House is large, airy, clean, and looks even better in person. The property is beautiful. And the distance to campus was perfect for our group visiting for reunion. The owner was friendly and helpful.
The host was extremely welcoming and the house was immaculate. Great location about a mile from downtown Hamilton and Colgate U. The house is comfortable, clean and well appointed. Beautiful and quiet property perched on a hill.
Beautiful home in bucolic setting. Very close to Colgate for grad events. Very convenient to town. Spacious well appointed home with lovely outdoor area with fire pit. Gift basket with local products was nice touch. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have made this house our home since 2001 and raised our twin sons here. I grew up in the Netherlands and teach science at our local public school. My husband teaches at Colgate University and enjoys managing the grounds around the property, including 40 acres of land across the street.
