So peaceful
My family and I stayed for a nearby wedding and enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful property and the house was clean and cozy. Sound does travel, as others mentioned , but no big deal unless you have especially noisy early risers. Kitchen was well equipped and the house had everything we needed! We would stay again.

Three story hideaway near Hillsdale/Berkshires
Our party of four adults found ample space to spread out and relax at this property. There are quite a few stairs to access all three stories, including the main living space on the second story and the four bedrooms on the third story. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal). There is a very nice deck overlooking the lovely and sprawling grounds below the house. A fire pit was situated behind the house. There is a balcony and patio also off the main/second floor. Mini splits/AC kept the bedrooms and second story cool in summer. Washer/dryer on the first floor was convenient. About 15 minute drive to Hillsdale and closest groceries. Very good communication with owner.

Amazing interior and views, so much space!
This house delivers on everything in the listing and more. We had the groomsmen stay here as part of a wedding, and this house is a vacation all on its own, in a remote area, up a large hill, so it really feels like you're away from it all. The interior is as good as, if not better than the pictures. Gathering together for coffee as the morning sun rose through the windows was magical. We also played D&D at the huge table, mountain vista in the background. If you're on the fence about booking this beautiful place, I say GO FOR IT! It was worth every dollar, and the hosts are kind and responsive. I'd definitely book again next time I need to get away from it all with friends. Good things to know, but were absolutely not dealbreakers: -Sound travels and echos in this space, especially in the fireplace area and up to the bedrooms. The floorboards can be a squeaky too. Not a dealbreaker - our early risers just had to make sure to stay quiet as not to wake everyone up. - No curtains - there's literally no other house or person around, so I didn't care much about anyone being able to see in, but if anyone is sleeping on the couch downstairs (like I did, super comfy), know they'll wake up with the sunrise, lol. Not a complaint. I got this place for it to be sunsoaked. - No service- there's 0 cell service up here, but the Wifi is insanely strong. I had wifi even down the driveway, and on the first level porch. Thank you to Alejandro & Cindy for the great stay!

Family Weekend
We were 2 families of 4 (4 kids aged 3-6). Plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably and even more space for fun. It snowed 7 inches during our stay and the kids were able to sled in the front yard. The TV and board game options were great for the kids and adults. Same with the kitchen and dining table. Great fireplace and very responsive owner. We will definitely consider staying here again in the winter or the summer.

Just a wonderful house
The house is as beautiful as the pictures show. It is equipped with everything you could want. We were 2 couples in town for a wedding. The 2 master bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, were perfect for us. It was a cold weekend, and we appreciated the mini splits in each room plus the fireplace. Alejandro was very helpful and responsive. No worries about anything if you rent this lovely house.

Beautiful Country House
We usually spend a week in the Catskills, but decided to go somewhere else and were lucky to find this house. I had a few questions and the host, Alejandro could not have been any nicer or easier to communicate with and we decided to book a stay at his house. The house is on a secluded road, on beautiful property with a great view. The house is very comfortable and very modern. There is so much natural light and in the evenings, the decks provides easy access to a comfortable place to enjoy the night sky and sounds of the country. The ping pong table also provided for some family fun. From a location standpoint, everything we needed was close by and the house is a short drive to some great towns to visit, we visited Great Barringtion, MA, Hudson, NY we also took a little longer drive to Kent, CT. Overall, a great house in a great location with great views.

First, in years of renting through VRBO, we have never dealt with a nicer and more responsive landlord than Alejandro. The house is lspacious and well appointed. Very comfortable and wonderfully air conditioned (several days in the 90’s while we were there but the house was cool and comfortable. It is on a quiet road and a very beautiful surrounding. Quite convenient. Just a happy place to be.
