We enjoyed our stay at this property a lot. It is conveniently located close to both Saugerties and Woodstock Villages, with easy access to the highway as well. The house is at the end of a private road and the property is basically shared with an active farm there. This was not evident in the listing, but it was not an issue for us. Still, if you expect a secluded and very private location, this isn't exactly that given the proximity to other residents nearby.
The house is very quaint and well appointed, with nice updates and modern conveniences. Everything was in very good working order and clean. Great kitchen and bath, comfortable beds, smart TV with streaming capability, etc. Getting in and out was super easy, Bruce (property manager) was very helpful and we appreciated the flexibility with check in/out times. Safety and security were never a concern.
A couple of observations/suggestions: You can hear traffic on the highway at some times, but more importantly, you will definitely hear the trains that run through Saugerties intermittently (including during the middle of the night), so if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. One of the bedrooms and the laundry room that houses a futon both have very sheer fabric drapes, so once the sun is up, it gets very bright. It would be a nice improvement to see a blackout curtain or darker/thicker fabric used to offer more light protection for those not looking to rise at dawn.
One of the things we loved most about this house was the vast wooded property behind it. The mixed hardwood and evergreen forest was beautiful and there are access roads and trails that are easy to follow throughout. We loved exploring with our dog and enjoying the last of the autumn colors. Having said that, there are a lot of deer in the area, and as such, a lot of ticks. We each pulled several off of ourselves after each visit to the woods, including the dog. This shouldn't be a deterrent, but proper safety measures should be taken as well as inspections afterward to be sure.
Overall, we had a great stay and it offered us everything we were looking for. Thanks very much!
