Massive house with foosball table for family fun

This house is massive! I opened a door expecting it to be a garage. It wasn't: it was a huge 5th bedroom! It was clean and we really appreciated that the refrigerator was totally empty (we're so used to having other people's condiments left in fridges). We are so appreciative that he allowed our rotten chihuahua-mix join us. Thank you! The owner was so responsive and flexible and the location was ideal. We loved going to First Village Coffee and recommend it.We had so much fun with the foosball table, and playing hide-and-seek with the rotten chihuahua.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2026
Hi Julia, Thank you so much for the wonderful review—it truly means a lot! I’m really glad you enjoyed the space (that “surprise” 5th bedroom gets a lot of people) and that everything felt clean and ready for your stay. I’m especially happy your chihuahua-mix was able to join the fun—we love hosting guests traveling with their pups. Great call on First Village Coffee too—that’s one of our favorites! And it sounds like the foosball table and hide-and-seek made for some great memories. You and your group were an absolute pleasure to host, and you’re always welcome back anytime. All the best, Oscar

Comfortable stay. Loved the game/TV room in the basement, perfect for our teens to entertain in a different area. I also loved that there were 4 toilets for our family trip. Communication with the host was smooth and quick! Definitely recommend.

Great stay in Ossining

Great house and location. Lots of amenities and comfortable furniture. Great backyard (with fireflies if you're there in the summer). Lots of space with a fun basement/gameroom. We recommend!

Great communication with the property manager, Oscar. Super, prompt, responsive and helpful. I didn’t know when I booked thru VRBO that it would switch to EVOLVE and that there was a one time extra charge to VRBO, very confusing and adds to total cost.

Nice visit

The house was nice & spacious. I do feel like it could use more seating in the living room, considering it can hold up to 11 guests. It would aslo be nice if there were tv's in the guest rooms upstairs. Also, maybe make sure the cleaning crew removes cobweks.

From the owner:Hi Heidi, thank you for your feedback on your recent stay! We are thrilled you enjoyed the property. We'd like to take a moment to raise the concerns you mentioned. -We take great care in thoroughly cleaning our properties, but as you may know, spiders can form webs quite quickly—even within a few hours or overnight—especially in more natural environments. While we do our best to stay on top of this, we will make sure to pay even closer attention to this detail moving forward.-Regarding your suggestions about additional seating and TVs in the guest rooms, we appreciate your input and will certainly take it into consideration as we continually work to enhance the experience for our guests.Thanks again for choosing our home, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!

Nice house

Nice house for a big family or 2 families. The air was a bit stale like no one had used it for a while and they didnt air it out before we arrived. Also the dryer would not dry, it was styck on cool no matter what setting we put. All in all, a great place to stay

Great place for group accommodations

We had a group of 6 close friends traveling to NY to visit another friend who lives in Cortland Manor. This house was in exactly the right location and had the right amenities for our group. Everyone had their own bedroom and there were enough bathrooms for folks to have a little privacy. The beds are comfy and there’s a ton of space in this house. Our only issue was the lack of furniture in almost every room. No coffee table in the living room is a problem when you have 8 people hanging out together. There are no luggage racks of surfaces to put your bags. Otherwise, its a great house.

Amenities

Overall our stay was nice. Unfortunately the dryer did not work. We tried everything to get our clothes to dry and had to take them home wet. Wanted to wash more towels but dryer not heating. Listing states there was an iron and ironing board but there was not. We had to go out and purchase both as we were there to attend multiple wedding events. There is no gym only an exercise weigh bench in garage. House was beautiful, well kept and all rooms were clean, comfortable and nice.

Worse VRBO Ever

The worst VRBO experience ever:We arrived in NY anticipating a wonderful stay, this was our third time bringing guests to tour.Our days are usually filled with activities outside of the residence and we like to return in the evening and share a meal together, fellowship, and to enjoy the comforts of a home environment. This is why we choose VRBO over staying at a hotel.After the drive in from JFK, we arrived at our VRBO, 18 Somerstown Rd. Ossining, NY. We choose rooms, and headed back out the door to do a little grocery shopping and to bring in a meal for the night here is a list of our shared experience:Trash was all over the area where it seemed trash was kept. None of the trash cans had lids, only one trash can was really available for our use.It looked like an animal had rummaged through the trash, the critter had easy access to trash, nothing prevented him or them, no deterrent.The was refrigerator was NOT clean. We had to wipe it down.Next black carpenter ants were every where.Ants were in beds, all over kitchen, on walls, bathrooms, everywhere.The shower head in the master bedroom did not function well, making taking a shower difficult. We could not get water temperature adjusted.Also the tub was not clean.The upstairs shower needed/needs a new shower curtain, the one there is filthy.There was no soap of any kind available to shower with, if not provided this should have been mentioned.One of the amenities listed was washer/dryer for the first fe

From the Owner: "Hi Vanessa, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I want to sincerely apologize for the condition of the property during your stay—it’s clear that we fell far short of the quality and comfort you expected and deserved.-Please know that we’ve taken your feedback very seriously. Since your visit, we have replaced both the host and the cleaning team responsible for the property to ensure a much higher standard moving forward. We’ve also addressed the issues you mentioned, including proper trash disposal, pest control, deep cleaning of the kitchen and bathrooms, and refreshing amenities like shower curtains and supplies.-We understand how disappointing this experience must have been—especially as you were hosting guests and looking forward to a relaxing home environment. I truly regret that we weren’t able to provide that for you.-We appreciate your honesty and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future. Your feedback has been instrumental in helping"
