Worth Every Penny!!!

We loved the artwork – did you pick out all of the pieces in the house?? The piece over the fireplace, can you pass along the name of it?? One of the women could not stop talking about it! The directions were spot-on and the place was exactly what we were looking for! We found ‘The Deep’ where we spent an afternoon. Did you have a listing of places to swim?? The kitchen was so spacious! I was ‘the chef’ so the space and prep areas worked about very well. Thank you for supplying every amenity that we may have forgotten. Internet access was a big plus too. How long have you owned the house? Many personal touches. Thanks for helping us create a perfect weekend!

We loved it! We can't wait to go back. The house is gorgeous, interesting and laid back.. with an incredible atmosphere that just demands you RELAX! The description did not do it justice. The kids had a great time - both in and outside the house. The hammock was my favorite place.. or maybe it was the deck overlooking the garden and the kids playing.. or the enclosed porch where we sat in the mornings drinking our tea or the comfy leather chair and ottoman..or floating in the refreshing pond. We loved it all. (and the delicious vegan smoothies served in the village) The best family break ever!

The house was even better than described and the pictures are nice but don't do it justice. It was clean and orderly and the local weekly paper was put out for us - we felt very welcomed. We loved cooking in that kitchen and eating in 3 places, dining room, deck and screened-in porch. The two surprises were how comfortable the house was without a/c, just ceiling and bedroom fans--and the fantastic pond. I have disliked the weedy fishy mucky aspects of ponds, but this one is fresh and clear and deep. I am a now a convert, what luxury.

The service was great, we had no reason to contact the owner, everything before and after the vacation was handled thoroughly and efficiently. The only complaint came from my wife who wanted me to leave the porch and the pond and go places! Next year we want to rent for a week instead of only 3 nights. Warning: this property got filled fast, we could only get in during mid-week.

We loved everything about our stay. The house is wonderful -- open, breezy and cool, beautifully and intelligently designed and filled with amazing art. It's a great place to cook, and both the indoor and outdoor dining spaces are great and festive places to eat. We had excellent weather, but would have been happy to've been stranded at home. The immediate lawn, meadow, and trail to the pond are quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. We did not explore the property as much as we could have, or take immediately local hikes, but heard from neighbors and friends that there's a public trail within walking distance of the house that is spectacular, and there are numerous great trails within short (10-15 minute) drives. The drive to Woodstock was less than 15 minutes, and I don't think the location could be much better--we went everywhere we wanted to go and never spent more than 45 minutes in the car, usually no more than 25. Judy was incredibly responsive to all of our questions, immediately addressed any issues or concerns, and left us great advice about local attractions and events; the house and property were clean and well-maintained. A couple of caveats--the wonderful stairs can make it a bit challenging for parents with active toddlers or stair-enthralled babies, though there's enough to keep them entertained elsewhere. Anyone with stair difficulties, who wishes to come and go a lot, might have difficulty with the house, but it's definitely do-able, as the main floor has everything on one level.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay in this charming, funky and relaxing home in the woods. The house has lots of privacy while still being less than 15 mins from Woodstock. The house is lovingly decorated with artwork and unique furnishings and is well stocked with supplies, as well as a large selection of wonderful books, games and music.

Owner Judy was great to deal with: friendly, helpful, accommodating and easily accessible. She recommended wonderful galleries and restaurants in the area. We would happily return!!
