Second year in row for my wife and I at this home. Would have been the third time in a year if some other matters hadn't come up in the Fall. Always a great experience sitting in the hottub and watching the stars. Perfect place to clear the brain of the incessant mumbo jumbo that goes through it. Great Romantic Getaway!

Owner response:Thanks Rick!!! It's a pleasure to have you back with us again. So, so glad that you two like the Zen Love Nest and that we can share it with you. And yes, the starts are one of my favorite things about the place. All the best, Keith

perfect extended weekend get away

We spent three nights at the Zen Love Nest and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! We can't wait to return next month! Relaxing, romantic, beautiful river views, secluded and completely outfitted with everything you need to have a wonderful vacation away from it all. The yoga room is ideal for stretching, meditating and of course doing yoga! The massage room had a comfortable table; we loved the whole experience with great music and candles....you cannot find this anywhere that I am aware of. I was excited to meet locals and be directed to an eagles preservation area minutes away, where we were greeted by volunteers who couldn't have been more friendly or engaging. We saw a young bald eagle and look forward to more eagle spotting when we return to this home! Also great antiquing and local eateries that were serving up good food and good folks to meet! Thank you both for sharing your home with others, we are so appreciative of this kindness and generosity of spirit you possess....peace and blessings, debbie and mike

Owner response:Thanks Debbie and Mike, We are so glad that you liked the house and the area!!! Great news that you had some "exploration" time as well :) Looking forward, we definitely hope to have you back up again. Best wishes, Keith

Exceeded expectations

The chalet was the perfect getaway to celebrate our anniversary. Great location. Beautiful acreage far up an elevation overlooking the Delaware. Well designed and maintained house (the reality exceeded the photos online). Scenic and easy drive from our home in NYC. The owner was helpful in the extreme. No question went unanswered. We have rented several vacation homes and all things factored, this was the best experience yet. We would highly recommend rafting on the Delaware and lunch in Narrowsburg. Our testimonial is this: We hope to return!

Owner response:Once again, happy, happy anniversary! Terrific to have had you celebrate it at our Zen Love Nest. I hope we can have you as our guests once more.!!!

The photos of the Love Nest on the website look great, but it looks even better in person. The house was well-maintained, clean, and most important for a comfortable vacation, felt like home. We spent most of our time on the deck and using the grill, but the nice big windows on the entire back of the house let you enjoy the view from indoors as well. Finally, Keith went above and beyond as our host. He was friendly, professional, and very interested in making our vacation as enjoyable as possible. We have absolutely no complaints about our stay and would recommend this to others with no hesitation!! Thanks for a lovely getaway!

Owner response:Thanks Dilan!!! Especially wonderful to have you come all the way down from Toronto (8 hour drive!) and like it enough to share your favor!!! Much appreciated... Thank you both VERY much.

We could not have asked for a better getaway. The location is great- very secluded and quiet. We had two Black Bear sightings, which were surreal. Also, while rafting down the gorgeous Deleware River, we witnessed a Bald Eagle soaring through the sky and diving down into the River to snatch up a fish... IT WAS AWESOME. Keith is great!!!!!! Very caring and friendly, making sure everything was meeting our expectations. We will definitely be returning. If you are looking for a place in the Catskills and a view of all nature as to offer, the river, bears, bald eagles, dear, wild turkeys- This is the place for you!!!

Owner response:Nikki - we really enjoyed having you up at the house. We are SO, SO glad that you enjoyed the "sightings" and journey!!! We try our best and will be glad to have you visit us again!! Thanks!

my boyfriend and i stayed at the "love nest" over the 4th of july weekend and had a wonderful time. the house and the surrounding area are even more spectacular than in the photos. the house was immaculate and well appointed and we wanted for nothing during our time there. we particularly enjoyed spending time on the deck - grilling, sitting in the hot tub, and just admiring the view with a glass of wine. the floor to ceiling windows running the width of the house brought the outdoors in and the setting could not have been more beautiful or serene. the owners were wonderful hosts in absentia and very easy to work with. we hope to return in the fall!

Owner response:Great to have you both!!! Thanks for the awesome review!!!! We're continually doing our best to make improvements and simplify the experience of just being together. That's what our Zen Love Nest is all about! Glad that you two found the time to be there! We hope to see you again! Keith

My boyfriend and I had a very special weekend at this truly zen love nest. The view of the river from the deck is beautiful...particularly enjoyable while soaking in the hot tub. The house was clean, the kitchen had every necessary appliance and the bed was super comfortable. We had zero complaints! The massage table/room was extra fun too. Keith provided us with all of the necessary details we needed several days before our trip which added to our excitement. Highly recommend staying here. We plan on coming back again.

Owner response:Thanks Sara!! Wonderful to have had you both up at the house. We would welcome you both back at any time. And, so glad that you liked the videos and extras... Best wishes, Keith

Thank you Keith for being so hospitable and helpful. My friend and I had a fantastic couple of days at your home away from home! The house is ideal and all that it is described to be! Beds comfy, perfectly furnished and with such a modern, peaceful 'travelers' feel to it. As for the view and the surroundings - well if its beautiful nature you after, you have found the ideal spot. We would highly recommend it to anyone...even those I see on my return to Dubai! Thank you again for sharing your wonderful home with us; it was perfect!

Owner response:Thank you so much Angela and Su (Dubai and New York), We so much loved the opportunity to bring you two together for a reunion, with young babies as well. Great that you loved it! We do our best to make it mellow, inviting and peaceful. The surroundings indeed help! Safe travels, Keith & Charlotte

My wife and I were looking for a Peacefull Experience and that is exactly what we got when we stayed at the Zen Love Nest! Fabulous Views, Impeccably Maintained Home set way up on a mountainside overlooking the Upper Delaware River. We plan on making this place a repeat spot for the very foreseeable future for unwinding and pure nature enjoyment!

Our stay at The Zen Love Nest in February was amazing...

Date of Stay: 02/18/11 Review Submitted: 05/28/11

Our stay at The Zen Love Nest in February was amazing... The house was exactly, if not better than as pictured. We used every amenity the house had to offer. It was such a relaxing weekend...just what we needed midwinter. Sitting by the fireplace, the views of the river from the deck, the hot tub, massage room...it was truly a rejuvenating experience. The owners were very attentive and provided all necessary information. And as a matter of fact, I am writing this review from the house because since we loved it so much we came back in May. So far so good! Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful place with others.

Owner response:Wow! We are so glad that your experience was great. We try our best, and let the place do the rest. Thank you so, so much. Our home is your home. Best, Keith & Charlotte

We spent 4 wonderful days at this remote (but well within great dining) home. It was everything the owners said it was. Great location, terriffic views, quiet. The hot tub under the stars was an unforgetable experience. We will, without a doubt, return in the near future. Worth every penny!!!

Owner response:Thanks Bill - We loved hearing from you about your stay! We loved your hearing about your restaurant "find" for "Under the Pines" Look forward to having you back! Best wishes, Keith

Gettaway Weekend

Guest: J (New Hamsphire)
Date of Stay: 05/27/10 Review Submitted: 02/25/11

We had a great time at the Zen Love Nest. It was so nice to get away for the weekend and relax. We enjoyed watching TV, using the hot tub, cooking dinner, relaxing on the porch, canoeing, fishing, dinner out, scrapbooking, reading and of course the massage room (which was really neat). The house was clean upon arrival, well maintained, and there was even some food that they shared in the food. The owner was very helpful and responsive to questions. We enjoyed renting a canoe and paddling down the river and a trout farm, and heading out for ice cream. You could kind of hear/see the main road from the deck, which I hadn't anticipated, but didn't really bother us after initial surprise.

If you are looking for lovely scenery and a quiet, serene home to spend time at, this is the place. The open space with full windows let my husband and I be close to nature and its surroundings. We gained energy while the time slowed to allow us recollect tranquility. Thank you Keith for making our stay comfortable. Anna and Misha

The mountain love nest is a well appointed home that has everything you need for a relaxing and romantic getaway. We loved the hot tub and made great use of the massage table/room. Most of all, we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the porch, enjoying the scenic view of the Delaware River. The area has a lot to offer, fishing, boating, antiquing, hiking. The home is modern, neat, comfortable, and yes, zen. I would highly recommend it.

We stayed in the wonderful Love Nest for our 30th anniversary.. Keith & Charlotte have created a beautiful,serene sanctuary for celebrating life... It is immaculate & beautifully appointed with lovely decor that creates a spaciousness & inspires serenity & reconnection to each other & the earth... there are wonderful spots in the gardwens to relax, or read, meditate or just observe the surrounding lovliness of the river, mountains, & surrounding forests.... We were thrilled to observe the hawks, turkey vultures & an eagle soaring in the skies right above ... we even got lucky enough to see a bear make a dash across a road.. the hammock in the woods was so wonderful ..& the hot tub is private & the dark nights lit by a canopy of stars was magical...This is truly a place to let go & just be.... .

Thanks so much Keith! I also wanted you to know that I will happily trade a week of my timeshare in St Thomas (which is a villa right on the beach) for your beautiful home upstate. That's how much we loved your home. Thanks once again and we will be in touch in the future:)

The place was fabulous. We absolutely loved it and hope we will get another chance to stay there again sometime...It was also nice for me to get a massage in the room downstairs. The views were amazing and I took many pictures of the sunrise in the mornings. We cooked a wonderful thanksgiving dinner and enjoyed it watching the sun go down over the Delaware. We went in the hot tub under the stars every night. I feel like a million bucks! We also went horseback riding...Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We have been many places in the world (I have been in over 65 cities and 17 countries) and this past weekend has definitely rated at the top of our list. For me personally it was my favorite and I want to come back sometime in the future...We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone who wants to get away and recharge their batteries or spark up their love life. It was perfect. Thanks again and please let us know if you need anything else, we'll look forward to another visit!

Owner response:It was great having you and you both. We look forward to your next visit!!

We'd like to thank you for the opportunity to share your beautiful cabin-palace in the woods. Your house was the perfect place for my husband and me to rejuvenate and to reconnect and to remember all the reasons we decided to spend the rest of our lives together. We're recommending it to friends and family, and I certainly hope that wasn't the last time we were there ourselves.
