Great property with great views

Overall, things were very good. Charlotte was easy to communicate with, check-in was a breeze, the location was beautiful, and the accommodation was generously stocked with anything one could need for the kitchen or bathroom. I think most people would find this a wonderful place to stay, but there are a few small things folks should be aware of: The site and views from it are outstanding, but to get to it, you have to drive up a long, somewhat steep and windy gravel road. This was no problem in good weather for our AWD vehicle, but some folks may find it a bit challenging or intimidating. While the high-use areas in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom were very clean, there were a few articles visibly left under some furniture in the main sitting room, a wrapper was on the bed, and less trafficked areas could have been better cleaned. The fan in the bathroom and the A/C unit in the kitchen were in serious need of cleaning. As the listing states, it is over the stable. As a result, there are lots of flies around, and one or two occasionally makes its way inside. In addition, while the aroma of the stable was only very mildly detectable in the portion of the suite near the door on most days, on rainy/wet days, it was a bit more pronounced. Finally, the suite is very nicely furnished in a bridal style, which, while looking lovely, isn't always the most practical (e.g. light white fabric curtains that don't keep sunlight out of the bedroom, fuzzy lounge chairs that aren't the best seating for watching TV). This all being said, as I hope the star rating reflects, we had a very nice time at this lovely, clean accommodation in a gorgeous setting with a very thoughtful host.

We were there for West Point parents weekend and this place provided an amazing place for our son to relax. It is very nice and quiet with unbelievable views.

We loved staying at this property. I was pregnant when we lived there and it was a refreshing experience with Wonderful views

My wife and I spent a few days at the property to relax and get away from NYC. The location was very quiet and had beautiful views of the Hudson River. The apartment was nicely decorated and the kitchen had everything you needed to prepare meals. There were also some great hikes just steps from the property. Communication with the owner/property manager via email was prompt. The town of Beacon was a short drive away with some good shops and DIA Beacon. Note, there is a dirt road that leads up to the property. The first 50 - 100 yards of the road was in pretty poor condition, so if you are in a small car or a car with zero ground clearance, be careful. You can't blame the owners, though, as this was a city/county road.

End of winter getaway and this place really delivered. The views are breathtaking, the horses and donkeys were very sweet, fireplace, jacuzzi, it was everything as listed and then some. Highly recommend.

To start with the positives, the inside of the property is very pretty, with all the amenities you could ask for. The hot tub was fabulous, and overall the place was great for the evenings, with beautiful views overlooking Beacon. However, we were not informed that construction would be happening during the day, and so we had limited privacy (had to keep all the curtains shut or else we were within feet of construction workers—all of whom were unmasked) and there was noise outside. One of the reasons we picked this location is because it promised to be a place you didn't have to leave—and this wasn't the case. We actually felt we had to go into town for more privacy! As a couple who came to escape the noise of the city, and to be in a safe location during covid, this wasn't the case. There wasn't a check-in process. When we arrived someone who works with the horses (she never gave us her name) just told us to go upstairs. There's a book available with some instructions, but none for check out, so we communicated directly with Charlotte. Once we did that, check-out was easy, though check out time was a strict 11am and there isn't place to leave bags in case you want to continue exploring during the day (we did not have a car, and we definitely recommend those coming to have one! Our Lyft drivers were very nervous going up the mountain!). Overall, we were disappointed with our experience, especially because this was a really pricey stay for us. Our sense is this place is perfect for weddings, and could be wonderful if it is actually private. Our recommendation is to check ahead if construction is still happening when you want to book.

This property has one of the best views I have ever seen. The property is magical. You enter through the barn, which is immaculately kept, to a treehouse-like dreamy suite. The bedroom is very cozy, especially with the fireplace, which is easy to use. The kitchen is well stocked. The town of beacon is a 5 minute drive away and is very cute. It is under 1.5 hrs from NYC, making it an easy getaway. To be aware - the drive up to the house is quite steep and windy, I would recommend 4 wheel drive. Also, the living room doesn’t heat up as well as I would have desired - pack warm clothes.

Our stay here was amazing. The views are breath taking. Everything was very clean and the apartment had so many items available for our use. Would come back in a heartbeat

We absolutely loved our stay at this rental property. The space looked just as beautiful in person as in the pictures, and the sunsets and views are breathtaking. It was clean and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. The hosts were responsive and helpful. I think this guest house is especially perfect for a romantic getaway. There is plenty to do at "home", but also lots to do in the lively towns nearby if you feel like getting out. Highly recommend!

We had the best time! The most beautiful and relaxing place, the perfect getaway! Thank you so much.

My husband and I came to the equestrian suite to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We had the most incredible time. This suite is absolutely stunning. Pictures do not do it any justice. The suite was so warm and cozy and was decorated beautifully. The views are amazing as it is atop of a huge hill. The house had everything you could possibly need. We will certainly be back!!!

We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and it was a magical few days. We loved the house, views, peace so much we ended up canceling our dinner reservations both nights in favor of baguettes and cheese. Already thinking of booking for next year.

This place is magical and just what my husband and I needed after 16 weeks of working from home. The interior space is beautifully designed with a number of comfortable perches to enjoy the spectacular view. It's very quiet but a three-minute drive into Beacon where there are shops and restaurants. We would highly recommend a stay here.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Equestrian Suite. It is a fantasy-like retreat with stunning views 24 hours a day from every room. We enjoyed the hot tub on the deck in the evenings. An easy drive into town. A wonderful spot for horse lovers.

As described in the pictures. The views are gorgeous, the snacks & coffee included are a nice touch, and the hammock on the deck is perfect. (Plus hot tub!) It's a bit of a winding road to get up the hill-- the owner sends instructions, read them -- and Though it's over a barn, the smells don't carry. There's a bit of activity around the barn during the day, but nothing distracting. It's perfect for a getaway.

My wife and I were looking for a getaway from NYC, and this place was perfect! Beautiful property, beautiful views, and nearby to a variety of activities. Our visit exceeded expectations. I think we’ll be back!

Unbelievable property! We had a fantastic stay and felt very well taken care of. Can’t wait to return soon.

Awesome home and views.

The pictures online are exactly what your going to walk into! the ride up the mountain had me a little nervous, I met Charlotte half way up and when we arrived at the top we were taken back by the views. the suite was absolutely beautiful, views from the hot tub in the morning with coffee and sunset at night were breathtaking. Location was perfect literally a mile from main street, the town of Beacon was awesome with great shops and restaurants. We had dinner at the Culinary Institute of America one evening and that was about a 30 minute ride 90% of which were all back roads so it was a beautiful ride. We will definitely be back again, fall would be even more stunning to stay!
