Wow, I'm not sure where to start on this. This was such a special place and a fantastic find. We were nervous since we booked when it had no reviews, but it was worth the risk! We were visiting the Watchtower/Bethel facilities as they recently opened. Here is what we experienced:
* Location: Perfectly located near Watchtower/Wallkill (11 min), we were able to have some come to visit us and were able to visit multiple times conveniently. Warwick is about 55 minutes, and Patterson is about 50 minutes.
* Condition: Perfect. Newly renovated, yet at the same time, very comfortable. We immediately felt at home. There was plenty of room, and so comfortable with several tables, couches, and chairs. The personal touches everywhere make it clear that the host cares about your stay and isn't just trying to make a quick buck.
* Sleeping: Also impressive. We come from the city, so the quietness was wonderful. In addition, my wife and I are considering getting the same beds for our house. So comfortable!
* Utilities: Showers were hot, water pressure was abundant, and everything worked great. There is even a TV in one of the bathrooms, which was a first for us :)
* This place was stocked! Popcorn "bar" (which had 6-8 flavors of popcorn and many toppings), an entire wall shelf of coffee flavors with an easy-to-use coffee maker, snacks were everywhere, and as someone who loves to cook, the kitchen had everything we needed and more! The bathrooms were also well stocked.
* The outside: Wow. Multiple firepits, a peaceful river, and so much room! While there, we saw many species of birds and deer walking right through as we had a smokeless fire in the high-quality pit! At night, the tasteful multi-colored lights made the place look amazing and even more picture worthy. While we had a busy schedule, we each took a few minutes just sitting and looking out over the river. Parking was easy as well.
* The host: We were nervous since this duplex has the owner right next door. But Jeff was excellent. He made sure everything was *perfect* and was not invasive. Again, you could tell he cared and was excited to have visitors.
Would we stay there again? A hundred times, YES! As someone who has stayed in dozens of homes over the years, this house is the bar I will set all others against. This was just an incredible week -- thank you, Jeff!
