Great Easter Weekend
Our family stayed at the property over the Easter weekend as my son-in-law was playing baseball vs Army. The home was absolutely perfect! Heather was a fantastic host and SO quick to respond to any and all communication. We walked to dinners and were so close to everything. This property is everything it is advertised!!

In Town Charmer
Our family spent a long weekend at this property and enjoyed it very much. Heather was very nice and easy to communicate with and we really appreciated all of the suggestions she gave us for things to do and see in the area. The house is well stocked, very clean, nicely decorated and updated. The neighborhood is quiet and very close to West Point Academy so if that’s on your must do list, this would be a great property. Thank you Heather for making our stay so enjoyable!

Great house in a terrific location
We’ve escaped upstate from NYC many times during the pandemic, but this was our favorite property. The house was immaculate, the hosts nicely left us wood for the fire pit, and took care of the little bit important details like Kleenex in every room, k cups for the coffeemaker, plenty of luxurious towels, shampoo and conditioner, and a well equipped kitchen. The location, right outside one of West Point’s gates, walking distance to MacArthur’s restaurant at the Thayer Hotel inside the gates, and to a wine store just down the block, and near to some awesome hikes, was super convenient. We also enjoyed all the great West Point memorabilia throughout the house. Nice large table on the deck and in the dining room gave us plenty of room to spread out. All in all a great weekend trip.

Great location and just as described!
The house is very comfortable and just as described. Heather was an amazing host and the first to ever text the address to easily input into GPS. So helpful! She was also very responsive throughout our stay. If your visit is connected to West Point, this is definitely the place to stay. The decor will get you in the spirit and you can't beat the location to the Thayer Gate. There are also plenty of restaurants and the Visitor Center within walking distance. The only thing I would change is in addition to all of the other very helpful signs, maybe one warning the water gets really really HOT. All in all a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. I highly recommend this property.
