Great stay

Kim was wonderful to work with from the booking process to check out. Our family of four loved the house and the space outside. The chickens were a huge hit!

A Perfect Weekend

Clean, comfortable, welcoming, spacious, perfect. My two sisters, my husband and I came together from different parts of the state and country to celebrate my mother‘s 84th birthday. While my mother did not stay overnight, she spent each day with us, and we were able to enjoy the house and surroundings completely. We were able to cook as a group and enjoyed many meals together. we spent a lot of time going through photos from our past and remembering other together occasions. We had a very nice time. Thank you so much.

Wonderful house to rent!

Stayed here for two nights with our daughters and my two sisters. The house was very comfortable, clean and a great pleasure to stay in. The first night our landlord knocked on the door and offered a freshly backed tray of scones. What a beautiful touch.

Beautiful Home by Rensselaer (RPI)

This amazing home is perfect for a family looking to visit a student at RPI. We were coming in for Family Weekend and the hotels gouged their prices. We looked at this house because it was big enough for our family but also welcomed our dogs. Our son was thrilled to be "home" with the dogs. This house feels like home. It's clean and the kitchen is stocked with dishes and pots and pans. The yard and porches are gorgeous. The beds and pillows are so comfortable. There are extra blankets and throws to curl up in and watch a movie at night in the family room. We cooked and made an apple pie. We left one for Mike & Kim as a thank you. They left us incredible home made goodies in the table for our arrival. The home is about 20 min from RPI and my son was thrilled to be off campus and felt so comfortable here that we spent most of the weekend here playing games and hanging out. The house is in a beautiful and safe area. You will fall in love with this house. It's perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Property Manager

We, ( Mike and Kim ) purchased this gracious home in June of 2015 and live in the owners unit on the left side of this 4000+sqft residence. Our home is and will always be an ever changing work in progress: always on the lookout for that next perfect antique or unique treasure to place inside, to the ongoing exterior yard work; adding perennial and vegetable gardens, working on the lawn and path down to the woods or just finding ways to make our guests more comfortable! Our goal is to provide all that one could need to make your stay relaxing and memorable. Between us, we have 7 children and 10 grandchildren, as well as two 10 year old pups; a Jack Russell named Token and a Jack Russell-Chihuahua mix named Peanut. If you have questions or a special request please don’t hesitate to contact us. We will get back to you promptly!
