Our group of two families thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The house is spacious and provides plenty of space for being together, or spaces for solitude. The reading nook was popular. Others were interested in playing the vinyl records. The campfire circle and the hot tub are relaxing places to stargaze. We also liked making a cozy fire in the wood stove on a chilly night. On a practical note, the kitchen is well supplied with all of the pans and utensils for cooking. Coffee lovers appreciated the two coffeemakers and sipping different coffees. The laundry room was nice to use with an extended stay. Communication with the host was quick and easy. We would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at Diane’s property. It was a wonderful location, great accommodations for us and the other family we were traveling with. We enjoyed taking the short walk down the road to the stone church and taking in the beautiful views. And we had perfect weather to enjoy the many decks! We also appreciated the nice touches like labeling where things were, and having two coffee makers! Diane was super responsive when we had questions, but we didn’t have many because she provided great information up front. We would love to stay here again!

Beautiful, comfortable place with a well stocked kitchen and lots of charm! It was absolutely frigid all weekend - so we got to spend all day inside in front of the fire (except for the time we spent in the hot tub!). I'll definitely be escaping here again soon!

We loved our stay here! The house is as advertised if not better. We had 9 guests and could comfortably fit all into beds, in the living room, and at the dining room table. The kitchen was well stocked and all appliances work smoothly. Diane did a great job of providing clear, fulsome instructions to use everything. Neighborhood is great and there are fun things to do nearby. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Just about everything you could ever need was provided! Comfy beds! My only suggestion is that during the winter months they get the house warmed up prior to arrival. It was in the mid-50s when we arrived and we shivered in our winter coats for hours before it finally warmed up. After that, it was fine, though. Beautiful grounds and very comfortable!

Just passing through

The location is isolated yet well worth the drive. Quiet and scenic. The house is unique, wonderfully squeaky floors which brought me back to childhood homes of my grandparents.

The house may have been built as early as 1910 but has been updated over the years with an eye to keeping the original feel - seems like that has worked.

Family Mountain Escape

The property was nestled away in quiet Cragsmoor with easy access to hiking and other towns. The outdoor decks were a huge plus to this property, especially the side deck that offered shade in the morning to enjoy a cup of coffee. The kitchen and bathrooms were generally stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Outside grounds are beautiful and has everything you could ever want/need to enjoy hanging out with family and friends. Kitchen is well stocked and house is super homey and comfy. Host is super communicative and friendly. If we are ever up in that area again, we will definitely be coming back here.

Awesome House for a group

This place was fantastic and comfortable for our group of (adult) students who were attending a program locally in Cragsmoor. Diane had thorough instructions for everything in the house--the only hiccup was the checkin (somehow we never received the door code) but Diane was responsive on the phone and helped us right away.

I spent a weekend here with four friends looking to relax and unwind. We found the house extremely welcoming and comfortable, and we could have spent all day on the beautiful deck! Very spacious and stocked with everything you might need. We would definitely return.

My partner and I stayed at this property with 5 other of our closest friends over the long MLK Weekend. We’ve been doing this annually trip for many years now and this home was one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed! Communication/check-in was thorough and easy thanks to Diane. The house has a perfect blend of lived-in character with thoughtful and well-maintained amenities for guests. We spent most of our time reading and listening to records, hanging out in the living room by the wood-burning fireplace, enjoying a snowy, magical dip in the hot tub, and cooking elaborate meals in the kitchen, which had pretty much all basic supplies we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the staircase with beautiful banister made it feel like we were all home for the holidays together. Gorgeous snowfall and some sweet canoodling foxes running through the woods really set the backdrop for a trip we won’t forget.We can’t wait to come back, maybe in the summer when we can enjoy the property and nearby hiking options!

The house was beautiful!

Our group loved the house. Slept 11 of us comfortably and we hosted a small baby shower there as well. The hot tub was perfect for the -3 degree weather we had one night. The wood stove kept the downstairs comfortable. We had trouble with the heat upstairs but it was not a major issue and we let Diane know. Overall great stay!

If you want to see the stars at night like you can reach out and touch them, if you want a place that is so quiet you can hear the birds breathing, if you want walk a hundred feet to the edge of the mountain, sit beside a 130 year old church and drink your coffee while looking at the beautiful foliage, if you want to see the deer and the foxes or an occasional bear (harmless) then this is the place for you. Make a fire at night in the pit or inside in the wood stove... grab your beverage of preference and relax... you may not even see a car drive by all day.
basically a 1 minute walk to the Old Church -
