About this property

Peaceful 3BR One Story Near Everything, Fully Stocked, Firepit, BBQ, Fireplace++

OCT 18, 2025 -- upcoming property improvements.
• We hope to squeeze in one more improvement before winter which includes improving the breezeway flooring. It would need to be done in stages. It will be done between guests, but might have an "in progress" look during upcoming stays.
--- We continue to improve our property to make your stay enjoyable ---


We have remodeled this beautiful one-story home to be your home-away-from home while in the Glenville area.

To allow you extra time and flexiblity, our check in time is at noon. Our 2pm check out time allows you plenty of time to get ready for your travel home, have some breakfast/lunch, and collect and pack your belongings.

We provide several extra supplies to make your stay even more comfortable.

SUMMARY OF AMENITIES:
• Spacious, one-story floorplan
• Brand new Forced Air Heat and Central Air Conditioning
• Fully remodeled kitchen, full bath & half bath
• 65" Smart TV and sound bar in living room
• 3 Bedrooms: 1 King bed, 2 Queen beds
• All bedrooms have Ceiling Fans, blackout curtains, 2 night stands, hangers, luggage racks, laundry basket
• Kitchen is stocked with multiples of dishes, glasses, and utensils; plus pots, pans, oils, spices, salt&pepper, etc.
• Small kitchen appliances including: microwave, toaster oven, pop up toaster, rice maker, slow cooker, popcorn maker, mixer, blender, and MORE.
• Gas fireplace in living room
• Smart TVs in living room, primary bedroom, and 3rd bedroom
• In a Quiet neighborhood near Town Center; only a half mile from the main road through Glenville
• 1st floor clothes washer and dryer, laundry pods, laundry detergent, fabric softener, dryer sheets, iron & board, drying rack
• Brand new and expanded back deck with dining table and chairs during warm months
• Multiple work spaces
• Gas BBQ Grill during nice weather
• Whole house generator: Glenville & Scotia and the area in general have notoriously spotty electrical service year round due to storms, falling trees, old infrastructure, etc. Should the power go out in the area, after about 2 minutes, the generator will take over and power the climate control, kitchen, lights, television, etc. Book our property with confidence. (Note that you might need to reprogram several digital clocks - or let them blink at you)
• Dimmable recessed ceiling lights in the kitchen and living room.
• Fire Pit with 6 Adirondack style chairs, each with a cup holder and a phone holder.

Experience the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Our spacious one-story home puts you minutes from everything, yet tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood.

Unwind in comfort with a brand-new kitchen and 1½ sparkling clean bathrooms, central heat and A/C, and a 65" Smart TV with immersive sound in the living room. Rest easy in 3 inviting bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queen beds), each with blackout curtains, ceiling fans, and thoughtful touches like 2 nightstands, hangers, and luggage racks.

Enjoy plenty of driveway parking, Smart TVs in two bedrooms, full-sized washer and dryer, and several work-from-home spaces.

Relax on the expansive new deck, gather around the fire pit, or on the comfortable living room couch. And rest assured with a whole-home backup generator (the power in the area goes out during both the winter and summer die to weather, car accidents, and old infrastructure).

We have meticulously remodeled and appointed this one-story home to be your home-away-from-home while in the Glenville area.

CHECK IN:
To allow you extra time and flexiblity, our 12 noon check-in time is earlier than most locations.

CHECK OUT:
Check-out time is 2pm to allow you plenty of time to get ready for your travel home, have some breakfast/lunch, and collect and pack your belongings.

We have tried to think of everything possible to make your stay comfortable and effortless.

****TAP or CLICK (maybe twice) ON A PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT AND SEE ADDITIONAL LISTING DETAILS WE HAVE PROVIDED.****

The living room is a spacious 21 feet wide with a large, comfortable sectional couch with a chaise lounge near the gas fireplace. The new forced-air heater and fireplace will keep you comfy, but you can also snuggle up with one of the several blankets from the blanket ladder while you are watching the 65" Smart TV with SONY sound bar.

Dim the recessed ceiling lights for added ambiance. The new central air conditioning system will keep you cool and comfortable in the summer or you can turn on the ceiling fan, if you prefer.

The whole house generator will keep everything running if the power goes out from winter or summer storms.

Head into the kitchen that is fully stocked with pots, pans, bowls, cutting boards, baking sheets, cupcake tins, utensils, and other necessities.
- The kitchen has multiples of silverware, glasses, plates, bowls, etc.
- We provide a wide selection of spices, oils, salt and pepper for you to use.
- We also will start you off with several coffees (regular, decaf, and flavored), teas, Hot chocolate, honey sticks, and sugar packets
- Our coffee bar has a drip coffee maker, a french press, a moka pot, and a milita cone (pour over).
- Additionally, there is a traditional kettle for the stove and an electric kettle.
- There are many kitchen utensils you would want or need to cook any meal.
- The kitchen has several other small appliances including a microwave, slow cooker, mini food processors, a waffle maker, pop up toaster, toaster oven (large enough to hold an 8"x8" casserole dish), blender, mixer, rice cooker, etc.
- aluminum foil, plastic wrap, baggies, parchment paper, etc

All three bedrooms have been finished with nightstands on both sides; plus luggage racks, laundry baskets, and hangers in each closet. Beds have freshly laundered linens, a blanket, and comforter/quilt. There are extra blankets in each bedroom closet and additional blankets/quilts are staged around the house, should you desire them.

Each bedroom has blackout curtains and a ceiling fan with light to further customize your comfort. Additionally, each bedroom has a full length mirror and a close up mirror so you don't need to crowd the bathrooms.

The full bathroom is stocked with bath towels, hair/hand towels, and wash clothes. Additionally, we provide paper towels, cotton balls, cotton swabs, tooth floss sticks, bar soap, air freshener spray, and a hair dryer. The shower has shampoo, conditioner, gel wash, and bar soap.

The front closet has books, games, and puzzles for you to enjoy. There is also a standard vacuum, a battery powered "stick" vacuum, a broom, dry mop, dust pan, etc in case you have a spill that you need to tend to.

There are three desk areas for work, puzzle making, makeup application, etc. (Living room, Bedroom #2, Bedroom #3)

We have left extra:
- Paper towels
- Toilet paper
- Garbage bags
- Towels
- Blankets
- Pillows
- etc.

9/2025 We replaced and expanded the Deck:
In nice weather, there is a table and chairs on the back deck. Down one set of steps is a gas grill. Down the other set of stairs is the fire pit and 6 Adirondack style chairs (each with a cup holder and a phone holder). The yard is large and level.

8/2025 We replaced and expanded the driveway and walkway to the door:
The driveway now will hold up to 6 vehicles and the walkway to the entrance door is now wider and smooth.

6/2024 We added a whole house generator:
Glenville notoriously has an unstable electrical grid during summer and winter storms. You can book this house with confidence knowing that if power in the neighborhood goes out, within about 45 seconds, the power to the entire home will resume allowing the heater, air conditioning, lights, TV, refrigerator, etc, to continue to run.

We have provided a house manual with lots of information including:
- where things are in the house
- commonly asked questions like "When is Garbage Day?"
- the closest place for coffee, non-chain coffee shops nearby, big coffee nearby
- where things are in town
- recommendations on stores and restaurants
- etc.

During the spring/summer/fall, we might have to perform landscaping activity during your stay. We will do our best to arrange a convenient time. Lawn clean up takes between 1 and 4 hours. (The town is particular so we cannot necessarily wait until the house is empty).

In the winter months, we do not provide snow removal service, but there will be shovels in the breezeway and can provide phone numbers to plow services, if needed. We also provide salt for the stairs and walkways.

The house is near a small municipal airport that also is the home to Stratton Air National Guard base so there are often small planes flying overhead and large military planes over the main part of town.

There are many trains that run through Glenville so low horns can be heard in the background.

Our fire department has a horn that alerts the volunteers to an event. Don't worry if you hear it! All is well.

Have any questions? Want to know if a specific amenity is in the house? We have provided a house manual for self-service, but we hope that you will message us if you have any questions!

Rent this house!

I spent a long weekend with my adult children celebrating an early Christmas at Gena's VRBO home. We were so happy with the home, the kitchen in particular was very impressive with beautiful appliances, every kitchen tool we needed, and extras like spices, a coffee bar, and vast counter space. We cooked many meals and loved having so much space. The beds were comfortable, there were more than enough towels, and the sectional was perfect for morning coffee chats, evening movies, and to root for the Buffalo Bills! Gena had the home decorated for Christmas inside and out. I have rented many VRBO's over the years and this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. We are already planning another gathering soon. Thank you, Gena, for being such an outstanding host!

Great stay and communication- "home away from home"

We had a baseball tournament in the area for my 16y/o son and stayed here with another parent and their son. From the first point of contact with owners this was a great choice. The home is cute, comfortable and they have been extremely thoughtful on all the offerings. The kids played wiffle ball in the yard everyday and were so happy to have a "home" to come back to after each game. Great neighborhood and literally 5-30 minutes from anywhere. The kitchen is completely equipped with everything along with the bathrooms. If back in the area again will definitely try to book this home. Thank you for a great stay! Highly recommend.

Perfect house for our family!

Husband, wife, 2 teens, and my MIL stayed here for a family memorial service. The layout was perfect. We even had more family over for dinner and we were all very comfortable. Super convenient to groceries and whatever else we needed. It was a great, quiet neighborhood that made for very pleasant morning walks. The host was very responsive. Thanks for everything!

Review of Glenville one story 3br property

We stayed May 3 thru 5. This rental is in a quiet neighborhood. The pictures for the listing are accurate. The kitchen is first class, and well equipped with everything needed and desired. The bedrooms were fine, and the beds were comfortable. The full bathroom has a shower that that will get as hot as you desire. The host, Gena, was prompt in her communications and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this property! Paul

About the host

Hosted by Gena Dean

Host profile image
We recently moved to Glenville to be closer to family.

Why they chose this property

Our vacation rental is in our neighborhood only 2 blocks from our home. We bought her to primarily host family and friends when they are in town, so we have remodeled her with some higher end finishes and lots of comfort items. We changed her floorplan to be more open, bright, and make more sense for today's comfort and we are so pleased with how it came out!

We are still working on the landscaping and outdoor areas. The town is planning to rip up the apron of our driveway. Originally it was supposed to be Summer 2024; then Fall 2024. It is now planned for Spring of 2025. After they complete their work, we will repave and widen the driveway and add a turnout for extra parking.

What makes this property unique

Once in the house, our rental home is one story, making it easier to get around for tots or those with mobility issues. Her layout leaves almost no wasted space, making her feel much larger inside than her square footage would imply. This house is close to Town Center, but is in a neighborhood. You will see kids out riding bikes, folks walking their dogs, and neighbors doing yardwork. It's a great neighborhood!

Our property has central air and heat; a lovely back deck; a whole home generator (Glenville and the area notoriously have spotty electricity); and many other higher end features. We just love her and hope that you will too!
