La Petite Maison, Chatham, NY

This is a very nice property. It's situated on the edge of the woods and is very quiet and very peaceful. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the showers were great! Deer came to visit out by the back deck. Close the sites of Hudson Valley. This is a very nice place to stay and relax.

I spent August, 2021 at Tali’s Chatham house. The house is equipped with many good things and Tali was mostly agreeable, but if I had read the description more carefully, I would have noted the lack of a dish washer, and blackening curtains or shades, a situation that I immediately rectified (Tali did offer blackening curtains, but many days later). Further, I would have explored the meaning of “not accessible” (as the house is categorized) because entry to this house requires strong and steady legs in order to navigate an uneven cement pathway and eight steep stairs.

Lovely and responsive hostess. Inside exactly as it appears in photos. Not shown are exterior access stairs. Well equipped kitchen, including salad spinner (but no dishwasher). We enjoyed our month long stay.

It has been tough to work from home and stare at the same walls that we're also living in. We needed a change of scenery and needed a quiet getaway, someplace where we could work during the day and relax and feel at home at night. We found that with this home. Tali called us to walk through the check in procedures, and when we arrived, there was soft music playing, the "fire" was lit (electric fireplace), and there was even a stuffed animal and a box of chocolates waiting for us! I don't think I've ever felt so welcomed on a trip than arriving here. It had recently snowed and there were paths shoveled out to ensure our safety. The house was meticulously clean, the kitchen had everything we could possibly need except for the food, and the property itself was breathtaking. I think we heard more trains than cars pass by, and it was exactly the type of quiet we needed: quiet at home but a 5-minute drive to town and the nearest grocery store. The Roku TV allows you to connect right to your own streaming apps and logs you out when you depart. There are no keys to lose or forget; you enter the back door with a code that Tali will give you - a word of advice is to screenshot or save it somewhere handy or you'll be scrolling back through text messages like we were! It's a nice change from having to remember another set of keys. Tali checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which was so appreciated, although we couldn't have possibly needed anything.
