50th Birthday Bash

We had a great stay. The house was clean and met all our needs. We used the fire pit on Friday, used the back lawn for yoga on the river bank and lunch on the porch. The keyless entry was great for ins and outs for our group.

Lovely Spot

The house is delightful. Very comfortable and well stocked with all you need for a weekend at the river. We enjoyed our stay. Only negative was gunshots at 6AM on a Sunday morning. I assume they were goose hunting but this seems strange given the residential nature of the home. Thanks to our hosts!

This was our 2nd time staying her and overall we love the place! Only downside is that we wish that the outdoor deck was better maintained and that the host provided citronella candles etc to combat all the bugs vs us having to buy our own for the house.

Beautiful location and space

Multiple family members stayed for a family graduation party nearby. Kelly was quick to respond to questions and the duplex house was beautiful, all newly done and decorated. The location was fabulous, and we only wish the weather had allowed us to enjoy a fire outside on the riverbank. My only suggestion would be to provide sheets and blankets for the couches since they are considered as beds for two people. We did find two extra pillows in one of the bedrooms and there were two throw blankets (I did not look in the other bedroom for extra bedding as my Dad was sleeping in there, so they could have been in there). Overall it was a great place that was as advertised. We appreciated the coffee as I mistakenly bought whole bean and would have missed my morning java! Thanks, Kelly!

Over Night Short Stay

Great Host and Over-All property. Very clean house but more attention needs to be taken in bathroom. Towel closet and bathroom loaded with long hair from past renters. Towels had hair all over them. Only things we were not fond of were the neighbors partying, loud music, and foul language with having 4 yr old with us. Also not a fan of the cameras! The feeling of right to privacy is infringed upon! Rented with assumption this was a single property but there are other rentals attached. Wasn’t an issue but had I known this in listing we wouldn’t have rented just due to personal preference. With all that being said was definitely worth price, freindly host, and very nice property.

Family trip with teens and grandma. Beautiful home but unprepared for the gnats outside. Quiet location. Peaceful to sit outside around the fire pit.

A nice place to come home to!

I grew up in Wallkill, and had to return for a funeral. Kelly was super responsive to my questions, and she made booking with little advanced notice very easy. The house is super cute, clean, and well-equipped. Having a comfortable place to stay made a sad and difficult situation more bearable.

Fantastic

Check in process was incredibly simple. The furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was beyond well equipped. They have an entire cabinet loaded with spices and coffee. This property had a toaster, a coffee maker, 10+ pots and pans, aluminum foil, baking sheets, etc. Loads of fresh towels and extra sheets were available. Each room is climate controlled with its own thermostat. The location was also amazing, very quiet. Definitely 10/10

Close to Vineyards

My girlfriends and I stayed here for a long wknd and it exceeded our expectations. The house was located in a quiet neighborhood and very clean. The view of the river and the backyard with the 2 fire pits was beautiful. We set up the fire pit every night and were able to enjoy the outdoor space. We were very close to the vineyards which was awesome and plan in returning in the fall.
