Beautiful Home in Saugerties for Family Vacation
This house is wonderful. Roomy w/lots of architectural details that make this a special property & perfect for a family holiday. The wood floors are to die for if you are someone who appreciates that kind of thing!
The salt water pool is oh so lovely but was a bit chilly for us. I requested a thermostat ++ & owners were very responsive & agreed but for an additional fee. It was completely worth it but a little expensive. We swam every day and it was heavenly. The pool could use some sun umbrellas as there is only a slice of shade for most of the day (but that did help the pool temp).
The yard is very well maintained. There are Hydrangeas that were in full bloom and stunning. Bumble Bees and Humming Birds were frequent visitors. We ate almost every meal outside on the back patio. Bring bug spray as there are lots of mosquitos. The yard is very private and we only occasionally heard neighbors or noise.
My only disappointment was that the kitchen wasn't clean upon arrival. The counters had crumbs, grease and food spills that required me scrubbing it all down. Additionally, the fridge was sticky inside requiring very hot water to clean it before stocking my fresh groceries.
Also, the TV room had ashes in the fireplace and lots of dead insects in the corners of multiple room. Was this a deal breaker? Absolutely not, but it wasn't a good start of things.
Also, please replace dead flat pillows. Towels/sheets great.
Owners super nice! Everything else A+++.
