We stayed for a graduation from the University, it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the quiet during a very hectic weekend. The owners have thought of just about everything you could want to do during a country weekend!

Amazing

Absolutely beautiful location. Matt and Kristy were great. The view was spectacular, the jacuzzi and bed were great. Everything about my stay couldn't have been better. There was plenty of space for many people. Great place to relax. Kristy and Matt were very helpful with finding food in the area and left all kinds of thoughtful touches. I hope I can stay here again in the future!!

Amazing

The lodge is well furnished and well stocked. It is beautiful and the grounds are beautiful. It is very peaceful here. A wonderful escape from the city life. And, it's still close to major shopping outlets and towns. The hosts are generous, welcoming you with fresh eggs. They respond immediately to all your questions/needs. I highly recommend you stay here

Would definitely stay again!

The lodge was quaint and cozy, the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. It was clean and had everything you could possibly need for a short vacation, including a jacuzzi tub! The surrounding property was gorgeous with several fun and short hikes that we partook in to get out and enjoy the nature. Matt and Kristy were great hosts and helped with anything we needed, including purchasing more free-range eggs! There is also a supermarket just 10 minutes down the road so there is plenty of easy access to food. If you stay here, I would recommend bringing your own pillows, though that is a personal preference, of course. Thank you for such a wonderful stay :)

Clean and Beautiful Property

My flight was delayed and I had a change in plans so I was only able to enjoy this property for 1 night but I would be happy to return. It was exceptionally clean throughout and well furnished. The view from the main living area is so peaceful and lush. I enjoyed the tub in the main bedroom after a long day. The central air worked well which is a bit unique in upstate NY where most rentals only have a window unit or no AC. I have no complaints and would recommend. This is clearly a well cared for property.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

There is absolutely nothing negative I can say.From the time I booked to the time I left this was the best experience I've had yet. Constant quick contact if needed. Cleanliness the best .They had extra stock if you forgot anything like toothbrush, (I DID) toothpaste,razors...... A Keurig with coffee pods,tea, creamer and FRESH honey. Hiking trails ,pond ,creek..... I needed this place because it was close to my daughter's wedding venue and all the running back and forth it was necessary to be super close.

This place was beautiful. It was out of town so it didn’t feel like we were cramped in the city but only 20 minutes from all the food and shopping. We live in the country so it felt like home away from home. Unfortunately my whole family got sick day 2 there so we didn’t get to enjoy the trails.

Secluded and spacious

A very nice lodge on a large property. Probably 1000 feet back from the road it is private and quiet. The owners raise free range chickens that will run happily to you if you decide to feed them. There are fresh eggs in your rental and honey from their bees.

We were looking for a clean and restful place for a mini vacation and this place fit the bill. Enjoyed the view, the walk to the waterfalls and the jacuzzi. Needed help to start the pellet stove and the owner came right over and we stayed warm and toasty.

Fabulous Stay!

Getting away from home with a home that’s the feeling of home is a good thing. The opportunity to walk the trails or buy honey made from their very own bee hive is a nice addition to getting away. It’s also a nice feeling to know that Kristy and Matt were near by than away from the property. So, being away and yet connected was and is a nice thing to have for a relaxing time spent with none other than family.

Relaxing and Gorgeous Views

We were in the area for a family reunion. We were extremely busy and only used the Lodge for sleeping. It would have been nice to just relax, chill and enjoy this beautiful property but our prior commitments made this impossible. When we return to the area this property will be our first choice, thank you Matt and Kristy for the wonderful stay!
