A wonderful spring break retreat, near the Mohonk Mountain House

We loved our stay in this spacious, well decorated, and comfortable home during our kids' spring break. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable (and fun, two having cool loft areas to hang out/sleep), the kitchen well-appointed and massive, and the private living room area with TV was a favorite for family movies and puzzling. Highly recommend and would love to return during warmer weather to take advantage of the pool!

The perfect chef’s vacation

We stayed here because it had a lot of bedrooms and was pet friendly. We were overawed by the large kitchen, complete sets of knives, dishes, cooking utensils, and pots. Our family likes to cook together. This place was excellent for cooking and hanging out together while cooking. There’s a separate side room/den for TV for those who want to get away from the crowd. The bedrooms were very nice. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms are very nice. The Jacuzzi bathtub in the master bath was awesome. I would highly recommend this location.

Wonderful breath of fresh air!

We had a wonderful stay for a long weekend in this beautiful house, which allowed for both privacy and very comfortable places to gather. Our extended family took a collective deep breath and relaxed together. The house is only a short drive from local groceries, restaurants and fall activities. We'd love to return again soon!

Annual upstate family vacation

Our family loves this house. It’s beautiful and in a great location. Love the cows next door! The house has everything you could want. We are a family of 7 adults and 2 kids and the house was perfect for us. We spent a lot of time in the pool and bbqing with family. The kitchen is exceptional and a great hang out for all. The owners were always in touch and the house was spotless when we arrived. The linens and towels are quality and there were plenty of pool towels. We are looking forward to spending another great family vacation here! This house was a 10!

exhale from the city

What a wonderful stay in High Falls! The house is outfitted perfectly: the kitchen is a chef’s dream, and just a great hang-out space, the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and the linens are crisp and clean. The organization of the space allowed our group of friends and family to be together or find moments of separation, some of our gang was watching a movie in the separate den room and we couldn’t hear a peep when we were in the living room chilling in front of the fire - which is hard to come by. There is also a really cool ping pong table in the basement for a little physical fun. We walked in the woods and went on a nearby hike one day. I kept sneaking out to look at the cows next door, an instant exhale and restorative break from the big city. This was the first time visiting High Falls, we needed a breather that was close to the city but felt far away. It was a bit of a last minute trip and Leslie was so responsive in meeting our needs. The check-in and out was smooth and intuitive. We really look forward to staying there again this summer when the pool is open, and to explore the surrounding towns and farmer’s markets! I highly recommend the house, it couldn’t be any better!

Christmas Gathering

Amazing home in a perfect location for a multi generational family Christmas gathering (dog included!). We were able to prepare and share meals, do puzzles and enjoy the fire all at the same time. Looking out at the surrounding nature - including deer and the neighboring cows- was a treat! We felt very supported during our stay. Would highly recommend!!

Another wonderful visit!

This is our third visit to this beautiful property. The home is beautifully maintained. Our grandkids officially call it the Christmas house since we gather from near and far to celebrate Christmas early. Leslie communicates quickly and has been great to work with. The home is perfect for families, with a great kitchen , lots of comfy room to spread out and couldn’t be cozier. We are already planning dates for next year, the ultimate compliment! Wish we could give it 10 stars. Thanks for the hospitality Leslie!

Perfect Getaway

High Falls is situated near very cool towns with much to do. There is hiking, fine dining, bike rides and this particular weekend a Pickle Festival on the Ulster County fairgrounds. The house is spacious with a large very well appointed kitchen and 5 bedrooms. The finished basement has a ping pong table. The house is simply but beautifully furnished and meticulously maintained.The property is private. The only thing you can see are the cows on the next property.The owners leave their phone number in case anything is needed and the caretaker is nearby.

A perfect summer rental

My wife and I have stayed in this house every summer for the past few years and love it. This year my wife and I chose to be alone for the first week after which we had our children and grandchildren come up. Being alone in this great big, beautiful home was ideal for just relaxing, swimming in the pool while enjoying the plethora of restaurants in the area. And then having our children and grandchildren come up was a treat for all of us. The kitchen is ideal for group cooking with plenty of room at the table, indoors or outdoors, for eating together. It's a beautiful home, with all the modern amenities. The 5 bedrooms allowed for everyone to have comfortable sleeping arrangements. The master bedroom, with its large bathroom, a double shower and separate whirlpool met our needs entirely. And when my youngest grandchild awoke at the ungodly hour of 6 AM, there was plenty to keep him busy, puzzles, games and toys, allowing the rest of us to sleep. And when we were all awake, there was ping pong, the outdoor fireplace for heating up our "some mores", and the pool which is heated to the perfect temperature. Our renting this home has made my wife and I big stars among the children and grandchildren. I highly recommend this home. You will not be disappointed.

Marbletown Gem

This large home in upstate New York is ideal for family gatherings. Our group of 4 adults and 2 children had plenty of space to spread out. The photos and description in listing are very accurate. Kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to prepare large meals for your group and the dining table is huge! The bedrooms are all very spacious and all mattresses seemed very comfortable. House was very clean and well maintained. Check in/out was easy and Leslie was very accommodating by letting us check in 2 hours early. The area is beautiful with many great restaurants. We enjoyed visiting the nearby brewery and cidery and took many walks on various tails. Thank you Leslie Ross for allowing us to use your beautiful home.

Beautiful, clean, modern house in a peaceful setting

This house is really beautiful, big, and has tons of space for two families to spread out. We like to cook and make big elaborate meals when we rent houses from VRBO and this house has one of the best kitchens I've experienced. It's big so lots of people can be cooking together but it also has so many unique gadgets and tools (we often have to bring the more unique gadgets when we travel because most houses don't have them). There are many bedrooms and lots of little hang out, rest spaces so the group could get their alone time when they needed it and we could shut the kids away to have adult time. :) And it's set way back on a huge property with a cow farm bordering it so it was PEACEFUL. Especially after a stressful holiday period and a hard 2021, this was really welcome.

High Falls

My family gathered at Leslie’s house to celebrate Christmas. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The huge kitchen open to the living room with fireplace was the perfect spot to gather but there was plenty of private space for everyone as well. The house is as lovely as it seems in the pictures and the kitchen was the most functional of any of the many rentals I’ve stayed in. Leslie was a responsive and friendly host, we met her local caretaker as well at checkout and she was just as friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back!

My family and I love this home, the property is gorgeous. Located next to a farm, surrounded by woods, this home is a perfect escape from NYC.

Ideal Retreat for Family Vacation

We have been on numerous family vacations using VRBO, but Leslie's house tops them all. The kitchen was fully equipped for meal preparations. The open living area was a great venue for family together-time, as was the pool and deck area. Both children and adults had fun playing ping-pong. Deer and wild turkeys fascinated our grandchildren, as did the cows on the neighboring farm. Leslie is the ultimate host, quickly responding to emails and offering a myriad of suggestions for family friendly restaurants and activities.

Perfect spot!

This is the 2nd year for our family at this property. All year of our grandchildren anticipated the return all year. The house is as stated - spacious and comfortable. We cooked most meals in and had plenty of room for all of us at the dining table and the fully stocked kitchen was great. The pool and surrounding grounds are immaculate. We all spent hours down by the pool and delighted in watching all of our grandchildren improve their water skills! We all highly recommend this property-without Covid lock downs this year we were also able to explore the area for hikes and bike rides!

The entire family loved this house. The house was beautiful, comfortable and clean. The kids and my wife spent hours in the pool. We were just a short ride from great hiking and scenery. High Falls had really good restaurants and a wonderful supermarket was only 15 minutes away in Stone Ridge. The kitchen was ideal to cook for the entire family. My stepson and his wife are major triathletes and the area was perfect for their training. I would definitely book this house again.
