Property was in disrepair. Hot tub did not work, gas grill was not hooked into any gas source, multiple wasp nests on the deck, indoor fireplace was not usable, outdoor firepit was overrun with weeds, master bedroom door would not stay closed unless latched from the inside (Makes it difficult to leave a spouse sleeping while you want to go downstairs) etc etc etc. It seems the property is being maintained (Or not maintained) in the cheapest way possible.

This house is a gorgeous property that is great for large groups. The location is absolutely beautiful and there is a lot of space in the house and on the land. However, the property is not as well maintained as we would have hoped. The pool was not usable for the whole duration of our stay, due to algae growing in the pool (which typically happens due to lack of maintenance). This was really disappointing so we were in contact with them throughout the stay, the local maintenance team tried their best but they were not able to get the pool in usable shape. It's a gorgeous property, and I think with more regular maintenance it would be absolutely outstanding.

Hearing that the property and its setting made such an impression — and that there was room for everyone to spread out — is what we hope for with a group stay. That said, an amenity being unavailable for your entire trip isn't the experience we want anyone to have, and we understand the disappointment. Your feedback on upkeep has been shared with our team so it can be reviewed properly, and we're grateful you stayed in touch with us along the way. Thank you for seeing the potential in the place; we'd welcome the chance to host you again and get it right.

Very beautiful property! The guest rooms were all very comfortable and it felt like an inn due to the number of spacious rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with the appliances, equipment, and spices that you might need. Two very large fridges were present. There was plenty of serving plates and bowls as well. The property is beautiful, situated right on the river. There was a very nice hot tub with great views. The pool seemed nice as well but was not usable for our stay. The river bank is accessible from the property too which was a nice surprise! There were a couple of minor issues during the stay but the manager was available by text and came by to fix the issues very promptly. Overall very happy with my stay here and would definitely return!

We're so glad the home lived up to its beauty—it sounds like the spacious rooms and bathrooms gave your group that comfortable, inn-like feel, and we love that the well-stocked kitchen, the two large fridges, and all the serving ware had you covered. The riverfront setting really is something special, and we're happy the hot tub views and the riverbank access were such nice touches. Thank you also for noting the couple of minor issues; we're glad our manager could resolve them quickly, and we've passed your feedback along to the team. It's wonderful to know you'd return, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Not sure how I can fully express how magical our stay was at this house! The house itself is a perfect balance of vintage and chic. It is absolutely gigantic and has plenty of space for people to hang out in large groups or sneak away for some peace and quiet. It was very snowy when we were up there (which added to the magic) but the host was amazing about checking on us and getting the driveway plowed when we needed it. The beds are very very comfortable, the kitchen supplies are abundant, the house was spotless and homey. Can not recommend enough.

Wow—thank you for such a beautiful review! We’re truly thrilled to hear how magical your stay felt. The blend of vintage charm and chic design is something we love about the home, and it’s wonderful to know you appreciated both the spacious gathering areas and the cozy spots for quiet moments. The snowy setting really does add something special, and we’re glad our team could help make everything smooth and comfortable, from checking in on you to keeping the driveway clear. Hearing that you found the beds comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the home spotless means a lot to us. Your recommendation truly made our day—we’d be absolutely delighted to host you again for another unforgettable stay!

Family getaway

We had a wonderful time in Catskill! The house was lots of fun and had tons of space for everyone. We reached out with some questions before our stay and never received a response, many of the outlets didn’t work and the house could have used an extra cleaning before we arrived but overall we had a great time.

Great family gathering spot

The number of bedrooms and bathrooms was great for the 13 of us. The big kitchen, pantry and long dining tables made for fun interaction. The game room with pool table and ping pong table were perfect for after dinner fun. Beautiful property on the river. We plan to go back. Historic homes are tough to maintain and our hope is that it is as nice in the future as it was this week.

The property is extraordinary with stupendous views of the Hudson and expansive grounds for exploring. The house itself is large and comfortable with fun games and an amazing primary suite. Some areas could use refreshing, especially the kitchen. There are some disused structures from a former purpose of the property as a summer theater. The pool was not open for our early May visit but the hot tub (nice surprise!) was up and running. It was a great location for our family reunion. FYI the company uses a security firm to collect information about the renters—photo ID and video scan of face. This was a bit off putting to us but I guess will become increasingly common. We would return—it’s a rare find to access a large house with river views that is just minutes from cultural venues and easily accessed by Amtrak from Hudson, NY.

Awesome Long Weekend!

20 of my friends and I enjoyed this home over a long summer weekend. It was perfect — queen/king sized beds for everyone; big yard for lawn games and a slip and slide; and a pool, hottub, and fire pit perfect for a group hangout. The property is extremely private, but the property manager is just a text away and very responsive. We’ll be back!

WOW! AMAZING FAMILY REUNION - WE WANT TO COME BACK

We loved the place. The views in the morning and at sunset were breathtaking. The lake in front was amazing. The house itself was in great condition, so many rooms for our large 20+ group and the way the house is set up encouraged everyone to bond across multiple living rooms Great swimming pool and kayaking was available. We really got to bond as family and everyone wants to come back. Our bonding was enhanced as everyone just loved the environment, Thank you again for doing a superb job looking after the house and its premises and making our stay GREAT.

Epic bachelor party

We had an amazing bachelor party weekend at this place. The views of the Hudson (which we were able to kayak out on thanks to the kayaks provided by the property), the lounging by the pool, the backyard games on the sprawling lawn, the grilling on the huge deck, the poker game around the enormous dining room table, the hours spent in the game room, all of it was just a great time at a truly unique property. The only hiccup was that the water went out on the first day due to an issue with the water well but the property manager responded immediately and came with hired help to fix it. We will talking about this trip for years to come!
