Simply Outstanding.We spent an early September weekend at Kelly’s, and regretted not staying another night. Kelly was quick to respond to our queries, generous to allow an early check-in. we were just in time to catch a beautiful sunset on the Wallkill river. The house has a perfect balance of being located in a residential neighborhood, but with a very private backyard which is the highlight of this property. We spent hours by the fire pit and on the patio taking in the scenery. A variety of wildlife passed by: we saw geese landing on the river waters at sunset, groundhogs and squirrels running about the backyard and deer come by to graze and take a nap under the big tree by the river. The house itself was impeccably clean, perhaps recently renovated and fully stocked for a very comfortable stay (we are pretty sure the owner asked ‘what would we need if we were to stay in this house?’). The house has everything from first-aid kits, a wide collection of spices, coffee, full sets of cooking utensils, cutlery, laundry supplies, plenty of towels, tools to get fire-pit going and knickknacks that one wouldn’t typically expect at such a property. The backyard gets a little dark after sunset, but this could be to avoid attracting bugs. We were a few minutes late in leaving the property and the cleaners were also very accommodating and waited patiently for our departure. Overall, a do-not-miss experience a couple hours away from NYC and one we cannot wait to visit again.

River view/ peaceful setting

The 2 bedroom house was right on the river and was easy to enjoy with the fire pit on the property. The back patio had a great time view as well. Inside everything was clean and well appointed. I was very pleased with our stay here. It's about 30 minutes to the closest town of any size though,.so plan ahead with groceries,.etc.

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!

Short stay with family

Overall our stay was great. The place is very clean and the rooms look like the pictures. The listing is listed as an entire house but there is another unit attached to the house. There was a unit above us and to the side of us. With 4 children I knew we would have moments that it would be loud and I didn’t like that I knew other people shared walls with us. I specifically booked it because it is listed as a whole house. Additionally the deck in the pictures has furniture but there is currently no furniture. When I contacted the host she said they were waiting on new furniture to arrive, which is great for the future renters but not us. We had planned on sitting on the deck after the kids went to bed. The host said we could bring up chairs from the basement which didn’t interest us. There are multiple cameras in the backyard. It made us feel a bit uncomfortable. We understand hosts needing cameras for renters but it seemed excessive.

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.

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!

Beautiful location and space

Multiple family members stayed for a family graduation party nearby. Kelly was quick to respond to questions and the duplex house was beautiful, all newly done and decorated. The location was fabulous, and we only wish the weather had allowed us to enjoy a fire outside on the riverbank. My only suggestion would be to provide sheets and blankets for the couches since they are considered as beds for two people. We did find two extra pillows in one of the bedrooms and there were two throw blankets (I did not look in the other bedroom for extra bedding as my Dad was sleeping in there, so they could have been in there). Overall it was a great place that was as advertised. We appreciated the coffee as I mistakenly bought whole bean and would have missed my morning java! Thanks, Kelly!
