Pleasant place to stay and even look out the window

The property has a sunroom off the kitchen that overlooks the pond and flowing stream. We ate our meals there as we looked at ducks landing on the pond, a wild turkey walking by and a young Fox that played around the pond for over an hour.We came to see my sister-in-law and brought her back to the house to enjoy the view and pleasant surroundings.We were thrilled with the experience. I even videoed the Fox and sent it to the owner.

West Point Trip

We enjoyed waking up to the deer and "Billy" the Heron in the mornings who had come to visit the pond daily. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our family to enjoy some time together while being close enough to visit West Point.

This home and its property was ideal. I couldn't ask for a more comfortable and peaceful place. If you're looking for fancy, this place is not for you. If you'er looking for comfort and peace and quiet in a beautiful part of upstate NY, you've found the place! Thank you John.

Great escape

Quaint, very comfortable home in a beautiful setting on a pond with wildlife. Was perfect for my family of five home was well stocked and really enjoyed making s’mores on the fire pit only negative was there were numerous ladybugs in the home. Not sure if it was due to time of year or window AC units not being sealed to window completely. We plan to return again next year

Relaxing Respite

This property was a perfect setting for evening "down time" after busy days of family activities. We appreciateed the the secluded feel yet convenient location. The common spaces were great for interaction and conversation, while the sleeping rooms allowed for privacy. It was a lovely place to stay.

A great place for a family vacation

A very cute and cozy home in the woods. The was a Thanksgiving vacation for the family to get them out of NYC. Wonderful accommodations and John was extremely helpful on things to do in the area and other suggestions. We will have Cynthia’s Place on our list to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by John McKenney

Host profile image
Hello, I am the forth generation of my family to live in this area. I am an avid hiker, naturalist, wildlife enthusiast, and truly enjoy all the things outdoors.

Why they chose this property

This property is part of my family's original farm purchased in the late 1800's. My parents built the house their selves in the 1950s (hence the name Cynthia's place). It is an absolute gem of a location and I want to share it with others who also appreciate nature and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

The secluded location has fantastic views of the mountain and pond in the back yard on the 25 acre estate. Everyday provides for something new to see: the blue heron fishing at the pond, hawks circling over head, turkeys traveling through the back yard, deer at dusk or dawn, or just the clouds floating over the mountain.
