RULES:
THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE! No underage groups, proms, drinking parties, keg parties, etc.
DOGS: Pre-approval is required. Low shedding breeds only due to allergies.

**PLEASE NOTE:
This is the country and you can expect to see many animals, birds, snakes and insects (including ticks) that are all part of the ecosystem. Black Bears live locally although we have not seen them on the property yet. There are Eagles and hawks in the area so keep small dogs close to you at all times. When hiking through wooded areas or grass we recommend using Off spray or another known brand on your shoes and legs.
During the summer you might hear distant music from the summer camp a mile up the road but it is not bothersome.

What a house!

This house is amazing! It is a perfect blend of modern and mid-century modern. We loved the original pieces that had been saved and used in the renovation. There is more floor space than you could ever use and the views are fantastic!

This is the second year my family has stayed at this property. We could not be more satisfied. The place is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Our first impression was great as you arrive you find the entire place spotlessly clean. We have nothing but good things to say.

Celebrate back in time!

Our family got together at the Retro Ranch to celebrate my wife's retirement and the house bacame a major element of the entire weekend. Plenty of room for our 12 adult group to have meals together, hang out on the kitchen or the TV room, or by the fire. You are in a secluded location , yet very easy access to many local attractions that fit a variety of interest. We did like to be back to enjoy the Sunsets! Communication with Leah was excelent and was very responsive to our inquiries. We enjoy places that looks impresive and welcoming at the same time, the Retro Ranch is very much that.

The Best

We had so much fun at this spot. It is so hard to find a place to fit a family of 6 and this sport was perfect, actually it’s even too big for us but after being cramped in hotel rooms this was luxury! The interior is retro 70s, totally fitting with the Bethel Woods/Woodstock theme. We saw countless deer every day. A groundhog, skunk bunnies. Only the skunk didn’t want to be friends… lol It is a 10 min drive to Bethel Woods, close enough to hear the music but far enough away to feel like you are in blissful woodland solitude. The whole house is spacious. There are 4 bedrooms as described. The 4th room has 4 twin beds (2 sets of bunk beds) and 2 trundle beds. The third room has a queen & a single (if I remember correctly) and the first two rooms each have a queen bed with one of those having a small day bed. Easily could handle 3 families. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make meals (except groceries of course), even a ton of spices. The laundry facilities were so helpful. The porch/game room is relaxing. The living room is like a theatre with multiple couches and ample seating. The island seats at least 6. The dining room has a long table with many chairs I did not count. Two picnic tables outside. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub unfortunately. A lovely lawn area in the front. Leah was very quick to respond, very friendly. I can’t say enough great things. We can’t wait to plan to go back with friends.

I Loved the Stay

The house is Great and the Location is Awesome. Very Quiet & Isolated - nearest resident is half a mile away. Owner is more responsive than my mother. This house has been undergoing an epic renovation by the owner, to save it from the elements. The house is nice and the Mitsubishi AC is a winner. Because the rental is expensive, I am going to tell you that the house could be improved as follows: 1. MBR bed is too low to the floor and needs box spring to bring it to a normal height. 2. Kitchen is Great and modern but fridge is way too small for the number of people that the house is slated to have. A second fridge in the basement would be helpful. 3. The windows mostly don't work and one doesn't close. without screens, the numerous flies fly in when opened. 4. The land is beautiful but underutilized. The deck should be ripped out and one that is twice the width built. If you put a long outdoor table, you could actually use the deck to dine and with an awning, the backyard would be the star of the house so long as you cut all of the weeds in the back to the end of the property line, the view would be improved. Recliners would be great as those backyard chairs look cute but have no use.

50th Birthday Gathering

This house was perfect for our group, there to celebrate a 50th birthday with friends and family. Close to Bethel Woods for an easy trek to a concert, and the next day to visit the Woodstock museum. The open kitchen/island and the large dining table were perfect for family style meals and games. The area is beautiful, and walking down the road brought amazing views! The fire pit was a great space to gather and stay warm. Just an awesome stay, and Leah was an excellent host!

Awesome Spot for a Friend Getaway

My group of friends and I have been planning weekend long get togethers at random vrbos and other rentals for a couple of years now and this one was a fantastic stay! The space was incredible and we had plenty of room to eat, sleep, and play. The hot tub was also incredible! The weather didn't give us a lot of options in terms of excursions but we took an hour long drive to Walden to check out the Angry Orchard cidery and it was well worth the drive. The property is also super close to the original Woodstock site which was worth the visit! Leah was a very thoughtful and helpful host and we would absolutely come back!

Beautiful and relaxing property!

The property is gorgeous! We came with a family (with little kids) and a bunch of adults as well and it was awesome for all age groups. One of our friends said "I saw the pictures and thought it can't possibly be that beautiful, but no, it's even prettier in real life!" Down to every last detail. Even the microwave and knives match the decor. 😉 The fresh air is amazing, beautiful quiet area. We brought quite a few activities to do once we got there but the space lends itself to chilling and relaxing around the fire that we didn't end up needing any of the activities we brought. There's a game room, two areas to relax on the couch and chairs near the island. Not to mention Leah is the perfect host! super helpful and responsive! 10/10 would go again

Mid Winter break & birthday

Our second stay at the Retro Ranch (first was a winter break during the pandemic) and, as usual, what a great time. Spacious, stylish and very comfortable, the retro ranch was the perfect three day holiday weekend locale for our daughter’s birthday. Friends & family loved it. Leah is a wonderful host who is super communicative and has a property manager to help if she’s not available. Can’t wait to come back in the summer for a show at Bethel Woods.

Space for days

The space is even larger in person. We greatly appreciated the really bright colors. Definitely a little room for improvement, but for what we needed (Clean space with plenty of room to stretch out) we couldn't have asked for a better space. Property owner was great with communication even though I didn't notice she was checking in with us until much later. I guess that's a sign that their directions and information ahead of time was really good! Definitely plan to rent the space again in the future.

Girls Getaway 2022

We visited the Modern Retro Ranch in late September for our annual girls getaway. There were 13 of us and there was plenty of room. The house is very spacious and the decor is bright and cheerful. The pictures on the website are very accurate. What you see is what you get. :) The beds are comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels, and the house was a comfortable temperature. There aren't any neighbors close by so no fear of making too much noise. We loved the firepit and used it almost every night. It was great that there were enough outside chairs for sitting around the fire. We saw deer every day, and even heard the coyotes one night while sitting around the fire. It's in the country but shops aren't far away if you need some supplies. I would definitely recommend this property. Rena

Quiet, remote, comfortable

Unpaved roads leading up to the house can be a little unsettling (the potholes were filled the first morning we were there!) but this is an insanely spacious mid-century style ranch house out among abandoned agricultural buildings (they're a few hundred yards away). We found ourselves using the kitchen bar counter, seats 7, most of the time, but the living room was also a great place to sit and relax.
