Riverhouse- 1 Hr From Nyc- 2br /deck/ Hike/bike Trail

This was an amazing vacation. The host was so accommodating and helpful during our stay. She was available both times we reached out. [Our fault we had to call not hers.] The house had a cottage feel with a beautiful view that went on forever. Loved our stay and hated to leave. We can't wait to go back.

Loved this place. Quiet street along the west shore of the mighty Hudson south of Haverstraw. Two bedrooms upstairs have stellar views of the river. The star of the house is the east facing deck outside. Had several meals on the deck and entertained some family there in the afternoons. Lots of blue jays and other bird kept us company. Place could use a deep cleaning. Cupboards were a little dusty. Parking is a little tight but generally OK. Overall, a great place to stay. I’d love to come back.

The view of the Hudson (from many areas of the home, including the nice deck) is beautiful. It was obvious that a lot of love has gone into this home . It was comfortable and accommodating, having both up and downstairs sitting areas, and everything we needed. The hostess was very responsive.

First, I'll touch on the high points. We booked this house for our annual sister trip for the deck, and that did not disappoint! The hot tub was very nice, although the back jets didn't come on and the owner didn't know how they worked as the tub was new. There were nice fresh flowers on the table. We prepared a few meals in the kitchen, which is serviceable. If you plan on having meat, you might want to bring knives (if you're driving). I have to be honest, the house (and neighborhood) looks shabby. It badly needs a deep cleaning and facelift/refresh. It just felt dirty to us, from the doors to the kitchen floor/fridge to the space at the river that we ventured 118 steps down to and never went back. Exterior walls were moldy, wood rotting down by the hot tub, and the neighboring houses looked the same. We aren't super picky, but it bothered us--if you want a pristine and upscale place or have OCD, keep looking. The beds are very firm. I slept on the couch the last night. I'm used to a softer bed and had bad sleep; my sister said hers was fine. I suggest bringing ear plugs (barking dog) and an eyemask, as the house faces east and the rooms have thin curtains. And a bluetooth speaker to cover the neighbors' noise whilst out on the deck. It was nice to hear the waves lapping at the shore and the crickets at night. Get pizza at Mille Luci and burgers at Horsefeathers in Tarrytown! Check out the King Spa in Palisades for a Korean spa experience. Avoid Sparky's Diner.
