  • "The home was beautiful and as described! Very close to Mount Catamount for skiing and tubing with nearby stores and restaurants. Plenty of room for all your guests to stay without feeling crowded with wonderful communal space to hang out together. And the kitchen was spacious with a large kitchen table to all eat together. Another wonderful bonus was how responsive the owners were with us. They accommodated an early check-in and were quick to respond to any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again!"

  • "We held our post-pandemic-elopement party and (re)commitment ceremony at Lauren and Russel's place, and couldn't have picked a better spot. The house was comfortable, lived-in, and well-appointed -- it felt like a home and set a warm and welcoming tone for our event. The hosts were flexible and reasonable, with clear and sensible guidelines on how to use their space. When the inevitable little issues or questions arose, they were quick to reply and willing to help. They thought in advance about what we might need for our celebration (an extra table perhaps?) and made it available before we even thought to ask. Just a fantastic experience from start to finish."

  • "Amazing home with beautiful furnishings. This home had everything we possible could have needed, including a kitchen that had state of the art appliances. The property itself was breathtaking with amazing views. The hosts of this property were the best hosts I have ever encountered. They were very friendly, available and very responsive at all times. But even better, we had quite a few special requests and every single one of them was accommodated. I highly recommend staying here if you have the chance."

  • "Lauren & Russell’s home is beautiful and comfortable. It was perfect for a weekend retreat we hosted for 14 guests. What was perfect about it? The common spaces, the kitchen, the beautiful long dining table, the porches, the den, the hot tub (!), the views, the land, the Wi-Fi, the generous amount of fuzzy throw blankets & the plentiful candles…I could go on and on. As hosts they were extremely kind, helpful and responsive. The surrounding area and town are wonderful too…we enjoyed walking around the lake and local spots like Random Harvest, Turtle Tree Seed, Zinnia’s, Tommy B’s, and the Hudson Amtrak station is very accessible."
