Delightful character and vintage charm with great outdoor space.
Allison was the perfect host! Her home is exactly as described and offered the ideal family getaway. It is full of character and charm from the past. The large backyard and beautiful patio area were great for relaxing, playing games and getting together with old friends in the area. We had to chuckle because of all of the little explanatory notes throughout the home, but it is clear, Allison has thought of everything and is the ultimate host! Thank you again for a delightful stay.

Great place in an area with a lot of history.
We enjoyed our stay very much, (family of 5 and a friend). The place is larger than it may appear from the outside, bright and clean with very nice towels and linens. We used the wood burning stove and it was a great place to hang out. The view from inside the house feels like you are in the country, but you are close to town and other historical homes and churches.

Gorgeous historic home!
This house is amazing. It has so much charm and was clearly restored with a lot of love. Everything in the home just feels incredibly warm and cozy. The property was great and it really felt like we were staying at a friend’s house. This has been our best home rental experience ever.

Perfect Peaceful Vacation
Thank you Alison for sharing your lovely property. We stayed 2 weeks, and wish it could have been longer. Loved the larger sitting room for all 7 of us to gather for movies, etc., and also loved all the cozy nooks for when we wanted to sneak away for time with a good book (of which you have many!) So many wonderful details in the décor. The yard and creek were beautiful, and so much space for the kids to run and explore. We had amazing fall weather, and enjoyed our morning coffee outside on the deck. The property was centrally located to many of the areas we visited such as Patterson, Wallkill, Warwick and Tuxedo. Also near Cold Spring (must go to Moo Moo's Creamery...best ice cream ever) Beacon (quaint town with so much to see, great coffee shops, art, cafe's) 30 min to Danbury CT (for Trader Joes & our fave restaurant Stanziatos...great food and drinks) This property is absolutely our first choice next time we are in the area. We have already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Alison!

Perfect getaway!
It was 2 adults and a 2 year old toddler. Home is beautiful, comfortable and clean. Alison is a great host. She met us at the house and explained how things worked. We didn't hear outside noise and even though cars drive by all the time we didn't hear them at all. Bathroom worked great for us with standup shower & a tub for the little one. Cereal & coffee pods were available for us. House is clean no smells of any sort. Patio is big and perfect for grilling. Kitchen is stocked with plenty of utensils. We went to the farm close by spent the whole day there. Also,the waterpark in Fishhkill was a hit. When our daughter went to bed we enjoyed catching up on Netflix shows. Stop & shop and Dunkin donuts not far off. Fishkill has some shopping and fast food restaurants. We also went to poughkeepsie on our way back home stopped at Bounce so our daughter could play- about 20 minutes away. Lots of options for food and shopping there with Target, Shop Rite, and others. Walmart is 20 minutes away opposite direction. We would definetely return to this house because of clealiness and free of smells as well as peacefulness. Alison is attentive.

Beautiful old house with all that you need for a getaway
Alison is a wonderful host, very responsive, helpful and thoughtful. She's thought of everything. The house has everything you need and feels very homey. It's a beautiful old building, so much history and character but also comfortable! I wish it was warmer while we were there so we could play in the creek but the cooler weather allowed us to make the most of the fire pit and the gorgeous old stove in the house. I would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful home for a weekend escape
Stayed for a weekend and had a great time. House is beautiful, lots of charm, fully equipped, and on a nice property. Relatively easy to access from the Pawling Metro North station, so we didn't need to rent a car, which was great! The only downside is that the property is on two roads which are a bit busy; if it weren't for that, I would definitely have given it 5 stars. The roads are NOT a deal breaker and we still had a relaxing weekend, but if you're looking for something really secluded, this isn't your best bet. Finally, Alison was a terrific host. Extremely helpful, kind, and responsive. Thanks!

Wonderful home and property
Whole experience was wonderful. Home is great, very well equipped and so comfortable. Outside area is so beautiful and also very comfortable. You do hear some street noise (traffic) while outside but not a problem. Owner was so accommodating and helpful. We look forward to staying here again!!!!
