Spent Labor Day weekend with my husband, 2 year old, 3 month old, and a family friend. The property was better than described- so many destinations and activities. We really enjoyed the basketball court and driving range, and our son loved the garden, thoughtful landscaping, and bird feeders everywhere! Lots of frogs and salamanders in the pond, too! Very close to Phonecia and hikes with waterfalls. Loved the nonstop roar of the river across the street. Thank you, Laura! We had a wonderful time.

A Perfect Getaway
We stayed over Thanksgiving and couldn't imagine having had a better experience. Laura's home is beautiful, clean, welcoming, and cozy. She was so kind and communicative before and during our stay. (I'm still dreaming about the brownie pie she left us!) Our four kids had the best time both indoors and out--the house is safe & kid-friendly and they also loved playing in the playhouse, the yard, and the woods. I cooked a little Thanksgiving feast and the kitchen had everything I could possibly need. Our vacation was truly everything we hoped it would be. Fall was magical at the house and we hope to experience it during other seasons as well.

The hosts went above and beyond. They left us baked goods. They met us in the drive way in an ice storm to make sure we made it safely and that we had the supplies to manage in the weather. Everything was plowed and shoveled and salted over and above.
They actually live in this house. It’s not an ikea showroom with four forks and one pan. It’s a fully stocked and lived in home. And they truly share it with guests.

I expected Better Homes & Gardens to be arriving with their camera crew any moment! Quiet, great place to relax with family. My adult children enjoyed the basketball court & golf net and we all enjoyed the wildlife (lots of birds & chipmunks). Nice kitchen to cook in. Spices I forgot at grocery, here for us to use.

A special place
This is my first time writing a review like this and I normally don't review, well, anything. But this place is a true gem. We have stayed in many houses in the Catskills over the years and this was by far our favorite. The house has plenty of privacy but is in close proximity to Phoenicia and other great spots. The owners have clearly put their heart and soul into the house, and it shows. From its lush herb and vegetable garden to the unique hand-built interior, this house is special and makes a nice getaway for a family or couple. My daughter absolutely adored the playhouse and we spent many memorable hours on the basketball court and outdoor patio. And the outdoor pizza oven! I could go on. But what makes the place truly unique is the owners. They are not simply giving you a place to stay for the night but allowing you into their home with open arms (and in our case, some delicious brownie pie and homemade granola!). Thank you guys for a wonderful stay.

A Weekend with NATURE!!
You can feel the love Laura and Vinny have invested in their home. As I sit on the veranda drinking my morning coffee I cannot find a moment of quiet. The rolling brook that comes down from the mountain, the gentle chirps of the many species of birds, the buzzing of hummingbirds, the chipmunks frolicking in grass, the love songs of the frogs, woody woodpecker doing his thing, and so on. It sounds like one of those nature CDs you would buy to meditate. You can read the other reviews to learn about your incredible hosts and how they make you feel welcome.
There is a fire pit, basketball (½) court, hammock, garden, frog pond, wood burning oven, grill, Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, golf net, and much more.
If you are looking for a very relaxing getaway, surrounded by nature in a rustic setting this would be a good choice. Right off Rt. 28 you are close to great hiking, fishing, NYS parks/trails, Phoenicia and not far from Woodstock.
I highly recommend this property.

Absolutely breathtaking home, beautiful inside and out! Truly LOVED this rental!! <3
I don't know if there are really words to describe how absolutely beautiful this home is -inside and out - but we really enjoyed our stay here, and the homeowners are such wonderful people! We were greeted with such a warm welcome and made to feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, or a family retreat, this is the perfect rental! My husband and I were looking for a quiet, romantic weekend away from our chaotic life, and this definitely 'fit the bill'! We enjoyed everything about this home, from the beautiful woodworks all throughout the property, to the giant rock garden - and I really enjoyed strolling through Laura's amazing garden! :)
And for anyone who enjoys nature, this is the place for you! We stayed in mid-July, and I can't tell you how much we enjoyed watching all the different kinds of birds and chipmunks (adorable!) that visit Laura's bird-feeders outside the kitchen and dining room windows while we sipped coffee in the morning. There's a natural creek that runs across the way from the house, and the sound when you're on the half-covered deck was so serene. Needless to say, I could go on and on, but this was by far one of my personal favorite rentals on VRBO! We will definitely be back to stay again!! <3

A magical place in the Catskills
Our family stayed in this fantastic property for the 4th of July weekend. This is a very special place. The house itself is beautiful, like a fairy cottage in the woods, full of windows that connect the house to the outdoors. It is very comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen and dining area are large and easy to navigate, with plenty of counter space. The living room is very large and well-furnished. The bedrooms are very comfortable, especially the beds, in which we slept very well. There are many unusual and thoughtful touches - one small example being the provision of napkins, which we usually have to buy in vacation rentals.
What elevates this property from the excellent to the sublime is its surroundings. The house is visited by a profusion of birds. We were enthralled by the hummingbirds and the songbirds, which come all day to the feeders next to the windows. We have never had an experience quite like that one. The house is also surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants. The grounds are extensive and beautiful. Our daughter loved the small pond, in which she spotted frogs and salamanders. No other houses are visible, making this a truly secluded retreat. Nonetheless, the house is very well located, a few minutes off Route 28. Just 10 minutes in either direction on Route 28 takes you to excellent restaurants.
Finally, the host is very communicative and welcoming. We felt sure that she wanted us to enjoy our stay and experience the magic of the house. She left gifts for us and responded immediately to inquiries. She went above and beyond what you would expect from a host making sure that our stay was meeting our expectations and offering to help. She was truly a model host.
We highly recommend this house. Our family hopes to return often.

She left the house in perfect, immaculate condition even making the beds after stripping them. She was attentive and considerate of the house, making sure the cushions for the deck table we’re brought in during thunderstorms, etc. I’m so glad they truly enjoyed their stay and appreciate all we do to make our guests feel welcome and at home. I’m also happy they enjoyed the birds and wild life as we do. This is a lovely family any host would be lucky to have and we would gladly welcome them back with open arms.

Great place for Families and Relaxation
We (family; two grownups, three 8-year-olds) had a wonderful time at this beautifully hand-crafted gem of a place. The grounds were immaculately maintained and hosts couldn't have been more friendly. We didn't even need to leave the property to have a wonderful vacation; everything we were looking for in a Catskill Mountain getaway was there! There was hiking nearby and a basketball court, child's playhouse, pizza oven, grill, fireplace and plenty of room in the yard for outdoor games outside. Inside the house and beds were very comfortable for lounging and the house was equipped with all the technology and bandwidth we needed for the modern conveniences we're used to. The kitchen was well stocked and a very comfortable place in which to cook. The property was close enough to civilization for dining and shopping options, but remote enough that you couldn't hear the highway or your neighbors. Nature abounds all around the house, and we were visited by all sorts of birds and wildlife. We can't wait to go back!

It was such a pleasure hosting Randy and his lovely family. They went above and beyond to leave the house immaculate as if no one had walked in. We are so happy they had a fantastic stay and appreciate all we do to make guests comfortable. We very much look forward to their return when they can enjoy the gardens and activities in the warmer weather. Any host would be lucky to have them.

Charming and Considered Stay
We had a fantastic time staying at Laura and Vinny's beautiful, considered, and eclectic home. From fresh cut flower arrangements all around the house, to the abundance of clean fluffy towels and linens, pantry items Laura welcomed us to use, the outdoor pizza oven and fire pit, the property exuded charm and comfort. The owners were communicative from afar, leaving us detailed instructions for the various amenities and activity recommendations on paper and over text. We loved using the extremely well appointed kitchen, the cozy living room, and the great deck and patio area. The pizza oven is really something special. The area itself is blessedly quiet and rustic, but very close to groceries, a few great restaurants, hikes, and other activities. We'd love to visit again!

Rest and Relaxation
This was our first time to the Catskills and we were looking for a relaxing place that also had neat attributes. Laura and Vinny’s place met that criteria and so much more. When we first arrived they had fresh flowers in EVERY room and a delicious dessert waiting for us to enjoy (they even checked beforehand to accommodate any allergies we had.) There was already wood in the brick oven and fire ring ready to be lit. We brought our 3 year old and the place was very child friendly. We saw a few bear and we’re very skittish of people which is a good sign. Other than that we saw tons of deer, foxes, a coyote and countless birds. We had a great time and would definitely stay again.

It was our pleasure to host Joseph and his family. They were respectful of the home and left it in perfect, immaculate condition. We love when guests appreciate the serenity and all that nature has to offer. We would love to welcome them back one day with open arms.
