Everything was good. Like amenities such as water and dock close by. Use of kayaks and paddle boards was a great bonus. We never could get WiFi to work which was kind of a bummer. The area and the lake are great.

Nice for a couple days away. I think the property is as it is described. The amount of space was awesome. There was a rancid smell in the fridge and the upstairs toilet ran. But I’m sure those have been fixed.

Lake Minnewaska Views!

Super cute property with wonderful views and access to the beach. It is apparent this is a well loved family property whose owners chose to share with others. While the circumstances of our trip were for somber reasons, the cabin environment was really nice and comforting.

Enjoyed our stay!

Cute little cabin. Liked that it had towels, utensils, etc to use as needed. Host was easy to get a hold of with questions. Had some issues with the AC and a breaker but was able to resolve those. Grass in the yard was a little long but didn’t bother us. Overall had a great weekend!

Our 4th Year

This is the 4th summer we've spent at this house! We enjoy the house, the location, the creek, the large back area, the lake. The house is clean upon check in. Communication with property manager is good with timely responses. Areas of improvement include an air conditioner in the front bedroom. Window cleaning to control dirt, bugs, debris. The shoreline should be raked.

Enjoyable

The property and house were great. Could use some fresh couches but decorated nicely. The kitchen was spacious and loved the big table . I washed everything we used before using it. Cabinets and everything in them in the kitchen and bathroom need to be wiped down and washed. They are dirty. I would give it 5 stars except for this.

Great location

The location is very nice. Close to Barsness park which has a nice playground and splash pad if you have young kids. It was nice to have toys available for the kids at the property. The ice maker was a plus. Checkin was easy. A few suggestions: definitely need steps to the dock. Also, there was food left in the cabinets. I have never seen that at a vrbo. I had no place to put groceries. Kitchen cabinets need a good clean out and restock/organization. Overall a very nice stay.
