Just what we needed
We needed a place for my husband and I close to Hamilton and Astrid delivered. The apartment had all the amenities and was very comfortable! The location was perfect, parking was great and we look forward to staying there again in the future.

A real gem
We loved this apartment, which (with its birch floors, skylights, and window views of the woods) had a Nordic feel. Super clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. An easy, minutes-only drive into town. A wonderful host (Astrid). Perfect for Colgate parents and other visitors to the area. So glad we stayed here.

Great stay
Great stay and close location to Colgate. Clean and everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again
The room was immaculate! The room is over the home's garage, but skylights make the space well lit. Comfortable, easy to find, woods all around- I would stay there again, for sure.

Perfect apt
We booked this VRBO for the drop off of our son at Colgate University. The location is perfect, the space is immaculate and the bed is very comfortable. Highly recommend!
Its a great house about a 10 minute drive to the Colgate Campus and restaurants and cafe. The house is well equipped with everything you may need and more. The host checked in on us via msgs to make sure we were comfortable. Loved the place. Highly recommend.
The instructions provided were clear and simple, which was much appreciated, since finding the driveway at night would have otherwise been impossible. Unique, pleasant, and comfortable accommodations.
My daughter was playing some hockey on the Colgate campus. This spot is perfect for a weekend in Hamilton. Besides the hockey we had a nice hike, saw live music, and experienced the Hamilton Film festival. We cooked a few meals in the apartment and slept well in the quiet of the woodsy setting. Stairs could be a challenge for elderly and shower is a tight fit for the big and tall. Our stay was excellent and would book again.
A very beautiful setting, very quiet, clean, comfortable. We had a fantastic night sleep. The area is gorgeous as well. The host was wonderful. We can't say enough of good things about it. We will be abcK!

Close to colgate
This one bedroom apartment is over the garage of a single family home. It has a separate entrance. Very clean with a bedroom and a comfortable futon in the living room. Perfect for our two nights while dropping our son off at Colgate.
1.5 miles to Colgate. Owner was very pleasant and communicative. Not intrusive.
I’d like to stay here again.
