The house was nice and clean. The surrounding area was peaceful and I enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the small animals and birds pass by. We visited Minnevaska park which was nearby and had a nice walk by waterfalls

Great little place, friendly host, wonderful location & awesome amenities (hot tub, park passes, fire pit, deck). Also love that it's pet-friendly and our pup is welcome to join us here. Only note: The mattresses could use some updating. There's significant sagging in the bedroom mattress and the one on the pull-out couch is in pretty bad shape, both caused us some back pain. Also, if you like to sleep in and/or are a light sleeper, the garage directly beneath the bedroom is fairly loud when being opened/closed, which happened a few times early in the mornings during our stay, and unfortunately interrupted our sleep.

Lovely time in the gunks

My wife and I (and our cat and dog!) had a lovely time at this property. It was both secluded while also being just a very short drive to New Paltz and restaurants. The outdoor hot tub and fire pit were lovey. We were greeted with a bottle of local wine when we checked in which was a great touch. Highly recommend - we will definitely be back!

Incredible experience, great vacation!

We had an amazing time ! The place was exactly as described and even better in person! The host takes care of Every single detail to make your stay enjoyable. The big highlights of this property were the river and kayaks, the non-chlorinated hot tub (new, clean and beautifully located) and the incredible hikes located only 10 minutes away. We are so happy we would definitely make it a yearly tradition!

Perfect

This property was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The photos are accurate; if anything, they do not do justice to the beauty of the property. The location feels secluded and serene, but hiking, shopping, and restaurants are very nearby. Paths around the property provide access to the river, and feel like sometging out of a storybook. My dog loved exploring with me, and following the trails. The "barn" itself is beautifully decorated, and the linens and towels are luxurious and high-quality. The kitchen is well-stocked with condiments and spices, so cooking and grilling was easy and enjoyable. The firepit and hottub were absolutely perfect for hanging out under the stars. Bill, the host, was super responsive and magically appeared with anything we needed only minutes after sending a message through the app. This was, by far, the best VRBO experience I've ever had, and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

We had an spectacular time at our visit. The hot tub was amazing and had the fire going it was so relaxing. The kitchen was fully stocked with almost everything needed including some base spices. William communication was spot on and perfect. Any questions we had, he answered willingly and thoughtfully and made sure we felt right at home. We would recommend William and his beautiful cabin to anyone looking for a home away from home.

What a beautiful space. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there but we were so lucky to have everything we needed. We even got to enjoy the hot tub during the rain because it is protected by an overhand. Bill was so kind and responsive. I loved the different coffee and tea options!

One of my favorite upstate places to stay

My husband, little boy, and I came up for the weekend and we had the best time. William was so easy to contact and helpful. The loft was bright, fresh, cozy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was so much fun for our little boy and so relaxing. We explored the property and had a great time kayaking, watching the birds and wildlife and beautiful sunsets. I’m so glad we came and I can’t wait to get back.
