A Terrific Weekend Away

Our group spent the weekend in Dutchess County to celebrate an upcoming wedding. This home was the perfect location for our group - clean, spacious and inviting on the inside, with great views and ample outdoor space to enjoy fall in New York. The host was accessible and easy to communicate with, and the home provided all that we needed four our stat. It is located close to town for supplies and dinner, but with plenty of privacy for peace and quiet. A great time was had by all!

Wonderful country escape with beautiful view

We had a fantastic time staying in Mary's home. The house is spacious, clean, and bright, with a beautiful view and lovely outdoor space. Mary was communicative and very helpful -- our stay was perfectly smooth, but I have no doubt that if there had been any issue, she would have helped us resolve it promptly. Check in and check out were both easy and the Hudson Valley is as beautiful as ever. We were very happy with this house and highly recommend it.

Beautiful home and setting

My family stayed at Mary's home for a long weekend with 3 other families. The home is even more beautiful and spacious than in the pictures! We were a group of 8 adults and a few toddlers/infants, and the common space was plenty big enough for everyone to relax and play. Each family had their own room, which was also enough space for a long weekend. The kitchen is wonderful, and is well appointed with everything a cook would need, along with a few extras like kid's plates/utensils and 2 coffee makers (a keurig and regular pot brewer). We cooked in all 3 nights and had wonderful dinners in the gorgeous dining room. The setting was gorgeous, and super private which our dog loved! He was able to roam around under our supervision, without having to worry about bothering neighbors or fear of cars/traffic. The kids loved walking around the decks and long driveway for some fresh air. An added bonus was having a dedicated laundry/mud room in the back!
