Incredible home! Lots of room. Everything is updated. The decor has such a cool vibe! The fireplace worked amazingly well and we loved how cozy it made the rooms. Everything you could possibly want or need in the super cool , extra big kitchen. Huge family table in the dining room to drink coffee and watch the deer and other wildlife stroll by the generous windows throughout the house. Great patio area with lots of adirondack chairs. Cafe lights strung outside to make it soooo dreamy. A fire pit with room for friends. The most comfy beds and bedding. Washer/Dryer if you need it. Huge laundry/welcoming room. The owners thought of everything and spared no comfort. Immediate response to any of our questions. Informative notebook with anything you need to know about the home. A closet full of toys..our favorite part. We can't wait to go back.

Great property

The retreat was very clean and open floor plan which worked great for our family and the privacy of a large lot with the bee farm (amazing honey) and natural landscaping just added to a very relaxing experience

Laura's home is comfortable and very well appointed. Sadly, we visited for a funeral in a nearby town, but we felt right at home in this quiet, cozy spot. Laura communicated promptly, and the check-in and -out went very smoothly. For a beautiful out-of the-way vacation, we would encourage a stay at this home. We only wish we had more time to investigate the natural beauty of the area or prepare a few more meals in the stocked kitchen.

Quiet refuge, yet close to the action

Nestled about 30 minutes from Albany, this gem is a great getaway for those looking to be out in the mountains, yet close to other urban options. A great launching pad for hikes in Catskills or the local nature preserves, just minutes away. The house is charming, clean and very comfortable. The hosts even left us some home made honey from their own bees and were super responsive when we had questions--though it was a simple process and highly recommended.

Quite time except for the natural sounds of the environment.

The retro fitted house was as nostalgic as can be. It is great place that has everything you need as if you were in your own home. This is truly a naturalistic experience just on the property and you add in the conservation area surrounding here just terrific. Birds in the morning and bullfrogs in the evening. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.
