We rented this house for a party of 20 for a wedding in the area. The house was very comfortable and convenient with the many beds, bedrooms, bathrooms, and amenities. Very clean, well-organized, and well stocked. Alexandra was very responsive and promptly addressed a light bulb that went out during our stay. Thanks so much!
Had an amazing time at Jewel house for Fourth of July weekend!! Gathered a bunch of friends for a weekend reunion and the space was so perfect, didn’t feel like we were on top of each other and had everything we needed!!! Highly recommend this space!

we are glad you guys had the best time and we look forward to having you again
This house was perfect for our four generation extended family who needed a place to stay while attending a nearby wedding. Key to our party of 12 was the number of private bedrooms and the number of ensuite bathrooms. The beds were plentiful and they were quite comfortable and nicely furnished. This house is clearly capable of handling large catered events with six refrigerators/freezers, two dishwashers, two stovetops (an 8 burner gas and a four burner radiant electric), a dining room that seats 24, and large living rooms.Our two young granddaughters particularly enjoyed watching out for and spotting the groundhog in the backyard!We would highly recommend this accommodation; and the hosts were very gracious and quick to respond to any inquiries.
This was our second year at Jewel House for our annual winter trip. The space is great for playing board games. The kitchen is phenomenal for group cooking.

We had a wonderful reunion event for about 15 people. This large house with many bedrooms and common spaces was perfect! Highly recommend. Wonderful hosts.
The property offered a great locale for our mini family reunion of ten people, ranging in age from 11 months to 79 years. The kitchen is massive, and very well equipped for a large gathering. But there are enough bedrooms and bathrooms to ensure plenty of privacy when desired.

We are so glad you love Jewel House Retreats as much as we do - we hope to have you back in the near future
It’s a peaceful getaway that you deserve over a long weekend with family. This is a huge and well maintained, considering that it was built in 1920s. When we are staying, we also get to know that this was also a speakeasy during the time of probation.Will recommend for sure. Great hosts as well, they took care of all the communication prior, during and after the stay.

We loved having Ashwani at our property and would happily rent to her again - great communication
The property was gorgeous, and a perfect fit for the 14 of us (plus a couple of dogs)! The bedrooms were perfect, with multiple A/C zones, and the common spaces were awesome. The chef's kitchen was unbelievable!

I stayed here with friends having 20 people, this house was exactly what we needed. It was one of only a few houses that have enough individual beds for 20 people, dining room for 20 people, enough bathrooms, and general house space for 20 people. The house has an old charm and wifi worked wonderfully throughout the whole house, which was a welcome surprise considering the size of the house. Additionally, the house has a great location, there is a lot to do in the area and is only a short drive from the Poughkeepsie train station.

We loved having Drew and his friends and would love to have them back sometime soon - they were great communicative guests
We had a family reunion with seventeen adults and two children, and the house worked wonderfully. The place provided the right number of bedrooms and beds. The common spaces provided ample room for visiting, game playing and meals. Also, we had a great final dinner at the large table on the front porch followed by smores at the fire pit.

We loved having Robert and his group and would love to have them back again.
Our family and guests were very happy with the house and property. Bedrooms were large, lots of room to spread out in living and dining rooms; and deep covered front porch with large table was great.
Owner was easy to work with and very responsive.

Kevins group was great! they were very communicative and followed all the house rules! We look forward to having them back again maybe sometime soon.
My extended family of 13 adults and 1 baby really enjoyed our long weekend at the Jewell house. Everything was clean and comfortable. The huge kitchen, dining room and covered porch allowed us all to be together without feeling crowded. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed hiking in the nearby parks.

We loved having Dan and his family at Jewel House Retreats and look forward to hosting them again some time
The house worked beautifully for our group of 14 adults. We were out and about most of the time (cycling, hiking, sight-seeing, visiting historic sites), but loved gathering on the fabulous front porch as well as group dinners in the enormous dinning room.
