I gave the property an overall 5, because everything that was stated on the site along with the pictures was true. The property was clean, the beds were comfortable, and overall the house was warm and cozy. However, there were some small issues we found. First, there was a lack of comfortable furniture (one couch, and two uncomfortable chairs) in the living room. Second, only one bedroom had curtains. So if you are not an early riser, you will be frustrated with the early sunlight. Other than those issues, we enjoyed our stay and look forward to renting the property again in the future.
We had an excellent stay here. The house is exactly as pictured, spacious enough for a group of friends or large family, but also perfect for a couple. The views from the living room were our favorite part, it was great to put on a fire and relax overlooking Mohonk. Lots of thoughtful details were appreciated like coffee and wine at check-in. Great location too with Stone Ridge just down the road and plenty of hiking all around. My only suggestion would be better fitting curtains in the master bedroom.
