I’ve rented this house once a year for the past few years with about 8 other people and I cannot recommend it More. The hosts are amazing, house is great so is the area it’s located. The bedrooms are comfortable and cozy. The pool is a great size especially for the amount of people at the house can hold. There’s a lot of small touches that make it feel better than your normal like Airbnb adjacent experience.

This pristine five-bedroom vacation home exceeded our expectations. It offers so many thoughtful extras, including a coffee bar with coffee, filters, and creamers, a fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of towels for the pool area. The home was tastefully decorated, exceptionally clean, and comfortably accommodated our family of 10 with plenty of room to spare.Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish, and everything went smoothly. We had no issues whatsoever. This is a wonderful home for larger families, and we would definitely stay here again.

My wife, our kids and their families all met for a few days in the Albany area. The house was perfect. Relaxing, casual setting. Room to spread out. The kids loved the pool and theater room. S’mores in the fire pit. We all enjoyed the views and the deer walking through the backyard. Including a mom and her two fawns. Jessica and Erik were great hosts, providing a welcome gift of local wines and coffee, as well as the S’mores supplies.

Amazing house and host

We love this house we rented it two summers ago as well as this, and have every intention on renting it again next summer. The house is beautiful. The location is perfect and the host is great. There’s also lots of little touches that make it a lot closer to staying in a hotel.

We had a group of adults and kids that spent three nights here. We went to Saratoga for a day, and spent the remainder of the time at the house. Anytime we ran into an issue the host was super responsive and helped us work it out quickly. The kids loved the pool and the movie room, and the adults loved lounging in the deck area!

A beautiful and entertaining weekend getaway

The house was well kept and our host Jessica was extremely tentative to any questions or concerns that my guests and I had during our stay. This was the perfect destination to enjoy a weekend away from our stressful daily routine. We especially made use of the home theater in the basement. Will definitely keep this property in mind for any future outings.

We booked last minute after our original rental fell through. We believe it was meant to be. This home had something for everybody. The theatre room & game room were huge hits for everybody. The views are amazing. Plenty of comfortable beds. It was perfect for our Thanksgiving family dinner. Looking forward to a summer trip to enjoy the pool!!

Weekend Friends Trip

My friends and I stayed at this property in July 2023 and had an incredible time. Jessica was in constant contact with us before we checked in through check out. Everything you would need for the kitchen, grill, bathrooms, bedrooms, pool, garbage, etc were fully stocked and easy to find. We had a great time, were able to explore some local wineries and breweries, and definitely would recommend others stay here for their get a ways.

Extremely old and outdated house. The floor is upstairs creek somebody gets up to use the restroom. It wakes you up. On top of that the homeowner has all their effects in the house, from clothes, toothbrushes, guitars, personal belongings everywhere. Very disappointed.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. The home’s layout, decor, and furnishings are accurately reflected in the listing photos, and as a 24-year-old home, some natural noise transfer between floors can occur. This property is also used as a second home, so some personal items and decorative pieces are kept on-site, while guest areas remain fully accessible aside from a designated storage space. Some of the items mentioned were located in areas intended for storage rather than guest use. We’re sorry the setup did not meet your expectations and appreciate you sharing your experience. We’ll also review the listing details to ensure the home’s character and setup are clearly communicated for future guests.

Great House for a Private Getaway

This property was perfect for our larger get-together with friends. We hade tons of space inside the house for cooking and talking, as well as a wonderful outdoor area where we could spend evening warming up by a fire pit. With such a wonderful house came an even more gracious host, who checked in frequently to ensure all was well. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to escape the bustle of the larger city, but still be within striking distance of a major metropolitan area.

Perfect for a Secluded Getaway

This property is well equipped for your personal gatherings where you would like your privacy. The house can easily accommodate large groups in multiple beds, with spacious inside areas for meals and conversation, as well as a wonderful outdoor area in which you can spend the evenings by a fire pit enjoying the summer air. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be away from the bustle of a town, but within striking distance to a major metropolitan area.
