My stay at Ashley’s beautiful home was perfect for my family and myself.
The quaint area where the house is located boasts a beautiful outdoor picnic table, a nice hammock and a plentiful backyard area.
Ashley was gracious an ambitious to help provide an enjoyable stay for my fellow guests and I.
I would definitely recommend this rental.
What a beautiful place to stay in this area of NY. Quite and peaceful. Everything was just as you see in the photos, even better. Quite frankly it felt like home. Rita and I wish we could have stayed longer. We will certainly rent again next year if it's available.
What a wonderful place tucked away from the rat race of society. Loved our mornings drinking coffee on the porch watching the deer nibble on grass. Had the pleasure of seeing a fox skip through the woods as well! Home was fully stocked with comforts of home and probably had two of the best nights of sleep we have had in years! Quiet…peaceful and comfortable! We will recommend and we will be back!
Nestled in the unsurpassed beauty of the Mohawk Valley/Finger Lakes region, our family found Ashley to be the consummate vrbo host, accurate and promptly responsive. Her property is scrupulously maintained to the highest standard and is as comfortable warm and inviting as if we were in our own home.
This property is precious, comfy, welcoming, convenient, remote, safe, and the perfect quiet “get away from the world” vibe. Every detail makes this home special with antiques and casual yet classy style. The grounds are gorgeous. You feel relaxation setting in as soon as you drive up the gravel hill driveway and approach the welcoming entrance. I want to stay here every time we visit our daughter at SUNY Covleskill!
The house is great! The house is off the main roads but still easy to get to everything! It had rained a lot and even snowed so ground was super wet, so unfortunately I didn’t get to see much of the spacious property! Check in was easy- communication with owner was great, and the beds were comfy! There are lots of movies, books, and games to keep you busy if staying in! Fully stocked kitchen was super useful! Thank you Ashley!
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was lovely, spacious, and had everything we needed. We had some nice weather so the hammock and the rocking chairs on the covered front porch were favorite spots to hang out. Host was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely go back!

Love this cosy home. Loved the fire pit, swings, all the beautiful antiques and seeing the deer each morning. It was perfect vacation spot. We will be back next year.
