I cannot say enough good things about Deb and Marc’s house. We were six adults who stayed for a week in August and we can’t wait to go back. The house is HUGE and so well-appointed, they’ve literally thought of everything.
The kitchen is expansive, we had four people helping cook at once and we had plenty of room. It literally has everything: kitchenaid mixer, rice cooker, every size pot, pan and dish, double oven, cocktail shaker, pong balls, marshmallow roasting spears... you need it, they had it. The deck off the kitchen was a great place to hang out, with a grill and comfy table and chairs. And ugh the leather sectional in the living room was sooo comfortable and fit everyone for our movie day during the tropical storm.
The backyard is an oasis. Loved the deck around the pool, the fire pit and the gazebo. Deb even provided lanterns for night swims and a whole set of insulated metal cups/wine glasses for drinks by the pool (no glass). Definitely BYO pool floats!
More than enough linens were available for the bedrooms and bathroom, in additional to the giant stack of pool towels. All four bedrooms are large and the beds SUPER comfortable. The house is so big and the upstairs bedrooms are so far away from the kitchen/great room that you could sleep soundly regardless of who was awake downstairs. Be advised that two of the upstairs bedrooms have skylights, which we really enjoyed, but you might want to bring a sleeping mask because you’ll wake right up with the sun.
Deb was very responsive and was quick to write me back with any questions we had during the stay, she even stopped by to help us with the air conditioning that we wouldn’t figure out (totally our fault, we didn’t read the labels right).
We didn’t go out to eat at all, but we did get ice cream in town at Alleyway and if you do one thing in saugerties, go there! Maybe go twice. Best ice cream we’ve ever had! Also we picked up meat at Smoke House of the Catskills a few nights (it’s a butcher shop) and would highly recommend if you plan on cooking.
Thanks again for an excellent vacation stay!!
