Thanks Esther & Mike for the stay at your beautiful home, a perfect spot for our Fall Reunion!!
The house was ideal for our group, with plenty of space for everyone to either spend together or apart for some quiet time! We had beautiful views of the early fall foliage from the big picture windows in the large open Living & Dining Room areas, and although the gas fireplace didn’t throw off much heat, it was aesthetically perfect for a crisp, cool autumn night! Kitchen was well equipped with cooking pots & pans/utensils/plates/mugs, etc.; everything we needed to cook all of our meals. My only suggestion would be the house being better stocked with basics like paper towels, napkins, plastic wrap, zip lock bags, etc. We struggled trying to wrap up some leftovers at first…but ultimately managed after running to the store for some supplies. And, we could have used some spare light bulbs for lamps/lights that had burned out & batteries for remotes. Minor issues I realize, but worth pointing out.
We were so busy having fun drinking some wine, listening to music & playing cards at the BIG kitchen table in the dining area both nights that we never really went downstairs to play any of the other ‘games’ available in the rec room (a very small pool table, ping pong & foosball table), but I could see anyone renting here with children absolutely loving those amenities!
I loved being so close to The Town of Hudson. I hadn’t been there in over a decade so it was fun to ‘revisit’ and walk around all the small antique shops and art galleries, visiting the Olana State Historic Site…and relaxing at the end of the afternoon with a cocktail & some appetizers at The Back Bar on Warren Street (an eclectic Thai/Malaysian restaurant/bar with indoor/outdoor dining with a beautiful patio and some funky music!)
Lastly I can’t say enough about the exceptional communications between Esther & her husband Mike. They responded VERY quickly to a couple of situations we needed to sift through at first, so A++ for that! I have no hesitation recommending this rental to anyone considering it, and I hope to stay there again sometime in the future!
