Warm place, good host.

Michael and his wife were as warm and welcoming as the suite itself! I stayed for one night and it was the perfect location for a getaway. The home was easy to find and in close proximity to Beacon and many other fun/artsy attractions in the area. The suite itself is about four times the size of my New York apartment, so it felt very luxurious and you really can't beat the view of the sun rising over the Hudson in the morning. If they would have me, I would totally stay again on my next Hudson Valley adventure. A beautiful home and a lovely host - thank you!!

Had a great time

Our welcome was as though they were greeting family. Their home is absolutely lovely and so very comfortable. It was everything and more than we ever imagined. They were delightful helpful and always available for information. Great couple, wonderful accommodations, and beautiful neighborhood.

My husband & I had a delightful stay in this lovely suite! Michael is extremely responsive to all our communications and made us fell so at ease from the moment we arrived. The area is charming and immaculate. Definitely Five Star luxury! I would recommend this stay to anyone, and already have shared our wonderful experience with friends and family. The location is so convenient to the Hudson River waterfront dining and the charming town of Beacon. We enjoyed a complementary glass of wine on their lovely patio overlooking the Hudson, upon our arrival. We stayed two nights, both on our way to a wedding in Mystic and on the way back.

Michael was very welcoming from the moment he opened the door and an adorable little dog named Cooper ran out to greet us. The house is immaculately kept and is beautiful. The neighborhood is central to many historical and natural sights, and the surrounding area is very safe. Our hosts were so gracious that they even invited us to join them for a glass of wine and warm conversation. I would definitely stay with Michael and Pam again, and highly recommend the experience to fellow Airbnbers!

This was our second stay at Michael and Pamela's suite. The first review regarding the general information could be found in the other review below. On the second day, Michael, Pamela, My wife and I had a joyful dinner at the suite. I cooked two of convenient Korean noodles for Mike and Pam. Most people feel uncomfortable trying foreign food for the first time, but Mike and Pam tried it gladly. Furthermore, Mike provided an excellent salad with octopus. It was amazing. We had a merry conversation over wines again. They even guided us through their private suite. There were some wonderful historic memoirs including photos and their parents' belongings. It was very intriguing, and I believe this was the reason why our last night in the states was the most wonderful. Mike and Pam really enjoy the communication with new people. Thank you, Mike and Pam. We are looking forward to playing golf with you in the future at Powelton Club established 1882. :)

Michael and Pam were so welcoming and friendly! The suite is absolutely lovely and private. Their home is probably the cleanest AirBNB home I've ever seen. Michael was also very great at communicating with us. He had lists of restaurants and things to do around the area. Everything was exactly as the listing described the room to be, and there was even wine waiting for us. I would recommend staying with them without any hesitation.

This was a weekend-away-from-the-city paradise! The suite was lovely, quiet, relaxing, and perfectly situated in striking distance to Dia and the adorable town of Beacon. The bathtub was amazing and Michael and Pam were charming hosts and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!

This house is a perfect escape from the city. are simple and the check-in process was seamless. The neighborhood has many options for shopping but does not feel congested. We were welcomed with the smell of firewood burning in the fireplace. The house was clean, felt warm and welcoming, and the space was exceptionally clean. Each room has been carefully curated by it's owners to have a special feel. The rooms are filled with art, books, interesting odds and ends. There is a vintage record player in the main room, perfect games to play with friends over wine, and magazines to peruse. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to host a perfect dinner with friends. There is a mid century modern twist when you enter the back room. It's equipped with a fireplace and some very amazing (and comfortable) furniture. I love that each room has it's own vibe and they remain true to the feeling. Rooms are big, bathrooms are fully stocked with essentials, and we were even given breakfast items, chips and dip, and other goodies to start us off. We will absolutely stay here again.

I was so pleased with Ray's home. I rented it for my son's West Point graduation and shared it with friends and family attending. The decor was very unique and I loved looking around at the various collections. The multiple gathering spaces worked well for my group as well since we had various age groups that separated at times. Everyone commented how comfy their beds were, and when my other family members who were staying in another rental stopped by, they raved about how nice the home was. It rained most of the days I was there so I didn't get to enjoy the back deck, but it looked beautiful and Ray even provided citronella candles and bug spray. How nice! I wish I would have discovered this place sooner than my son's last week there. I hope other families (I've already recommended it to multiple) enjoy it as much as I did.

Spending a weekend away from Manhattan at Ray's house was an absolute dream come true for me and my friends. The lovely photos truly can not convey the amazing serenity and tranquility that we discovered in Newburgh. Ray is such a warm and inviting host, and is quick to answer any questions or offer advice for places to go or things to do. The house was immaculate, and the decor was quirky and so well curated. We loved discovering the design of each new space when we arrived at the house. I highly recommend a stay here, although I hope you don't request the same time I do when I inevitably schedule my next visit!

Highly recommend staying here! Beautiful house and super clean! We had a wonderful stay and Ray was very helpful from beginning to end!

We had a great time at Ray's house. It is beautiful and very comfortable. Each couple had their own room and bathroom, plus an extra room with twin beds that wasn't used. The kitchen had everything you need for cooking for large groups. The large living room in the front was great for daytime games and lounging, while the back living room with the fire place was perfect for post dinner drinks or early morning reading. Ray was incredibly helpful and accessible despite being out of the country during our stay. We had everything we needed and more.

My family and I spent four nights after Christmas in Newburgh/Balmville/Beacon as a little post-holiday getaway for the nature, history and culture that this little slice of the Hudson Valley can provide. To that end, we had a wonderful stay at Ray & his partner’s home. The space is warm, thoughtfully decorated and versatile with respect to amenities, entertainment potential (those old-school CDs tho), and gathering spaces for quality time. The house is also close to local highlights like Dia:Beacon and Breakneck Ridge a short drive away. The three bedrooms and main living areas all feature artful touches and the kitchen/bathrooms are well stocked with pretty much anything you’d need out of a home away from home. Ray was also kind enough to leave us some breakfast materials, laundry pods and wood for the fireplace. All in all, couldn’t have asked for a better spot for the price. Just wish we had more time to enjoy! Thanks again, Ray! Hoping to return someday. (:

It was a great stay. The house is absolutely amazing!

We had a great time at Ray's house. It's a beautiful home, surrounded by trees--very spacious, clean, and comfortable. It's also in a great location--close to Beacon & the Dia, Storm King, and lots of great hiking. The house has a fun aesthetic, and is ideal for a group. Ray was patient with us when something came up that we thought might prevent us from going on our trip--he was accommodating when we were able to make the trip after all.

Drew and Jane were gracious hosts. We were here their first weekend open. We stayed three nights and everything was perfect. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

This is a lovingly restored old Victorian style home and our room was quiet and cozy with a nice big bathroom on the third floor. The setting is bucolic on a big property that's about 10 mins to downtown Newburgh + Beacon. It was great to get away for a night, grab a beer a the Newburgh Brewery and enjoy that fabulous breakfast. Very accommodating hosts...enjoyed hearing about their renovation story.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Bed was comfortable and breakfast delicious.

Drew & Jane were quick to respond during the booking process and the house really lived up to the listing. We were greeted warmly before we even made it to the door and, most importantly, felt comfortable throughout our stay. We loved the vintage touches in the house and the location was convenient to downtown Newburgh as well as Beacon just across the bridge. Breakfast was also delicious! Would definitely stay again.

Amazing stay! It was raining when we arrived and Drew met us at our car with umbrellas. The room was perfect and the house itself is beautiful. Also, breakfast was amazing! Loved it so much here - definitely recommend!

This is the perfect place to come to escape the city. Drew and Jane are excellent hosts and their home is beautiful. The bed is absurdly comfortable, the room is cozy. It was exactly the right place to recharge, rest our heads and sleep soundly with the ability to open the window wide and not hear constant horns blowing. The location is perfect. Not too far from the city, in Newburgh and just over the bridge from beacon. Drew is an excellent cook and breakfast was a treat. Can't forget to mention their little one. Her bright energy was a delight to be around. We'll definitely be back!

We loved our stay! Sevgi's house was beautiful and comfortable, and the view of the river was so nice to wake up to. The bedroom and the bathroom were so spacious and clean. Sevgi was a gracious host -- she greeted us even though we arrived very late at night, provided us with a delicious breakfast, and communicated clearly and promptly throughout the whole trip. Her son was kind as well. I'd love to come back and stay another time -- thanks for your hospitality!

Sevgi was a wonderful host. Beautiful and well located home, comfortable bed and an incredible view of a grand vista from the bedroom window. Sevgi was most hospitable and provided interesting conversation. She helped me out finding a location to buy a replacement for my camera that i broke the previous day.Highly recommended

Had an amazing stay in Sevgi's beautiful room. The bathroom in particular was a treat — a big open view of the Hudson Valley right in front of a full-on Jacuzzi bathtub. We had a grand time and would definitely recommend a stay there.

Sevgi was a great host! She welcomed us warmly and made sure our stay was comfortable. Her house is beyond expectations.

Amazing bathroom with a view! The bed was big and comfortable. Would stay here again. Host was easy to communicate with.

Sevgi was a really friendly host. The place was as described. The view over the Hudson was pretty amazing. The bedroom was very large and extremely clean. I would highly recommend this location.

The privacy of the master suite was far more than I expected and the bed was so comfortable. Sevgi is a wonderful cook and I had an extraordinary breakfast. If I have an opportunity to visit the area again Sevgi will be my first choice!!

Sevgi was very nice and hospitable. We weren't able to spend much time at the house because we had plans all weekend. But it was a very comfortable place to spend the night. We were disappointed that we couldn't use the jacuzzi. But other than that it was a nice stay.

Keith is an awesome host -- warm and welcoming. The home is totally charming. It is vintage yet well-maintained, decorated with fun, eclectic memorabilia. We loved the location as it was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go (we were visiting our son at West Point but also enjoying some great restaurants in Newburgh). The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. We will return.

Keith has the gift of hospitality. If your a detail person who savors the grace of flexibility, Keith is your man. He was a warm and welcoming host. My fiancé and I enjoyed our film retreat getaway and even got to enjoy some Halloween fun at Keith's film showing of, "Rosemary's Baby" in Newburgh. His cat is adorable when present (because he's shy but cute) and the hot tub was a great retreat from a hard week of working for the both of us. We enjoyed our stay so much that we'll definitely come back again! Thank you Keith for a great stay. Cheers to you my friend! I look forward to my next visit :)

Great! Big room with a view of the park and private bathroom upstairs. Also a separate bedroom if your party has 3 or more guests. Private parking out back. Everything was clean and ready on time for us. Keith is a great guy and part of the local art community. Will definitely be staying here next time I'm in the area!

Keith's home is beautiful. It felt like we were staying in a luxury vintage hotel, but with the warmth and character of a home. It is evident that Keith takes great pride in decorating his home and every single thing he had in there was a treat for our eyes and our curiosity--from paintings to autographed photos to vintage lamps. Keith himself was a very friendly, welcoming and understanding host. We arrived late in the evening and Keith had plans on the town, but he made arrangements for us that were easy to follow and left specific instructions for us upon arrival. The room was large and has many windows which offered tons of natural light when we woke in the morning as well as views of the beautiful park across the street. The bed was very comfortable, luxuriously made and very clean. The bathroom was also very clean and soft, clean towels and wash cloths were provided. The bathroom is right next to the bedroom and we had the entire 2nd floor to ourselves which was really nice and felt very private. In the morning, Keith put out coffee for us and we had the pleasure of chatting with him before we headed out for the day. He recommended a great breakfast spot in Newburgh (2 Alices) which we thoroughly enjoyed--the food & the people! He also recommended some historical sites and other things to do/see in Newburgh which turned out to be a great addition to our trip. When we first looked for accommodations for our Hudson Valley weekend getaway, we were upset not to find anything we liked across the river in Beacon, but it turned out to be a GREAT choice. We most certainly look forward to returning the Keith's classic film retreat! Hopefully, next time, we'll get to enjoy his cozy back yard and hot tub! I highly recommend Keith's home for anyone traveling to the Hudson Valley. It's close to all the typical HV activities and attractions and the host is a cool guy with whom you can have great conversation. Thank you, Keith!

We had a lovely time in Newburgh and the accommodations at Keith's home were excellent. The house was lovely and comfortable. Definitely recommend staying at Keith's home, he was welcoming and very helpful with recommendations of places to visit and things to see while in Newburgh/Beacon area. Thanks again! Julie

Keith was very accommodating. He sensed that we had had a rough travel day. So he made us a round of martinis. Which was exactly what we needed. Newburgh is a gritty town but Keith's neighborhood is fine. We felt safe walking around at night

We enjoyed our brief stay in the Newburgh/Beacon area. Keith made sure that we had all of the information we needed about the area and had good recommendations for dining. We liked the tasteful decoration in this older house, which is located about five minutes from I-84 and in a quieter part of the city across from a park. Was easy to get to our activities across the river in Beacon.

Had a great stay at Keith's place, easy communication and he was available at all times. We stay at one of the bedrooms only for one night and enjoyed it.

Vincent was a great host- very easy going and flexible on our arrival time, provided a fantastic breakfast, and gave us lots of tips for activities in the area. The bed and room were comfortable and the cats were friendly. If you are in the area, it is a great place to stay!

Even before I arrived, Vincent made me feel very welcome. He answered all my questions in advance and was there to meet me when I arrived. He and his partner Antonio are very friendly and kind. I visited more with Vincent and he's a fascinating guy! An accomplished artist photographer and very knowledgeable about the Hudson River area. He made many recommendations for my daily excursions and kindly provided backpack, utensils and napkin for a couple of picnics. He provided a healthy and delicious breakfast each morning and was considerate about my low carb and no caffeine dietary preferences. The room was a great size and the bed was comfy. The bathroom right next door was perfectly convenient and always available anytime I needed it. There is no air conditioning and that was listed in the ad but I just failed to notice it. There is a ceiling fan and 2 window for cross ventilation so as long as the evening temps are low, it was quite comfortable. One night when temps where higher it was too hot for me. But the other 3 nights were just fine. Vincent's house is cute with beautiful woodwork from the early 1900's. His back yard was just emerging from winter at my visit and showed lots of promise for a lush place to hang out as spring and summer got on. The neighborhood is a bit more rough looking than I had anticipated but I had no problems. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would love to stay there again.

I had a wonderful stay at Vincent's home in Newburgh! He was a wonderful host who made me feel welcome in his home and even made me breakfast and coffee in the morning. His house was filled with amazing images and photography books too which I enjoyed :)

Vincent a su nous accueillir d'une manière très sympathique. La maison est conforme aux photos, le quartier très calme (15mn de Woodbury, 1h15 de Manhattan). Merci Vincent pour les longues discussions et pour tes savoureux petits déjeuners. Vincent was able to accommodate us in a very friendly manner. The house complies with the photos, very quiet (15mn Woodbury, Manhattan 1:15). Vincent thank you for the long discussions and your délicious breakfasts

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our stay at Vincent was everything we expected and more. Vincent is a great considerate host who took great care of us and gave us great tips! Definitively stay here if you're visiting the area and nearby hikes!

If you're in Newburgh book with Vincent!

Vince is a very hospitable host, and a charming and interesting person. His home is quaint and art-filled, and his cats are very cool.

Richard and Jill are just amazing, talented, interesting people who I just wanted to spend my entire trip with. It really felt like I could just stay and talk with them forever. Not only were they accommodating with my getting there later than planned, they were also accommodating with my having my service dog. In fact, I think they liked my dog the most! Since I have to go to Albany all the time, I will def be back!

Jill and Frank were great hosts and made us feel very welcomed and accommodating. They were great with our little corgi and allowed us to bring him and stay with us. Their place is much bigger than the images show and they even gave us a tour of their basement darkroom! They have an amazing pool and our corgi even got to play in it. We had a great time and would come back again.

Staying with Jill and Richard was wonderful. Their home is historic and full of art and books; it is certainly one of the most interesting places I have ever stayed. They are warm and kind hosts (full of fascinating stories) that made us feel very welcome.

Richard, Jill and Sally made us feel completely at home and part of the family. The house is beautiful and has a real calmness around it - the laid-back vibe of Richard and Jill are a big part of that. I recommend having your breakfast on the patio which skirts the stone wall of the house, surrounded by green. And swimming every day in the pool. The sky is so much bluer than in the city. It was hard to imagine ever leaving! !! !

Great place to stay and not a far drive from the big Apple

Jill was extraordinarily wonderful about communicating with us on our constantly changing arrival time. She was a lively & interesting hostess, and the super-king bed in our guest room was a welcome comfort for road-weary travelers! AND, Jill & Richard gave us an unparalleled dinner recommendation at the North Plank Road Tavern!

Lovely home, whose gracious hosts make you feel like family straight away. Location is across the street from a park, and close to the commuter train. Comfortable room with kitchen and laundry privileges. Highly recommend this historic property!

I admit we were apprehensive to stay in a house with people we did not know. That completely disappeared after just a few minutes as they are so welcoming to there guest. We stayed a whole week and by the end of the week it was like leaving old friends, we will always remember Richard and Jill and there historic house. If you want to visit the Hudson River Valley to view the historic site's and the colors of fall you could just stay at the 1828 Home and not leave and accomplish your goal just by staying here. it is beautiful inside and out, the yard is beautiful and the people are as beautiful. You are minutes from many sites that will make you want to stop and just soak it in, some are just across the street from where you will be staying. When I left Houston to go to NY I only knew one person in the whole state now I have friends there an hope to return when able.

Fallon was gracious from the very beginning! Her home was warm and as welcoming as she was! We were in the area for a college graduation with my elderly mother. The location was perfect.... we were close to all of the festivities at the Mount! The location was perfect for the family to gather for meals without having to fight the masses. Thank you Fallon!!!

Fallon was extremely friendly and a very helpful host! The living space was very comfortable and exactly as described with amazing views of the Hudson. If you are looking for a nice cozy, super chill and warm nest, then this is for you. The interior is so cool and tasteful, even better than the pics once your inside. We ate Blu-Point restaurant which was just a minute drive right on the waterfront. We stayed on Valentine's day and Fallon even left us a surprise treat in the fridge - a bottle of wine with two wine glasses next to the bottle! How thoughtful and cool! I will definitely be visiting again!

fallon is really nice and welcoming with her yoda binder lol

My daughters and I stayed at Fallon's place over Thanksgiving. I splurged because we very seldom see each other. Wrong move. I even waited a few weeks to see if I changed my mind before I wrote this review. First, I was texted when I arrived to keep the heat between 65-67 and the microwave was unplugged because she was going green. It was 35-45 outside. I spent over $1700 on 6 days so I turned the heat up as soon as my daughter came in the kitchen with her down coat on. I tried to plug the microwave back in to heat up Thanksgiving left overs but to my surprise it was already plugged in but it did not work. Then we could not get the fios system to work. No directions and when we called Fallon and then the fios company which we spoke to 1 1/2 could not help we had to set to up a service call. I called Fallon to have someone else wait for them but no one else could come over so we had to wait and wait for 5 hours and we called several times. On a few nights after midnight there was a screaming woman on her cell phone for 20 minutes in the side driveway, 2 nights a car parked in front of the house blaring its music, and then a dog barking for at least 20. I almost called the police. The area is a little shady. Lastly, there was no drawer space and only three hangers for the three of us. So my girls and I had to just keep our things on the floor during our 6 days. Fallon lives her when she does not have renters so all closets are full. I was going to ask Fallon for some of my money back because she knew how frustrating the cable situation was for us but did not bother. I was hoping she would have offered on her own. Yes, Fallon's place is clean and has a great view but knowing what I know I would never stay here again.

Fallon's home is super cute & charming. Perfect place for a quick getaway from the city.

I booked Fallon's home for a weekend getaway from NYC with a few of my girlfriends. We were celebrating a big move for one of the girls and I mentioned that to Fallon before we arrived. When we checked in, Fallon made a point to congratulate our friend and even left mimosa ingredients in the refrigerator for us! Fallon's apartment is beautiful, very spacious, and so comfortable. We spent lots of time on the deck overlooking the river, enjoying wine at night and coffee in the morning. There is Sonos throughout the apartment, which was awesome and easy to use. Fallon was very accommodating, meeting us a bit after the posted check-in time when we were running a little late. She also provided plenty of recommendations for hiking locations, restaurants, and live music. The neighborhood was sweet, the neighbors seemed nice, and parking was easy. It's also a quick drive to Beacon, where we spent the afternoon wandering around. I would definitely come back to Fallon's place another time.

Fallon was a great host. The house is amazing. Beautifully decorated and the view is spectacular. Thank you!

Fallon is a sweetheart and her place is great! It's exactly how is it described in the listing and shown in the pictures. The place is huge and has an amazing view of the river. We dined locally on Saturday night at Blue Pointe and it was amazing. We then spent the rest of our weekend visiting Beacon (which is about a 5 - 10 min drive across the river). Would come again in the summertime for sure!

Such a beautiful house. Everything was absolutely perfect. Merle has been a great house. Smiling and very helpful. This makes a huge difference. Thanks again. You will see me again.

Our stay here was wonderful. The house is so comfortable and beautiful. Can not recommend it more! Merle is a wonderful host.

My sister and I stayed overnight at The Grand House and a wonderful experience. Merle was fantastic as a host: EXTREMELY thoughtful and meticulous in having everything set up perfectly for us and very pleasant to talk to. A thoroughly enjoyable experience I highly recommend.

Holy cow, what a gem! This is a true B&B experience, and it went above and beyond what I expected/was even looking for to begin with-- easy access into the home with a code, cookies left in my room upon arrival, a deep claw foot tub with bubble bath included, views out each window that kept beating the last, coffee cake and other goodies for breakfast each morning... I could go on and on, truly. As I was leaving, I spoke to Merle and her husband and they were both so lovely, I wish I could have stayed longer. I came into town for Dia in Beacon, and the cab is $15/15 min drive. They're easily walkable to the Newburgh waterfront with plenty of dining options and bars. Can't recommend staying here enough- but I'll stop now, in hopes this place won't be too booked up for me in the future. :)

Merle was so awesome and the place was great. She gave us a big list of things to do in Beacon/Newburgh and had a fresh plate of chocolate chip cookies ready for us when we got there. I would definitely recommend staying with Merle!

Had the best experience. Merle's house is warm and inviting (and full of history!). She and her husband are super welcoming and have great recommendations.

Merle was great, so friendly. She'd even baked some delicious cookies. The house is really cool, the third floor was perfect. Nice common area to watch TV and have breakfast, and the room was spotless. Really nice stay!

Amazing stay! We arrived around 6 and were greeted with cookies. Merle was really accommodating and the space is fantastic.

We booked Rio's place for a retreat/brainstorming session, and came back feeling very energized and happy from a productive trip. Our group of 6 (1 couple & 4 singles) immensely enjoyed the enormous amount of space (5 bedrooms is rare!), the fireplace & Nespresso machine, beautiful river views and expertly curated artwork. Read the amenities carefully - ie, bring your own iron & hairdryer. On the plus side: Rio is very responsive.

My boyfriend and I stayed a night while exploring upstate New York, Drew and Jane were excellent hosts, very welcoming and flexible with regards to check-in. The room was nice, clean, and comfortable, and the house was filled with fun antiques, like an old-fashioned record player. They gave us plenty of suggestions for things to do and places to eat, and the breakfast was excellent with delicious fresh bread. Would highly recommend staying here.

An amazing stay in a home that has been shown a lot of love and dedication to making a new experience in the "bnb" world. The best breakfast I've had in a l(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)ng time and creative rooms designed for coziness. The hosts, Jane and Drew, are kind people with a vision.

My husband and I stayed one night to explore nearby Beacon. We were traveling with our almost 3-year-old who appreciated that there was another young child in the house, and the toys and playroom that Drew and Jane very kindly allowed our daughter to use as well. They were overall great hosts, flexible with check-in and ensuring we were comfortable in our room . The room was very nice and clean, the entire house is lovely. And the visit ended with an incredible home-cooked breakfast complete with fresh homemade bread! A great place to stay with a small family, or a small group renting the entire floor. Definitely recommended.

Drew and Jane were very hospitable. The rooms are in a beautiful old house with a wood burning stove in the kitchen that just adds to the allure. For any trip to Beacon or Newburgh I highly recommend staying here!

Lovely spot to stay. Included a beautiful breakfast with homemade, fresh outta the oven bread! Very accommodating hosts, we came in pretty late and the lights where left on for us. Would stay there again for sure.

Absolutely beautiful home! Couldn't have been more welcoming, friendly, or have provided a more delicious meal. The house is drop-dead gorgeous and the family might as well be professional chefs- a huge gourmet breakfast was waiting for us when we came downstairs. Super quiet and scenic landscape with A REAL wood fire burning stove. CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH.

Jill and Richard and Sally were all fantastic. After a long hike, their hospitality (and their pool) was very very refreshing. They were definitely "new" to the Air BNB thing, so there were a few minor issues (like toilet paper!) that are easy to fix, but overall the place was great and comfortable, especially for the price.

Fun place, wonderful people and a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere. The cats are awesome!

This is a perfect spot for cat lovers and chilled out travellers. We only stayed a night but wished it could have been longer. Jill, Richard and Sally were fabulously welcoming. Their home is a gorgeous, rambling house fit to bursting with stuff to look at. The pool is a great way to stay cool in the height of summer and there are numerous places to sit back and hang out in and around the house. If you're looking for a boutique hotel experience this isn't for you. If you want 'loved and lived in', somewhere to relax, and warm, interesting hosts you won't find better.

Jill and Richard's place is absolutely lovely. The bathroom was spotless! They opened their home to us and my dog and recommended amazing bars and restaurants in the area. The artwork throughout the home is incredible as is their collection of photography books. I can't wait to come back.

Great folks! The host was accommodating for us. We wanted to arrive before the normal check-in so we could prepare for our event after driving most of the day. We appreciated stopping by there early. It's too bad we didn't have more time to enjoy the house or the pool - too cold - or the park across the street.

Jill was very responsive to questions prior to arrival and Richard was welcoming. This is a very relaxed home with cats... a bit too relaxed when it comes to assuring room neatness. It is a beautiful home with gorgeous and interesting art in a lovely suburban setting. Well suited for visiting Storm King Sculpture Park. A little more effort at maintaining the private area (quality sheets, neat & clean, locking door) would make this a wonderful place to stay.

We didn't have the chance to meet Jill, but we met her husband Richard, who was very welcoming and told us a little about the history of their beautiful home. The room was on the small side but cozy and extremely comfortable. Their cats were very social and friendly.

We had a very good time staying with Jill and Richard. Very hospital and friendly. Great recommendations about local places, that we would never be able to find ourselves, though it was not our first time in that area. Loved the house and the decor, and the pool saved us from the 100F heat :) Very good park across the street with powder mill ruins. Communication was great - within 5 mins all your questions asked and concerns ( if any, though we had none:) ) answered and addressed. Recommend! And will try to come back as well :)

Merle & Chris's home is beautiful! In their first-floor bathroom you'll find a certificate from Newburgh commending them on the restoration of their home and their contributions to Newburgh. (Take some time to look through the rooms and keep an eye out for details like doorknob backplates, ornate toilet paper holders, etc.) The city itself has been through an interesting history, which Chris will happily tell you about if you're curious, and you receive a fairly comprehensive email prior to arrival that should lead you to some great places to eat and fun things to do & see. Upon arrival, Merle gave us a tour and said she'd be available if we needed, but everything we needed was already provided, including great extras I wish we'd had the time to enjoy like 2 TVs (one only for Netflix, the other with cable), a pool table, and a piano! We only visited one restaurant in Newburgh as we mostly used the house as our home base for the weekend - Newburgh is about an hour away from Warwick, 30 minutes away from Bear Mountain, and 15-20 min away from Storm King Art Center - but the highlight (aside from a restful sleep) was having coffee and breakfast on the deck with a sunny, gorgeous fall view of the Hudson. Thanks, Merle, for a wonderful stay :)

Merle and Chris are excellent hosts and their home is a gorgeous specimen of architectural history conveniently located in downtown Newburgh. They have done a wonderful job restoring the house and the layout works very well for a bed and breakfast. I'm into history and urban planning, so Chris used his encyclopedic knowledge to teach me about Newburgh and the surrounding area. Merle is incredibly warm and gracious. She made us feel right at home for our three day stay. I can't say enough good things about this listing. Go visit Newburgh!

I stayed at Merle's beautiful Victorian mansion for one night with my grandmother. Merle and her husband have lovingly restored this home and we very welcoming. We stayed on the third floor with a sweeping view of the Hudson River and Beacon, NY across the way. The house had other guests as well, but we felt as though we had the place to ourselves. It was very quiet and had a most comfortable stay. There are numerous common rooms with televisions and sofas where guests can relax and chat. I would certainly stay here again and recommend to friends.

The house and room were beautiful, the view of the Hudson from our room and the comfy second floor deck was beautiful. Merle was gracious in greeting us and in informing us about the town and arrival info in the note she sent prior to arrival. I wish I could come up with a creative way to rave about the convenience of the location of the comfort we enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again.

Merle's place was a pleasant surprise, we were welcomed with freshly baked cookies and given a tour of her beautiful home. Even though our stay was short she made us feel like it was our home. The view over the Hudson River and the lovely restored old home was just the place to get away. I would come back again and stay for longer next time.

My partner and I stayed with Merle for a last minute getaway. The home is beautiful, spotless, and Merle's attention to detail is unmatched when it comes to providing a luxurious stay, including fresh cookies to snack on and breakfast in the morning. The house is walkable to everything you need in Newburgh, and only a 10 minute drive away from DIA in Beacon. Merle's recommendation of Cafe Machiatto was amazing for Brunch. Definitely recommend!

Very nice house. We enjoyed our stay. Excellent host, we felt at home.

Drew and Jane were the perfect hosts. Their newly 19th c. renovated home is a beautiful treasure. Our snug room was outfit with woodies decor and bunk beds that brought back childhood memories. We enjoyed a yummy breakfast while chatting with other guests about area highlight. Can't wait to come back!

A perfect, beautiful farmhouse run by kind people. Couldn't be bettered.

We loved the room we stayed in, the decor was beautiful and the home was amazing! The breakfast was more than you could ever ask for, very delicious and kept you coming back for more. Showed great hospitality and we felt very comfortable staying there.

Big thanks to Drew + Jane for letting us stay in their gorgeous home! Generous hosts, super comfortable beds, immaculate bathroom and delicious breakfast. Couldn't have been better.

Very friendly hosts. Clean house and room. Highly recommend

Great experience. I really appreciate the breakfast that Drew cooked. Their place has been nicely renovated and is tastefully decorated. I would go back, and likely will.

Richard was very warm and welcoming. He called prior to introduce himself and offered to make us dinner that evening. The house is situated across from a park that is great for running in the morning. The house itself has tons of character and history. Great experience!

Beautiful location. Very watm and welcoming. Would stay again.

The house is incredible, you should go there to see what I mean. There is a great swimming pool as well. The host, Richard, was very helpful. he gave us a number of rides and he was very communicative.

We had a very nice time! Jill and Richard are very interesting and friendly and gave us great tips about the area.

Beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood, and charming, interesting hosts. Thanks for the stay!

My boyfriend an I took a weekend to get away and this house was in the middle of our plans. We have never stayed with AirBnB so we were a little nervous at first but we soon felt like we were right at home. Jill and Rich were very kind to open their home to us and made us feel welcomed. I highly recommend staying with them and their lovable cats!

Jill and Richard were gracious and so friendly. Ended up talking way into the night. Jill invited me out to a local event, which was a lovely way to spend an evening in a town I've never been to. The home is beautiful, and I had a nice walk around the park across the street in the morning. Coffee on the porch. It was outstanding. If I'm ever in the area again. I would definitely try to stay here.

Jill and her partner graciously accepted my request to have my sister stay at their listing (her Air BnB account was down), after a previous booking in the upstate NY area didn't pan out. Jill responded super quickly, which allowed my sister to have a comfortable, peaceful place to rest. My sister conveyed that the place was fantastic, her hosts gracious and the amenities were just as described.

We were looking for a house where we could host our large family while visiting West Point. Everything about Stonegate was great. The house and property were immaculate and the communication with Doug always timely. Everyone was very pleased. I definitely recommend Stonegate to any interested party.

Beautiful historic home with a well-equipped kitchen and cozy library. Great location for exploring the Hudson River Valley with a large group.

Very impressed with the house and the host. The house is amazing, especially the outside. Expansive amounts of yard space for activities, and a great patio area for grilling, hanging out, ping pong etc. Inside is great - stairs are a bit creaky but that's part of the charm. We had twelve people and almost everyone had their own room, plus there was ample common space and a dining room. The house is an easy drive from Manhattan, and in a great location – when we weren’t at the house, we did a hike nearby (there are several) and explored downtown Beacon. Douglas, the host, was very accommodating, and even left a couple of goodies for us to make sure our stay went smoothly. Even better, the kitchen was stocked very well, and there were plenty of baking/cooking/silverware materials – you don’t always get that when you visit a house. House rules were very clear and not constraining at all. He was also responsive over email and checked in that things were going ok throughout our weekend. Thanks to Douglas for letting us use your home for the weekend!

The host for the villa was wonderful. The villa was lovely, even on a cold February weekend (it was around zero degrees outside!). The guests all enjoyed themselves and one of the best memories was a photo of all of the guests on the grand staircase. I would highly recommend staying here.

We spent 2 nights over New Years eve at Douglas's property with 12 good friends. We had a wonderful time in this amazing house. The house itself was huge and even with a large group like ours, there was plenty of space to relax and spread out. The photos of the house do not do it justice, it was much grander than we anticipated. The bedrooms are all unique and well decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need to cook up a big feast (which we did several times over). The dining room is grand with a huge table and plenty of chairs. We spent evenings in front of the fire relaxing and listening to music. During the day, even though it was a bit chilly, we played ping pong and hung out on the big back porch. This property would be great in summer, the back garden is perfect for barbecuing. The house was very clean and Douglas was very responsive to our questions and provided great information about the surrounding area and the house itself. The location is very convenient, close to the Beacon train station and an easy drive from NYC. We would highly recommend this house, particularly if you have a big group of friends or a large family. Thanks Douglas!
