We had a great time in a glorious property with magnificent views around us. The 5 cousins loved playing in the pool, learning pickleball, and watching frogs in the pond. The outdoor area was our go to place with baby swallows chirping above. Evenings around the fire pit and rainy day puzzles on the enormous dining room table. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our family (of 3 generations) so enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The house was spacious and offered several relaxing gathering spots, inside and out. Also, we appreciated the dining area on the covered deck so we could eat outside in the evenings. The grounds are well maintained and the lovely gardens add to the experience of staying here. Our family had fun in the pool, the tennis court, the pickleball court, and the bocce court. Oh, and there’s a basketball hoop, too! We were so happy that the house came with all the equipment we needed for those sports. Any questions we had during booking and our stay were answered very promptly. This is a fabulous property!

3 generations vacationed together in this luxury property. From the 5 grandchildren to the grandmother, we all found lots to keep active and happy. The pool and pickleball were the biggest hits. The property manager was very responsive to all our requests. I highly recommend this property for large groups and children.

This was a perfect location for our family to gather and celebrate the new year! Very clean and comfortable and so spacious. The kitchen was wonderful and perfect to cook in and the huge table was used to gather and eat and play board games on. The view with the comfortable couches and fireplace was and ideal gathering spot. Would love to go back during any season of the year, do much to offer.

We had a great family weekend. The house is very large but cozy too. We would definitely rent this amazing house again. The house, covered deck, on site hiking trails, bocce court, tennis court and game room in the red barn provided lots of fun activities for all of us.

We had a wonderful long weekend with 3 generations. The house and grounds are amazing. Lots of space. Kitchen very well equipped. Remember to bring paper goods, detergent and Tupperware. The fall colors and chilly weather added to the overall ambiance. The hosts were available and very responsive. We’ll try to be back!!!

Lisa, the host, was excellent with communication and accommodated all of my group’s needs from sending additional photos ahead of time, to allowing us to check in a bit early, and even letting me host my mini wedding ceremony in her beautiful home with our immediate family of 10. The house was breathtaking and somehow even more amazing than the photos. We didn’t have great weather for our weekend and the pool is not currently functional so we didn’t get to use the property fully but the covered porch and fire pit were hits among my family. We also loved fishing in the pond, even in the rain! I would recommend this property to any group for any occasion because it really is so versatile. It was more than enough space while still feeling warm and homey. My entire family loved their beds and linens so much that we even checked the mattress tags so we could purchase the same ones! Our only complaints were the bathrooms were not stocked with shampoo, the master and others only had body wash, we had to run out for things like that and paper towels, we noticed what seemed to be black dog hair in the sheets of the master bedroom and there were cigarette butts on the patio and previous guests smoking inside, which we happened to see on the security system camera at the front door when trying to lock up the house. Although there wasn’t a smoke odor inside the house that was noticeable. All things that were very easy to overlook!!

This Hudson Valley getaway was amazing! Hosts were super helpful and responsive to questions throughout our stay. This is the perfect place to take your friends or family for a weekend away. We loved that they had everything there for you (pool floats, gas for the grill, basketballs and tennis/pickle ball equipment). Clean and put together very nicely. Would highly recommend!

The property is so beautiful and it is a really lovely house. We enjoyed our stay quite a bit and the property owner was very communicative. The only downside was one of the bedrooms is listed as a queen but is a full.

Property was great! We had a multigenerational family vacation in this house and everyone had a great time. The kitchen well stocked. The house feels even bigger than the pictures show. Our family loved the outdoor activities (tennis, pool, bocce). We barely left the property the whole visit. Of note, the tennis court was in amazing condition (former tennis player in the family). Pickleball also a hit. Plenty of places on property in and around house to hang out. Outdoor covered deck was perfect spot to relax. Comfortable beds, beautiful master suite. Owners very responsive and welcoming. Would stay here again for sure.

My family and I were blown away by this beautiful property from the minute we pulled through the gates. It was like having our own private estate! We really enjoyed the large kitchen and big dining room tables both indoors and outdoors that allowed everybody (8 adults and 1 child) to eat together. We spent most of our time around the pool and spa, as there were plenty of chairs. We also enjoyed the tennis and pickleball court and were happy to see that a set of racquets and paddles were included! The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and clean. We also spent some time in the refinished barn near the end of the driveway playing some pool and darts, it was like being in a lounge without having to leave the property. Lisa was so welcoming and kind to us, and the check in and check out process was quick and seamless. I HIGHLY recommend this property for a wonderful getaway experience!

We had a wonderful time at this house in Ancram! My family including my parents (in their 70s) and my niece (1 years old) went for a long weekend together. The house was beautiful and spacious, and the property with all of its amenities (pool, basketball court, tennis) were fabulous. Lisa was a great host and very helpful. They had thought through every detail of what we would need for a spectacular weekend in this home. All in all, we loved this home and will be back!

This is a lovely home and a beautiful property. It is a serene oasis surrounded by trees; the air is clear and full of birdsong. Ten of us stayed here to celebrate my mother’s 90th birthday and were delighted with the accommodations. The house is extremely well set up and comfortable, with one gorgeous master off the living area upstairs and the other 4 bedrooms (3 of which have en-suite bathrooms and huge closets) downstairs. There is a beautiful wood table that seats12 – 14 comfortably, which was truly unique. A wonderful setting for a family reunion: we made memories that we will treasure.

This property has everything, and I mean everything. From an in-house installed music system where you can have music playing inside and out, ice machine, all the best appliances if you are making food, so so so much space, bathrooms in each bedroom except for what seemed like a kids room with bunkbeds, walking trails, a lake, fireplace, TV, amazingly soft beds and sheets/blankets, it was all so amazing. Communication was great with ownership, they answered all my questions within an hour while we were there, and within 24 hours leading up to the trip. Could not suggest enough. We can’t wait to come back when the pool is open, its a vacation spot all in itself!!

Management and the owners were incredibly responsive and helpful when needed. The house was beautiful, spacious, and had everything we needed for an incredible stay. The house is fantastic in the winter and we can only imagine how great it will be in the summertime with the tennis court and pool availabilty.

This beautiful property has a Log Cabin chateau sitting on a hilltop. Every day we played Bocci and enjoyed the tennis court, then cooled off in the swimming pool, the pond, or the nearby lake at the state park! For our multi generational family vacation we appreciated the perks staying on campus while babies napped! Not far away we discovered farm stands, culture, art, history, rail to trail bike paths, public golf courses, and beautiful Berkshire waterfalls hiking in the mountains. Our family (Ages range 60’s to 30’s to 10 months old) highly recommend this treasure.

Came here with family to celebrate my mom’s birthday. The house is beautiful and spacious, as are the grounds. There’s also an amazing pool/hot tub combo where we spent most of the time. Tennis and bocce courts were fun, too. Kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of towels and linens. The only downsides were some of the furniture wasn’t in the best shape. Not a huge issue at all though. Would highly recommend this place!

I rented with a group of friends for a weekend getaway and it was everything we were looking for. Great amenities (tennis court was particularly nice) and a huge, well kept lawn leading down to the pond – just a great place to spend a weekend.

My group and I booked this place for the 4th of July weekend and I must say that we were very pleased overall. The main room and open concept design was great for us, everyone had plenty of space to relax and unwind. Kitchen was stocked with dishware, plates etc so we could cook. The outdoor grill has a direct propane line so we were able to grill, which was great. Bedrooms were all clean as were the ensuite bathrooms. Pool area and hot-tub were terrific. Pool was clean and the heater also worked well. All-in all this was a great place to spend time with friends and the host was quick to answer any of my questions. Thanks again!

Me my wife, 3 kids, niece and dog stayed here for a weekend. We were looking for a place to get away from everything and do it safely. There was so much to do at the estate we never left the property. There is a pool, hot tub, tennis court, bocce court, basketball hoop, it’s own pond with a boat and plenty of hiking. The house was absolutely beautiful filled with lavish amenities. It was so big my kids played hide and seek in the house. It was very pricey, but it had a lot of bang for the buck.

The property is amazing! Plenty of space for the 12 of us. Tons of room to play indoors and outdoors. The kitchen is incredible- anyone who likes to cook will be happy with this kitchen. The sleeping quarters are more than adequate. The fireplace and windows make an unforgettable atmosphere that the families will remember forever. Thank you!
