Amazing Home with View of Catskills

An absolutely amazing stay. Stunning views from the great room, the ever-changing landscape and skies. Home itself is very comfortable with luxurious touches including cozy gas fireplace and soaking tub. Kitchen had everything you'd need to make meals and even bake a gingerbread house. A lovely welcome touch from the host (a bottle of excellent red wine) was much appreciated, thank you Amelia! We did not want to leave and hope to come back!

Exceptional place

Our family was full of admiration for this wonderful house and how carefully and thoughtfully it was organized for our four-day stay. Whenever one of us wanted something and wondered where it might be, we did a brief search--and there it was. Our family of eight prepared and served Thanksgiving dinner. The house provided the setting, space and contents for us to gather and enjoy one another's company. Thank you, Amelia.

Perfect weekend

We put our friends up for the weekend - 3 couples plus 4 adult children and one dog. Everyone had lots of private space, comfy beds, all kitchen needs, and magnificent views. The downstairs media room worked perfectly as bedroom #5. Amelia was responsive and helpful. Grateful to have such a lovely place nearby.

Gorgeous

You know how property pictures look so inviting... until you show up -- and are disappointed? Fear not: this property wows and exceeds expectations. While talking to others, it was difficult to refrain from gazing out the huge picturesque windows overlooking the Catskill mountains. The roomy house is situated near the top of the treeline, quite private, and stunning. And it doesn't stop there: the owner has thoughtfully provided all one needs for meals, although we only ate breakfasts there, but the coffee grinder was much appreciated. Warm, comfy and we'd love to return. Owner response excellent.

Absolutely perfect stay

This home was easily the best temporary rental anyone in my party had ever experienced and it was perfect for what we wanted: a spacious and comfortable spot out of the city to enjoy nature and a relaxed, fun time with family. The house was comfortable and very well stocked with everything we needed. The property itself is nestled away in the trees, the balcony view is beautiful, even when it was raining the huge windows made the house a lovely place to be. It was easy to check in, instructions were clear and the owner gave us helpful notes about hiking/restaurants/fun stuff near by. I hope we can return to this house one day.

Observe nature from the comfort of this thoughtful home

There are beautiful views from the windows and deck of this lovely home that look out onto a peaceful landscape. The sounds of birds, and the occasional glimpse of young deer scampering by add to the feeling of tranquility - a very soothing location with easy access to nearby state parks, and the city of Hudson, which has many choices for dining. Inside, the house is extremely comfortable. The great room is wonderful for gathering, and watching a summer shower, the kitchen is well-appointed with plenty of cookware and utensils. The primary bedroom is on the top level, en-suite, and a loft area with desk for working. Main floor bedrooms are a good size. The ground floor is like having a separate apartment available, with a bathroom and a den (including a sofa bed if needed). Wifi and air conditioning. Directions were clear, labels on switches in the house are very helpful, and suggestions for nearby attractions useful - we are grateful for the host's thoughtful planning in preparing her home for guests. My family and I had a lovely stay, and recommend the property whole-heartedly.

Great stay!

This home was incredible! Absolutely perfect for a family gathering where we wanted to just be together whether lounging, eating, playing games or cooking. The open floor plan made it possible and cozy. All the needs were thought of and we had a great stay. My one complaint, and it feels significant, is that the sofa bed in the den was practically not useable. It sloped at such an angle down that those who were forced to sleep there did not really sleep. The mattress was not supportive and the springs were very uncomfortable. I felt really bad for the family members who got stuck with that bed. Obviously expectations for a sofa bed are always low but this was not and should not have been considered in the number of places to sleep especially when we paid so much to be there. That being said, if four bedrooms are all you need, this house is perfect. The ping pong table adds a fun touch and the view of the mountains is incredible. We’d come back in a slightly smaller group for sure!

Truly perfect!

This place was a perfect getaway. We spent about 10 days here and were very sad to leave. The house is outstanding: gorgeous views, fall colors, plenty of space, perfectly stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and seating areas, lovely sunset and excellent host. Truly perfect. We were here as a couple, but also had guests for a few days. It worked well in both instances. The surrounding area is full of stuff to do and everything you need isn't far away including supermarket and farm stands. Note that you must go up stairs for most of the house, just in case there are any mobility issues in your party.

Family Time!!!

All I can say is the house was beautiful set back on a dirt road in the mountains. My family enjoyed there stay and we will for sure be coming back to enjoy it again. The view for the sunset from the living room was breathtaking. And so refreshing not to have a TV in the living room made it great family time. And just sitting on the deck was so relaxing. Perfect place to rent.

Remote but convenient Beautiful home

We were there for our 50th anniversary with 4 grown kids and 3 grandchildren. The layout of the house was ideal, with a master suite upstairs, 2 bedrooms on the main floor and 1 downstairs, with a separate living area. The highlight is the spacious and open great room, with tall windows and a lovely view. The kitchen is well equipped, and we cooked meals three evenings. It also has a nice fire pit with 6 Adirondack chairs. Although the property is remote, it is convenient to a supermarket (5 miles) and the lovely town of Hudson, with lots of restaurants and cafes to choose from. Bottom line: We made a great choice and will return again!

Great family home with beautiful sunsets over the mountains. Limited yard for children to play.

Easy check-in and communication with owner was prompt. House could have been cleaner for my liking and disappointed gas grill was not fully functional. Location is close to Lake Taghkanic State Park which we enjoyed on a couple of occasions. Fire pit was an evening ritual along with s'mores!

In town for Triform Camphill Graduation with family. The house was spotless, kitchen had every utensil & appliance, love that the house had well water and a refrigerator filter, plenty of towels and linens for the comfortable beds, close to Hudson. House is on a dirt road, set back with beautiful sunset view from the deck and excellent wifi. Would highly recommend and would rent again.

What a gem in the mountains!

I've been hesitant to write a raving review because I want to keep this house a secret - it is truly amazing! We spent a relaxing long snowy weekend for my birthday, just my wife and 5 year old son. Everything was exactly as stated. In fact the it was even more amazing in the real life than the pictures convey. Fully stocked and cozy, we didn't want to leave. If you must venture out for food, the West Taghkanic Diner down the hill on the main road was so good. Diner food, but for foodies. To top it off, the host was extremely responsive and even let us check in a little early. We will be back!

A blissful long weekend in the woods

Amelia's home in Elizaville was the perfect place to relax for a long weekend! We were a group of eight humans and three dogs, and there was plenty of space for everyone to both spread out and be together. One particularly delightful part of the house was the openness of the main room -- kitchen, living, and dining areas were all connected, with an absolutely gorgeous view of the mountains out the floor-to-very-high-ceiling windows. Another thing we loved: the outdoor shower! It was so relaxing to take a hot rinse on a cool evening under a full moon -- and there is plenty of ecologically-friendly soap provided. It turned out to be surprisingly warm when we visited, and Amelia was in touch about the newly-installed mini-split units in the house; in addition to the two units in the main space, each bedroom had their own unit, which made it so easy to cool the spaces we were actively using. One thing to note -- and Amelia responded quickly to our message about this! -- there are many carpenter bees who have made their home(s) in the wood on the outside of the home, which rendered the beautiful deck difficult to use during the day. We will absolutely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Amelia

I live in NYC and love to escape upstate to the Hudson Valley. It is a beautiful area, and the perfect distance to make weekend getaways from the city.

Why they chose this property

The Hudson Valley is simply spectacular. Close to NYC, but scenic and rural, the towns in the area all have their own unique charm, which allows an escape from the large, chains stores now ubiquitous in NYC. It is one of my favorite areas to explore and relax. There is always a new experience awaiting.

What makes this property unique

The house is located about 5 minutes from Lake Taghkanic state park, which has 2 beaches (one with a concession stand) and great hiking trails, one of which circles the lake for about six miles. Boating and kayaking can also be done on the lake.

15 minutes from the house is the city of Hudson, which has dozens of antique shops, bookstores, art galleries, cafes & restaurants, and a couple of movie theatres. Warren street is the highlight.

Also about 15 minutes away is Frederic Church's estate, Olana, which has beautiful views of the Hudson and the Catskills, gardens, and a museum of his home.

Also about 15 minutes away in Ghent, NY, is the Fields Sculpture Park at the OMI International Arts Center with internationally recognized contemporary sculpture thoughtfully curated over 100 acres of farmland.

About 20-25 minutes away are Red Hook and Tivoli, which both have local shops and restaurants, and are close to Bard College, where the Fisher Performing Arts Center is located. 25 minutes away is Rhinebeck (5 minutes past Red Hook on Route 9), which has excellent restaurants, shops, a farmer's market on Saturdays, as well as local artists, and an art house movie theatre.

Directly across the river are Catskill, and the Catskill mountains with incredible hiking trails, and Woodstock.

If you like classical music, Tanglewood, the summer venue for the Boston Symphony Orchestra is about 40 miles away. It is a favorite for the cheap lawn tickets to outdoor concerts on summer nights. Well worth the drive.
