We got there and it was a disaster, not clean , green pool, metal and trash around outside, dirty floors, bathrooms surfaces and trash laying around inside. Air conditioning didn’t work, chandeliers hanging from the electrical wires, wires everywhere and old electrical that isn’t allowed anymore, hosts full of themselves, not truthful or accommodating, please save your money and keep your families safe!

We understand the guest’s frustration. They arrived with truck loads of equipments to throw a wedding party. Sadly we don’t rent the property as a wedding venue.

Perfect getaway for those who want peace, space and grandeur.

This was a extended work visit, and the property was perfect for us and the host was very accommodating whenever needed. I can see a wedding, reunion or a quiet getaway for a large family at this location.

The location is a 5 star location. Some minor issues, no top sheets on any beds but we found them. Weeds around tennis court and swimming pool need to be removed. House was very spacious. Overall, we had a great time.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

I wish I had read more of the negative reviews before booking this house as I agree with the issues they raise. It’s a beautiful piece of property and the house offers a lot of space but feels not well maintained or fully furnished. I would expect more out of a grand home and setting like this.The listing says the pool doesn’t open until summer. Well, I would assume that Memorial Day weekend is the beginning of summer. I would certainly assume that the pool would be clean even if it’s not open for swimming. It was green and full of debris which was very unattractive to look at.There’s a chicken coop, which is fine. I have chickens at home. But there were dead chickens in cages as it appeared they were trying to catch some sort of wild animal. I would’ve expected a note about this from the host explaining the situation rather than having my children discover it.Overall, it didn’t feel like the house had been opened up for the season yet. There were outdoor sofas crammed into the living room, with all of the furniture pushed against the walls.I also found it disconcerting that multiple times during our three day stay a very noisy pickup truck came racing up the driveway to the house, made a circle around the driveway and left. So strange. Lastly there were piles of trash in the driveway and another pickup truck came and looked at, but did not take it away.

Well as the guest mentioned it is a grand property. Many different people play a role to help us maintain it, and they happen to drive pickup trucks. That is out of our control. After a prolonged winter in Hudson valley this year, the pool maintenance company is doing their best to ready the pool for the official summer season that starts June 21, 2026. During that process, the pool water changes color multiple times. Some outdoor furniture cushions move in and out due to rain. Additionally, there have been many fox and raccoon attacks on the coop, and professional animal control is working on it. Trash collection is only on Mondays and our respected guests checked out on Sunday. However, during their stay they never communicated with us and left all the doors wide open.

Family Wedding

It was only about 24 hours. We were only on the property to prepare for wedding and to sleep there after event. When I booked, I missed the fact that it was a required 2 night stay. That was my error.The property is very large, which worked for 9 guests. It is an impressive venue, great views, amenities and literally right up the street from where we were going. We did use the tennis courts and were able to sit outside. This area is desirable, and I would consider using this place again.

Beautiful home, needs a little TLC

Large home with new kitchen and baths, beautiful vistas. One of the toilets didn't flush and there were many cobwebs and dead flies on window sills. Could have used a cleaning before we arrived. Linens didn't seems fresh. We enjoyed the pool. We still made good memories!!

The guests left the mansion in a very clean and mint condition. The toilet they mention is a Kohler next generation Smart toilet, probably someone missed the flush button which is hidden by the right side. We are still scratching our heads to figure out why they took out the smoke detectors and google net WiFi pro. We always use fresh linens and towels. Professional cleaners do the job. However, we are glad that they have enjoyed the property and we will host them again.

Beautiful view, half empty

This place is something else. It’s up on the mountain with a beautiful view and the house itself feels like it’s out of a movie. Plenty of space (almost too much!). Very appreciative that our host allowed an early check in! It’s very clear that there is still some gradual work being done as bits and pieces of the house felt unfinished or untouched. There were no overhead lights in the main sitting room, no water glasses, not enough wine glasses for everyone, etc. The smell of the water in the master bedroom was overwhelming. The video cameras were also very unsettling. We absolutely had a great time; there were just some little things that worked against the experience but can easily improve.
