A cozy little cabin. A great place to enjoy in itself and a relaxing place to come back to after a day out. Stayed two nights and went hiking, great location for the mountains. Host was very responsive.

Wonderful Cottage in a great location

The Dream Cottage at the Gunks is a perfect place for a cozy stay in a scenic location. Everything was very clean and decorated with good taste. Although we were not there much due to how much we did over the weekend, our time there was very pleasant. I highly recommend staying at this property.

Nice stay with ammenities

The check in process and communication with the host was very seamless. The place had a nice large living area with very good internet speeds. It was nice to stay in a quiet area, especially at night. The amenities including quality soaps, sheets, towels, and spices where very nice to have included.

Lovely retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was as described, cute little neighborhood and very quiet. We felt very at home and cozy in this house. Special details we loved: the incense, candles, and lots of throw blankets. For fellow cooking aficionados: there is good stainless steel cookware along with some non stick style skillets. Also there is a medium sized soup pot. A couple big knives and good wooden & plastic spatulas/big spoons/mixers etc. One note, I am 5'9" and the shower head was very close to my head, so if you are around 6' the shower may not be very comfortable. Very good communication with the host and it was easy to check in and check out of the property. The internet connection was very good the entire time. Also, the lighting in the house is lovely, lots of dimmers and warm light which I appreciate. The ambience is very cozy and warm.

Practically perfect in every way🐞

The cabin was perfect... almost. Check in was easy and the place is truly surrounded by trails and climbing. The bunk beds are in a room off the back of the house and it was cold. The back doors didn't feel very secure. There were also a lot of lady bugs. The fireplace had a hard-to-use controller and smelled of gas when we used it. There were no washcloths in the bathroom so we used a couple from the kitchen. There were ants by the fridge. We loved the decor and candles and insence. The long table behind the couch was ideal for spreading out and hanging out. I would stay there again for sure, but I'd sleep in the living room instead of the very back bedroom.

After staying 2 nights at the Zen cottage in Gardiner (same host), I decided to stay an extra night, but only this location was available, so I booked. I walked in to a very tidy beautiful space, albeit a lot less work went into restoring this space compared to the prior, furniture definitely not as cozy. The blanket covering the boarded up door (in the sauna room) had a very large nail sticking out, luckily I saw it before bumping into. I did notice some foul smells around the fire place, I noted the landlord and he said he'd check it out after I leave. He did and called me telling me that he didn't smell anything. He was kind in replying fast, but I wanted him to know this property was not worth the same amount I paid for the Zen House in Gardiner. I wouldn't book again, but I really appreciated the prompt replies when I had questions.

Thank you Samantha for the feedback. It is very unfortunate you had negative experience. Like I mentioned I personally cheeked the smell issue you described and we found absolutely nothing wrong. For all the fairness you should have also added in your review info about you having a condition of being extra sensitive to smells which you told us about. Thus, I am not sure if it is a "fair" assesment of our property based on your condition.

decent house, good location, difficult owner

About 2 days before out departure we got a long, long, long list of don't dos from the owner. A lot of them having to do with his neighbors, including one that asked you to not walk on the streets in the neighborhood. Taken together it was very off putting. When we arrived at the house, the temperature inside was 65 degrees. I tired to follow his directions on using the thermostats but was not successful. I messaged the owner on VRBO asking for a phone number where I could reach him at and his assistant simply repeated the same instructions. They also were promoting a guide of the area they had compiled. I searched the house and could not find it. I again contacted the owner about the guide, the assistant sent me a link to it through VRBO but VRBO blocked it (according to him) so I never got the guide either. So 3 strikes and your out.

So sorry you had bad feelings about our House rules. There were not too many. The biggest one is not to walk around private property that belongs to my neighbors as my neighbors are asking me to protect their privacy. I am very puzzled why it was such a big turn off. First of all our House rules were clearly explained PRIOR to the reservation so guests can decide if they like our place/rules etc without committing to the reservation. Secondly privacy is such a basic right in this country and the rules are just really the protection against unreasonable behavior. As for contacting me, directly my phone number was always available through the listing. Moreover, I specifically mentioned my phone number in all of my check in messages and ask guests to to contact me directly if there are any issues that my 24/7 answering service team can not answer via the vrbo messenger.
