Thank you for the kind review. I’m glad everything matched the listing and that the kitchen had everything you needed during your stay. I always try to keep it well stocked so guests can comfortably cook and enjoy the space.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime.
We stayed in the house for 3 nights. We loved the views, the luxury bedrooms and the game room and we saw all kinds of wildlife. Communication with host was very helpful and good.

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay — from the views and comfy bedrooms to the game room fun and visits from the local wildlife! It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’m happy communication was smooth. You’re welcome back anytime to enjoy another peaceful getaway in the mountains.
This was the perfect place for a family vacation for us and our adult children and their partners. Beautiful spacious home equipped with everything we needed to relax together and “get away from the world” for a week. Incredible views from the deck, and a fun game room on the lower level. The guys especially loved the pool table, foosball and darts. We all hope to return in the future!

Thank you so much! I’m so glad the house was a perfect fit for your family and that you enjoyed both the views and the game room fun. The owners are always adding new amenities to make each stay even better, so we’d love to have you back anytime for more relaxation — and maybe a rematch at the pool table!
We had a whole stay at this beautiful property. Everyone loved the game room and pool table. We also loved the views and hiking! We plan to stay again!

Wonderful!!! Thank you for the great review and taking such good care of the house. Soon we'll have a brand new fire pit area as well so you will have to return for S'mores! Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Great house with a great view. The nearby towns are quaint and laid back. Awesome for a weekend get away outside the tri state area. Will love to go again.

Fantastic! I'm so happy that you had a nice time, I look forward to hosting you again.
We enjoyed staying at this location. Beautiful views unfortunately the weather was against our stay. Owner did not bother us as previous rental in Bovina. Top of the mountains! Would definitely recommend!

I'm happy to hear this! The views of the house are fantastic. As a host, I try to follow the guests lead in communication. I'm always available if needed!
My family and I had a great stay! The property is great! The view is awesome! I selected it because it was the perfect place for me to propose to my fiancée - and it did not disappoint. She said YES! The property was great! I’d love to give 4.5 stars if I could because I’m really nitpicking at this stage. Keep in mind that this is a mountaintop estate, not a hotel. One of the bedrooms did not warm up well in spite of the heat. Easily solved by a space heater but they did not have any. Also, one of the earlier guests had left a garbage bag of trash in the garage and it stank the place up. The hosts/managers are very responsive! Would love to visit again.

Congratulations and thanks for sending the picture as well, how heartwarming!!! I'm so happy that Bovina Mountain High is now part of your story. I hope that you visit again and again. I'm sorry your found one of the bedrooms colder than the others. The heat is all on one zone and we haven't had an issue before, we've never needed space heaters. We'll be monitoring it over the winter so see if it happens again. I look forward to your next visit!
Loved this beautiful property! We enjoyed all that the property offered us .
Loved the view from the back patio. Loved the privacy that the home gave us. Loved the pool table and foosball table. Loved the kitchen and comfort of the bedrooms. Loved the living room and the sitting areas. Loved the rec room and the large TV. We had a wonderful time on our visit. If you are wanting to get away and stay in small town USA. This is the place!

Thank you for your nice review, I'm so happy that you enjoyed the home! And if you venture out, there are so many great towns and villages nearby with shops and restaurants. I hope that you visit again!
We had a wonderful stay at Bovina Mountain High. I swear, the leaves on the mountain changed by the day! The outdoor fire pit as well as inside fireplace made cozying up with warm apple cider even better. The house was exactly as pictured; clean and well appointed. I was very impressed by the attention to detail and the quick communication with the management team. Thanks, Kim!

Thank you for your great review! Fall and spring are amazing in watching the landscape change. In the spring one day the mountains look reddish, then yellow, and chartreuse. Then one day you look at there are leave but you don't remember seeing them pop out! I'm happy that you enjoyed the stay and highly recommend a winter visit.
THE HOUSE WAS BEAUTIFUL!! WE WERE ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN AND THE VIEW WAS BREATHTAKING. WHEN WE ARRIVED, IT STARTED TO SNOW AND DID SNOW OVERNIGHT. MY GRANDCHILDREN LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY PLAYED IN SNOW. THEY WERE VERY EXCITED.
WE BROUGHT OUR OWN BOARD GAMES AND JIGSAW PUZZLES, HOWEVER; DOWNSTAIRS WHERE THE POOL TABLE WAS THERE WAS PLENTY OF GAMES AND PUZZLES.
THE KITCHEN WAS WELL SUPPLIED WITH DISHES, POTS, PANS AND UTENSILS.
THE SUPPLY AND QUALITY OF BATH TOWELS WAS EXCELLENT.
I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THIS PROPERTY!!

That's fantastic! It's so fun to play in the snow, I'm glad they got the opportunity. I hope that you visit again.
Spent Labor Day Weekend with four friends at this lovely home with breathtaking moutain views from the deck, living room, dining room, kitchen and bedrooms.
The photos posted are very accurate of this beautiful home.
This home's interior is decorated lovely with charm and modern amenities.
We loved that this home is spacious with a coziness to it. We appreciated the well-stocked toiletries, everyday essentials and array of condiments and spices in the kitchen.
We enjoyed our movie nights on the large 75inch Smart TV in the very spacious rec room Although, we brought our own games it was nice to have options already there with the pool table, board games and Foosball.
If you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city in a quiet community then this is the perfect house for you!
Lastly, Kim, our host was the best! She responded quickly with answers to all our questions. Thank you Kim!
