We had a great time spending Christmas with our family at this vacation house. The home is just as it is depicted in the photos and is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and snacks from our generous hosts. The home is nicely decorated, with plenty of room upstairs with a large comfortable living room with a pellet stove and 75 inch SmartTV. The kitchen isn’t huge, but it is well stocked and there are two dining areas. Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The downstairs playroom includes a pool table, shuffleboard, bar area with movie style popcorn maker, ice maker and three TV’s. The large couch in front of the 75” SmartTV was large enough for everyone. There is another bedroom and full bathroom and laundry on this level. It is chilly downstairs compared to upstairs, so bring sweaters and slippers if spending time down there in the winter. We did not use the patio and firepit, but they were also very nice. There is not much to do in the winter in Athens, but the towns of Catskill and Hudson were interesting to visit. There is also a nice riverfront park just up the road in Coxackie. We reached out to the hosts a couple of times before and during our trip and they were always responsive and helpful. We are very happy we selected this property for our holiday Vacation!
