it feel homey and comforting to the serene backyard. The kitchen was well stocked with whatever you would need, same with the bathrooms. We only wish we had more time to stay and take in all Grey Gables has to offer. Staying here is a great value, especially in proportion to the quality of facilities.
