Little Retreat for Legoland

Our little family stayed at this quaint house during a trip from Brooklyn for a visit to Legoland. We found charming restaurants very close by, we loved watching sunsets over the river each night and even tried our hand at fishing. The house was perfectly laid out for my husband and I and our son to have separate spaces, but not be too far from each other and it was well equipped with board games, outdoor games, and easy access to every streaming app. The beds were comfy. There were tons of pillows and blankets. Really everything you would need for a weekend away!

50th Birthday Bash

We had a great stay. The house was clean and met all our needs. We used the fire pit on Friday, used the back lawn for yoga on the river bank and lunch on the porch. The keyless entry was great for ins and outs for our group.

Perfect for mid-week break

This property was everything that was advertised--on the river for our son to fish, a nice clean open backyard, and a cute/clean house. We were looking for a rental to escape the city and decompress a little bit. This place was perfect for that.

The house is delightful. Very comfortable and well stocked with all you need for a weekend at the river. We enjoyed our stay. Only negative was gunshots at 6AM on a Sunday morning. I assume they were goose hunting but this seems strange given the residential nature of the home. Thanks to our hosts!

I grew up in Wallkill, and had to return for a funeral. Kelly was super responsive to my questions, and she made booking with little advanced notice very easy. The house is super cute, clean, and well-equipped. Having a comfortable place to stay made a sad and difficult situation more bearable.

Close to Vineyards

My girlfriends and I stayed here for a long wknd and it exceeded our expectations. The house was located in a quiet neighborhood and very clean. The view of the river and the backyard with the 2 fire pits was beautiful. We set up the fire pit every night and were able to enjoy the outdoor space. We were very close to the vineyards which was awesome and plan in returning in the fall.

Welcoming, clean, and a great location.

This house is very comfortable and welcoming! It was very clean with a beautiful view in the backyard. Very nicely situated between New Paltz and Newburgh with a ton of farms for apple and pumpkin picking around. My wife and I stayed with our 18 month old daughter so I appreciated the mini split units in every bedroom so we can keep her room comfortable for naps and night time! Great house and definitely recommend!

Relaxing

It was a decent spot. I think it's a property much better suited for families with older children, but for the two days we were here it was relaxing with a few things to do in the area. The kids enjoyed the water, I enjoyed the kitchen and the opportunity to do laundry mid-trip, my husband enjoyed the fire pit. Overall a success.
