Laid Back Girl’s Weekend

This was the perfect house for our girls weekend. The house was cozy, and we all had space to curl up with a good book in the living room. Downstairs had a plethora of fun board games- and the hosts were attentive and quick to respond. Would highly recommend.

Cairo House

This property was perfect. The house was exceptionally clean and inviting. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit, the hot tub and ping pong table. The property was centrally located so we were able to enjoy days in Hudson and Windham. It was a great way to ring in the New Year with family and friends.

Birthday weekend

Mile stone weekend for birthdays. We had a wonderful time in Hudson for the day. Which was an extremely hot day!! It was wonderful to come to the house sit on the deck and enjoy the pool. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook. Wonderful time. Thank you.

A Truly Cozy Getaway with Friends

This place is such a great value—beautiful, private, well thought out. Upon entering the cozy home, we were greeted with warmth and comfort. House has everything you need to make you feel at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the well-equipped kitchen. We prepared delicious meals and enjoyed our creations in the charming dining area. I recommend this house to anyone seeking a cozy getaway with friends and family.
