The house was beautifully decorated and cozy!! Loved the view and the walk around the pond! Loved how close it was to the town and university. Loved the fresh eggs! A great place to stay! Would definitely stay again!
A nice cozy little place to stay. The house has two porches and a great view from the back porch. The host has a few chickens, he even offered us some fresh eggs! It was reasonably priced but a little hard to get to from the festival we were attending on the other side of the river. It worked fine though.
What a lovely space! We had a great time - Rayâs place is perfect and just as described. It was very well appointed and was the perfect mix of feeling like a country retreat but being just minutes away from town. 10/10 would stay again
We had a wonderful five days in New Paltz! The accommodations were marvelous, and Ray was a perfect host: friendly and available as needed. We especially enjoyed sitting on the covered back porch overlooking the pond. Ray and his space are highly recommended. Thanks!
Perfect place to relax! Property is so pretty and so close to stores and restaurants. New Paltz and Kingston are fun to explore. House was great! Kitchen had everything we needed for vacation cooking, bed and furnishings so comfortable. Everything was was in great shape and clean.Back porch was my favorite place to have morning coffee.Ray is a gracious host and we loved the eggs from his lovely chickens.
Nice place! Great location. Just minutes to town, yet has a country feel. Of course, the chickens roaming the grounds donât hurt here!And Ray is a very accommodating host. It was a great 9 days.
We had a delightful stay at this property. The setting is beautiful, overlooking a pond with a large yard. We enjoyed walking on the mow grass pathway around the pond. Seeing the chickens walking around freely and a butterscotch cat added all the more to the old farmhouse feel. The rooms are well appointed and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our last day and a half occurred during very hot weather, but the air conditioning handled it without any trouble.Ray was very responsive to our questions and was very generous to honor our requests. He even gave us a half dozen very fresh eggs that we enjoyed for breakfast.This unit is only a few minutes away from the heart of the New Paltz village but it has a very rural feel. We highly recommend it.
Stayed while touring SUNY New Paltz. A very short and easy drive to the college and town. Property was nice and peaceful. House was cozy with a lot of fun decorative pieces. Ray was a very welcoming and kind host.
Communication from the start was friendly and informative! The house is located in a great location within 30 minutes of everything that we wanted to do, beds were comfortable, shower was great, and we enjoyed walking around the property seeing the potting shed and the chickens. While the weather buried from very cold to sunny and warm for late March, we found the house to be stocked with blankets and wish we had made use of the wood stove. Ray is fantastic and we really enjoyed this stay in New Paltz! Highly recommend the Westwind Cidery, Garvin's, and the hikes at Mohonk - we even saw 2 Bald eagles and their nests!
Our family loved staying here! It was perfect for a family of four: from having 3 beds, to a large living room where we played games, to a kitchen with everything we needed to make breakfasts and dinner. The host was very nice, the property is beautiful, and we would definitely stay here again!
Perfect cozy farm house for visiting SUNY New Paltz
The property was beautiful, loved the trees and pond and chickens! The house was historic and charming and cozy, loved the farm house decor, beds were very comfortable. Loved how close the house is to campus.
This is a wonderful country farm house built in the 1800's but renovated with all the luxuries of a modern house.
The property it sits on is beautiful with a pond and trails and a welcoming committee of six free range chickens... the ladies.
The owner is friendly and communicates promptly.
This made our stay very special. Don't miss the experience!
Such a neat little cottage. We loved the quiet and peaceful surroundings and the homey feel of the place. Handmade quilts on the twin beds, fabulous chicken art, woodstove, comfy big chairs and couch. Ray brought us eggs our first morning, laid by the small but beautiful flock. Thanks for such a comfortable and friendly stay - it was just our kind of place!
It was a wonderful experience. Ray is an amazing host who saw to making sure we were enjoying our stay. The location is perfect with easy access to town but still in the country. Morning coffee with the chickens was a delight.
Ray's place offers the best of both worlds. It's quiet and secluded, but only minutes from the shops and restaurants in New Paltz. If cycling is on your agenda and you don't mind a short distance on road, you can pick up the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail less than a mile away.
We recommend starting the day with coffee on the back deck. It's beautiful out there. The house is well-appointed. The kitchen had everything that we needed and then some. The beds were extremely comfortable. The same goes for the living room furniture. Ray has created a wonderful experience for his guests and is a gracious and accessible host. We will return.
Ray takes a lot of pride in this beautiful place. Old renovated farmhouse tastefully remodeled, furnished and decorated. Nice covered deck with lovely views and comfy adironacks, bbq, table etc. The fresh eggs from the coop is a nice added touch. Highly recommend.
Rayâs place is a wonderful oasis of relaxation, calm and beauty. Our family really enjoyed the quiet of the space and the beautiful grounds of the home. We loved how the house was close to town but also very quiet. We would love to return again.
