What an amazing location and Host. We were visiting our kids who live in Queens and decided to find a cabin for a weekend to get out of town. The kitchen and living space was great. Beds were so comfortable. You can hike to vernooy falls from the back door. It rained hard the day we arrived but outdoor furniture and wood was covered so it was dry to enjoy fire tand outdoors the next evening. What a great stay.

The cabin was perfect!!! I loved the piano - even played a little. Sitting on the deck in all of nature was peaceful and relaxing. Thinking about a fall trip back.

The cabin was very nice with a beautiful, large outside deck. The two bedrooms were nice and the beds were very comfortable. The smart home features were fun! The WiFi was strong and reliable. There are many toys, swing set and other activities for children outside. It was nice to have our two dogs with us! Communication with the owner was fast and friendly. I would highly recommend this property.

We couldn't have been more happy with our stay and with our hosts at this private, relaxing getaway in the Catskills. From our first contact with Andrea until the day we left the house, our experience was 5 stars. Andrea was very responsive and accommodating. She made sure we had everything we needed prior and during our stay. The house was clean and organized when we arrived. Parks were close by so we ventured out for a couple hours to enjoy a hike and splash in the waterfalls. It was such a peaceful environment and exactly what we were looking for in our weekend getaway! I would and will recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful place to unwind and unplug from a busy life.
