Hudson Riverfront 1830 Farmhouse Cottage W/ Beach, Canoe & Kayaks

This is a wonderful place to stay. My only issue with giving a comment and rating is that I want it to always be available when I want to book it again. Also, the the host is great. Very responsive to any questions.

The location is great. The host promptly had the driveway plowed after 6 inches of snow to make access to and from the house easy.

The stay was great.Really, a nice place.

Check-in was good. The energy of the house was very cold and uncomfortable to me personally. It wasn’t cozy. The furniture was very small and uncomfortable, except for the main bedroom that bed was extremely comfortable. But there was nothing cozy or welcoming about the home. And it also had some energy going on if you know what I mean. Chairs were moving and scraping along the floor, the microwave kept opening. Lots of other little things kept happening. Let’s just say it was quite active. I thought the town was going to be different. Main Street was basically completely shut down. It was a very depressing location. I actually left a day early.

The house is gorgeous! Nice quiet area. Amazing swimming spot and the kayaking was alot of fun. Our family would stay here again.

The stay was nice and Monica was quick to communicate when we had issues, but the house is rustic and runs into older house issues. Just be aware when thinking about what kind of stay you’re looking for.

We did enjoy our stay but there were a quite a few disappointing things. I had asked if the canoe was down by the river and was told yes. When we got there the canoe was in the garage which is in shambles. Everything in there was very messy. We did not even bother to pull it out and haul it all the way to the river. Did not even want to try because getting to it in the garage was going to be a challenge. Very disappointed in that. The kitchen was ok. The cabinets were a mess. Stuff just thrown in and no organization. This is not fully equipped. I had to boil pasta in a lobster pot. The outdoor furniture was filthy. We would need to scrub stuff down in order to use it. The main gathering area where the tv is, is in the sunroom. This space has limited seating and has a very small tv. I'm glad there were only 3 of us. This room could be so much better with more furniture & a larger tv. Would not rent again, unfortunately.

We reserved this property for an anniversary getaway. It was exactly what we were hoping for: charming, well-equipped, close to everything that we needed but far enough away to be away to be quiet. We would absolutely stay here again if ever in the area.

I was a bit hesitant based on other reviews of this property, particularly regarding the owner, but went ahead and booked it. The home and property are absolutely beautiful. I would recommend the home 100%. However, per some of the other reviews and from our experience the owner is confrontational, slow to respond and defensive. I was unable to open the check in instructions. We tried on my phone and my husbands theough tbe app and web browser. The file was faulty when attempting to download. I reached out to the owner who took a few hours to respond. We should have been able to check in at 4. She did not respond with written instructions via message until 6:30. And i had reached out to her arouns 2 hours prior to check in. We were able to check in around 4:30 after i went on a laptop and took photos of the instructions with my phone. Upon arrival the lock was already set to be opened and the side door was unlocked. We did make sure the house was clear which it was. But not a great feeling to check into a home you're not familiar with that's been unlocked for who knows how long. Owner aside the property really was fantastic.

Our recent VRBO stay was a mixed experience. Upon arrival, we found the owners still at the property, which led to an awkward and rushed departure on their part. Unfortunately, there was some miscommunication about the booking, which delayed our check-in and made us late for an event. While the home itself was comfortable, it didn't feel as welcoming as other stays we’ve experienced, and the cleanliness could have been improved. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not as seamless as we had hoped.
