Decompress Vacation
This is the second time I've stayed at this location. It is quiet and offers you the feeling of being secluded but yet you are surrounded by activity close buy. I love this house and, of course, Jamie for giving us the opportunity to stay again.

Lovely home!
We very much enjoyed this lovely home and would highly recommend it. We enjoyed hanging out in the sunny dining room, the screened in porch and the patio. It is probably one of the best set up vacation homes we have ever stayed in; we were there for six days and were able to cook everything we wanted to and did many of the puzzles!

Wonderful home in Lively Area
We stayed in this lovely home 3 nights. It was clean, comfortable and amazingly well-decorated. The photos we saw were beautiful but the home exceeded our expectations. Jamie, the hostess, was super communicative and helpful. We had a problem with the lamps in the upstairs bedroom and she graciously supplies us with extension cords. Come too find out, it was only a defective bulb. I had inadvertently booked 2 nights instead of 3. When Jamie called to say the cleaning lady notified her we were still there, she was gracious about extending our stay. We give this place 5+ stars, as it is a gem and so comfortable. The only thing is the kitchen could use more supplies (aluminum foil, Zioc bags) and a few more baking pans. The freezer could use an ice cube holder (plenty of trays but no holder for ice). These were very minor and did not detract from our overall stay. Loved this place and highly recommend it.

Best equipped house yet
A charming and comfortable property. Well maintained and equipped. We cooked a bit there and it had all the tools to prepare a good meal, even an extra tank of propane for the grill. Owner was very responsive to any questions

Lovely home, just perfect for our stay. We attended a high school graduation in the area and the house was close to everything. Beautiful landscaped grounds that would have been wonderful for outdoor activities had the weather cooperated. We are returning to the same home in five weeks to attend a wedding. It had all the things that made it a comfortable, cozy home. Looking forward to the next time!

Great home in a central location
This is a great home, cozy and clean with a beautiful backyard and deck. Use the grill to cook up a delicious summer meal! We enjoyed being in between Albany and Troy. This house has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the owners have thought of everything you might need - from cleaning supplies to kitchen ware and cooking basics. We will happily return in the future.

Visit with relatives
We had a great time. The check in process was flawless. The house was immaculate and very comfortable. Communication with the host was easy and timely. We had 6 inches of snow during our stay and the sidewalk and driveway were shoveled twice and salt was applied. They even dig out the snow around our cars! We highly recommend this rental

This is our second time staying at this property and it will be our home away from home anytime we come to NY. I can't say enough good things about Jamie and this home. Communication is just about immediate, the home, yard and deck is lovely and the cleanliness is better than any property we have ever stayed in. Thanks so much Jamie for another great stay!
