Great getaway for a family. Place was clean and well maintained. The pool is even better in person.

Would highly recommend visiting Mike's home if you're looking for a quiet getaway. The pool was a big plus! Lots of fun activities, farmer's markets, antique stores to visit in the area. Mike was extremely responsive to texts. And his welcome packet was very useful in terms of navigating the house and the neighboring area. Highly recommend it!

Serene forest getaway

This was the perfect spot for my husband and I to get away and recharge. We read, did puzzles, swam, and rested. We saw deer and listened to birdsong. The house was comfortable and welcoming. Michael was attentive and easy to communicate with.

Great Winter Escape!

We loved staying at this warm, inviting home, set in a quiet wooded area. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. The wood burning stove is a fantastic amenity which kept us cozy and warm throughout the wintry days (the thermostat heating is also great, but we loved using the wood burning stove instead). We spent hours in the finished basement holding ping pong tournaments, enjoyed playing football in the snow outside, and did some epic sledding at a nearby park. Mostly we enjoyed hanging out in the comfortable home and admiring the natural surroundings from the many windows. Michael and Deb are fantastic hosts who go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and happy with your stay. It was a wonderful winter escape from the city.

Thank you Frances -- it was wonderful to have you and the family. It's a pleasure to have guests such as you who are reliable, great communicators and do an awesome job taking care of our home during your stay. It's great you had the opportunity to enjoy the winter wonderland that we're having this year. I am glad you were able to enjoy the ping pong table, and the wood stove is definitely key to being warm and cosy in the winter, for sure! Next time you come, hopefully it will be bonfire weather. -Michael & Deb

Amazing stay!

We enjoyed the most relaxing two weeks at this beautiful home and property! From the start, with excellent and accommodating communication about the rental, and the warm welcome message upon arrival, to the perfect, homey comforts of the sunny and open space (immaculate!) -both inside and outside, and the charming and fun touches around the house, to the great recommendations for shopping, eating, and enjoying the area, and the attentive care by the owners to ensure a comfortable and worry-free stay, this was the PERFECT getaway for a home away from home experience for our family! One day after our departure, we are already missing our peaceful breakfasts on the back deck, the reading in the hammock, the dips in the pool, the un-Girl Scout-like attempts at making a fire in the fire pit (though success in making our s’mores), the evening games of ping pong after a delicious BBQ dinner, and the one hundred nuances that made this house the ideal country getaway for our family! Even the excellent WiFi and comfortable work space necessary for my husband to Zoom during unavoidable work hours, was noteworthy. Lovely home, gorgeous, lush landscape, and the most fantastic and friendly owners, anxious to ensure a special experience! We are looking forward to the opportunity to return for future stays at this slice of heaven! Thank you, Michael, Deb, and daughters, for opening up your beautiful home to our family! Couldn’t recommend it high enough!

WE LOVED THIS HOUSE!

Best VRBO experience so far! Not only is this house cozy, warm, welcoming, super clean (especially from a pandemic-cleanliness point of view), has great amenities like a fire pit, wood-burning stove, and pool (which we didn't use because it's fall and chilly), and is in a great area, but Mike and Deb are AWESOME hosts. They answered all of our questions, were very accommodating, and were just plain cool. We came for fall foliage and good hiking, and the area could not have been better. There's a lovely trail along the Mongaup River just minutes away (we even discovered a cool little cemetery by the water with headstones dating back to the early 1800s), and plenty of other activities like canoe rentals and such nearby. Mike and Deb gave great recommendations for a lovely farmer's market and restaurants in the area, like the Fox n Hare Brewing Company in adorable Port Jervis that has GREAT beer and a "sausage medley" that my boyfriend and I are still talking about (we got takeout because we're still nervous about eating indoors). The house is secluded yet there's plenty of activity nearby but, even if you wanted to stay indoors, there's lots to do— board games, a ping pong table in the basement, a projector to plug into your computer to watch movies against the wall, etc. There's some cute artwork in the house too which we assumed was done by Mike and Deb's daughters— there's clearly some budding talent in this family! All in all, this house is pure hygge. We definitely want to come back and, to be honest, were tempted to give the place a bad review so no one would want to visit and we could keep it for ourselves—but, of course, we knew that would be wrong ;)

Perfect house for a relaxing vacation

We really enjoyed our stay. Michael and Deb were amazing hosts and made sure we had everything we needed for a smooth checkin. They were also available throughout the stay in case we had questions or needed anything. The house itself is amazing, we were welcomed to the property by a family of deer roaming around the back yard (a part of their daily routine it appeared as we saw them every day). The weather didn't necessarily cooperate with us as it rained at some point every day but we had more than enough to keep us entertained with the help of the ping pong table and the projector. Overall I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet vacation. We have already talked about going back with some friends at some point!

Awesome vaca from NYC

Owners were readily available. Property and home is even nicer than the pics. Very comfortable and very clean. Everything we needed. Projector was a big plus to watch the eastern finals for my teenager! Kitchen nicely appointed. Just an awesome time, great owners! Thanks Mike and Deb!

Our family had a wonderful experience in this charming home. Quietly tucked away amidst the trees and a short drive to a stunning waterfall.

Great Glen Spey Sojourn

Awesome stay in the woods with nature all around. It snowed! It was beautiful. Michael and Deb were great in providing us with anything we needed during our stay. They made it very easy if we had any questions. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. No TV but we didn’t need one at all. Great internet and were able to work. Also had AT&T phone coverage and text. Will love to stay here again.
