Beautiful Home - Perfect Location

The property was perfect for a large family. Comfortable beds and fully stocked with everything you might need. There was a local power outage, and the owner called the utility company on our behalf. If we come back to the area, we will be staying there again!

Family wedding

Our stay was for the purpose of out of town family coming to attend a family wedding. We grew up on a farm outside of Madison so being able to stay at a family homestead outside of Hamilton was a wonderful opportunity. Everyone enjoyed the house! We look forward to another opportunity for a family stay!

Family Memorial

My husband and I stayed here with our four children ages 7-12 along with my parents. The house was conveniently located near shops and restaurants. The weekend we stayed was rainy, but the property was even gorgeous just to look at! The house comes fully stocked with anything you would need. The beds are comfortable. The house is so unique, my kids had a lot of fun exploring! I would definitely recommend this property!

Great place to stay while visiting Colgate

We stayed at the 1801 Armstrong House for two nights in February. The host was responsive and clear in his communication. The house was spotless and comfortable, with ample room for additional guests. The location is convenient. We cooked a meal in the kitchen, which contained many conveniences. We highly recommend 1801 Armstrong House!

Homecoming Weekend

A group of guys came back for some golf and the football game over Colgate’s Homecoming Weekend. The house was plenty big for all of us in sleeping arrangements and for hanging out and catching up. The house has a very historic feel too it and the charm of an old farmhouse. We would definitely look to book it again.

Charming historical home

We really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful Homestead! We stayed here for our daughter’s graduation weekend and had a lovely time. Location is great…5 min drive to campus. The home is comfortable, clean and organized. David, our host, is very accommodating and responsive. We hosted several of our daughters friends and their families for a gathering at the pavilion down by the river following the graduation ceremony. It was perfect way to end graduation weekend! Thank you David for sharing your home with us.

Madison County Country Home

The 1801 Armstrong house gave our family the rare chance to revisit the pastoral Madison county farm life that we grew up with in the 1960s. The elevated back deck afforded a view of property which included fields along the Chenango river and canal path, deer, wild turkeys, ground hogs and songbirds. Clean, spacious rooms were comfy... large enough for a big group, and private enough for all to have a good night's rest. The decor reflected the lived history of the Behler family, and we thank them for graciously sharing their historic home. It was our best VRBO stay ever!

The Perfect and highly coveted location to Colgate University

The stay was wonderful. Such a delight to have a large, comfortable house only 1.7 miles from Hamilton Center and Colgate University. Such a gem and what a wonderful family homestead!! The check in was seamless, the home is large with everything you could need, the property gorgeous and serene. Dog friendly- a major plus! The beds were new and firm, the linens crisp and fresh, tons of space to entertain and for extended family to relax and spread out. The host was responsive and accommodating. We couldn't have had a better graduation week experience. Thank you so very much, David!! I'm just so sorry we didn't find you sooner in our daughter's Colgate undergraduate career - we would have stayed every year.

A Clean Well Lighted Place, The Comfortable and Historic Version

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the 1801 Armstrong House. We were looking for a place to rest, relax and recuperate between days of visits and exploration of my old childhood neighborhood (county). This place met and exceeded our needs. 1801 Armstrong House is a combination of a historic museum and family home. It has rooms and nooks with comfortable chairs, sofas and recliners. The kitchen is fully stocked and very easy to use, even for the clumsy (like me). The place is a respectable, updated version of late 1800’s New England farm house style, highlighted with an eclectic archeological collection of knick-knacks (my favorite aspect). I spent time in a nice recliner reading the history of 1801 Armstrong and it’s former residents, while my wife enjoyed the view of the Chenango river and surroundings from it’s back deck. Nice sunset! And my sister’s family enjoyed the get-together pizza dinner we had there. This is a perfect place for travelers and visitors of Madison County. Usually, places like this, (e.g. Shangri-La) are hard to find, but this wasn’t the case. It is a short drive/bike ride from the Village of Hamilton, home of Colgate University. Which means pizza delivery! My only complaint is that I wish I had more time to spend there. My thanks to the host in letting us stay at his old family home. We’ll be back!

Wonderful house and wonderful host.

Beautiful cozy house on breathtaking property. We rented with multiple family and friends for my son’s wedding so my numbers kept changing. David was more than accommodating and made sure everything we planned could happen. Very good easy to work with and very helpful. Even made recommendations for places in the area.

Wedding stay

The rental was a great find. There is plenty of room and lots of space for conversations. The house is well stocked with everything you would need. It is a great location, the wedding venue was just minutes away. Everyone enjoyed the house and vue. We wish we had had more time to enjoy a fire in the fire pit. Thanks for the great time.
