Stayed for a long 3 day weekend this past week. Bruce, property manager, was absolutely wonderful to work with. We have rented vacation homes for past 20+ years and this might be the best , most tranquil, relaxing and "bang for the buck" of any of the homes. The pictures are excellent , but the house is even better than the pictures portray. A fabulous vacation getaway in the mid-Hudson River Valley. We were located a short 10-15 minute drive to the towns of Woodstock, Saugerties, Kingston, and Rhinebeck for antiques, food/restaurants, shops, etc. For sightseeing or entertainment, it's close proximity to Wineries & Vineyards, Distilleries, and Brew Pubs/Micro Breweries provide much to do. One of the best features of the location is it's close proximity to the Kingston-Rhinecliffe bridge. If you check the map, and know the area - - - bridges crossing over the Hudson to cross from one side to the other are few and far between. The bridge to cross over the mid-Hudson River is only 15 minutes away via Route #199 in Kingston, home of many restaurants, shopping. A few short miles south of Kingston takes you to Rhinebeck. Many fine restaurants dot the landscape along Main Street of Rhinebeck, and highly recommend many restaurants there. The bridge alternatives are travelling 50 miles north or south. A GREAT location for traversing both the east bank of the Hudson (Dutchess Wine Trail / Hudson Beverage Trail), or the wineries on the west bank (Shawangunk Wine Trail) to the south, Angry Orchard, Orange County Choppers further south! The home is inviting, quiet, with a fabulous amenities, great porch and backyard area, and the fire pit was delightful. I would highly recommend this home and in fact, will be booking it shortly for another weekend. KUDOS to the owner for her thought in construction of the log house, and to Bruce for his care in booking and delivering on a fine experience. The Kitchen is well equipped, living room, bedrooms and downstairs immaculate and "showroom quality". The downstairs pool table is top notch, and plenty of room to relax. An absolute gem of a vacation rental home!!
