Beautiful location and wonderful hosts, but some room for improvement!We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful waterfront property. The home was clean, spacious enough for our family, and offered a lovely dock with boats that were well-maintained and ready to use. The indoor and outdoor kitchen areas were great for gathering.The hosts were attentive, communicative, and accommodating with our dogs. Their property website was incredibly helpful, and the minimal checkout requirements made departure stress-free.A few things fell short, especially considering the price. The dining table seated eight but only had five chairs. The dated sectional offered almost no support, causing back discomfort, and constantly separated while sitting. The beds varied significantly in comfort. One was so firm that a family member slept in a lounge chair, while another was noticeably angled.Some basic conveniences were also missing. The mudroom had no coat hooks, and the first-floor bathroom had a partially functioning showerhead with nowhere to hang towels or clothing. A few hooks would have made a big difference! The kitchen could have used additional essentials, and there was no iron. We also found considerable dog waste in the backyard upon arrival.Overall, we appreciated the beautiful setting and excellent hospitality, but for the cost, the comfort and amenities didn't quite meet expectations. A few thoughtful improvements would make a big difference!

The house was in a beautiful location, fully equipped with everything we needed and providing the linens was a true bonus. We enjoyed the attached screened in dining room both at breakfast and dinner. We hiked Bish Bash Falls and spent some time in downtown Hudson. The wildlife seemed to enjoy our visit as well because the yard at dusk was full of singing birds and baby deer.

Beautiful spot. We stayed for skiing at catamount with 2 families and it was perfect. Meticulously cared for, very clean and wonderful setting. Seems like it would be ideal in summer as well. Everything was exactly as advertised and stress free. Would stay again.

Lovely Home

This is the second property of Jenifer’s where we have stayed. Like the first property, this home was well decorated and had all of the appliances, utensils, towels, etc we needed. The location is central to many activities, and the lake view is serene. I will definitely come back!

Perfectly Perfect

Our family reunited from CNY and Boston to celebrate our birthdays. We enjoyed rejuvenating nights’ sleep on the comfortable beds (such soft linens!) and found many cozy places to read our books. The tennis court and lake provided additional hours of fun. Thank you for for sharing your beautiful home and making our weekend perfectly perfect.

Fall Wonderland

We love this house and the property. The lake is gorgeous in fall and the outdoor screened in porch is such a treat with the cozy fireplace and view of the lake. We made good use of the tennis court and kayaks. There is something for everyone. Jenifer was so great from beginning to end! Thank you Jenifer. See you next year!

A mixed experience

The house was spacious, very nicely decorated, and overall very clean (except for one big exception). In addition, Jenifer was responsive to my messages about trash pick-up and tennis courts that were accessible to tenants. I was disappointed that there were no canoe or kayaks present during our stay. I was later told they do not put them out until May. A head’s up would have been nice, since we were staying there in April. There was a water filter in the kitchen sink which was helpful, but the water coming from the shower on the first floor did not smell right. The sanitation needs improving. We noticed a foul smell from the kitchen. We discovered a mouse trap, still with the dead mouse, and mouse droppings in one of the kitchen drawers where they stored kitchen towels and oven mits. They should have checked and emptied the traps before we arrived. It was gross and wrecked our experience. She did send people over to dispose of the carcass from the kitchen, but I already disposed of it.

Beautiful lake

A lovely property. The lake was why we picked the spot and it didn’t disappoint. The house is nice, could use a bit of a scrub down—but ultimately had everything we needed! Would come back again.

Short stay with family

The property was as displayed. The location is nice with a huge, private yard. The kitchen had everything needed for a dinner and the BBQ area was great. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. The outside gazabo area needed a deep clean and the kayaks were unuseable because of ants. The TV area isn't very comfortable and the TV is very small with placement in a poor location for veiwing. With just a little elbow grease and updating, this property could be special. The manager was great to deal with and quick to respond. Overall, it was what I hoped for.

Wonderful Lakefront Home

The stay was lovely. Some unforeseeable issues came up before our arrival. Jennifer, the property manager, was immediately on top of it and let us know before we arrived. The house is lovely and clean, and Jennifer was responsive whenever we had any questions or needs. I am looking forward to going back again next year.

Fantastic

We loved our stay! This is a lovely home on a beautiful lake. (I would like it if they reinforced the deck, as it felt a little shaky :) The kitchen was amazingly appointed with everything you might need to cook any kind of meals. The beds were comfortable, and it easily slept 4 adults and a baby. Jenifer was super responsive to all texts and questions. It's a great area and a wonderful, clean airy home. You will enjoy yourselves!

Perfect property

The house was immaculate. We had every amenity we could have possibly needed. The common areas of the house were comfortable and the the bed rooms were bigger than expected. The large yard was very much appreciated and you could not beat the view of the pond sitting in the screened in shed. I will reccomend this place to anyone.

Wonderful girlfriend getaway

So much to love about this house, especially the beautiful outdoor spaces like the gazebo and spectacular view of the lake. Kayaks and rowboat a definite plus for those who like to get out on the water (although we found it tricky to launch from the sloped rocky shore or unstable floating dock). We also made good use of the indoor/outdoor porch in the beautiful fall weather. It was a great getaway for high school girlfriends in their 60s! The beds are bigger than described in the listing; the master has a king and there is a queen bed in what is called a den with a sleep sofa/futon. Bedrooms and sitting areas were well-appointed, stylish and comfy, and the kitchen had it all, including a cabinet of spices and oils to supplement what we brought with us. Appliances functioned well for the most part. The place was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. The host responded quickly and sent assistance with one issue we had, but did not see or respond to messages sent through the VRBO app. It took more than the usual emailing and texting to get the check-in procedures. Be aware that VRBO may send you messages that appear to contain check-in information, but they are blank. Several little fixes would make this place impeccable, for example, doors and windows that don't quite open or close, fans/lights that don't work, and a ceiling fan that crashes into the door when opened. The location, wonderful view, and welcoming spaces go a long way to make up for these little oversights.

Great family retreat

Property is located right on a pond with kayaking. It was a very relaxing experience. House is very comfortable with a terrific sun room with a round table. One bedroom did not have A/C but otherwise house is fully air conditioned. Appliances are in very good condition and washer and dryer is a plus. Jenifer was also extremely responsive. Would definitely consider returning!
