Lovely build-out, thoughtful details all around the house. Beautiful spot! Appliances feel quite outdated though, and many dishes in the cabinets were dirty.
Beautiful home nestled in a picturesque wooded setting. Perfect for walks with the kids. Kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed grilling on the deck looking at the fall foliage. Perfect weekend for our family of all ages.
Lovely home high up in the Catskills with plenty of activity in all directions. Well supplied, with plenty of room for the family.Good eating, hikes, fishing just 15 minutes in all directions. The town of Woodstock is 20 minutes, and Saugerties not much farther.We had a great stay.
We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Elka Park. The house is tucked away in a very private and peaceful setting—perfect for a relaxing week with our two young kids. The owner, an architect, clearly poured so much love and thought into designing the space. Every detail felt intentional, warm, and welcoming.The home was spotless and exactly as described, with clear instructions that made everything seamless from start to finish. We especially loved cozying up by the fireplace and exploring the gorgeous grounds. Gabriel was very communicative and helped us with our questions.Location-wise, it's ideal—just a short drive (under 10 minutes) to several fantastic hikes, making it easy to get outdoors and enjoy the area’s natural beauty.We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!
Really great property, well stocked, beautiful home with incredible grounds. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. The kids couldn't stop saying, " This is the best vacation rental we've ever had"!

The house was so unique and beautifully done. The property is gorgeous, it feels like a true mountain retreat but with the addition of dreamy gardens. Also it’s a great kitchen- stocked with every tool you need. Thank you!
We traveled to the top of the world with our stay at the tree house! If we hadn’t checked in for the weekend for a horse show, we would have been engrossed in nature at this serene getaway. The property was impeccable. The exterior gardens were gorgeous and we saw lots of wildlife. Thank you for allowing our family to stay in your unique home for the weekend.
This is a lovely and private home in the Catskills surrounded by an impressively maintained garden in the Catskills. The house is well-situated near several hiking trails--Huckleberry Point, for example, is less than 5 minutes away by car--and it is also less than an hour to get to either Woodstock to the south or Hudson to the northeast. The owner was responsive and clearly cares deeply about the house, which he designed and built. We would definitely rent again.
Stayed here for a weekend to see the fall colors with my adult children and 16 month old granddaughter. We hiked some nearby trails (codfish point?). And visited Kingston’s Saturday morning market… very nice! Spent a lot of time enjoying the gardens and sitting around a bonfire in the evening. The house is spectacular with all the windows bringing the outdoors indoors, although noise does carry in this house so once granddaughter was up in the morning, all were up in the morning, lol!Kitchen is very well stocked for preparing meals, a good selection of spices so you don’t have to bring all of that with you. A few different outdoor seating spaces to choose from, all with comfortable seating.Adam was a great communicator, check-in was easy. And all around great experience. I would stay here again in a minute.Thank you for sharing your home with us Adam.
