A wonderful family gathering place for our special event. Went tubing on the river, saw bald eagles diving there, and visited somewhat nearby cascading falls. A place reminding us of how we lived a number of decades ago; a pleasant place and pleasant surroundings. Also, importantly, thoughtful hosts providing special contributions for the reasons we all gathered. Enjoyed everything.

My family and I came to stay here for two days to attend a concert in Bethel Woods. The town itself where this home is located does not offer much. It took us about 45 minutes to get to Bethel Woods. The home is situated near a beautiful riverfront, which we had access to and enjoyed. Unfortunately, our trip was hampered when my husband and daughter were attacked by many wasps (they each have about ten wounds from stings) when they sat on the nest that is attached to the bottom of the wooden bench swing on the property. In that general area where you will see chairs and a fire pit in the picture, there are wasps swarming around. We tried to destroy the nest with insecticide and by physically knocking it off the swing, but it regrew the next day. We brought the fire pit and chairs from the table across the lawn to another area where we could safely sit. The owners provided a gift of s'mores materials and wine--which was very sweet of them. It was a very unfortunate experience complicated by the fact that they felt uncomfortable during our stay. Overall, we were not overly impressed with the comfort of the home. The shower upstairs is basically a metal box with a rusted floor. The hot and cold handles are reversed--it took us a little while to figure that out ! Overall, this is not a place we would book again when attending a concert in Bethel.

We absolutely loved the place. A large outdoor space, a beautiful porch, fire pit we used it all. We had two teenagers and 3 young adult with us and they were very satisfied with the place (and trust me, it is not easy to satisfy them). There is a river literally across the street that we fully enjoyed as well. Definitely will consider to go back. Thanks Joe for everything!!

We just spend 3 nights in this wonderful cozy old farmhouse. We went with another family and the home was spacious for us 7 to never feel on top of one another. We got to enjoy fun evenings in the comfortable living room singing and playing game. The family room is very well stock with games, puzzles, and DVDs. The kitchen and downstairs bathroom are fully and beautifully renovated and very well stocked as well. The outdoor is gorgeous and we spent an evening by the fire pit playing guitar, singing, making s'mores. At dusk deer come and graze the lawn. We were lucky enough to spot the neighboring bald eagles. We dream of being able to come back in the summer to fully enjoy the creek. While the owners stated that the house was 80% renovated, the home was incredibly welcoming, comfortable and super charming. We enjoyed great hikes as well and went to Mullet Falls blue trail and Walnut Loop South to the overlook to see the autumn foliage. Joseph and Maria were very responsive and warm.

we have been working on a project in Monticello and at the end of the day it is comfortable to return to this beautiful house where we can easily relax and forget about work especially on the river bank with its private beach
