Host was very kind had no issues with stay.
Great property, Tomas is a superb host, perfect central location for family gathering, very much enjoyed our stay!
This large three floor house accommodated our five family members with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture and beds. There was a multitude of art everywhere you looked. Thomas was very a terrific host who took great care with our needs.
Very unique house, especially the decor. Spacious. Two wonderful patios, one with a fantastic view of the mountains. Tomas was a fantastic host, even offering to drive us around a few times. We had a nice experience talking to him over breakfast and hearing some of his old stories.
It’s a great home, and the host went above and beyond. He was so nice, welcoming, accommodating, considerate, made sure we knew everything we could in order to have the best stay, & even left a gift for my friend for their birthday (that was the reason we went). Would love to stay there again
Owner is nice,helpful and responsive Place is spacious, most of the time we stayed on 2nd floor where kitchen and comfy leather furniture is located. Can't comment on community facilities since we did not use them,but they looked good when we walked by Hope this helps
Tons of room.
The owner Thomas was very accommodating and responded in a timely manner when contacted. He even went to the store to buy us coffee and milk when he found out we didn’t have these items. Late check out was provided.
Tom Garcia is the most gracious host I've ever dealt with in the vrbo universe. He is kind, generous, welcoming and...just like the tomatoes he left for us...sweet. The house was perfect...lots of space for everyone to do their own thing. And we all collected at the end of the day to make dinner in the kitchen and on eat grill and hang in the public space. Fabulous house; great vibe. The pool and lake are great. We used both every day. Looking forward to the next time.
When we arrived at the house we were pleasantly surprised that it was exactly as pictured and very large. We are a family of 8 including 2 young grandchildren. We enjoyed the eclectic decor and Thomas was very responsive when we had questions or needed anything. The house was extremely clean as well. We also really enjoyed the multiple decks and view. The pool and beach are around a mile / short drive from the house and they were fantastic! We also took advantage of exploring some of the nice towns along the Hudson. In addition, we explored Olana which is a beautiful home and property overlooking the Hudson River built by artist Frederic Church in the 1800’s. It is now run by New York State and we were free to explore the 250 acre property- entering the house requires a pay-for tour. The only reason we are giving the house 4 stars instead of 5 is there are some things that need attention such as some plumbing and electrical issues (lights and outlets not working, one shower out of order, etc) but they didn’t hinder our experience. We were told a recent visitor/ child caused the issues but we aren’t so sure about that. Despite this we would definitely stay here again and Thomas was the perfect host.
We had a great time. House is kind of quirky and interesting. From reading the reviews I knew that there were 3 floors and that the top floor was up a spiral staircase but did not appreciate that it was open to the second floor so not as private. But the kids stayed up there and loved it. They felt like they had a tree house! There is a bathroom on every floor which is nice. My 80 year old mother stayed on the second floor so her bedroom was on the same floor as the kitchen and dining and living room which was convenient. The central air worked great and we were there during a 90+ degree heat wave. Thomas our host was so lovely. He was there when we arrived and welcomed us in and showed me how to use all of the keys and walked us through the entire house. He even opened cabinets and drawers in the kitchen so we would know where everything was kept. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking. I loved that the dining room table was set for a fancy dinner party, but that the plates that were set out were still dishwasher friendly. We used the pool and lake in the development. All of the decks and balcony spaces were great and the kids loved the room with the pool table. There is so much interesting art work to look at and I loved the stained glass on the top floor. Lots of great little nooks for reading and chilling.
We had a wonderful time staying at Mr. Garcia's house. It is a lovely house with great balconies and central air conditioning. The pool and lakefront with beach and swimming area are well maintained. There is a dog beach as well, which was great for our dog to swim at. It’s a 4-5 min drive and it’s not walkable for kids or if you’re towing a lot of gear and picnic. We knew that going in but it’s helpful to know. Probably a great easy bike ride. There is a large assortment of board games for people to play as well. Very considerate hosts. Kitchen has more equipment and tools than anywhere I’ve stayed in a while. Fantastic flatware and dinnerware too. Very clean. Central air works well. We were very comfortable. We had a great time and we would go back.
As others reviews mention, the decor is really standout here. Maximalist all the way! Yet surprisingly child friendly if you’re kids aren’t super rambunctious or early walkers. My daughters are 6 months and 4 years old. The baby wasn’t mobile enough to do any damage and the 4yo is way past the stage of pulling on furniture or putting things in her mouth. We just had to be very vigilant on the spiral staircase to third floor (even adults need to mind their steps there.) The pool and lakefront with beach and swimming area are well maintained. It’s a 4-5 min drive and it’s not walkable for kids or if you’re towing a lot of gear and picnic. We knew that going in but it’s helpful to know. Probably a great easy bike ride. Very considerate hosts. Kitchen has more equipment and tools than anywhere I’ve stayed in a while. Fantastic flatware and dinnerware too. Very clean. A few patio and shower doors need attention but everything is in good condition. Central air works well. We were very comfortable. A memorable stay for sure; I certainly recommend!
Our second year renting this nice and very spacious home with lots of character. Beautiful Catskill Mountain View’s. Our host Thomas, as always, very nice and super attentive. Looking forward to next year!
I saw Thomas house on line. Great big over the top wonderful place perfect for our family. We were met by Thomas a gracious gentleman who worked at the Plaza Hotel , Palm Room for 50 years. Thomas treated us as valued clients and regaled us with stories of his time at the Plaza and the people he met while waiting there. A great experence.
Highly recommend renting this property! Went with a few friends Memorial Day weekend and it was clean, spacious, and a quick drive into Hudson’s main strip of stores, shops, and events. Enjoyed the lakeside pool a quick 5min drive from the property. Was very clean, safe, and the owner was incredibly helpful and attentive! 10/10 would come back soon!
5 men gather twice a year to bike the rail trails all over the east coast. This location was great for access to multiple trails. Great lakeside community Very private. Access to great food in Hudson. Plenty of rooms, comfortable beds and more than enough bathrooms. House very eclectic and interesting.
