We were blessed to stay here for a week while visiting family. Kim and Mike were exceptional hosts enchanting our grandchild with their knowledge of gardening, chickens, and backyard animals. The house itself is comfortably furnished with many extras ( spices! foil and saran wrap! games! books!) provided. There are lively putdoor sitting areas on the front pirch and in the backyard. You are minutes from a bike trail, hiking at Thatcher or Five Rivers and so much more. We will be back!

Kim and Mike were the absolute best hosts! Their property is beautiful and the accommodations they provided leave you with wanting nothing. You can truly tell they value hospitality and creating an experience for their guests!

Our family loved our stay! Delicious cookies were waiting upon arrival. Host was extremely communicative. Place is quiet and lovely with a huge back yard. Close drive to stores and restaurants.

Wonderful Victorian home with all the comforts one would want. Quiet area close to anything that you would want. Responsive, accommodating owner who worked with us whenever we had a request. Highly recommend.

I rented this property to have a place to have a few friends that I hadn't seen in many many years, one-on-one in a warm intimate atmosphere. The ambience and well-equipped kitchen were perfect. The property and surrounding areas are beautiful and access from greater Albany area is terrific. I did a fair bit of cooking and appreciated having a really nice grocery only a couple of minutes away. Couldn't imagine a better place to use as a home base for reconnecting with beloved friends. Thank you Mike and Kim!

We were so happy with our week long stay at Grey Gables . The house and grounds are lovely, homey, and very well equipped. It was the perfect spot to stay while visiting the area with our twin baby granddaughters and their parents; the girls especially enjoyed the backyard chickens, birds , and woodsy trails. Kim and Mike have created a wonderful “home away from home” for their guests!

Kim and her husband are wonderful hosts of this lovely house. We were visiting for Parents Weekend at our son's college and it was the perfect stay.

Grey Gables was a charming and well equipped property. Rooms were spacious and had most items you would want including the kitchen. Owners were very nice and responsive to requests. Location is close to hiking trails, parks, and many good restaurants. We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful home! Great communication

This property was stunning immaculate and well appointed. The communication with the owners was superb and the whole process was easy. The property is historic and every room a joy. The location is great a few miles from Albany. Overall would definitely recommend

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The property was in nice condition. The only issue we had concerned the TVs - they are streaming only, and we could access only a couple of local channels (no CNN or other channels typically available on cable). A garbage disposal would have been nice, although the lack of one wasn't a critical issue.

We LOVED this property. Everything was beautiful, the gardens, the yard, the screened-in porch. We really enjoyed our stay and are already planning a trip for next year!

The house and property at Grey Gables is exceptional and Kim and Mike were so welcoming. They were so helpful and kind and went above and beyond when there was a booking snafu. Kim even let me walk through her side of the house when my old greyhound decided he couldn’t walk up the front stairs one morning. Wonderful property and people.

House, Hosts and Property were extraordinary for both man and beasts! Multiple indoor/outdoor socializing areas. Well stocked cooking/food prep kitchen just needs a few more teaspoons! Extended dining room table sat 8 (houseguests and locals) comfortably. Newer upgrades not shown in pics include additional seating on screened porch and staircase carpeting that was much appreciated by our dogs. So enjoyable we're looking for new reasons to return! Thank you Kim and MIke!

Beautiful from the front yard to the front porch, the whole house, the back porch, and the gorgeous backyard. Quiet and beautifully appointed house with everything needed for our 5-day stay.

We had a 10 day stay at Grey Gables for a wedding, a graduation and lots of family time. The location was perfect, as it was close to our son's apartment. The well used rail trail that is a short walk from the property is such a nice perk and was built after we moved away from NY. The directions on staying at the house are stellar. We will definitely stay there when we return to NY. Thank you Kim and Mike for being such great hosts!

We loved our time at Grey Gables. The house is well taken care of with lovely furnishings and decor. It is very convenient to visit Union College (25 mins) which we did daily to watch our daughter perform in the winter dance concert. The hosts are extremely helpful and checking in was easy. The beds are very comfortable and everything is very clean. We are looking forward to visiting again when we can take advantage of the close proximity to the walking trails and secluded backyard and closed in porch.

Myself, partner and three of our closest friends spent a most wonderful weekend in this charming and uniquely and beautifully decorated house. The front porch is so inviting with lush hanging ferns adorning the front of the house It was such a pleasant experience sitting there early morning and being serenaded by the different birds in the area. The house had everything we needed to prepare our meals and the living room was very comfortable and with Roku, Netflix and Amazon prime, we were thoroughly entertained In every corner of the house there was artwork and eye catching decorations with specific themes that created an appealing ambience. My particular favorite was the bicycle room which had such a clever design and a Parisien feel. The backyard was a spacious and serene hideaway shaded by magnificent trees, home to flying squirrels, owls and beautiful birds. Kim and Mike could not have been more gracious and personable hosts and were very welcoming The beds were very comfortable and we all felt this was a very special house. The area is very scenic and the tree arboretum nearby was a lovely place to discover and enjoy the variety of trees in the area. We can t wait to return to this most pleasurable sojourn.

We loved everything about this house. The decor, the comfortable furniture, the location and the cleanliness. This 100+ year old home has all the modern amenities with the charm of a well-built older home. The owners are friendly and make you feel more like a friends than renters, offering the use of their yard and gardens. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the ac cranks! The location is perfect for trips to Albany and the immediate area is quiet and suburban/rural. There are trails and parks near by and great restaurants. Try the Wren and Rail. (Not an elegant looking food truck restaurants but food is great!)

First, let me start out by saying that Kim and Mike, the owners of the property, are wonderful, friendly and genuine people. And they are dog lovers! My wife and I, and our 13 year old Australian cattle dog (who got along well with their two dogs, Peanut and Token) enjoyed the beautifully decorated Victorian style house. The kitchen was well supplied with skillets, pots and pans, and utensils for those, like us, who enjoy cooking. The bedrooms were creatively decorated and comfortable. We relaxed in the enclosed back porch and in their gorgeous backyard. Kim and Steve have a vegetable and herb garden and so generously offered us any herbs we might need in cooking our meals. We would definitely go back again.

Great

The house is gorgeous, woodwork beautiful. Beds very comfortable. We didn't get to enjoy the screened-in porch much because it was a bit chilly, but that's October for you. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed, and instructions on how everything worked. Definitely will be back!

We stayed three nights but its so comfortable it would be a great location for longer stays. Clean and very comfortable, you can see the love and pride put into the LARGE property. We took a couple of day trips and this area is perfect. Stay here.
