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!

Fantastic House

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.

Decompress Vacation

This is the second time I've stayed at this location. It is quiet and offers you the feeling of being secluded but yet you are surrounded by activity close buy. I love this house and, of course, Jamie for giving us the opportunity to stay again.

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.

Sweet

Lovely home, just perfect for our stay. We attended a high school graduation in the area and the house was close to everything. Beautiful landscaped grounds that would have been wonderful for outdoor activities had the weather cooperated. We are returning to the same home in five weeks to attend a wedding. It had all the things that made it a comfortable, cozy home. Looking forward to the next time!

Great home in a central location

This is a great home, cozy and clean with a beautiful backyard and deck. Use the grill to cook up a delicious summer meal! We enjoyed being in between Albany and Troy. This house has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the owners have thought of everything you might need - from cleaning supplies to kitchen ware and cooking basics. We will happily return in the future.
