Hi, Raymond was such an incredible host from the time of me initiating the stay on line till I left his home. As soon as I met Raymond I felt very much at ease and comfortable as he has such a wonderful presence and energy about himself! He gave me "the space" as I needed and he was available when I wanted to ask questions, etc. Raymond's home was unique as it has a nice view and towards the evening lots of deer came up to his backyard and ate the grass and clover their, which I truly enjoyed! The bedroom and bed, were very cozy including the bathroom, living room and kitchen and very clean.. I slept great and there was plenty of hot water in the (URL HIDDEN) the morning Raymond had put out a great spread of breakfast items for me to enjoy and it was perfect..I was actually sad to leave as I felt so good being here! I would recommend this home and Raymond to everyone.....Mark

Raymond is an incredible host, generous with his company and home. His home is comfortable and has a fantastic view and deck that alone is worth the cost.

Everything here was terrific. Ray was very nice, informative, generous, friendly and helpful. That picture of the view is accurate except that it's even better than that.

Ray was delightful! He made me very welcome, the room was cozy, everything was clean and the view was spectacular. He asked about my breakfast preferences and in general went above and beyond. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Very welcoming and gracious. Quiet and pretty house and room.

The stay at Ray's place was fantastic. He is such an easy person to work with and is very open and clear with his communication. He was very flexible and was fine with my showing up much later than expected. He made me feel at home and I enjoyed sharing the space with him. He asked me about food I enjoyed and he was extremely generous in providing it. Everything was easy to figure out and having my own room and bathroom allowed for privacy. His place is comfortable with quite a view and the whole area is very beautiful and bucolic. It was perfect for a relaxing stay. I recommend Ray's place without any reservations! Thank you Ray.

Wonderful host. Even offered me breakfast. Vertu comfortable.

Raymond's place was in a lovely setting, easy to get to, clean and cozy. Even though he was away, Raymond made sure everything was set up nicely and the downstairs neighbors were so helpful!

We have the loveliest time at Jennifer's place. It was clean, well-stocked, cozy, and charming. She was such a great, communicative hostess, and she even left us delicious goodies to tide us over on our first morning. This was such a perfect place to relax and unwind, and the town of Chatham is a gem (as are the towns surrounding). We loved our stay and can't wait to come back!

My family enjoyed a nice long weekend at Jenn's cottage in Chatham. The house has antique charm (woodwork, push button light switches, antique toothbrush holder, etc), but also has updated heating, laundry, etc so is comfortable. The location is good - walking distance to Chatham (which is a great town for weekenders with enough nice restaurants/bars to keep you busy, but isn't as crowded as some other hudson valley spots). From Chatham you can also easily visit Hudson to the west or Berkshires to the east. The house is located in a small neighborhood, so it's not secluded, but it's still very rural and quiet. It's also not far from the Taconic parkway so getting in and out is easy. The house is the right size for two couples or one family. It seems like its a full time rental, so the closets are empty instead of being filled with the owner's stuff. However it is fully equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, toiletries, etc. Last but not least, Jenn was a great host - her restaurant/"things to do" recommendations were spot on and she went out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable.

Jennifer's place has a very special vibe to it. It is the most antiquey house I've ever stayed at. The push button light switches and the clawfoot bath tub take you away to a much earlier time. My stay was very comfortable and relaxing. Jennifer goes the extra mile to ensure the warmest hospitality. Highly recommended!

This cottage is truly a gem and a great location for a getaway. Host Jennifer goes out of her way to make sure your stay perfect.

Great hosts! Lovely room, great bad, wonderful treats. Very warm and homey wall coming, We would like to come agin. מקום נחמד מאד, מיץ׳ ואיילין זוג חם ומכניס אורחים עם הרבה תשומת לב לפרטים הקטנים, המלצות מעולות לפעילות באזור. מאד נהנינו אצלם.

Elaine was very welcoming and we felt at home right away. She offered suggestions about eating out and other activities and was all in all a most gracious and friendly host. The setting is quiet and surrounded by a park like property. We would definitely stay there again when in the area and recommend it highly.

It was an absolute splendid experience! The room was cozy and clean. Elaine was wonderful! She made homemade organic muffins for us, prepared a full plate with organic fruits, played and told stories to my kids. We'll be back soon!

We loved staying at Elaine's house, the bed was so comfortable and the room, very charming, quiet and clean. Her house is situated in a gorgeous part of upstate NY. We had a restful night and felt very welcome. We would definitely stay there again ion our next trips upstate NY.

Elaine and Mitchell were great hosts and made me feel at home. The house is in a quiet and secluded location. Wish I could have spent more than one night.

Great place. Steve is a helpful and accommodating host. He built many parts of the house and it's furnishings himself; one can see he put much care and love for woodwork into it. We had an enjoyable stay, and I highly recommend the place.

Steve made me feel very welcome.He had left little treats in the fridge and connected with me as soon as I arrived to check that all was well.The house was as advertised and more. Super cozy and comfortable house, lovely setting in a wonderful area close to so many wonderful and interesting things.Steve made sure I had everything I needed and went and got me anything I asked for to make the house perfect.I spent a month at Steve's house in the most beautiful time year. From the house I had a great view of the changing Fall colors.The town of Chatham is close by and a charming little town. The house is accessible to wonderful farm markets,a local coop and a very good chain grocery store.The house is easy to live in and very comfortable. I would certainly return and did not want to leave. It was a wonderful experience to be at Steve's on all levels. He was gracious and helpful and available for anything I needed.I have only positive things to stay about Steve, the house and my experience.

Steve was an excellent host. From his initial communication to our final goodbye. I would love to stay at Steve's place again in the future. It was very well organized. He everything we needed. He even went out and got a grill for me to use while I was there. Excellent in every way!

My boyfriend and I had a great weekend here! Michael was amazingly accommodating, helpful, and communicative starting the weeks leading up to the trip all the way through our last day there. He was always just a phone call away and eagerly wanted to answer all of my questions, no matter how small. The house itself was so comfy and cozy. The kitchen was amazing for our cooking needs and the wood stove added an extra layer of heat and character! There's a train that runs behind the house, but it wasn't a problem for us and the space heater/fan gives off a good white noise effect if it's needed. We'd love to come back sometime -- the house was so cozy, we didn't want to leave!

A charming get away cottage, Michael's home is perfect for a weekend or few days escape. Very close to small downtown Chatham (drive, bike or walk) with fun restaurants, a local brewery, old classic movie theater and cute stores. Farms, berry picking & country roads abound. Michael was a very responsive host and attentive to everything and helpful with local tips for things to do and places to go. The cottage is full of old school charm with modern conveniences with wifi, roku, door codes, etc. We really enjoyed Michael's suggestion for a visit to OMI art center with it's outdoor sculpture park - great combo of art & nature. Blue Plate, another rec, was our fav dinner. Highly recommend!

Michael was very possibly the best host I have ever had. He worked with me and my group to figure out exactly what kind of stay we were looking for, what places interested us, etc. He was easily accessible and not overly in touch and oh so welcoming. Honestly don't have enough words to emphasize that this host is tremendous. The little house is really adorable. It was a cozy nice spot to stay with all the records, movies, games, etc that one could want with a beautiful patio, large back yard, and fire pit. We didn't notice the train at all while we were sleeping. We stayed during the summer but could definitely see the advantages of staying in the winter too - complete with an indoor stove to keep the place warm and a cool looking sled! We also loved that this place is a very easy walk into town and the star-scape is breathtaking. Chatham is the next big thing, we are sure! It has all the hallmarks of a great vacation spot - hiking, museums, a cute little theater, a brewery, vineyard, lakes for swimming, a food coop, delicious restaurants, etc etc etc. We went to the Shaker Museum in New Lebanon, climbed Harvey Mountain for a nice view and blueberry fields at the top, and spent an evening at the local brewery before stopping by the lake for a swim the next day on our way home. This place would be great for a family, a couple, a group of friends (we were 6 best friends, which could be a little tight but definitely worked for us). So far as criticisms...*crickets* ...the shower water (there is filtered water on the fridge, so this wasn't a problem with drinking water) seemed a little sulphuric? But that might be expected in a countryside retreat, and it was not enough to deter us from returning to this really adorable spot.

Michael was very accommodating he was always just a phone call away with anything that I may have needed or was concerned about. His cabin was located minutes away from downtown Chatham he was very knowledgeable about the town the restaurants and entertainment ! Michael brought hosting to a new level !

Michael was a fabulous host! Very knowledgeable about the area. House was charming, cozy and well-kept. Will absolutely stay here again!

Michael was a great host and helped make our stay perfect. He configured the place to fit the right number of guests and provided a lot of great input regarded the house and the local area.

Darling little house with great outside space - fire pit and a great deck out back. Perfect kitchen for home cooking with a great fresh foods market down the road. Michael is very amenable to making the stay comfortable

Michael provided an immediate response, accommodated special requests we had without hesitation as well as ensuring we had all the information to make our stay relaxing. The add met all expectations. The Chatham area was central to the areas development over time. Chatham had served as a hub for the The New York Central Railroad. The train whistle heard brought me back to the days when you could ride the rail to and from Chatham. A more personal connection for me. The cottage was the home of Charles and Nellie Craemer Traver who purchased the home in 1920. They were my Great Grandparents. Charles was an engineer on the New York Central. The couple raised 5 children in the home - before the home had indoor plumbing. One of their sons George H Traver served in WWII awarded 2 Purple Hearts the last awarded making the ultimate sacrifice. He was missing in action for 73 years. His remains were recovered by the non profit group History Flight and laid to rest in the Chatham Rural Cemetery on 8/28/16. My mom as well as her 2 sisters, daughters of SpencerTraver and Dorothy Tompkins Traver, were born in the home.

We spent two wonderful summer months at the house of Lisa and Glenn Rugen on Kinderhook Street. The apartment was perfect for our family of four - two bedrooms, kitchen and sun room/entryway. The separate entry on the first floor was very convenient, as we were constantly going out and coming back at all hours of the day. The outdoor patio area was a great place to have a cup of coffee in the morning, or to grill in the evening. The king-size bed in the master bedroom was great. We really enjoyed getting to know Lisa, Glenn and their three daughters -- a very artistic and creative family, and very knowledgeable about the Chatham area and beyond. They were ready to respond to any issue we had, even bringing us extra blankets when the nights got cold. Overall, our experience renting this place was fantastic!

This was actually our second stay at Thomas's lovely house. The house was just as warm and inviting as we remembered, perhaps even better. This time Thomas was even kind enough to leave an amazing welcome basket for us, which included things like fresh bread and cookies from the local bakery. It was definitely an appreciated touch, especially after a long tiring drive. Like last time, Thomas was attentive and quick to respond to my questions. The next time we need to stay in the lovely Chatham area again, I know where we'll be staying. Absolutely fantastic.

This is a great place to stay and relax in a beautiful country setting where surrounding communities are genuinely working to live healthier lifestyles. During your stay, check out Hawthorn Valley Farm and Co-op, and the associated Waldorf school. It's a world class community! Thomas, the owner is exceptionally accommodating once he has confirmed that you aren't misrepresenting your group and the nature of your stay. I provided a substantial amount of personal information to let him know that we were a peaceful family gathering prepared to treat his home with respect.

Incredibly beautiful house and grounds, astonishing hospitality, phenomenal weekend. Frankly, the experience left us speechless. The house is indeed charming and secluded -- although this description is something of an understatement. It's a beautiful house, extremely comfortable and with just the right amount of personality. It was very comfortable for our group of ten. The 10 acre grounds were stunning in February and made for a great hike for our group. We never met our host Thomas in person, but he was incredibly generous and attentive nonetheless. He left us a beautiful care package on arrival, and followed up with us via text message periodically to make sure everything was OK. He also invited us not to worry about the check-out or check-in time. In short, he was the best host one would hope for. This experience was so great it honestly made me wish I knew more people with large groups to invite them to rent this house. Highly recommended.

We stayed for one very pleasant weekend in Thomas's beautiful house in Spencertown, NY. The house is secluded and quiet with plenty of nature surrounding its beautifully landscaped property -- but also conveniently close to stores and restaurants in the towns of Chatham (only 5 minutes), Great Barrington (20 minutes), and Lee (30 minutes), should you need it. It's the perfect blend of seclusion and modern amenities. The house is indeed charming. The interior of the house was extremely cozy and clean. I was instantly at ease the minute I stepped into the house. We also appreciated the brand new grill he bought before our stay, and the new standing fan which helped keep things especially cool! As a host, Thomas is as accommodating as they come. He was prompt to answer any questions and address any concerns we had. I would not hesitate to book another stay at this house again. In fact, with its conveniently setup wood burning stove and nearby skiing at Catamount I think a winter/skiing getaway is definitely in the works!

The house was lovely and felt just like home. It was as cozy as we had imagined with a wood-burning stove and heating throughout. Kitchen was well stocked with the all the essentials. The loft was a favorite spot of ours to gather around and relax. We were a group of 10 but were able to fit comfortably, as the couch was a pull-out and Thomas and Mark were very accommodating and set up an air mattress for us. The location was secluded and quiet but was also an easy drive to town and Catamount ski resort. We had a very pleasant stay.

Thomas did an incredible job of making myself and my family welcome into his beautiful home! It was exactly as he described, and possibly even better. The home is in a remote area, but that was exactly what we were looking for. There was a main town with small shops and places to go just a few miles down the road. The woods surrounding the area were beautiful for a hike, and the wood stove was wonderful to warm up by on a cool night! Thomas was also gracious enough to leave some welcoming food for our stay, although the grocery store is quite close for anything we may have forgotten. He was even kind enough to leave out toys for our 1 year old to play with! I look forward to our next stay, and can't wait to bring other family members with us!

Out of all the Airbnb experience that I have, Thomas' welcoming gift is the most incredible. What a wonderful surprise to arrive in a secluded home after 2 hours drive to discover that the fridge is full of fresh food (including ice cream in the freezer !) and that it's not because the previous guests forgot them ... it's the welcome basket from the host. The place is huge and very nicely furnished. We had a lovely time and it's not too far away from Tanglewood (20 min drive) where we spend the Saturday evening listening to John Williams directing the Boston Pops (Awesome ! :)) Overall great experience.

The house and location where perfect for our New Year's weekend getaway. Thomas was extremely communicative and made sure we were completely prepared for the visit. The house is great. Clean with a stocked kitchen and lots of beds. We also spent a considerable amount of time just enjoying the wood burning stove! We also found the location extremely convenient as the property feels secluded and private but also has easy access to a grocery store and some great little towns along the Hudson. Thanks for helping create a great New Year's tradition!

Sharita was a great host and I was able to reach her with any questions.

Sharita was a wonderful hostess. She texted us directions and met us at the house on arrival. She walked us through the house and answered any questions we had. We slept 9 people very comfortabley with the use of an air mattress. The property is so beautiful and tranquil. The house is very quaint, feels just like grandma's country house. Very clean. Looks just like the pictures. Only negative, it does get a little hot at night. We did stay in August, so thats to be expected and there are fans in every room. Other than that, we had a very nice stay.

Great country house for our group getaway. Had all the basic amenities we needed in the house, plus a lovely lake and lawn. Sharita was accommodating and helpful. No complaints.

Sharita was very communicative in the time leading up to our visit and while we were there. We were given helpful directions to supplement the GPS several days before our arrival, and Sharita was flexible in meeting us when we were delayed by rain and traffic. We felt like she was within easy reach if we needed her during our stay, but she gave us plenty of space to relax. The property was beautiful and relaxing!

We had a fantastic weekend using the cabin as our homebase. The cabin is very secluded, reachable by a drive where we passed a flock of baby turkeys and many deer. Love the decor, which is very cozy yet modern. Kat was a great host and gave us tips for where to visit within the area.

We had the best time at Kat's cabin. The house is beautiful and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and a great shower. We loved the woodsy location - maximum peace/quiet/privacy, but close enough to town. It was the perfect getaway.

The cabin is nicely located in the middle of the woods, you cannot see the sky! So many leaves! The interior decoration is beautiful, but with time passing, nature is moving right into the house: spiders are everywhere, the kitchen, the barbecue and floors need a thorough cleaning and we profited of the company of a chubby mouse. We found mouse droppings in the kitchen, on the toaster... Also the surroundings need to be better taken care of. I understand that it's not easy to maintain a country home, but because of all this, we did not feel comfortable. We informed Kat, but got no response, as she wasn't connected due to a family meeting. All in all, we felt this was an expensive location.

The cabin is very cosy and cute! It feels secluded but is really close to Chatham, Ghent, and not too far from Hudson either. You definitely feel away. If you're comfortable with a more rustic, woods-y feel, you'll love this place. Overall a wonderful stay!

Birch cabin was lovely -- a peaceful weekend retreat surrounded in the woods. Kat left explicit and easy-to-follow directions about arriving at the cabin, and and the place was just as pictured: cozy and comfortable! The birdsong from the deck, the wood stove on chilly evenings, the screened-in porch, all made for a wonderful weekend away from the city. If you're looking for someplace secluded and quiet, where you can stare into the trees while sipping coffee on the deck, we can heartily recommend Birch Cabin!

We had a lovely time in the cabin, a beautiful, quiet, secluded spot. Everything was as described and it is indeed a unique place. Just one problem which was not Kats' fault. The address of the house and her phone number sent to us by Airbnb were incorrect and we wasted a lot of time trying to find the place due to those errors. Kate had sent instructions with the correct information but we were not aware that they were different from those sent us by email by Airbnb; we thought they were further instructions on how to use the house, dispose garbage, etc. so we didn't print that document and there was no phone signal in the area next to the house to download it. We never imagined that the address sent by Airbnb or Kat's phone number would be incorrect. Airbnb or Kat: please correct those errors and update the phone information.

Super cozy, peaceful respite from city life. We enjoyed building a fire in the wood burning stove and listening to the woodpeckers, collecting pine cones and enjoying nature. Kat was also a wonderful, communicative host who quickly answered questions and made sure we were comfortable. I would recommend Kat's house to anyone needing a quiet place to unwind for a few days. Chatham is also a lovely little town, we esp. enjoyed shopping at the Food Coop there. Thanks, Kat!

Joy's house was great -- very tastefully decorated, spacious and clean. And the house has million dollar views. Only 25 min from our favorite lake at Great Barrington. Dog friendly.

Joy's house is really fantastic. Great views, plenty of space, clean, with everything you need to relax. The main areas in the house have been very well designed and the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms are great. Will definitely consider staying again.

Spent a holiday weekend here with a group of friends and it was perfect. The design and layout of the house is great for a big group. The house was just as you see in the pictures and was very clean. There is a lot to do around the area and the check in/out was seamless. Looking forward to staying here again in the summer months. Would highly recommend this house.
