Let me preface by saying the owner of the property (Gene? Maybe, I’m sorry I forgot his name) was absolutely LOVELY. We got a chance to chat with him over the weekend we were there and he was a gem. As far as the “house,” (really just a garage turned into a little house,) we got hit in the face with the smell of mildew and mold. Both my husband and I had trouble breathing from it. There were spots on the floor where you could tell the flooring was about to go, and there were bugs everywhere. Now, I understand the bug situation in the middle of a hot June weekend, but the mildew/mold smell was awful to the extent we almost cancelled on our second night. Everytime we conversed with Jessica, it seemed like we were just an inconvenience to her. All we needed this place for was a place to sleep, so we made do; but all in all I likely would not book this place again.

A nice getaway in upstate NY
This was a cute, cozy place to stay at on our trip to NY. It had everything we needed and was in a nice area. Overall a great spot to either spend time in or come back to after a long day.

Very nice place
This place was very clean, welcoming and cozy, and had everything you would need for a short stay. They really thought of everything! It's too bad there was a state burn ban, because even the firepit area was well appointed, and a campfire would have been lovely:)

Great!
The space was very clean and cute. The host left a cute little note with some sparkling water which was a nice touch. The upstairs bedroom was warm and cozy and the downstairs was perfect for hanging out and watching TV. Probably ideal for one or two people:)

Beautiful little cottage in the trees
We enjoyed a very relaxing stay in this adorable little cottage. Perfect getaway for a couple. We cooked a couple meals, watched a couple movies, even enjoyed the outdoor fire pit! And, of course, thoroughly enjoyed the surrounding area. A gorgeous part of upstate NY!

Cute cottage but...
This little cottage was very nice to stay in. It was close enough to shopping centers but far enough away that you felt like you were in a secluded area. The main issue we had was that the stairs were very narrow with no railing. It was very difficult for my mother to get up and down the stairs and did not feel safe trying to do so in the middle of the night if she had to use the bathroom. Instead she had to sleep on the couch but the pullout was horrifically uncomfortable so she literally slept on the loveseat (good thing she's short! Lol). These things were not exactly evident in the pictures of the property. Other than the sleeping arrangement issues it was very nice and had everything we needed.

Great getaway outside Saratoga Springs
This adorable home was a perfect getaway spot for those looking to stay in the Saratoga area but who don't want to pay the Saratoga Springs prices. It was in absolutely immaculate condition in a quite neighborhood. The house has everything you need including a lovely firepit for a relaxing evening. Highly recommend

Excellent!
We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were very responsive and flexible, and the cottage was adorable, very clean, and fit our needs perfectly. Our only recommendation would be that the mattress on one of the cots is probably near the end of its useful life. However, for a weekend, it was not a big deal. We would return to this property again! Thank you for a great weekend!

Tiny Home away from home
The location and setup was amazing. This tiny little home was so welcoming and warm. The ease of access to many different location for the New England area. Was able to visit many states and always come home.
Owners were responsive to needs but considering of our privacy. They were understanding and helpful.
Would recommend putting a list of recyclable items in the book.
