Very nice stay

My husband and I are older. 60s and 70s. The stairs going up to the bedroom were a little steep. Was a little scary in the middle of the night since the bathroom is on the first floor… other than that very nice stay.

A very lucky goat!

The Lucky Goat is a very quaint, picturesque little cottage! Loved its character, with a mix of old-timey decor and a reasonable amount of modern convenience. Would love to stay there again if the occasion should arise.

Cute and quiet

My son and I enjoyed our stay in this cute cabin! Surroundings were quiet and relaxing as the rooster also sleeps in we believe (😄) will definitely consider staying here again.

Week in NYC

We stayed at this cabin in Pleasant Valley and took the train into the city each day leaving from Poughkeepsie. Quiet, clean, everything was just as advertised. Host and family were responsive and friendly. Although the pool wasn't open, I'm sure it's amazing in the summer. We would definitely stay again.
