Beautiful family escape
Beautiful stay - we were able to be with family and enjoy the place - home cooked meals, smores on the patio, watching beavers, deer and black bears (!!) from the breakfast table. Just what the dr ordered!

Great escape
Quaint, very comfortable home in a beautiful setting on a pond with wildlife. Was perfect for my family of five home was well stocked and really enjoyed making s’mores on the fire pit only negative was there were numerous ladybugs in the home. Not sure if it was due to time of year or window AC units not being sealed to window completely. We plan to return again next year

Suffern getaway
We were in town for a family wedding, and my boys stayed 2 nights with us. Overall the property is lovely, the space generous and the ameneties exceeded my expectations. The reason for not giving a '5 star' all around is this: 1. lots of traffic noise; I didn't realize how close the house is to Route 202 and 2. Once my boys arrived and we attempted to use the upstairs and downstairs showers concurrently, we (quickly) found out this was not possible; the upstairs shower turned off once the downstairs one was turned on. A bit of an issue for us.

West Point Trip
We enjoyed waking up to the deer and "Billy" the Heron in the mornings who had come to visit the pond daily. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our family to enjoy some time together while being close enough to visit West Point.

Relaxing comfortable retreat
The views from the sunroom and back patio were beautiful. Nice patio with plenty of chairs to sit and enjoy the outdoors. House was very clean and furnished with very comfortable furniture. All the basic necessities were there. We loved the sunroom also. Kitchen was spotless and we enjoyed making our meals there. There were 5 of us gathered and we hiked during the day and played board games at night. The owner was easy to reach . Not a fancy place if you’re looking for that but kind of like visiting your Grandmas house- very welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

This home and its property was ideal. I couldn't ask for a more comfortable and peaceful place. If you're looking for fancy, this place is not for you. If you'er looking for comfort and peace and quiet in a beautiful part of upstate NY, you've found the place! Thank you John.

If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in the Suffern area, look no further! Beautiful pond and stream seen from the dining area and back patio. Deer, geese and other wildlife to see. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen, close to town, yet private. The owner was accessible and helpful.

Lovely old-fashioned Farm House
Fun to sit in breakfast nook overlooking the pond early morn & twilight to watch for deer & "Billy," the resident blue heron. Finding the property's driveway entrance on busy Rt 202 was challenging, we missed it twice. Reflectors on the mailbox post would be helpful as would instructions for the T.V. system, including a list of available channels. But those are minor items; we thoroughly enjoyed our 3-day stay.

Everything was neat and tidy. The home had everything we needed. We saw multiple deer and even a bear on the property! There was plenty of hiking nearby and it was conveniently located to everyplace we needed to go. Checkin/checkout was smooth and easy. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Weekend at West Point
We stayed at this property while visiting West Point. It was very clean, cozy, and nicely decorated. We had basically everything we needed. The kitchen is fully upgraded and the living room was very comfortable. One note I would point out would be that the stairs might be an issue for older guests or those with mobility issues but there is a downstairs bedroom and full bath.

Quaint, wholesome, & restful
I really enjoyed my stay, especially the abundant wildlife on the property (blue herons, herds of deer, pond life, etc). I had everything I needed (I stayed alone, and was able to stay the full week on the main level). The view from the kitchen is pure peace and tranquility. I would caution parents to consider 2 things: 1. the property lies on a busy, fast-moving country road, though the house is set back quite far from it, so be prepared to keep kids in the backyard and supervised (I would also note that you cannot hear the traffic from this road with the air conditioners on in summer); 2. The twin beds are down stairs, while 2 possible traditional master bedrooms are upstairs. If you have a large family and will have young children at the house, you may wish to consider how to arrange sleeping arrangements as the children would be asleep on a separate level from the parents if you give them the twin beds. The living room feels like it would be the absolute coziest spot on the planet in winter, especially perfect for thanksgiving or Christmas holidays. The house has the cozy feeling of going to visit your grandmother with a nice, modern, and very functional kitchen with comfort and beauty throughout. I really appreciated renting this gem!

About the host

Hosted by John McKenney

Host profile image
Hello, I am the forth generation of my family to live in this area. I am an avid hiker, naturalist, wildlife enthusiast, and truly enjoy all the things outdoors.

Why they chose this property

This property is part of my family's original farm purchased in the late 1800's. My parents built the house their selves in the 1950s (hence the name Cynthia's place). It is an absolute gem of a location and I want to share it with others who also appreciate nature and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

The secluded location has fantastic views of the mountain and pond in the back yard on the 25 acre estate. Everyday provides for something new to see: the blue heron fishing at the pond, hawks circling over head, turkeys traveling through the back yard, deer at dusk or dawn, or just the clouds floating over the mountain.
