I stayed at the farm with my gf and her 9 yr old son who didn't want to leave the property whatsoever bc he enjoyed looking at, feeding, or playing with. The dogs there are very friendly and have a heavenly life of running around here and there. There was a volunteer there from Germany, Jan, who made the stay truly worthwhile. He was very kind to the kiddo, had him help gathering eggs, feeding chickens, and building a campfire. He was took care of quite a lot there. I wish everyone were as hardworking and genuine as him.
Can't wait to go back. Super fun meeting all the animals that are obviously loved and taken care for so much they are friendly to everyone. My dogs loved it too. Only suggestion for future guests is to bring your own way to play music & DVDs for we couldn't find the remotes/plugs for them. But didn't matter we had the sound of roosters & chickens to entertain us instead.
The un-cleanliness of Mr.Ed's cabin was the beyond acceptability. There were pee stains on the toilet, dirty wet towels still hanging in the bathroom with no new clean ones. The microwave interior had not been cleaned. The bed was made but did not appear to have had clean sheets, and this really disgusted us. The heater was not working, although the proprietor did find another old & dirty space heater to put in the cabin. At this point we decided we could not stay, and re-packed out belongings into the car after a full day of traveling. We stopped at the owners house on our way out and requested a refund which the woman agreed to do by applying a credit to my credit card which she never did. I have now had to contest the charge with my credit card company. I've spent many nights in B&B's and homes using Homeaway throughout the past 10-15 years and have never come across anything like this. I saw a previous review about this place complaining about the cleanliness but since it is was just one I bad review, I didn't take it seriously, but obviously now wish I had. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place.
Well, I only met my host briefly as they know you want to just breath the fresh air and the peace and quiet, in fact, when I pulled up and said I have to pay you the rest for the stay Tim said... don't worry about the money now, get settled in... When I left, I left the balance on the table, guess he saw in my eyes I'm a regular down to earth guy. They have a policy of no dogs on the bed, my dogs are spoiled but I brought some large sheets that I threw on the bed and shook them out in the yard each morning as not to have hair. There was pots and pans, silverware, glasses, etc., a coffee machine (thank god) plus some condiments. I brought my own food pre-cooked so all I needed to do was heat it up. The only BAD thing I could say is (1) front door needs a screen door, would have been nice to keep it open, get the air in without letting the bugs in or one of those screens on a pressure rod; (2) I didn't see a broom, if there was one I would have swept as my dogs track dirt in, I took off my shoes but does no good when in socks and dogs are dragging in dirt, a small broom and cheap spong mop and I would have been glad to clean up; and (3) the toaster over needs to be replaced, works but SLOW LOL, but then again, I was in no rush LOL, stupid complaints right.. I brought some bug candles and had them lite outside by the door at night just to keep them away... hey... its the woods, bugs are part of that experience, can't complaint about that, its nature... but a screen of some sort (seasonal) on the front door would have been really nice. The yard(s) are fenced in so my dogs were safe if I let them out, He ask that you keep the front yard clean as I certainly complied, except dum dum me, I left my bag of garbage in the cabin and forgot to take it out when I left and put it in the appropriate cans sorry guys. In all, I give it a 9.5 out of a 10.
We had a great 5 day vacation. Mr. Ed's cabin is a comfortable, clean studio with many quaint decorative touches. It has a porch and small fenced in yard. The farm has chickens, bunnies, horses and a goat and is quite near to Mohonk and Minnewaska State Park. We hope to return soon!
We needed a place to stay in the area of the Gunks, as my husband was doing some rock climbing all day on the Saturday. Me and our 2 dogs were just along for the ride. I'm not sure what I expected. We were only there for 2 nites, so even tho I didn't really like the place, I survived. Mr Ed's cabin is a small one room cabin. And we were fine with that. We've stayed at many rented places over the years. It doesn't have to be big. Even the set-up inside was fine. My problem laid mostly in the fact that the place wasn't clean. It felt like no one had stayed there for quite a while or even looked in on the place. There were dead bugs and cobwebs in a few places. That doesn't say to me that it's been cleaned recently. Sure someone came in and made the bed. Altho, I can't even say for sure if the sheets were changed between guests. Most times, freshly changed sheets smell fresh. These did not. So either they were not changed at all or they were changed a long time ago and lost the fresh smell. There were a few live ants on the kitchen counter and one in the bed as well. While yes this place is on a farm and there's bound to be a few bugs from time to time. It's the cobwebs, live ants and dead bugs laying on the floor and a big mosquito dead in a cobweb that was a turn-off. The whole place could use some sprucing up outside as well. Also the tv didn't work. Yes there was one, but it wasn't hooked up and was missing a power cord. We asked for a cord and were eventually brought one, but there was no way this cord would've worked for the tv. Anyone could've looked at it and known that. Well almost anyone. Since I was at the house/cabin all day on Saturday, without a vehicle, it would have been nice to relax and watch a little bit of tv. But again, only there for 2 nites, not that big a deal. It seems to me that if hospitality is your business and you're renting out places, that you'd make sure they were clean. Use a vacuum cleaner, clean up the cobwebs and dead bugs. I'm not a prude, I live in the country and deal with this kind of thing all the time. I just don't enjoy dead bugs or live ants in my house. That was my main problem with Mr Ed's Cabin. And such an easy thing to take care of. If you don't mind that kind of thing, then by all means, stay there.
Friendly hosts, nice property. Fire pit and hot tub are a must! Watch out for enthusiastic goat
With chickens and horses and a goat and a hot tub and a river and plenty of grass to run on, our family, and especially our young daughter, always has an excellent time.
Tim and Beth’s Farm Retreat was a fantastic experience! 10 minutes after getting settled into the cabin there was a little scratch at the door. I opened it to find Claire, a big beautiful Golden Retreiver, she came to welcome us. All of the farm animals were lovely. I was especially partial to the lovely Goat named Kukla who quietly followed us around and loved having her neck rubbed between the horns. The cabin itself was beautiful with full kitchen and great old west motif. Especially liked the wagon wheel shower, moose silhouette lamp shades and horse curtains. Tim was incredibly friendly, laced back and welcoming in every way possible. He immediately made you feel like an old friend. He told us some of the intriguing history of the land that he got in 1984 and what it was and what he has created. I met Tessa who was feeding the animals on the last day of our stay and got all the information about upcoming projects, the other rooms they have to rent and some more description of what the land I’d like in the summer (we will be returning in July). These people are incredibly open and genuine. I loved our stay at the farm and can’t wait to go back.
Great hosts, beautiful property and accomodations, perfect weekend getaway. Thank you so much Tim for the hospitality and making us feel right at home! We can't wait to return this summer.
