Perfect for a family weekend!

Big spacious house with large indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. Nice big tables for board games and great kitchen layout for cooking together as a family. Beautiful surroundings, we even saw a double rainbow. The small bedroom in the silo is a hidden gem.

Perfect, Beautiful!

Every detail of this property is outstanding. From the sublime setting to the details, both large and small, of this house. Our host was communicative in all ways one might expect or hope for. Our family gathered together here from far points for a large wedding. So much fun to wander the fields, loll in the Kitchen area, primp ourselves up for the festivities, sleep in luxurious comfort. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you.

Gorgeous house, perfect weekend!

My bridal party and I rented two of Mary's properties for the weekend of our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier. The house was absolutely gorgeous, and the setting was perfect. The views were unbeatable. The sunny little room at the top of the silo isn't in any of the photos on the listing, but was the best room in the house. Mary graciously allowed my bridesmaids and I to get our hair and makeup done onsite and to have our photographer come by to document the morning, too. We really couldn't have had a better experience!

Paradise in Pine Plains

We very much enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous and unique property. The views are truly spectacular and we spent lots of time sitting and playing outdoors. (We would have loved a bit more outdoor furniture - sofas, umbrellas, lounge chairs, etc., to make the most of the scenery). However, the fire pit was a huge hit with our children, as was the entire home. Our dog also had a ball and we appreciated the fact that he was able to join us on the trip. One thing to add: We would have liked prior notice of the fact that the Nook (above the garage property) could possibly be rented out as well. It was not clear at all from the listing on vrbo and we did not learn of this fact until we had arrived at the property. With that said, it worked out fine with the other people (whom also brought a dog), but advance notice would have been appreciated. Thanks so much for having our group. We were able to give our sons an amazing send off before overnight camp. Great family memories were made at your lovely home and we hope to come back again.

Stunning views

This property is just beautiful inside and out. The home is so cozy and clean with amazing light and room for all, and the views will knock your socks off. We were a group of a few young families and our kids loved the space to run freely and visit with the cows, and the parents loved the chance to enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch in the morning and a glass on wine on the lawn in the evening while taking in those awesome views. Mary was a great and responsive host and we alll hope to be back soon!
