Great Place

Perfect spot for a get together with friends... kitchen, dining room and living room all connected so you're always together and not missing out on the fun. Comfy couches and plenty of space for large board games.

The property was lovely. There were extra towels and very well stocked kitchen supplies. My only complaint was the overwhelming odor after someone used the fireplace. I wish there was something to neutralize the smokey odor. Also it would be nice to have a tv in the bedrooms. At least a tv in the master bedroom. I would stay here again.

NY trip back home

Home was well maintained and had all we needed for a very comfortable stay. Driveway was gravel and difficult to manage even with 4WD vehicles.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay however, the listing states all the beds are king sized and only 2 are. The other 2 are queen. Also (note for host) we forgot a pair of sunglasses and would like to have them mailed back if they are found, could you contact me if possible.

Love the house. Need tvs in bedrooms, glass on downstairs shower and balance air units.

Would have given it a 5 except for those minor things. Will definitely stay there again.

Excellent for a Group

This house might have the weirdest layout I've ever seen, and if you don't like stairs, it's not for you. But it was clean, warm and very inviting. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful place to stay!

This was a great place… and we use VRBO often! The owners provided a lot of little things that typically were overlooked, like creamer, coffee, soap, TP, and so much more. The house had a unique set up with three bedrooms up stairs and the master on the ground floor. It was perfectly clean and nicely appointed. Thank you for a great stay! We will be back!

Good Fit

We rented to gather family for Christmas. The house worked very well. The house was clean and true to pictures. had all the essentials we needed Weather caused the driveway to be a bit challenging, but was doable

No spiders

Loved the house! So neat & clean! No presence of Spiders at all! There are lots of stairs so I wouldn’t book this one if you can’t do stairs. And the driveway is very steep. We would have felt better if we had a 4 wheel drive. The house is lovely and we did love it overall!

Serene and modern oasis surrounded by nature.

This was a much needed getaway for us and this property was perfect! The house was spacious and clean, the beds were comfortable. The main bathroom especially is gorgeous. There was plenty of room to relax both indoors and outside and we found the house had everything we needed for a great weekend away. Be aware there is a very steep gravel driveway to access the property and a lot of stairs. This wasn’t an issue for our group but it could be for other travelers. Overall it was a fantastic stay and we would definitely return!

Lovely updated home

The house was clean and completely updated and renovated with nice touches like a Nest thermostat. We didn’t cook but the kitchen was very well stocked. We found the beds to be very comfortable and of good quality. The layout is a little odd with bathrooms on different levels than the bedrooms and with the exterior door to the house opening into a lower level bedroom, but it worked fine for us. The driveway is gravel and is steep and there are steps up to the house. Again, no problem for us but good to be aware.

Beautiful house!

Beautiful house! Greatly enjoyed our stay! Lovely interior decor. Top of the line appliances. Have your morning coffee outside (weather permitting). Super comfortable furniture and beds. Lots of amenities. Corrections/additions to listing: Lists four king sized beds, but actually there are two king and two queen sized beds. Bedding and towels are both provided. But truly impossible to make it up this driveway without AWD or 4WD! Ruts were beginning to develop under the gravel on the way up, and the gravel is quite thick up where you park your vehicle. Have already recommended this listing to others, but only if they have 4WD or AWD. If the driveway were paved, there would be no drawbacks at all!!!

Hillside retreat

All of us enjoyed our stay here. Kids loved roaming the house, adults appreciated comfy seating and very usefull and appealing kitchen. All rooms are plenty big. Yard is amazing this time of year (July) with loads of hydrangea. While there are steps up to the house, they are generously wide making it an easy climb. Due to high temps we only used the outdoor patio once, but there is plenty of room there. Most of the driveway is on a slope, but large enough for several vehicles and for turning around. And although it is steep our fully loaded front drive minivan made it up. Traction control did help. We were coming up the road, and went slow and swung wide to make the turn into the drive. We would definitely stay here again. The host was very responsive with minor problem we had with WIFI.

Uphill battle

It's a very nice place but as others have noted, the driveway is not for the faint of heart. Wet, slick leaves hampered the drive uphill unless you have AWD, which we do not. Drip coffeemaker was moldy because grounds hadn't been removed. Surprised there was no grill. And the property may encompass four acres but they are not user friendly acres. Plenty to do in the area, however, and the place is pretty and comfortable.

August 3-6

The kitchen and family room were great with all new appliances and plenty of seating space. The ice maker always had ice for us. Nice area with privacy. There were several throw blankets, which was also nice while sitting to watch tv. The driveway is no joke - if you don’t at least have a small suv, it may be difficult getting up there. There are lots of steps, so that could be an issue for some people. The bottom door walks into a bedroom. This bedroom was loaded with tiny spiders all over the ceiling and windows. We spent about an hour and a half or so trying to smush them all with wet paper towels. Communication with the owner was fine before we got there, however, did not answer any messages during our stay (of which we had a few).

Location, location Location

This house has an ideal location to see lots of local sites of interest in the Hyde Park and Poughkeepsie area. Easy trip from there to West Point, Hyde Park and the Culinary Institute from the location, and great restaurant, Tiramasu, is very close. The house is immaculate! The beds were very comfortable, linens were provided, the bathrooms were spacious and the five of us had plenty of room for our toiletries. The house has steps to its multiple levels for all essential rooms, not accessible. We only cooked breakfast in the house, but there were sufficient pans, toaster, and microwave available. It would help if there were directions provided for using the appliances, thermostat, and tv, all appliances are very high end and instructions would help in using the touchpads. It would be great to have checking out instructions I posted somewhere in the kitchen. You will need a four wheel drive vehicle to make it up the very steep driveway, it took us several tries even with it. I have rented many VRBO homes, this is a very nice one, we were not disappointed. I thank our hosts for working with us during our stay, it was a wonderful trip for us.

Beautiful accommodations for large family/ friends but needs a few more improvements

Overall we had a nice stay but there are a few things that future guests should be aware of and some improvements I feel are needed to make the stay more comfortable. Pros: The house was very clean. Beds are very comfortable!! Rooms are a good size and the living room had a cozy fireplace with blankets for many to enjoy. Updates to the kitchen and bathrooms were modern and nice. Kitchen has many pots and pans and cooking utensils stocked and there is a K cup coffee maker and a regular one available. Cons: The driveway needs paved. The rocks/thick gravel were difficult to navigate and for us and for our family when we had to drive up. We ordered pizza one night and met the guy at the bottom of the hill to spare him from driving up. There are no towel racks in the main bathroom. We had 5 people using that bathroom and there no where to hang their towels and to know who had which towel. Plenty of wall room to install some. Lastly, the downstairs bedroom was way colder than the rest of the house by about 10 degrees. I sugguest a space heater for downstairs to account for the temperature difference so the rest of the house isn't sweating.

This is a very nice home with a well equipped kitchen. The living room and dining areas are spacious. We could have used more closet space but it wasn’t that much of an issue. The driveway could use grading but had ample parking.

Great Location!

We were very happy with this VRBO. There is no hangers for your towels. That is the only negative thing about this place. The beds are very comfortable! And location was perfect for our group.

Just right

The house was just as pictured. Past reviews were helpful. Knowing about the driveway in advance was helpful. It is an odd floorplan, but it worked out fine for us. The kitchen is lovely and had everything we needed. We were in the area for the Stormville antique show. The house is in a great location, central to many great attractions.
