This is truly a fantastic place. I’ll tell you about what makes it so fantastic and then I’ll tell you why I would probably not stay here again.
This home is truly a gem. It’s clean and neat with a ton of bedrooms, bathrooms, and outdoor space. There were 11 of us staying here and we all ate most dinners together outside — lovely. When it rained one night, we found that the dining room table fit us just fine. The home is well appointed. No shortage of nice wall hangings to look at, toiletries, toilet paper, spices and seasonings, trash bags, wood for the outdoor fire, and just about everything else. The outside is amazing. The day before our stay, the brand new firepit with grill arrived and was installed. Cannot wait to get one at my own house. The firepit was set on a gravel bed, making it especially nice. There was plenty of wood for it. The outdoor living room was a great place to hang out. Very cozy. The deck has a wonderful table for eating. On the other deck is an awesome hot tub. (Unfortunately, we had a problem with the automatic cover, but we still were able to use it.) The home is located very close to Hunter Mountain, Caaterskill Falls, Tannersville, and tons of other hiking and activities.
Here’s why I likely won’t stay here again, but for others, these will not really matter:
- There was a window air conditioner in the living room which helped a lot. However, the upper floor bedroom my husband and I were in did not have a ceiling fan. There was one, but had been disabled, due to how low it was. I found the nights to be very hot. There were floor fans in most rooms.
- The showers were very, very small. Also, I used the upstairs one, and there was really no way of keeping the water in the shower. Others who showered upstairs said the same thing. There is not a bathtub in the house, so if you have little ones, make sure they are okay with the shower.
- There were some bugs (ants and whatnot.) Clearly, this was an issue in the house, because there were many ant traps around. Luckily, we saw my youngest grandson grab one of the ant traps before it could reach his mouth.
- You must climb stairs just to get into the home. With my knees, I found this difficult, especially when bringing things in or out.
- The bedrooms downstairs were very tiny and the beds were not comfortable for those of our family who slept downstairs.
I still think it was a great place!
