Overall, this place was very nice. The office and fireplaces were bonus features that were much appreciated during the pandemic (we were working remotely while there). The property is pretty and connects to a wooded area that was very lovely (especially since we brought our dogs). The location was convenient to the quaint (although gentrifying) town of Narrowsburg and some pretty hikes. Nice touches were the barrel of stuffed dog toys that our pups had fun playing with. The downsides are the following:
- The dishes, pots/pans, and silverware were FILTHY when we arrived. I mean caked on crusty food. This may be a result of the high end dishwasher, which is finnicky and doesn't actually clean the dishes, but whoever cleans between rentals should definitely clean the cooking and eating supplies (especially in a pandemic).
- During our stay, people showed up to the property 4 times. Twice because the owner wanted to check his security system and twice without giving us notice. 1 of the times I was in the shower and a repair man let himself in, the other a man came to refill the propane tank and my dogs were off leash in the backyard. Seeing as we were only the 2nd rental, I hope Angel improves his communication and schedules visits around rentals to respect renters' privacy.
- Comfort: The furniture is mostly futon cushions on top of wooden benches and are not very comfortable. The fireplaces are nice, but the only (very powerful) heat source and we were instructed not to turn 1 of them off - making it very difficult to regulate the temperature and often it was very hot or very cold.
- Missing key everyday conveniences. We are coffee drinkers and there was no coffee maker. There was a french press, but no grinder. There was no nonstick pan - making cleanup ve
