We very much enjoyed staying in this lovely home, which felt spacious for our family of four and our pets. As we were social-distancing this year we appreciated quiet location and the peaceful feel of the property. Gisele was a gracious, helpful and unobtrusive hostess, so we very much felt that we had the property to ourselves. Our boys (age 7) enjoyed their stay enormously, happily spending countless hours in, on and around the pond, discovering frogs, toads, newts and all manner of other creatures as well as taking the kayak and floats for a spin. They quickly discovered plenty of other fun too, from the fire pit to the chess table and movies. The home is nicely laid out, comfortable and well equipped, so it was perfect not just as our base to explore the Catskills but also for the days we chose to just chill out. We very much enjoyed the outdoor spaces and being close to nature, such as seeing the hummingbirds visit as we sat on the deck. It was also nice that we could prepare and serve meals inside or out. Inside, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the open plan helped us stay connected while the kids played. Outside there’s plenty of grills, deck and patio space, perfect for breaking the daily routine with a pancake breakfast at the picnic tables.
