Great stay
What a wonderful space for our family to gather. I had communicated with the host prior and asked about baking at the house for our family gathering and she assured me that they had everything necessary. When I arrived I was amazed to see how well outfitted the kitchen was, from a wonderful mixer, to pans, to measuring cups, even flour and spices. This was a lovely surprise. Everything thing you need is at your fingertips!!

Family Reunion
This is a wonderful place to stay if you are going to that area of upstate New York. It is a beautiful farmhouse on acres of land in a quiet tranquil setting. The house easily accommodated our family of 10 and the kitchen was perfectly set up for home cooking. I would recommend this property to any family visiting this upstate New York area.

Perfect weekend reunion
There was plenty of room (more than we needed) for the six of us to stay comfortably. The house is extremely well stocked. Very clean and comfortable. John was an amazing host and was readily available for any questions or problems. Would absolutely stay here again.
