Peaceful Stay

I booked the house for a girls' weekend in the Hudson River Valley. The property is secluded and private, as described, with lovely views from the decks. The clean, spacious, light-filled house worked well for our group of four people and a small dog. We visited Olana and Hudson, each about 30-minutes away, drove into Hillsdale, a 10-minute drive away, for groceries and meals. Accessing the property requires a short stretch of steep, unpaved road and gravel walkway to the house. The latter may be difficult for those with limited mobility.

Family Gathering

This accommodation was a perfect choice for my brothers and myself and spouses who grew up in the area to come back to for a celebration of life event for our mom. It was very spacious and outfitted with everything you’d like to have in a weekend home away from home. Our one complaint was that the lighting especially in the kitchen was very dim/dark/limited. It is a very peaceful, restful location.

The house is nestled in the hills of the Berkshires. The house was very clean and had the most accessories in the kitchen that we've ever seen (in a good way!) Lots of glasses, bowls, trays for serving meals and snacks. The kitchen was recently remodeled so it was very fresh and clean. There were 2 tables so we were able to do a puzzle and dine at the other table. There are plenty of seating areas for groups or for privacy. We lit the fireplace on 2 nights which was wonderful (we brought some firewood even though some was provided). We also had happy hour on the deck that overlooks the large yard which was very enjoyable. We had planned to use the firepit, but ended up not using it.Two of the bedrooms are fairly large which worked well for selecting one for my grandson's blowup bed. There was plenty of room for the 7 adults and 1 toddler.There are several stairs you need to climb. You enter the house on the lower level and then climb a full flight to the main level and then another full flight to go up to the bedrooms. I wanted to mention for those who may have limitations. This was not a problem for our group.We had a minor issue. I contacted Alex and he got back to me quickly and we resolved it. We had a lovely stay and took advantage of things to do in the area. I recommend this home.

Beautiful winter escape

We had a lovely holiday in this truly beautiful dream home. Everything promised in the VRBO advertisement was a reality - from the fireplace, the 4 bedrooms, the ping pong table, the kitchen and the glorious view. We even had a dusting of snow making the trees glisten. Absolutely lovely. Our host was most attentive as well—checking in with us to be sure we understood the heating units and the fireplace. We really had an ideal stay!

So peaceful

My family and I stayed for a nearby wedding and enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful property and the house was clean and cozy. Sound does travel, as others mentioned , but no big deal unless you have especially noisy early risers. Kitchen was well equipped and the house had everything we needed! We would stay again.

Three story hideaway near Hillsdale/Berkshires

Our party of four adults found ample space to spread out and relax at this property. There are quite a few stairs to access all three stories, including the main living space on the second story and the four bedrooms on the third story. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal). There is a very nice deck overlooking the lovely and sprawling grounds below the house. A fire pit was situated behind the house. There is a balcony and patio also off the main/second floor. Mini splits/AC kept the bedrooms and second story cool in summer. Washer/dryer on the first floor was convenient. About 15 minute drive to Hillsdale and closest groceries. Very good communication with owner.

Amazing interior and views, so much space!

This house delivers on everything in the listing and more. We had the groomsmen stay here as part of a wedding, and this house is a vacation all on its own, in a remote area, up a large hill, so it really feels like you're away from it all. The interior is as good as, if not better than the pictures. Gathering together for coffee as the morning sun rose through the windows was magical. We also played D&D at the huge table, mountain vista in the background. If you're on the fence about booking this beautiful place, I say GO FOR IT! It was worth every dollar, and the hosts are kind and responsive. I'd definitely book again next time I need to get away from it all with friends. Good things to know, but were absolutely not dealbreakers: -Sound travels and echos in this space, especially in the fireplace area and up to the bedrooms. The floorboards can be a squeaky too. Not a dealbreaker - our early risers just had to make sure to stay quiet as not to wake everyone up. - No curtains - there's literally no other house or person around, so I didn't care much about anyone being able to see in, but if anyone is sleeping on the couch downstairs (like I did, super comfy), know they'll wake up with the sunrise, lol. Not a complaint. I got this place for it to be sunsoaked. - No service- there's 0 cell service up here, but the Wifi is insanely strong. I had wifi even down the driveway, and on the first level porch. Thank you to Alejandro & Cindy for the great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Alejandro

Host profile image
We are in Technology and Hospital management from Chicago living in Naples, FL with grown children.

Why they chose this property

We were introduced to this region no long after we moved from Chicago a few years ago. We love coming for the peace and quiet, strong cultural and historic attraction of the area. We like the proximity to great urban areas like Boston, and New York. Easy airport access from Albany and Hartfort CT.

What makes this property unique

This is a place where you want to wind down and entertain. We have family gatherings and events every season.
I like the utter silence of the evenings when the only sounds come from a gentle creek at the bottom of the hill or the wind moving around you.
