Great Location

Place was incredibly clean and spacious. Our family loved staying at this house and even though it rained on our trip, we enjoyed being in the house and spending quality time together. Restaurants near town are lovely and they’re only like 5 minutes away. Would definitely book here again with a larger group.

Beautiful property

Every morning, my dad took my 20-month year old son for a walk on the property, to see the wild turkeys and deer, walk down to the stream, and climb on the rocks. Perfect! The house was great and very clean. I enjoyed sitting on the back deck with a diet Coke and listening to the creek.The host was very responsive every time I had a question. I would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing mountain top stay

What a beautiful place. As a family with a 1 year old and a small dog. We were looking for a property we could relax in and spend a large amount of our vacation in and this place was perfect. The home was spacious, modern, comfortable and clean with beautiful mountain views. The property is akin to your own private nature preserve. There are all kinds of flora, fauna and landscaping to appreciate. Deers, gophers, foxes, wild turkeys can be spotted throughout the day. With a 5 minute drive to the town of Woodstock this place is hard to beat.

Beautiful property

My family and I came to Woodstock to celebrate my wife's birthday. This property was the perfect place to stay and was an easy drive to all the places we were planning to go to in the area. A beautiful, peaceful location with lots of room for us to spread out and unwind after a day of activities. The hosts could not have been more helpful. We will be back.

Private, comfortable and convenient to Woodstock

My husband, boys and I really enjoyed our stay at the house. We stayed Mon-Fri and would have even enjoyed longer. We were able to take a short hike down to the creek on the property, and spent the whole afternoon in our own private swimming hole. I loved reading on the deck listening to the stream. The grounds are expansive, and we felt free to roam and explore. While we were there we saw so much wildlife - turkeys, deer, and even a coyote. The drive to Woodstock was less than 10 minutes, and we were within a half hour from some great longer hikes. Vicky was responsive and even though we overlapped a few days with her and her family in the main house, we still felt that we had our privacy and full enjoyment of the property. We hope to be back sometime in the fall!

Clean Country Living

We arrived at this 3 story house on a very hot day, 95+ degrees. On arrival the A/C struggled to catch up. I contacted Vicki, the owner and she responded immediately and remotely addressed the issue. The house was immaculately clean with plenty of condiments, coffee, tea etc. for our use. Every day we saw at least 6 wild turkeys, a dozen deer, two ground hogs, and a fox on the property. We loved seeing the wildlife. Just a few minutes drive to Woodstock where we found excellent restaurants. As long as you’re able to navigate stairs this is a great VRBO rental.

Fantastic experience

You just can't do justice to a house like that with pictures. Our whole group was very impressed and happy with how modern and tastefully done the whole property was. And the views are incredible. The moment we entered, we said to each other that we should extend (sadly, we didn't have our work computers on us, so that couldn't have worked out). Everything was impeccably clean, and Vicky, the host, provided very detailed (helpful, not overbearing) instructions and recommendations; we also communicated well, and Vicky was very accommodating. A trip to the creek made for a nice and picturesque little hike without having to drive. We only stayed 2 nights and got somewhat unlucky with the weather, but this place more than compensated for it - it's like a full getaway in itself. We hope to come back sometime!

Even better than the photos!

This is the most beautiful, peaceful place our family has rented. We watched a family of turkeys descend from their roosting place one morning, and slowly make their way into the woods. Saw a family of deer every day, fawns cavorting around the apple trees. Great outdoor space for energetic kids to run around, and plenty for adults to sit and chat while enjoying the scenery. Indoor space ideal for a group; open kitchen downstairs with tons of natural light, large game/ media room upstairs with access to a covered deck! This house was immaculate & comfortable. Our barista daughter took full advantage of the amazing coffee set up! We would highly recommend this lovely house, and appreciate the clear & prompt communication with our hosts. Daniel & Vicky are gracious & accommodating, thank you!

Bliss in Bearsville

This architectural gem was a first-rate place to stay. The house is modern, well-appointed, immaculately clean, cheerful. The kitchen was well-equipped and pleasant to work in. The beds were comfortable, the rooms airy. House was fun to hang out in and lovely to look at from outside. The only drag was the elaborate and very thorough lighting system, which took a Luddite like me a while to master, if I ever did. But that's a mere quibble. The location is exquisite: lots of sky and stunningly quiet, with virtually no extraneous noise. We were a little startled -- an hour after our arrival -- to discover a bear munching on windfall apples in the old orchard not 40 yards from our front door. He then climbed one of the trees and sat on a high-up branch to eat the fresher fruit. He never came back, though. We had regular visitors of deer and turkeys, but just the single visit by the bear. I was a little surprised to find host Daniel and Vicky's house so close to ours, but in fact the proximity was not at all intrusive. We virtually never saw Daniel and Vicky; yet they were very rerponsive to our queries and needs. They were gone most of the week and we truly had that hill top to ourselves. We loved staying here and we hope to come back.
