Mohonk Mountain Living!

Thanks so much for your nice review. It was my pleasure to accommodate you; I'm delighted you all enjoyed your stay! Best, Ginny

Thanks, Emily. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry to hear you ran into mice. True, they are a fact of life in the country we take great care to seal up the house. Occasionally they do sneak in the kitchen when winter is approaching but I can quickly rectify. When it comes to bugs, I haven't seen any but occasionally we do see an ant or two so hopefully you didn't run into that. As for the shower head, it looks like it was turned to a half way point between spray settings and just needed to be turned. So sorry. I will put some instructions in my house guide to look out for. Please think of us again when visiting the area.

Thanks Patricia. Yes, the garden veggies have pretty well been spent by Sept. So sorry you were unable to enjoy them this year. Sept comes with a lot of plants on their way out and things get dry and dead and leaves fall and it can be tired looking time for the garden.

Hi Emily. Thanks again for your feedback and stay. Just to clarify, we do normally provide amenities like laundry detergent and charcoal, hand soap, dishwasher detergent, firewood, and the like but I do not include dryer sheets for environmental reasons. As for the books that upset your daughter, I'm confused. Our small library is most best seller fiction and non-fiction, hiking and nature guides, cookbooks and a few children's books. I'm sorry to hear something upset you daughter but I'm curious what it was. I can assure you we have nothing that is offensive, distasteful or even scary. Yes, the stove is in the living/kitchen area as it was an old cabin and that's the central place for the house. We do have two zone heating, one for downstairs and the other for up, so I hope you noticed that as you don't need to rely on the woodstove. Again, I appreciate your feedback and have taken into consideration a way to offer shades for visitors who prefer privacy. We like the open and sunlit feel so I am not a big curtain user but understand it's important to many. Safe travels.

I am very sorry to hear this guest was unhappy. I understand the fact the CSA had not yet started for the season was a big disappointment to them, as well. I realize a country cottage is not for everyone but I have a very strong record of providing a charming, clean, and well appointed place for my guests and am regularly noted to be very responsive (phone is attached to my hip, like most). It' true, we are on a main road that goes up the mountain. But being from the city, "main road" means something a little different to me, I guess. 20 ft. from the road is not quite accurate, especially given the bedrooms are at the back of the house. I will admit the motorcycles on weekends zoom by and I could do without that but most of the time I relish the quiet. As for AC, yes, I don't usually install the units on Memorial Day but this year it did get a little warm! The bathroom sink did have a problem but we did take care of that. Sorry, that must have been annoying. As for the ants, I really am sorry to hear about the ants. It's true springtime does sometimes come with ants but we spray (outside and with enviro-friendly materials) each spring and that takes care of it. As noted, we just renovated the kitchen so I can assure you there is no infestation. We have brand new construction and hard wood floors so it's all fresh and new. Thanks for the feedback.

I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, Pilar! You were great guests and would welcome you back anytime. I’m from Brooklyn, too, so I relish the escape from time to time as well. Be safe!
