We really enjoyed our time. The house had everything we needed and the backyard area was very fun. Would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to get away from the city and enjoy a pool and hot tub.
Our group of 9 had a wonderful stay in the Modern Farmhouse. The kitchen is well stocked (although we struggled to get the oven to stay on - not sure what we were doing since it was electric). Bedrooms are comfortable and mattresses are great. Basement is unfinished, but okay for playing ping pong. There are quite a few private roads in the Catskills and they are plowed by contracted individuals. Unfortunately, we all drive hybrids that do not have all wheel drive, and this causes us headaches when we go skiing. Modern farmhouse host was wonderful and responded to our concerns quickly. We were able to enjoy the house and spend time hiking, skiing and in Woodstock. Would definitely go back!
The beds were all comfy and awesome that theyâre king sized, so it can accommodate a larger group. The house is super close to Woodstock but also just down the street from Bearsville restaurants. You do have privacy though a new house is being built next door, so we heard that noise during the day, which wasnât terrible honestly. If you have little ones they would need to wear shoes on the deck. And the igniter on the grill wasnât working, but would start up with matches or a lighter. Overall, it was just what we were looking for.
A can't-be-beat location, just a stones throw from Woodstock, on a private drive that feels charmingly secluded. The beds are extremely comfortable, with soft linens. Hava was easy to communicate with, super-responsive, and checked in on us throughout our stay.
This cute house is a 10-minute drive from Woodstock, close enough to a town with shopping and good restaurants but far enough away that it feels private.
The house was clean and had everything we needed, including a hot tub and ping pong table! Sitting in the hot tub while it lightly snowed was magical! The tv gave us some problems but we we were able to log in with our own Netflix account. Wifi signal was strong.
House had a great open floor plan that allowed everyone to be together without actually being in same room- kids were able to watch TV while adults were in kitchen or LR and got to talk. The bedrooms were spacious and the play room in basement was nice added feature. The big deck in the back and table were great and we spent a lot of time out there . The grill worked great and we used it frequently. The yard was spacious and kids were able to play many games and enjoyed the swing and hammock. The owner was very easy to get in touch with and very accommodating and responsive as was her caretaker too.
The negative for our group was the temperature of the pool- It might of been my fault for not checking about a heated pool- but the temperature of the beautiful pool was 58 degrees. We had 5 children ranging from 6-0 and ALL they wanted to do was play in the pool and it was simply was too Cold for them. Unfortunately our plans for the weekend was just to hang on deck and cook and have kids play in pool for 6- 8 hrs a day. If you don't have young kids this house is perfect!! But if your expecting a weekend in the pool- this inst the house or until they get a working heater.
Great house for several couples- we love to come back without the kids LOL
We spent the weekend hoping to get out and hike but with rainy weather we didnât get the chance. Luckily the house was perfect for us to cook and hang out inside and play games. Hava was quick to reply to questions! Iâd recommend this house to anyone thinking of hiking or visiting the Catskills area.
The house was very clean. Linens and towels were clean and nicely arranged in each of the bedrooms.
The house was beautiful, clean well maintained and well equipped. We had a great time! We also enjoyed our time in the near town of Woodstock and hiking in the area.
Hava is very nice and responsive.
We would definitely come again.

A pleasant stay
We loved staying at this house. Was a fantastic getaway from the bustling New York City.
Decour was modern and eclectic, very tasteful, which is important for us. The rooms were spacious and inviting, from the comfort of the beds to the fluffy sheets, which were clean and fresh. The kitchen was very well-equipped.
The kids loved hanging out in the pool, and hiking in the area is also lovely. Overall was very comfortable and relaxing stay. I highly recommend this house.

We had a super relaxing weekend at Hava's home.
We are a family of five and Hava's House couldn't have been more perfect.
From the spacious open floor plan living room and kitchen to the light filled bedrooms with it's comfy beds. The kids had a blast playing in the backyard and we all enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking. Communication with Hava was prompt and super friendly. Removed from the bustle of Woodstock but close enough to get your organic groceries at the market five minutes away. We would definitely come back and are thinking to look into the summer as they also have a pool! Thank you Hava.
Modern may not be the right adjective, perhaps eclectic is more appropriate. Plenty of room for our party of 8 adults and a baby. Large above ground pool looks nice, but way too cold to use, even in early July. Easy access to Bearsville and Woodstock. Hava was responsive immediately when questions arose.
Fantastic property with great indoor and outdoor space in beautiful location
Perfect property for a quiet getaway in a fantastic little town with enough to keep you busy without jeopardising the sense of escaping a busy city. Easily accommodated our group of 7 adults, 2 children and 2 babies and had great outdoor space, pool, jacuzzi, dining area and BBQ - even had plenty of green space for the kids to throw a football around! The house was everything we were hoping for and more, and Hava was very helpful and accommodating.
Our family had a most fantastic time at Hava's place! Hava was attentive to all our needs and the house was clean, very well stocked with most comfortable beds and linen. We recommend this tranquil house and great pool for anyone looking for peace and quiet and time to recharge! Thank you so much Hava!

I stayed at this property with my family of five adults and three grandsons ages 11, 8 and 5.
The house was perfect in every way. Hava, the owner, was great to deal with and available by email throughout our stay if we had any questions.
Upon arrival the house was very clean and modern with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. There is a great big backyard (in the woods!) with a 30 foot pool and hot tub. There is a big table and chairs out on the deck, along with a gas grille.
The kitchen and 2 1/2 bathrooms are updated and everything you would need is there for you. The bedrooms (3 KINGS and 2 Twins) had beautiful linens and all beds were very comfortable. It's rare you find a rental with 3 KINGS! The towels in the bathrooms were plentiful and new.
There is a great dining table off the kitchen that seats 10 as well as a counter with stools.
Just bring your clothes and food and you are all set.
The house is a short drive from the town of Woodstock with wonderful shops, activities and restaurants. In Bearsville you will find a few good restaurants as well as the Bearsville Theatre. There is music and art all around you during your stay.
For rainy days, there is a finished basement for kids play or yoga and an adjacent ping pong table.
If you are looking for a clean, modern home in a very quiet and peaceful location, but minutes to town, this is it! If you are lucky you might see a bear. We did!! (from a safe distance!!)
We have rented from Home Away several times and this was our best spot yet. We would definitely come again.
Thank you Hava for sharing your wonderful retreat with my family.
Last weekend my family (3 adults and 3 children) and another family (2 adults and 2 kids) rented this house and had a wonderful time. It fit all of us comfortably. The house has a large kitchen and 2 different sitting area's so everyone was able to spread out. Plus not to forget the playroom in the basement for the kids to play in. A town with great shops and restaurants is under 10 miles away. We have already started to look at dates to rent this house again in the summer so we can enjoy the pool and stay longer then just 3 nights.
Hava's place is gorgeous and peaceful. It is situated up on a little hill and it is so quiet and pretty. The living area and launch area are specious and open and connect you straight to the huge back yard. The hot tub works great and we really enjoyed cooking on the grill and having lunch outside. We highly recommend the house and the Woodstock area!
The house is new, specious and super clean. We enjoyed cooking, grilling and just spend time together. The layout is open and the area is quite and peaceful. Hava was easy to communicate with and she did a great job designing the interior of the house. Thank you, we had such a great time!
