Amazing & memorable vacation!

Review Submitted: September 28, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
When taking a summer vacation with my parents plus our 2 year old, we wanted a place within 3-4 hours of NYC and where we could relax, get away from it all, and enjoy some lake time. And Brandy Hill Island did not disappoint us at all (except for water pressure in the shower, but that was minor inconvenience)! The lake is beautiful with many nice properties surrounding it, and being in the middle of the lake on the island offers beautiful views from many angles. The fishing was pretty good, even for amateurs like my dad and I, and we had a delicious bass dinner one evening with our largest catch (Rich, the owner, provided various tips and even a lake map with his favorite hot spots). It was very nice that the island comes with various boats and we took a sunset cruise every night in the pontoon boat (we noticed everyone on the lake does that, it's great!). While we were on the island, the NE experienced a massive heat wave so being away from my central AC was making me nervous. I'm happy to say even without window/wall units, the house and island were fine in 100+ temps. There is always at least a nice breeze moving air around, and plenty of shade and obviously the lake for swimming/cooling off. When we went to the mainland on one of the hot days, the heat differential from the island to the mainland was drastic (lack of wind/breeze on the mainland vs constant breeze on the island). All in all I would recommend Brandy Hill Island to almost anyone, and it is sure to make for a very memorable vacation (when else will you have an entire island to yourself?!?). Thanks again!!! A+++

Owner's Response: Brandy Hill Island Were Memories Are Made! Thanks for taking the time to write your review. Diane and I appreciate it. You touched on a very good point while being up at the island during the heat wave. The question I receive the most is - Do you have AC?- My answer is similar as you stated in your review. BHI's unique placement on the quaint pond and the shade of our trees offers a pleasant breeze and environment even during a heat wave. The difference between the island's temperature and the mainland temperature has always amazed us. Brandy Hill Island is a self sufficient property with solar power and propane power. It is an amazing spot for vacation.

Thanks for sharing and taking care of our home while on vacation

Rich and Diane.

GREAT VACATION!

Review Submitted: July 20, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Brandy Hill Island was the best vacation experience my family and i had! The island was beautiful, we had great weather, and got to relax without all the outside attractions. I enjoyed not having to run around and spend alot of money on extras. We enjoyed family time, playing board games together, cards, doing puzzles ect. At homes its so busy and i dont think i realized my 9 year old enjoyed these things. We will be doing more like this at home. Swimming, boating,and fishing were also so enjoying to do as a family, Definetly were memories are made!

Review Submitted: August 25, 2003 Date of Stay: August 2003
Dear Rich Just to say we had the most wonderful week in your really lovely BHI home. We loved every minute - and each person found special things about the place and being there! The swimming was great and we loved sitting out on the deck and going for little trips in the boat. Matthew loved catching fish from the pontoon but I think Pete and I specially appreciated the tranquillity of the place and that magnificent view - we painted several little pictures to try and capture it! We all got lots of lovely reading done too - a real treat. You were quite right about not wanting to go anywhere else - it is just so perfect there is no reason to leave it except for supplies! I hadn't quite realised about leaving the key in the boat (until we me someone called Vinny who was changing the dustbins (rather than Jane coming out at 10.00 to check everything was alright) - so I hope we were right to leave the key in that way. We left a note for Jane in the house. I assume the deposit will come back to me once you have checked things up with Jane will it? I think everything was ship-shape when we left - we did make sure to do an extra good clean because we do like to do that. Thanks again for a really special holiday - and it was especially nice to meet you and Diane too and hear about the history of the house. Every best wish Liza
