This place was a gem with a 360 degrees panoramic view of mountains. I loved this place it was clean and spacious. Max was a wonderful host and was extremely easy to communicate with. It has a huge Hot tub which we enjoyed in night and day time. The best part for the grand Piano my husband loves to play piano, he was extremely excited, and we had our one of the best staycations. house had all the necessary amenities and equipment's. Max has amazing music collection, CD player, any music and nature lover must stay here, I highly recommend it.
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.
We had an awesome stay at Max's place. We went upstate for the perseid meteor showers and it was one of the best showers I have ever seen. It is so dark at night there that we saw over 70 meteors during our stay. I am also a bird watcher and saw my first eastern bluebird in the wild. We also saw goldfinches, catbirds, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, etc. There were deer and rabbits on the property every day and at night you could hear the bullfrogs croaking in the pond. It was exactly what we needed. The air and water there are so pure you feel the difference in your body. Hey Max, if you ever sell this place, let me know! I love it!
This is our second time staying at Max's place - we were there last summer and just had to return. What an amazing location, with a beautiful 360 degree view of the mountains! We loved the hot tub, the wrap around deck and hammock, and the excellent piano. (Max also has an amazing music collection.) The master bedroom is so comfy, with a settee, huge TV complete with DVR, DVD player, everything you could want. Both bedrooms have excellent large beds with firm mattresses. We each had our own bathroom, and the shower is excellent. We picked wild raspberries every morning on the property and listened to the frogs in the pond singing at night. We had an even better time the second time around! It felt like our own special home away from home. Thanks to Max and Teresa for a great time.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
