We had a wonderful stay-- the house is beautiful with tons of light on the main floor, a lovely pool, deck, yard and everything we needed for a glorious week in a magical corner of the state. It was delightful to just hang out on the property, but we also enjoyed several nearby adventures-- rafting on the Housatonic, driving/ hiking to the nearby sandy beach river bank, going for long bike rides in Kent and on the harlem valley rail trail, hikes along the river and AT, and enjoying some delicious meals at nearby restaurants. There are so many other local adventures that we weren't able to squeeze in, but the house is in a great location to experience it all! Thank you!

The house was perfect and had all the amenities. The property is gorgeous. We also loved the quiet location and pool. Everything was very clean. Town was about 10-15 minutes away.

This house was perfect. Had everything we needed. Kent is a great town, the falls are cool. We spent all day in the pool, which was great and had great fires at night. Had tons of towels sheets, cooking equipment….we will def go back, amazing secluded getaway perfect from Westchester. And the owner is very nice and responsive, checked in w us while we there to see if we needed anything.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2022
Pros: - exceptionally beautiful property with privacy and wonderful views - saltwater pool was perfect and such a treat - lots of room for families to spread out - great amenities for kids/families - location is great; secluded but still close to civilization Cons: - could have been a lot cleaner (dust/cobwebs, showers, etc.), especially considering the cleaning fee. Ants were present in kitchen when we arrived. - food scattered on front deck and trash stuck behind grill on back deck when we arrived. Had to do a fair bit of sweeping up. - A/C was not working for first half of our stay. Luckily, the weather cooled off significantly for the second half - very difficult to find, especially in the dark. Signage could be much improved. - short on some of the supplies you come to expect from rental homes (hand soap in every bathroom, plenty of toilet paper, etc.)
