Yanna is a great host. Sauna was awesome. (Pool wasnt open yet) house is very clean and nicely decorated. Bathroom is smaller than we expected but does what it needs to. Master bed is very comfortable! Just up the road is a gorgeous waterfall. Thank you, Yanna, for everything.
Great Property. Just a few small issues which were rectified quickly by the property managers. Wish we had more time to enjoy the property but we were here for a wedding. Lovely Fall weekend and enjoyed the local farms apple cider and fall festival.
One of the greatest vacations I’ve ever had. Wonderful retreat. I may contact the host for architectural plans so I can build something of a similar similitude. Definitely a dream estate :D

A nice stay while visiting friends Beautiful scenery, hiking, apple picking, etc....or just a quiet getaway. Very much looking forward to booking in the summer to enjoy more of the hone's amenities. The online description is 100% accurate! Thank you to my hosts!
Very clean and comfortable getaway. Perfect for relaxation, especially the sauna. Beautiful trails nearby to explore. Yanna, the owner was accommodating, gave us a good list of places to visit. Unfortunately we had some rain but the fire stove and movies, besides reading was fine for us. I would imagine is even better in summer with that nice big pool on site.
Beautiful, clean, comfortable, cozy and so easy. Quiet and in the middle of nowhere but ten minute drive to everything! How is that even possible?
Communicating with Yanna was great; clear, generous, and flexible - so quick to reply to our questions or needs.
We were three friends come together from the far reaches of the country for a wedding.
In the mornings, we would roll out of bed, coffee already happening, and pour ourselves into the sauna. Then, all steamy and relaxed, we'd lounge for hours reading, laughing, drinking, talking in the adirondack chairs on the expansive deck surrounded by the lush views of autumn red and gold leaves. And later into the night, feasting indoors or out.
Great WiFi - worked a remote video job with ease.
Went hiking in gorgeous nearby Minnewaska State Park Preserve and, oh yeah, the wedding was fantastic.
The occasional rooster crowing was the only evidence of nearby humans. Exactly what we hoped for. Cozy and easy. We're coming back for pool season next time.
We met the property manager when we arrived. She was very nice and showed us around the property. The cabin was very clean and ready to go. The pool was also very clean and was very refreshing after our hikes in the near by mountains. The AC kept us cool even though the temperature was near 95 degrees every day we there. I am glad we chose to stay here!
This property is a very sweet little cabin that is in a fantastic location. We went hiking around Lake Minnewaska and then to Westwind Orchard. The sauna was a perfect way to end the day.
Super cozy and comfortable.
We stayed for a week with two kids. The house was a bit tight for space for us but definitely manageable for a week and there’s ample outside space with a very large deck and pool area. Our kids had a lot of fun in the pool and on the tennis court. And at Kelders Farm which is very close. There’s also a decent playground nearby in Warwarsing.
This is my second time renting this property and my husband & I love it. Secluded in the woods, but yet not far from restaurants, farm stands and activities. I just love staying at this property & enjoying the pool & BBQing. Be back! Elaine
We had such a nice time at this amazing stay in the country, we wish we could have stayed longer! Loved waking up to nature from sleeping in a cozy bed and having our days consist of the pool, tennis, and sunshine. Hope to return in the future!
We spent the Memorial Day Weekend in the Catskills and had a great time despite the constant rain and 45 degree weather. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the pool and only played tennis for 20min before it started to rain again. The house is great for a family - and would be even better w/o rain! It's centrally located to everything we wanted to do (Bethel Woods, Rail Explorers in Phoenicia, Storm King, Di Beacon, etc...) and was a comfortable home to relax and enjoy each other's company. We'd highly recommend to others and would return ourselves. Thank you!
The house is lovely and cozy and in very good condition. The property is lovely too, though we did not spend time on the deck given the 30-degree temperatures! It was a great base for the hiking and exploring we wanted to do in the area.
All of our dealings with the host were easy and pleasant. I would certainly recommend a stay here.
We loved our stay in this lovely, upgraded modern cabin. It was very well appointed and while peaceful and remote, also close enough to fabulous activities and services. Ayanna was the ideal host - responsive and communicative. She attended to lots of details and we can’t wait to come back in every season. Highly recommend this winter “snow globe” experience complete with gorgeous trees, deer and the sweetest indoor pipe stove. Already looking at booking for summer to enjoy the pool and tennis court. Thanks so much!
The house and surrounding property was very cozy and relaxing.
The house was clean and comfortable. Very relaxing views of the surrounding property from the dining room window and back deck. Very recommendable property.
I had a quiet week to myself at the cabin. It was absolutely perfect, and so close to the most incredible hiking. I'll definitely be back in the summer to use the pool and court. Thank you so much for the space to rest and relax.
Very comfortable and inviting - with a lovely deck and pool for outdoor enjoyment. A tennis court as well! Everything we needed was on site, from pool floats and towels and bath and kitchen supplies,
We just spent a week at Ayanna’s house.
The house is very cosy and clean.
We enjoyed the private tennis court everyday and relaxed at the pool afterwards in a beautiful setting.
We couldn’t have asked for more!
Cabin was perfect for family of 3. Well stocked cabin. Very clean. Pool, tennis and basketball were amazing. The bathroom is small but there is so much to love that you don’t really notice.
Hello Ayanna! Mike & Deb Hart from S.I., NY. Just back from our terrific week at your secluded cabin. Thank you for being a great host and being so responsive to our questions during our stay. We had a great time, loved the place. Great quiet area, great views from the decks, etc. And we could not imagine a better setup than a pool and tennis court close together and so close to house. Laying in a float when in the pool and looking up makes one feel as if you are in a treehouse.
So many nice touches inside the cabin and a great book selection of classics to read or reread. The television had a fine picture quality even if it being a total app tv took a little bit of time getting used to. Did not use A.C. that much but it did do a surprisingly fine job in cooling the whole house. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans and spices etc. Nearby major towns look enticing and would like to check out their taverns and restaurants when NYS totally reopens.
Look forward to visiting again
Residing primarily in Brooklyn with my husband and our sweet (soon to be 3-year-old) baby girl. We love to travel, enjoy tasty food, wine vineyards, exploring new places and lots of colors! Game of Thrones enthusiast. I love a good glass of wine and a thought provoking scifi flick.
