We had a wonderful Fall weekend. The views from the property were amazing! We enjoyed walking around the property. Everything we needed was provided for our stay- towels, bedding, kitchen necessities, and even bottled water and snacks. The livingroom furniture and beds were comfy. Easy Check-in and out. Highly recommend!
This was such a lovely property. Beautiful grounds and very clean.We enjoyed our weekend stay while we participated in the Mammoth March at Harriman State Park. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit the area
Iâll be honestâŠI didnât have great expectations before arriving. We arrived after dark, the house felt a little stuffy. Woke up the next morning to the most beautiful view! Breeze blew away the âstuffinessâ, deer showed upâŠturtlesâŠ.blue heron. It was a real beautiful scene. Quiet. Everything we might possibly need was provided. The property is outstanding and the host is a very attentive person. He went above and beyond to accommodate an extra night for us. Highly recommend!
A beautiful home on a peaceful property. It had everything we needed and provided a comfy home away from home while visiting our cadet at West Point. Grateful for the kindness of the property owner. Would absolutely stay again.
We had a wonderful stay here. Loved sitting outside with our morning coffee watching the turtles and sitting at night watching the firefly night show! Very clean and comfortable home and a beautiful property.
We brought our son up from Oklahoma to West Point for SLE. We stayed for 8 days. This property wasnât far from there and was perfect for what we needed. We our farmers in Oklahoma and live in the middle of nowhere so we value our privacy. Other than being able to hear the traffic, we could not see them which was just fine with us. There were plenty of cooking utensils, cookware, and dishes for the week. The only hiccup I would give this property is that it was hard to see to pull out when turning left out of the property due to the bush. We learned how to work around it which is why that was only a hiccup and not an issue. The pitch and view was the absolute best part of the property. My 84 year old dad was sitting outside every morning watching the wildlife and hoping to see a bear! If my son gets accepted next year into West Point, we will definitely be back!!
The property was beautiful. Even though it rained we were so happy to look out the large windows and see the wildlife!The house was clean and everything we needed was there (including menus for ordering in food).
We loved being close to nature. The mountain and pond views from the kitchen and dining room were lovely. John was super helpful and attentive to our needs. The kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed.
Pleasant place to stay and even look out the window
The property has a sunroom off the kitchen that overlooks the pond and flowing stream. We ate our meals there as we looked at ducks landing on the pond, a wild turkey walking by and a young Fox that played around the pond for over an hour.We came to see my sister-in-law and brought her back to the house to enjoy the view and pleasant surroundings.We were thrilled with the experience. I even videoed the Fox and sent it to the owner.
Very convenient location with a beautiful view of a small pond and stream. Very comfortable accommodations - great beds and sitting areas. Enjoyed the extra snacks and water upon arrival. My kids enjoyed exploring outside. Very good and easy conversations with the owner. Thank you!
Quaint, very comfortable home in a beautiful setting on a pond with wildlife. Was perfect for my family of five home was well stocked and really enjoyed making sâmores on the fire pit only negative was there were numerous ladybugs in the home. Not sure if it was due to time of year or window AC units not being sealed to window completely. We plan to return again next year
We were in town for a family wedding, and my boys stayed 2 nights with us. Overall the property is lovely, the space generous and the ameneties exceeded my expectations. The reason for not giving a '5 star' all around is this: 1. lots of traffic noise; I didn't realize how close the house is to Route 202 and 2. Once my boys arrived and we attempted to use the upstairs and downstairs showers concurrently, we (quickly) found out this was not possible; the upstairs shower turned off once the downstairs one was turned on. A bit of an issue for us.
We enjoyed waking up to the deer and "Billy" the Heron in the mornings who had come to visit the pond daily. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our family to enjoy some time together while being close enough to visit West Point.
The views from the sunroom and back patio were beautiful. Nice patio with plenty of chairs to sit and enjoy the outdoors. House was very clean and furnished with very comfortable furniture. All the basic necessities were there. We loved the sunroom also. Kitchen was spotless and we enjoyed making our meals there. There were 5 of us gathered and we hiked during the day and played board games at night. The owner was easy to reach . Not a fancy place if youâre looking for that but kind of like visiting your Grandmas house- very welcoming. Would definitely recommend!
A group of us came from different directions to meet up here and hike in the park. The house was very clean, comfortable and even had waters and snacks left for us.us.us.some amenities like waters and snacks left.
Beautiful stay - we were able to be with family and enjoy the place - home cooked meals, smores on the patio, watching beavers, deer and black bears (!!) from the breakfast table. Just what the dr ordered!
Hello, I am the forth generation of my family to live in this area. I am an avid hiker, naturalist, wildlife enthusiast, and truly enjoy all the things outdoors.
This property is part of my family's original farm purchased in the late 1800's. My parents built the house their selves in the 1950s (hence the name Cynthia's place). It is an absolute gem of a location and I want to share it with others who also appreciate nature and wildlife.
The secluded location has fantastic views of the mountain and pond in the back yard on the 25 acre estate. Everyday provides for something new to see: the blue heron fishing at the pond, hawks circling over head, turkeys traveling through the back yard, deer at dusk or dawn, or just the clouds floating over the mountain.
