We spent a lovely weekend at Ray's farmhouse. The location is perfect. Very close to New Paltz on one side and to a farm stand on the other. The house is pretty close to the road, so it was easy to find and didn't feel like the middle of nowhere. On the other hand, the road wasn't noisy, and in the back of the house there was a beautiful, serene pond and the woods. There are two decks at the front and the back of the house and adirondack chairs scattered throughout the property.

The inside of house was spacious and very clean. It is newly renovated, and we loved that it had quality fixtures, fridge, etc. There were really thoughtful touches throughout - coffee and other essentials in the kitchen, milk in the fridge. We also loved all the natural hand and dish soaps. We were traveling with young kids, and Ray left us some juice pouches and children's books. And of course we loved the fresh eggs from Ray's free-range chickens!! Our kids loved running around the property and hanging out with the chickens.

Ray was incredibly welcoming and helpful with suggestions for things to do in the area. He checked in with us to make sure that we were comfortable, and even offered to bring an extra air conditioner, because the weather was warm. It wasn't necessary, but we really appreciated the extra care to make sure that we were enjoying our stay. We will certainly rent this property again if we are in the area.
