Great stay in a historical home

My family and I had a great weekend in this charming, historical house. The house was clean, the rooms were spacious, and the beds were really comfortable! We loved all the West Point memorabilia placed around the home and its location. The house is in a quiet area but right around the corner from Main St restaurants and just a few minutes from West Point and a short drive from Bear Mountain. Would definitely recommend when visiting the area!

Great Easter Weekend

Our family stayed at the property over the Easter weekend as my son-in-law was playing baseball vs Army. The home was absolutely perfect! Heather was a fantastic host and SO quick to respond to any and all communication. We walked to dinners and were so close to everything. This property is everything it is advertised!!

Perfect for our family!

Review of VRBO Home - Our Rockbound Highland Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) - Exceeded Expectations I recently stayed at a VRBO home that completely surpassed my expectations! The home was not only beautiful but incredibly comfortable, offering all the amenities promised in the listing. It felt like a home away from home and matched the online photos perfectly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The check-in process was seamless, and the communication with the property manager was top-notch. This was by far the easiest experience I've had using VRBO, thanks to their promptness and clarity in communication. I'd highly recommend this VRBO home to anyone looking for a hassle-free, luxurious stay. Kudos to the hosts for maintaining such a wonderful property and ensuring a pleasant experience for their guests!

In Town Charmer

Our family spent a long weekend at this property and enjoyed it very much. Heather was very nice and easy to communicate with and we really appreciated all of the suggestions she gave us for things to do and see in the area. The house is well stocked, very clean, nicely decorated and updated. The neighborhood is quiet and very close to West Point Academy so if that’s on your must do list, this would be a great property. Thank you Heather for making our stay so enjoyable!

Great house in a terrific location

We’ve escaped upstate from NYC many times during the pandemic, but this was our favorite property. The house was immaculate, the hosts nicely left us wood for the fire pit, and took care of the little bit important details like Kleenex in every room, k cups for the coffeemaker, plenty of luxurious towels, shampoo and conditioner, and a well equipped kitchen. The location, right outside one of West Point’s gates, walking distance to MacArthur’s restaurant at the Thayer Hotel inside the gates, and to a wine store just down the block, and near to some awesome hikes, was super convenient. We also enjoyed all the great West Point memorabilia throughout the house. Nice large table on the deck and in the dining room gave us plenty of room to spread out. All in all a great weekend trip.
