Designers Own Year-Round Hudson Valley Getaway Cottage

We are very pleased you enjoyed staying in the house and that the overall “experience was great”. And thanks so much for leaving the house so neat! As for the laundry; we ask our guests to wash the linens to lessen the time the cleaning person must be at the house – a savings we pass along by not charging a cleaning fee, as most rentals do. We state this in the rental agreement and in the house rules. What I may not have made clear is that if our guests don’t have the time to finish the laundry and need to checkout, it’s okay to leave the linens spinning in the dryer – our cleaner will finish the cycle when she arrives. These days it’s hard to keep house costs down, but we try to come up with creative ideas to do so – we are one of the highest rated houses in the Hudson Valley and one of the most competitive, price wise, and are trying to keep it that way!

Thanks Paula! And thanks so much for taking such great care with the house -- we deeply appreciate it. Please know you are welcome anytime! Best, Arne
