Wonderful property! The house is beautiful and spacious with lots of fun things for both the kids and adults to do. The riverside fire pit is amazing, as is the hot tub and lovely deck overlooking the river. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well appointed. Great location near New Paltz and the state park.

We had a wonderful stay at the Dreamhouse! It was clean, comfortable, and had nearly everything we needed. There were a few small things that could use attention (the TV in the master bedroom we couldn't get to work, the freezer wasn’t freezing well, and the hot tub room was a bit dusty), but those fixes would make it even better. Communication with the host was easy, and responses were quick.Overall, the home was lovely and welcoming, with plenty of space for all 12 of us. We’d happily recommend it and would definitely stay again the next time we’re in the area.

Such a wonderful stay for our girls weekend upstate! We were a group of 9, but had so much room to spread out and didn’t feel like we were crammed in.Everything was clean and modern. Location was perfect - 5 mins from town, but felt like our own farm (we saw so many animals - chipmunks, deer, turkeys, even a skunk (who was cute and kept his distance :) )Kitchen was spacious for cooking in and living room was perfect for our game nights and movie watching. Communication for this Vrbo was truly wonderful. The team was so fast and super helpful. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Girls Trip

Everyone really loved the house, especially the hot tub. In fact, one of the attendees asked for the link to the house as she planned to return again for a possible mother-daughter weekend getaway. The host was very quick to reply whenever we had any questions. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area.

New Paltz in the Woods

We had a terrific weekend. The house was clean, modern and very accommodating. We loved the layout of the home and all of its amenities. The location was a short drive to town and we had plenty of space on the deck to enjoy the beautiful trees and land. The deck even had a view of the river.

The family was very impressed with the house and this was a great place to stay. I never that French Press coffee and this was the best coffee. Each day my daughter wanted me to make her a cup. This was a great Vrbo fine. Thank you Serg and Mary for hosting my family.

Amazing Stay at this Dream House!

My wife, kids, grandparents and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Riverfront Modern House over the last weekend! The home is very spacious and easily accommodated our large group. In addition, we appreciated the stylish decor and the fact that the house was immaculate. The property is an easy drive to and from the the New Paltz Main St and Farmer's Market, so we conveniently headed into town for shopping and meals. We all took advantage of the barbeque grill on our last evening there, and it was so nice to enjoy the meal on the lovely deck overlooking the river! I'd definitely be interested in staying at this property again in the future!

Secluded yet near town!

Our group of 4 adults and 3 kids had a lovely stay at this property. It was a nice setup for two families with plenty of beds and bathrooms and a great open space for the kitchen and living room.The house itself was very clean and felt secluded despite being a quick drive from the bustle of New Paltz. The large deck had a great view of the river and the kids enjoyed the screened-in hot tub!Serg and his team responded quickly to my questions via the VRBO app and offered their help if we needed ideas for activities or restaurants.Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I would be happy to book one of Serg's properties again!

Just got back from a great girls' trip where we stayed one night. The house was perfect for the eight of us- clean, comfortable and modern. The house may not look like much on the outside but inside t's beautiful - clearly the host put thought into the details. The living room/dining room was perfect for us to hang out in and we never felt cramped. Our only complaint- and it was a big one for our group- was the hot tub took hours to heat and wasn't at the correct temperature until we were ready to check out. I was in charge of booking our house for the night and one of the reasons we chose this house was due to the hot tub! Very disappointing. Although the situation was not resolved in order for us to enjoy the hot tub during our stay, the host was very attentive and responsive to our messages.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct 2025
We’re so glad your group enjoyed the comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful design of the home. Regarding the hot tub, our team had already raised the temperature during turnover after discovering that prior guests had lowered it. Unfortunately, these systems take several hours to reheat, and with your early check-in and one-night stay, it hadn’t yet reached the full setting by arrival. We completely understand the disappointment, but please know our team acted quickly and did everything possible to help. We always strive to deliver a smooth, relaxing stay for every guest and appreciate you recognizing our responsiveness and care.

Graduation

This house was absolutely perfect for our graduation trip to New Paltz. Each group in our family were able to have their own space because of the great layout of the house. Both the inside 8and outside wete perfect for hosting friends and classmates of my grandson in celebration of his graduation. Communication with host was quick and easy. All in all a great place to stay. Unfortunately my grandson graduated so we will probably not be returning to New Paltz any time soon because i definately would stay again. Also, it is very private with plenty of parking...perfect.
