We had a wonderful stay at Max's place for the second time. The house is cozy and the setting is so beautiful, quiet, and peaceful- the views are especially amazing. Max is easy to contact, and responsive.
This rental was amazing. The views were breathtaking every morning and evening. My host was gracious and the communication was excellent. The perks of a piano, record/CD collection, bbq grill and hot tub made our stay the best vacation ever. No one wanted to go home. We will be renting again.
Overall the first impression was bay as expected. Bathrooms and bedrooms were clean. Rest of house needed much updating and tlc. You have to enter through the basement door and 1st impression is walking into a horror movie. When you advertise there is a large screen tv, maybe state that it is the only tv and is on a bedroom. There is not a tv or couch to relax and enjoy any downtime inform of the wood burning g stove if you wanted. So my overall impression on not very poor.
We had an amazing time at Max's place! The wraparound deck with a 360° view of the mountains was incredible, and we loved eating alfresco under the umbrella, lounging in the hammock, and sitting in the hot tub, where we did watch the stars on many a night! The house was cozy and comfortable, and the grand piano is excellent. Add the huge flat screen tv, and what more could you want from a summer rental? Max was an excellent communicator, and his housekeeper Teresa was lovely. The pictures really don't do it justice. There are so many delightful towns to explore, and plenty of restaurants nearby.My favorite thing was listening to the frogs in the pond at night.We can't wait to come back!
My husband and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving here! We took our dogs with us and they were very happy to run and play....At night we Stayed in the hot tub enjoying the peace and the beautiful stars ! Place is clean andwe had everything we need .We were very happy with our choice ïŒ
Me and my gal pals were looking for a nice place to have a small get away. It was prefect! Very rustic and so cute. It was perfect for us. The land owner was very hospitable and warm. Perfect place to get away for a while.
We had a wonderful stay at Max's property. The landscape and setting is beautiful and the house was equipped with all we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and wood stove. Thanks for a memorable stay.
House was well stocked and easy to locate. Mostly for a quick getaway as there isn't much to do elsewhere in the area, but the view from the house was great.
Overall, my group really enjoyed staying at this cabin. It was well kept and and the owner was really responsive leading up to the trip. Itâs pretty secluded so we had to drive a bit to get to hiking and we didnât get service (although the WiFi worked great). Great find!
The house was situated on a mountain top with great views all around. The deck was great for relaxing and the hot tub was a great experience after a day of exploring....would definitely recommend for those who want serenity. The host was very attentive at all times.
Really couldnât have asked for a better arrangement - the house had everything we needed for a comfortable, restful, and inspirational (thereâs a baby grand piano!!) week-plus of time away from the tight spaces of the city. I have an older dog that also really appreciated the ramp leading from grass to deck. Would definitely recommend and book again in future!
See the stars in the night sky! Beautiful setting, thoughtful host, comfortable home, bucolic bliss.
Fleeing NYCâs pandemic storm we landed at Maxâs place and felt like we were in the magical Land of Oz. Beautiful green mountains and pastures surrounded us; we could see the stars, and then we saw a dramatic double rainbow. We visited nearby farm stands and farmerâs markets and ate delicious fresh food as we dined out on the deck where we were eternally entertained by the drama of nature. The house is comfortable and cool at night with fresh mountain breezes blowing through the windows. With the large collection of compact discs, I listened to music that was new to me and rediscovered many personal favorites that I hadnât listened to in years. Max is a thoughtful host, informative and helpful and he always responded quickly to our questions and concerns. His housekeeper Teresa is kind and conscientious and offered to help if we needed anything but was never obtrusive. After a month, when our departure date arrived, we didnât want to leave bucolic bliss behind and return to urban life. We left with wonderful memories of Maxâs place and would definitely like to stay there again someday.
Location is perfect if you want to be away from everything, and I mean everything including easily obtained groceries. Better to stop about 20 miles east or west of Margaretville. Authentic Italian trattoria in Margaretville on Main Street with outside tables, and excellent lunch fare from a train car in Arkville - both about 10 miles from the house. Hopefully you have clear skies to view the Milky Way as we did from the hot tub and double hammock on the raised deck. Nice area to walk and bike on quiet roads with some hills near the house.
This was a beautiful and idyllic slice of paradise in a tranquil bucolic setting.
If you need to escape the city, to get away from it all and to unplug and recharge, this is place for you for a long weekend.
This property is unpretentious and offers exactly what is advertised. The owner is very responsive and immediately answered all my queries.
I can't thank Max enough and look forward to my next visit!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Owner was quick to respond to our last minute request to come up the day before arrival & whenever needed to ask questions. Great woodburning stove that heated up the house quickly and Jacuzzi was awesome to relax in while it was snowing! Area & views are very pretty. Would definitely return.
The Hot Tub was the main reason why I picked this particular vacation home. Beautiful view. Being a city girl all my life it was refreshing having coffee out on the deck seeing nothing but beautiful mountains and complete silence.
We love the serine and country setting and the benefit of having a hot tub every evening. The house setting was very welcoming with lots of space to play croquet. The owner very attentive.
