Wonderful

It was quiet and peaceful. Loved hearing the goats, especially the babies. Great little apartment with everything you could possibly need. Well stocked!!
Everything about the property was wonderful and exactly as presented; location was wonderful and everything worked out very well - 5 STARS; we will definitely stay there again, next time in Leeds, New york
Location, location, location - it was perfect. Space of privacy, big back yard, and off the beaten path. Close to wedding venue, Gather Greene. Welcoming - both the home and the town. I highly recommend making Leeds and this lovely one bedroom home a stopping point on your travels through the Catskills.

Nice that it is close to a river but necessitates taking a short walk for it. Basically is on a parking lot. Was not impressed that when we arrived after dark, the lights did not turn on by the switch by the door (had to reset on a remote on far side of room), the TV was not on a setting that would work and there was almost no toilet paper. We did not get a reply that night but did the next day.
There are 3 wood chipping/logging sites in operation surrounding the house, it is loud along with the street noise!! Flies in the house for 4 days, ridiculous. attached house was empty, as a woman traveling alone surrounded by woods, well I didn’t feel safe. cute deck doesn’t have an umbrella, there is no shade, unless as Michelle suggested, you sit under her deck next to the garage on broken cement with a view of the large parking area & and a leaking drain pipe. She doesn’t live here, she will only except texts & doesn’t answer the phone. If you want to shower in sulphur with a rotten egg smell - this place is for you. The exhaust fan over stove does not work, you can’t really cook without opening windows, door (no screen). I had trouble locking the door@ 6:00am to go out, I called, no answer! If something happens here- you are on your own!! I’m ill & came here to rest/relax/paint. The lovely landscaping is nothing but weeds & the grass needs mowing. No photos of that or the back of the house. There are goats next door ❤️, but be careful, I think that’s an electric fence, goats don’t come near it & I didn’t touch it, don’t let her tell you that you can pet the friendly goats. I know this is lengthy & somehow the reviews are good??? Too many remotes & switches all over for lights, fans, a/c & good luck turning the TV on, Michelle texted a ‘process’ to do that. If none of these things bother you- go for it. don’t lean on kitchen counters or bathroom sink, - not attached!
This property was wonderful. The hosts were extraordinary in helping us with a fine stay. It’s very close to Frank Guido’s - Port of Call. Even though the house is empty which is attached, we still felt safe. I would return to this property for sure.
Check in was super easy and the rental had everything we needed! Close to all the things we wanted to do in the area without the crazy prices. Would definitely stay again in area.
Michelle's property was very neat, clean and comfortable. I recommend her property to anyone looking for a good place to stay if visiting the catskills. I can't praise Michelle enough for the way she made my wife and I feel at home.
Michelle was very prompt in getting back to us regarding our stay and staying in contact with us should we need anything. The property and rental were both clean and quiet and we will be back for sure.
The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Michelle was very responsive by text after I had checked in. As others have mentioned, there is a slight sulfur smell to the water. I took the advice from an earlier review and brought several gallons of water from home. There were plenty of smaller bottles of drinking water available but I'm trying to not use so many throw away plastic bottles. There is also some road noise but it wasn't too bothersome. Overall, a great place. I'd stay again.
