We had a wonderful wedding at this beautiful house. The view is breathtaking and the house has old-world charm. The house has great potential of being a Hudson Valley gem. The owner was very communicative and helpful, and usually responded to our requests immediately. She was easy to work with and thanks to her help and flexibility our event was a great success. Unfortunately, the house is not in the best condition. There are several things that don't work properly. In particular, the air conditioning could work better (although it worked very well in the area where we had our wedding). If you are not very picky about amenities, this house makes for a picturesque getaway or the backdrop for a quaint event.

I usually I don't write reviews, but for this one, I had to write it. I had booked this property for 4 days to accommodate my extended family visiting us this summer. We were absolutely disappointed with the lack of maintenance of the amenities and the state of the house. The owner has no interest in maintaining the property. During our stay the there was a gas leakage in the house so the gas company had to come in the shut the gas supply for almost a day. Instead of spending time with the family I was speaking with the owner and constantly updating her. It just seemed like I was coordinating with the parties involved. In Addition, during our stay, prospective buyer knocked on the door to see the house with their realtor . We booked this property well in advance and the owner did not give us any prior notice of this viewing. Since it was a hot afternoon as many of my family members were sleeping we did not allow them to come in and it it was really an awkward situation for us to see the agent and buyers peeing through the windows for about an hour. Here are few things notable, 1. Not enough towels, blankets, or pots, pans and spoons/forks kept 2. The kitchen was ill kept and in general unclean. There were unwashed cups/glasses and other utensils. 3. There was fungus in the coffee maker 4. There was no dishwasher soap inn the house and we had to go to Walmart to get it only to realized that the dishwasher does not work. 5. The dish soap kept was watery, that probably explains why the dishes were so dirty. We got the soap and we had hand wash the plates to start using them. 6. Hand soap dispenser had water mixed in all of them 7. Upstairs common bath does not work. We had to buy hand soaps for the bathrooms and rags to clean the kitchen. This is NOT ALL. I have listed only the few things. 8. If you are traveling in summer, please note AC's don't work well We had to make lot adjustments and spent a lot of time in trying to sort out the issues rather than enjoy the house and the views which were wonderful. PLEASE DO NOT GO BY THE PICTURES. ITS A OLD BEAUTIFUL HOUSE BUT FALLING APART WITH NO MAINTENANCE.

This house is located in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the Beacon Bridge and Hudson River. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well kept. The host Elizabeth was easy to get ahold of and would call you right back if she missed your call. If you're looking for a lovely scenic get away from the noise and hustle and bustle of New York City then you should consider this house.

This old house was a great spot to gather with friends for an evening. Note that some of the reviews below are for a different property.

My wife and I flew up to NY to see our family for my sisters 35th birthday that always falls on Halloween. We hired a private chef and transformed the already beautiful house to a Halloween theme. It was successful, the property, the views of the bridge, the privacy as well as the spacious rooms —this place can accommodate your family or friends without you feeling like you need to subject yourself to outside activities during COVID. This was my first time using VRBO, I will be using it again!

My first note is one of warning that the previous reviews for this property do NOT relate to this property. The ‘amazing’ reviews and high rating is for a beach house in Hawaii, apparently a previous listing by the same host. The house needs a LOT of work, which is a shame b/c it could be so so charming if it was cared for. My experience: - we found the bedding to be stained (I have lots of photos), we purchased all new sheets, blankets and towels. - one of the beds was broken and caved in the middle - appliances were not working (microwave, ice maker, oven) - random wires on the floor - bug on the pillowcase - there is a very strange room off the master that was wide open with a mattress on the ground and junk all over, looked like someone had been squatting. (I was told this was a storage closet and I should not have opened the door, which I didn’t) - a few members of my family were not comfortable staying and were (luckily) able to find a hotel. The good - The location is great, the view and grounds are stunning and the house is quite spacious so if those are your priorities, this house is a YES! Based on the attitude of the host and how she has replied to me and to others on another rental site, I am sure she will respond to this review unprofessionally and by trashing me. Let’s see ;)

Hello -- we had a great stay in Beacon. Wonderful place with a fantastic view of the Hudson. The home is older (1867), so set your expectation that things do not work exactly has you would expect in a brand new house, lighting is OK but not as bright as you may have at home. The AC is mostly not central, so during a heatwave may be a bit hot. Was OK for us in mid/late August. You will really like the deck and watching over the Hudson. We made great use out of the pingpong room and enjoyed the surrounding area. Elizabeth was responsive and great to work with during the stay.

Everything from the unit, the view, the central location to most of the things we enjoy, the fully stocked beach closet, to the very accommodating Debbie this was one our favorites. We liked having the pool and Ocean Beach Bar and Grill in walking distance. We hit beaches and hiked the Fisherman’s Trail and Pololu Trail. So much fun to be had and a great place to come back to in the afternoon
