Great time on the Hudson
Rented this property with a bunch of friends for the weekend and we couldn't have had a better time. The pool and hot tub were great, the large lawn was perfect for games, and the house was large, spacious with plenty of rooms for everyone to sleep. The outdoor grill was excellent and we used it for all of our meals. The large screened in porch was also great for hanging out after the sun went down. Bonus there was a bald eagle living nearby that we saw flying on the river multiple times each day.
Beautiful Property!
A group of 10 of us (5 couples) stayed at the house for a weekend of celebrations. It was perfect and we are already planning another stay. The property is breathtaking with infinity pool and a great big lawn that looks right onto the river. One of our days was chilly and rainy but it didn’t matter...we still spent every moment outside in the hot tub and around the fire pit. House is very clean, well stocked, spacious, nice sized bedrooms. A great space for a big group. There is no need to leave the property once you are there. We played lawn games, swam in the Hudson, cooked big dinners. We can’t wait to go back!
Amazing Property!
This house is unbelievable! I stayed here with a group of friends for a long weekend and the house had everything we needed and more! The views, the pool/hot tub, and surround sound music we’re just a few of our favorite things. Jean and Richard were amazing throughout the booking experience and stayed in touch to make sure that our stay was perfect. We will definitely be coming back to Bassinova!
Amazing home, location amd experience!
I recently stayed at the Bassinova for a weekend getaway and loved everything about my stay. The pictures are amazing on the listing, but they do not fully capture just how amazing the home and land around the home is. Sharon, the property manager, and Jean, the owner, are very warm and welcoming as well. I look forward to returning to Bassinova on the Hudson in the future!

Great for Families
My wife and I rented the property for the 2nd straight New Year’s and we were once again impressed with Jean and Ricardo’s hospitality. Our party was six adults and three kids under 2 y/o. The property offers enough entertainment to keep both kids and adults happy through the long weekend.
Beautiful home
We stayed at home for three nights for my daughters wedding-spacious, clean-very warm and inviting -had everything we could have wanted. Beautiful property with breathtaking view of Hudson!
