Perfect little house

Thrilled to find this cute little house that was sweet, clean and comfortable. We were attending a graduation in Troy — it was just 10 minutes away and well priced. Highly recommend.

Everything you need

A roomy house to stay with family members. I visited with siblings and there was plenty of space in the bedrooms and common areas. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable, including the couches and seating. Conveniently located near a shopping plaza (helpful for grocery shopping and to buy wine) and we enjoyed the screened-in porch during nice weather. The host, Jamie, was prompt in her communication. Highly recommend!

Always Nice

We love staying here when we come to NY. After a delayed flight, just walking in the door you breathe a sigh of relief because it is just so warm and comfortable and spotless and familiar! We immediately relax and are always happy to be back. Thank you Jamie for making sure all needs are met and I know if I need something your response will be immediate. Until next time!

Perfect home, perfect hosts!

Three of us stayed here to attend our 59th high school reunion and it couldn't have been better. The home is spotlessly clean and the kitchen is the most well stocked I've experienced at a VRBO. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the back patio to have our morning coffee on. The owners were responsive and considerate of our needs. Highly recommend!

Decompress Vacation

This is the second time I've stayed at this location. It is quiet and offers you the feeling of being secluded but yet you are surrounded by activity close buy. I love this house and, of course, Jamie for giving us the opportunity to stay again.

Lovely home!

We very much enjoyed this lovely home and would highly recommend it. We enjoyed hanging out in the sunny dining room, the screened in porch and the patio. It is probably one of the best set up vacation homes we have ever stayed in; we were there for six days and were able to cook everything we wanted to and did many of the puzzles!

This was a great location and house; big enough for her entire family. The neighborhood was quiet, the house was clean, all amenities were excellent. The hostess was very communicative and we could not have asked for more. I highly recommend.

Great home in a central location

This is a great home, cozy and clean with a beautiful backyard and deck. Use the grill to cook up a delicious summer meal! We enjoyed being in between Albany and Troy. This house has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the owners have thought of everything you might need - from cleaning supplies to kitchen ware and cooking basics. We will happily return in the future.

Sweet

Lovely home, just perfect for our stay. We attended a high school graduation in the area and the house was close to everything. Beautiful landscaped grounds that would have been wonderful for outdoor activities had the weather cooperated. We are returning to the same home in five weeks to attend a wedding. It had all the things that made it a comfortable, cozy home. Looking forward to the next time!
