**Pets do not live on our property but when we do stay there, our dog comes with us. For those that have allergies it is a short haired dog (Italian greyhound), that has hardly any hair left because he is older. We always vacuum after every stay, so you should not see a lot of signs that our dog stays here when we are here.
**Please note: in winter weather (snow or ice) it may be difficult to get up our driveway, so please keep that in mind in the event that you book when it snows. The driveway will be plowed, but cars without 4 wheel drive or a lower gear may have trouble. Please try to get to the property earlier if snow is on its way.
**Watch out for poison ivy, after all, it is the woods.
**We have filtered well water which comes from the Hudson River, it is perfectly fine to drink and the best tasting water compared to most states. Better than bottled!

Summary: This house is definitely secluded, so if you like privacy, and we do, this is the place for you. The house is well stocked with breakfast food, and food for guests is well marked. House is spotless. Bed is comfortable. I had a long phone conversation with Lisa and she was friendly and honest about what to expect. It's a short drive to the sights in the Hudson Valley. The only caution is the gravel driveway leading to the house is long and rough.

Summary: This is a very nice little house in a quiet, yet very convenient location, which was absolutely perfect for our needs. Huge thanks to Lisa for very quick responses to all our questions. We'll be glad to come again if an opportunity arises.

Summary: Nice getaway after a day of wine and spirit tasting. The cottage was very clean and outfitted as advertised. Stairs may be a challenge for older adults. Bigest complaint is the coffee pot is to small when 4 caffeine fueled adults get up at the same time. All and all a great stay, thanks Lisa Gary and Liz

Summary: This comfy hideaway was a quiet, relaxing getaway for the weekend. The pond & trees surrounding the apartment were beautiful. Everything we needed was there & Lisa provided clear guidance. The only negatives were the very rough road/driveway up to the property & the very close house being built adjacent to the drive. But there was no work on the house to disturb us….& we did not go up or down the drive in the dark or in the rain. We enjoyed our well-needed getaway!

Summary: The house was clean and as advertised, and we enjoyed the property. Our kids loved walking around the pond and watching the birds and wildlife that we saw. We also enjoyed the porch for morning coffee. We found plenty to explore in the area. There is another house being built on the property, right next to the existing rental home. When that home is occupied, I could imagine that the area would then feel much less private and secluded.
