Weekend of My Dreams

My husband and I got married at Steve’s home and everything was perfect. Steve helped us with the entire process with great communication. He had the yard in pristine condition and the home spotless and designed impeccably. My family was in awe of this gorgeous property. Definitely recommend staying in this home if you want a trip straight from a fairytale!

Bursting with charm and character

This house is full of character and you can tell how much the owners love it. Every square inch is decorated in kitsch detail. You could spend the whole weekend just exploring all the decoration. It was raining our entire trip, so I can't say much about the outside, but we had a great time hanging out inside in the beautiful music room or very large kitchen. The house ad could use a floorplan, to explain to potential customers the quality of the bedrooms. Of the ten listed when we went, two of them were giant, luxurious bedrooms, four of them were bare bones queen beds, and four of them were either inaccessible or not private and people had to walk through them. This place is GREAT for people staying in the six best rooms, but has problems for any group larger than that. Make sure to visit Rensselaerville Falls, only 15 minutes away and absolutely gorgeous.

Beautiful house with a gorgeous view!

We rented the property with a group of friends for a wedding weekend. The house was out of ordinary with so much natural light. The views of the mountains were amazing. Absolutely lovely!

Great for Adults - Not great for young families

The house is more suited for an Adult get away. The kitchen is great for cooking and is fully equipped with everything you would need to cook for a large group or an intimate gathering.The dining room is cozy and fun. It feels like you are dining in an Art Gallery. We spent each meal discussing which piece of art was our favorite. The views on a clear day are absolutely stunning. The house has a sense of formality, and history, with many, many, beautiful antiques. I would not recommend this home for a young family. The decor is eclectic and a bit risque. It is interesting and fun for adults. But maybe inappropriate for children. Especially in the tower where you are greeted by a doll with red eyes sawing off his arm and there are several pictures of art along the stairway, and in the tower, that are not suitable for young children. Also there is not a large cozy room where both children and adults can all hang together. We found ourselves frequently separated into two rooms. There was no basic cable TV. Entertainment is through Roku. So there was no availability for live sports or news. Based on other rentals in the area, and other homes we have rented the price point, seems high for the overall condition of the house, especially on the second floor. The 2nd floor hallway and most of the bedrooms have either wallpapering hanging or the plaster is peeling from water damage. For the right group this house is a terrific experience, however I would not recommend it for a family ski weekend. The owner is extremely responsive and accommodating. He will respond promptly to any inquiry.
