What a wonderful stay! I’ve found that in upstate New York, the first two weeks of August are the best as far as weather. That’s why I chose to stay one of those weeks at this property. It is an absolute delight. Overall, the space is cozy but not cramped. Ample space for two people (friends using the two bedrooms), and for a family with children it would be excellent as well. The furnishings are comfortable, the kitchen is very easy and complete, and it is clearly set up for year round use. The water is very soft…be prepared for that, perhaps bring an air freshener for the bathroom because it can be a little “odiferous” in the morning, but that’s a minor issue. There’s a great deep bath with a shower that is very easy to use. What is most magnificent about this property is the setting. It is a little slice of heaven! The owners are clearly focused on their property, its proximity to the small creek behind the house, and the expanse of property in front of the house. The landscaping is beautiful, and the entire property is carefully and sensitively tended. The views are fantastic, and the creek is immediately accessible for cooling off. The rocks are slippery so best to go in pairs (in case one needs help). The water is clear and cool, and the little waterfall is visually and sonically beautiful. The locations allows easy and quick access to the town of Woodstock. We also visited Kingston, Rhinebeck, and Hudson which are all 30-40 minute drives.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
