I had a dream weekend celebrating my 30th birthday with a group of my closest friends. Abbe and Jeff were lovely to communicate with and made sure things went smoothly. They were quick to answer questions, provided many details about the property and surrounding area, and even helped suggest restaurants and private chefs in the area. When we arrived, they made sure everything was set up in the house, including ensuring we knew where things were and that we had adequate internet (since many of us worked remotely on Friday from the house). We were also able to bring our pups with us, which made the experience even better and more convenient. The house is even better in person, especially the piano room. The hot tub was nice and big, the rooms were spacious, and the house was the perfect size overall for our group. I would suggest this house for any large family or group gathering, and would love to return again in the summer to make use of the massive outdoor space with the fountain. Thanks for a great weekend!

Great home for our West Point visit. The teens had a blast with the ping pong table. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit for smores. The Kitchen was incredibly stocked for our home cooking. Lots of bedrooms and bathroom combinations to accommodate our group. Abbe and Jeff are prompt with all communication and the town of Monroe has multiple places that offer discounts if you are staying in the house!

Abbe and her husband were incredibly welcoming to myself and my group. Their home is incredibly well located - an easy 1.5 hr drive from the city (shorter without traffic) and just an hour by bus or train. I highly recommend visiting in fall. The trees are beautiful and the house is incredibly cozy with a wood burning stove and hot tub outside. My friends and I spent the weekend going on hikes (a short drive from the house), playing games in the living room and those who like shopping had time to take a pit stop at the nearby Woodbury Commons. Abbe is well connected within the town and gave us an incredibly comprehensive list of restaurants and activities to check out during our stay. Orange Hill Estate is a rare find - if you have a large group this home will be perfect for you.

Abby and Jeff where absolutely amazing to work with. They helped me with a 40th birthday event that was everything we wanted it to be. Their event room was the perfect size and location within the house and was easy to separate the rest of the house where our family and I stayed. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and so is the home. Abby and Jeff pay attention to all the details you could possibly thing of, they went over the house and all the features beforehand and during check in. They really just made this memorable for all involved and I'm so thankful for all their help and support. Can't wait to visit their home in the future.

A beautiful property in the splendor of New York's Hudson Valley. Our wonderful hosts were minuets away if we needed them & had suggestions for chefs, bartenders or caterers in the area. The initial meeting & overview of the home was welcoming & informative. The 200 year old home & property were everything promised and more. Art work, plants and antique furniture make it a splendid yet homey and comfortable space. We were a party of 18 lifelong friends celebrating a milestone birthday over a long fall weekend. The kitchen is spacious & was a joy to use. (A lot of great food came out of there!) Dining room fit everyone without crowding or a "kids table" required. The group of us had such an amazing time we are talking about making it an annual event. Truly a lovely old home on a hill!

Abbe was very communicative and made the whole experience easy. We were a group of 7 and had LOTS of space to spread out, with a nice kitchen where we easily made meals and common rooms where we congregated. The house is lovely with perfectly sized rooms, comfortable beds, lots of bathrooms, etc. and a great hot tub for this chilly October weather. Honestly, everything was so EASY here, and we spent our weekend having fun with our friends. Harriman State Park is so close too so again, easy to go for a hike. Highly recommend Abbe, Jeff, and Shana's wonderful house and would absolutely stay there again given the opportunity.

House is fine and accommodates over 20 people but hosts will charge you for everything to the point that the final bill is much more expensive than you planned for. Checking out is also stressful. Hosts will check the entire house and it takes at least one hour before you’re able to leave. They made a good amount of money on me. Not worth it.

Our extended family of 16 had plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time together. There are many wonderful activities to do in the area, and the large pool was enjoyed by all. Abbe and Jeff were very helpful and accommodating to our needs.

Abbe and Jeff are the best hosts I've ever had. I've stayed at many places but this one is by far the best place anyone can stay at. World class service, everything was spotless; the hosts were always available to help. Will definitely be staying again!

It was a dream to be able to stay together at Abbe and Jeff’s gorgeous home. The house was pristine, yet cozy and comfortable. It lended itself perfectly to our large multigenerational family. The pool was spectacular. We enjoyed large family style meals together. There are so many great spaces throughout the house to be able to come together and spend time together. The bedrooms were perfect. Abbe and Jeff were incredibly gracious, helpful, and accommodating. It couldn’t have been a more wonderful stay in a gorgeous setting.

The location and layout of the home is perfect for family gatherings. Our family loved the pool and hot tub. It is a short drive to West Point. Abbe and Jeff are attentive, involved hosts.

The property worked out great for a 4 generation weekend birthday celebration. There were 13 of us ranging from 2 1/2 to 100 in age. Abbe and Jeff could not have been more perfect hosts— available whenever and for whatever but not in our space. They really go above and beyond. The family room with ping pong and pool and a big TV, as well as the pool area (although no one swam), were perfect places to play and hang out with the kids, as was the first floor living room. The house is a bit disjointed with multiple staircases connecting parts, but it gave everyone more privacy with their sleeping quarters. Ideal venue. Couldn’t have worked out better for our family.

This property and host went beyond our expectations and made our family vacation unforgettable! Perfect for a large family! The communication, thoughtfulness and flexibility of our host helped us navigate all the difficulties of traveling in times of Covid. We hope to come back very soon!

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home for our Thanksgiving this year. Abbe and Jeff were extremely accommodating from the minute we booked our stay and all throughout. They made us feel welcomed and comfortable. This was the perfect house for our large family gathering. It had everything we could have asked for. We truly had a blast and couldn't have hoped for anything better. Thank you again for making our Thanksgiving so memorable.

We had the weekend of our lives at the Estate! Abbe and Jeff are so helpful, communicative, and very involved with the planning process. We had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding here. Both of our bridal parties spent the day getting ready for our wedding including myself and the groom. Abbe and Jeff went out of their way to make sure everything was beyond PERFECT for us! We’re already making plans about a renewal of vows at the estate!!!! When we arrived the house was SPOTLESS and even more beautiful in person. We felt as if we were “home.” Abbe was always available to answer any questions we had and readily available to make recommendations to help us with the process. We have created such beautiful memories here and we have Abbe and Jeff to thank for that. We have nothing but amazing things to say and can not wait for another stay here!!!

I have never left a review before, but they threaten us not to leave one so I felt this was necessary. They took our “event deposit” in cash for doing absolutely nothing. We cleaned their infested barn for 6 hours, filled with rat droppings and dead termites, 2 days before our wedding. When we brought the infestation to their attention, they went out of their way to make our entire experience a living hell. They threatened to give us our money back and cancel our booking the day before the event. They called up all the vendors she requested from me to cause extra unnecessary tension. They live in the other half of the barn on the property, so they turned off the fans we had running to push in fresh cool air during the night and locked the barn the morning of the wedding to prevent us from entering. It ended up being the hottest day of September, reaching almost 90 degrees with absolutely no wind. It takes a particular kind of person to intentionally burden a bride with so much unnecessary stress on her wedding day.

Abbe and Jeff were really wonderful hosts. Helpful, available, always responsive, and couldn't have been more warm and friendly. Abbe even accommodated us with a new appliance just ordered for their personal use, allowing us to use it for our stay. The house is spacious and comfortably accommodated our family of 15. There are several sitting rooms and a large entertainment room that was perfect for our family's birthday celebration. The pool area is terrific and Jeff kept it pristine during our stay. Lovely home in a lovely area. Abbe and Jeff are delightful to work with.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. There was a ton of space for our group to have their own spaces when not spending time together in the many sitting and living rooms, porches and dining room. Plus, these were the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in! The pool, hot tub and poolhouse were well equipped (we especially loved the oversized pool floats) and is where we spent most of our days when we weren't hiking, shopping and eating at all the wonderful restaurants, many recommended to us by the hosts. Abbe and Jeff are lovely and were very accommodating and responsive if we had any questions about anything. We would happily return here again.

Beautiful mansion, gorgeous rooms, and many common area spaces to gather together. I stayed there for my wedding. My family and guests had great experience. Rooms were tastefully decorated and beautiful and the outdoor pool was great for the kids. Would stay there if I were to do it all over again. Abbe was great and has great knowledge of the area. Thank you for the stay!

This was the perfect setting for our group retreat. Easily accessible from NYC, comfortable space with enough beds and dining space for a large group, great amenities, everything as described. There are a lot of instructions for check-in, maintenance, and check-out, which were a little overwhelming to read through, but actually very simple and straightforward in practice. Abbe and Jeff are very involved hosts. Please take care of their home, so we can all continue to enjoy it!

The estate has everything you need and Abbe and Jeff are so accommodating ! The house is great for warm weekends by the pool or cold weekends using the fire and hot tub. We definitely want to book again!

If you have a large family or group for the area this is the place. We traveled with a large group for West Point graduation. Perfect house for access to West Point and shopping. Great friendly hosts. We’ll be back. Historic farm and home well worth a visit. Pool, hot tub, peaceful grounds. Harriman village 2 minutes away for deli, ice cream. House was best stocked and amenities we’ve ever stayed. Even if we had a small group, we’d stay.

What a wonderful weekend at Orchard Hill Estates. Abbe and Jeff were amazing, the property was amazing and our time was amazing. My group and I are already planning our next stay, but for longer.

My family (husband, me, daughter and 2 sons ages 14, 11, and 10) needed a safe change of scenery during COVID—we especially wanted a place with a private pool. I found this property after weeks of searching for just the right place that I felt comfortable enough renting during this time. The listing stated “we leave 3-4 days between guests to further ensure your safety,” which was a huge selling point for me—we have been very cautious about our exposure and didn’t want to take risks just to get a vacation. The owner reiterated this policy when we spoke on the phone prior to my renting the property...so I was very very surprised when we checked in to learn that a fraternity party had been thrown at the house 2 days before we arrived. Apparently the renters before us threw a blowout that trashed the house (so much so that Airbnb threw the renters off their platform—it was bad). The owners and their cleaning staff did a great job removing the frat party remnants and cleaning the house for our arrival, so that wasn’t a big issue for me—the problem for me was that the house had been rented right before us despite the listing stating otherwise, and there had only been 24 hours between guests. In normal circumstances, that would have obviously been fine, but I was immediately uneasy upon check-in...we had already paid and this was a big splurge for our family, so I didn’t want to back out of our vacation, but I was really disappointed and uncomfortable that the stated policy about length of time between guests wasn’t adhered to, and that in addition, the guests before us were so abhorrent and further increased our risks of exposure. The house itself was good for our family—the beds are comfortable, the house has various AC zones to keep all floors of the house cool, the “game room” with the ping pong table and mini pool table was a HUGE hit, and of course, the pool itself was perfect. We really enjoyed spending most of our 2.5 days in the pool! The kitchen was well-stocked, there were plenty of towels for bathing and pool time, and the house was pet-friendly for our dog as well. The owners were very communicative (and apologetic about the state of the house after the previous renters—it was clear that it was a traumatic experience for them to have folks treat their home so terribly) and we would be happy to return to this property again...just be warned that the time between guests during COVID may not be as advertised!

We had a wonderful week at Orchard Hill Estates- Jeff and Abbe were great and helped/fixed/assisted at a moments notice. The house was clean/sanitized and the bunk room was awesome for the kids. The pool was lovely and gated all around which was great for the 2 dogs we had with us (and safe for the kids). Also Jeff came over and took professional photos of our family- wonderful memories to have. Thank you Jeff and Abbe!

We had a wonderful stay at the property. The house was impeccably clean and well maintained. As it was the beginning of the summer season, Abbe & Jeff were very welcoming and worked very hard to get the pool up and running for our kids, which was much appreciated. The grounds are lovely, perched on a hill with a wonderful feeling of space and air. But the house itself is truly spectacular, incredibly comfortable and beautiful, clean and spacious. Each bedroom was very comfortable. There are many places to sit and read throughout the house; there is a lovely grand piano which we enjoyed playing. I highly recommend. We would love to return sometime in the future!

We had great time at the house.

Stayed the weekend for my sisters bachelorette party. Abbe, Jeff and the rest of the family were very accommodating and helpful. Great for a large group, nice comfortable beds for everyone. Would love to stay again.

Beautifu home that is perfect for large group of friends and/ or a cozy work event. The house was perfect set up for a short term rental. Check in and out process was seamless. Highly recommend.

Home was exactly as advertised, lovely 1850s charm with all updated amenities. They had kitchen appliances even I didn't know I needed! Everyone was so nice, helped us book additional vendors based on our needs - no complains, 10/10 would book again!

Held sons wedding nearby - Orchard Hills was great option - plenty of rooms, everything we needed, charming estate. Provided linens, towels, very convenient. Felt extra fees were excessive compared to other properties

We booked the Orchard Hill Estate as the 'home base' for our daughter's wedding being held nearby. Abbe and Shana could not have been more accommodating in answering all of my questions quickly as we prepared for the 20 guests staying in the home. Everything was exactly at advertised and it was truly perfect for our large group. The bedrooms, bathrooms and living room spaces were laid out so well that we never felt crowded in the house. We enjoyed the large dining room, living rooms and amenities. (There was more than one ping pong tournament). All of our guests commented how much they loved the house and how much better it was to be together in a space like this vs. in individual hotel rooms. My thanks to Abbe, Shana and Mary Ann for a great stay! We would highly recommend this home.
