    Absolute perfection! Not a single thing would change. This is a spectacular house. The beautiful pictures don’t even do it justice. Communication and recommendations from owner and manager were also spot on. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

    One of a kind house and property with a spectacular view of the Hudson River. Plenty of fine dining located near by.

    There is no more spectacular location or facility anywhere in the Highland or Hyde Park area. We lived like royalty and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. There are some adaptations required to use the facility, such as the semi complicated home theater system however with a little luck and persistence, all will work out perfectly. We would also recommend new outdoor furniture on the large deck as the existing items are well worn and actually a little abrasive when used. There are also some areas that need repair to the deck and exterior finishes. Beyond those, we have absolutely nothing but praise for this property.

    Stayed here for a 40th birthday weekend with friends. Felt like a dream. The whole house has such charming decoration and personality. Plus, the photos cannot capture the views from that deck, they are truly stunning. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was incredibly stocked, the hot tub was a delight and the ping pong/air hockey were a lovely surprise. For safety, maybe wouldn't come here with a super young kid (like under 3-4) as the pool is un-gated and the area in the front of the house has a drop off, but I imagine anyone else would enjoy staying here immensely. Our group of adults certainly did. Truly we had no complaints! Thanks for letting us appreciate your beautiful house Bud!

    This magnificent property exceeded our expectations, and served as the perfect setting for our family reunion. In addition, the location was central to local hikes, the Mohonk preserve, and exquisite dining at the Wildflowers resort among other places. We expect to make our family gathering at The Fels an annual event.

    We had a truly wonderful and memorable stay here for five nights in October 2024. The house is stunning and we all agreed that it's even better in real life than in the photos. The area is beautiful and although we had a long list of things to do in the local area, several days we decided to just stay in the house instead - using the hot tub, cinema room, games room and pool. Bud was a fantastic host and was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. We would love to come back one day.

    Loved every minute of our stay. Clean, lots of natural sunlight, beautiful views, kids loved the game room - wouldn’t change a thing! We’ll definitely be going back.

    We had an absolutely wonderful time at The Fels. The Fels is a stunning property perched on a dramatic curve above the Hudson River. The house is spacious, sun-lite, and well designed for both group activities and privacy. And with a media room, game room, hot tub, seasonal swimming pool, tennis court, and great river overlook decks with a fire pit, you can be as active (or just chill) as you want. We spent 8 nights including Christmas, gathering around the fireplace in the great room after sunset cocktails on the deck, and dinner at the large oval table looking out over the river. The kitchen is smallish but well appointed. The house is 10 minutes (or less) from both New Paulz and Poughkeepsie, and just 15 minutes to Kingston for restaurants and shopping. And the owner is helpful and responsive if needed, so we could simply relax and enjoy our special holiday visit.
