20 Reviews of Property 261768 in Rhinebeck, New York

The house was exactly what we were looking for as far as accomodations. We were 11 women who every year go away for a few days. The bedrooms and baths were enough. The bedrooms were clean but 2 of the bedrooms had no shades on windows. The bathrooms were clean and new like..

The kitchen was a disappointment. The floors were not clean. There was an ant problem. The stainless steel refrigerator was clean inside but the outside was horrible. There is a stainless steel cleaner that is sold in Ace Hardware that would have made a big difference. Same for dishwasher.

The lighting over the kitchen table is not bright enough.

The house was great! We went with a group of 6 couples and we all had plenty of space. The house was kept very clean. The property is beautiful, although we got a huge snowstorm while we were there! I was very happy that the owners had someone come and plow the driveway, so we didn't have to worry about getting out.

All in all, it was a great trip- I highly recommend the house and hope to be back!

The house was fantastic, exactly as described and even larger than we expected it to be! The amenities and layout were as detailed, everything was clean and well-maintained. My friends and I rented the house for a week so we could all stay together while attending a friend's wedding in Rhinebeck. The entire experience was fantastic and I would definitely recommend renting this property.
The management was extremely responsive and friendly, and they are close by.

If you are looking for a retreat from the busy-ness of modern life, this is the house for you. Our family booked this house with the intention of reconnecting with some family in the area and were able to do so pleasantly. The location is very close to the Taconic Parkway and an easy drive to either Rhinebeck or Red Hook. The grounds were enjoyed by all whether hiking, fishing or just relaxing. Everyone hiked the trails and the children had fun with the seesaw and croquet set . The far pond did yield some fish (caught & released) to the pleasure of my husband and children. The house is big with a good layout, spacious rooms and fun art. We found plenty of space to move around and relax. Casual dining was easy and I had no trouble preparing and serving meals for us and our guests, sometimes almost 20 people!

We did encounter a few downsides, however. As the previous reviewer commented, we also found our socks black at the end of every day. Some people in our group minded this more than others. Also, although water pressure in the sinks was fine, it was terrible in the showers making it very difficult to rinse off. While I found most of the linens and towels that we needed, more serviceable washcloths would have been appreciated.

The owner and property manager provided prompt customer service once a problem was reported and did their utmost to find solutions. One persistent problem which was not solved was a very poor phone connection. With no cell phone coverage, a stronger house phone connection would be essential in an emergency.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from the hectic pace of daily life.

While the setting of this "mini-farm" was beautiful, the house itself and surrounding grounds proved disappointing and not necessarily as advertised.When a traveler chooses a site, the description needs to match the actual house; this did not. One of the biggest issues was that although air conditioning was advertised in the listing, we found the units in the closets and not in the windows. When we called on Sat, the owner did not arrive to put them in the windows until Wednesday, resulting in some uncomfortable nights.While 17+ acres of trails were advertised, the condition of the grounds was overgrown and unkempt so that the trails were inaccessible. Again, it wasn't until the owner arrived on Wednesday that the pathways to the ponds were mowed and we could get there. The listing mentioned parking in the garage but because there was wood stacked inside it, we had to park outside. Sadly, the house was not clean upon our arrival. Pots and pans were grease-caked, there were live and dead bugs throughout and even mildew in the showers. When we walked on the bare floors, our socks turned black quickly. The towels were thin and stiff and really need to be replaced. Although the listing states the house sleeps 10/12, seating at the dining room table was barely comfortable at 8 (if you don't include the broken chair) and seating in the living room area likewise really only comfortably accommodated 5-6 people. The kitchen needs a mixer, cereal bowls and water glasses. and if there were alarm clocks in the bedrooms, we didn't find them. There was a 5 burner stove, but only three pots. Did you know that one of the oven racks tilts and falls when you lay a pan on it? We had to break into the thermostats when the heat, yes, the heat came on that first warm night at 3 in the morning. There were no instructions about such basics although eventually we found a key in a drawer.
On the positive side, the house layout was lovely, the board games we found were fun, the neighbors were friendly, the wifi worked great, and we loved the nature sightings of birds, deer, chipmunks, rabbits, and one magical night hundreds and hundreds of fireflies flitting from stem to stem, like an invasion of Tinker Bells.The website description raised expectations that simply weren't met, resulting in a disappointing experience. With some description revision and additional owner attention, this house can indeed be a wonderful and comfortable experience for future renters.

We had a really lovely weekend! The house was perfect for all of us. We had lovely meals and loads of laughter and fun.

We have been going away as a department for 17 years! This, by far was the best experience! We like to play guitar and sing, without disturbing anyone and this is the place to be! It is a beautiful, funky and tastefully decorated house! There were common gathering areas as well as secluded places for a quiet chat!
We had a fabulous meal that we cooked in the spacious kitchen Friday night. On Saturday, we hiked the area in the morning, then went into Rhinebeck to explore and have lunch. Great day, perfect weather! There was a smaller crowd at the house Saturday night and we had a lovely evening chatting and talking about why we would want to go anywhere else for our annual getaway! This place is ALL it says it is and more! Thank you to Dana and her partners for opening your home!

We had a wonderful weekend enjoying this house and its beautiful setting. The house is huge - much bigger than we expected - and well appointed. We found everything easy to use and the location was great.
It is on a county road on which cars drive fast, but luckily the amount of traffic is very very sparse, like 1 or 2 cars per hour.
I would highly recommend staying here to anyone interested.
Thanks for the great experience !
