Perfect little house
Thrilled to find this cute little house that was sweet, clean and comfortable. We were attending a graduation in Troy — it was just 10 minutes away and well priced. Highly recommend.

Everything you need
A roomy house to stay with family members. I visited with siblings and there was plenty of space in the bedrooms and common areas. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable, including the couches and seating. Conveniently located near a shopping plaza (helpful for grocery shopping and to buy wine) and we enjoyed the screened-in porch during nice weather. The host, Jamie, was prompt in her communication. Highly recommend!

Great house!
Highly recommend this house! It’s super clean, spacious, fantastic amenities… seemed much bigger than we expected with large rooms. Plenty of places to relax and or connect with each other (sun porch, living room, dining room, patio, great yard, etc.) Thanks for a fantastic place for our family to gather!

Always Nice
We love staying here when we come to NY. After a delayed flight, just walking in the door you breathe a sigh of relief because it is just so warm and comfortable and spotless and familiar! We immediately relax and are always happy to be back. Thank you Jamie for making sure all needs are met and I know if I need something your response will be immediate. Until next time!

In town for a conference. My team and I decided to stay here instead of a hotel. It was great to have the extra room after the long days and our own rooms to decompress. The house was perfect.. location, cleanliness and communication with the owner..

Perfect home, perfect hosts!
Three of us stayed here to attend our 59th high school reunion and it couldn't have been better. The home is spotlessly clean and the kitchen is the most well stocked I've experienced at a VRBO. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the back patio to have our morning coffee on. The owners were responsive and considerate of our needs. Highly recommend!

This was a great location and house; big enough for her entire family. The neighborhood was quiet, the house was clean, all amenities were excellent. The hostess was very communicative and we could not have asked for more. I highly recommend.

Quintessential Upstate NY Experience
Host was accommodating to date changes. Check in instructions were clear and easy to follow. There's a house before this location that I accidentally pulled into without checking the house number on the mailbox. GPS was correct but after a 12 hour travel day, easy mistake to make. This house doesn't have a wheelchair ramp.
House was very charming. Grandma's house feel that feels clean and with modern amenities. Great sun room for early morning coffee. Kitchen had full functionality and cooking equipment. Downstairs bed was very comfortable and sheets were clean.

Lovely home!
We very much enjoyed this lovely home and would highly recommend it. We enjoyed hanging out in the sunny dining room, the screened in porch and the patio. It is probably one of the best set up vacation homes we have ever stayed in; we were there for six days and were able to cook everything we wanted to and did many of the puzzles!

Wonderful home in Lively Area
We stayed in this lovely home 3 nights. It was clean, comfortable and amazingly well-decorated. The photos we saw were beautiful but the home exceeded our expectations. Jamie, the hostess, was super communicative and helpful. We had a problem with the lamps in the upstairs bedroom and she graciously supplies us with extension cords. Come too find out, it was only a defective bulb. I had inadvertently booked 2 nights instead of 3. When Jamie called to say the cleaning lady notified her we were still there, she was gracious about extending our stay. We give this place 5+ stars, as it is a gem and so comfortable. The only thing is the kitchen could use more supplies (aluminum foil, Zioc bags) and a few more baking pans. The freezer could use an ice cube holder (plenty of trays but no holder for ice). These were very minor and did not detract from our overall stay. Loved this place and highly recommend it.
