Westpoint Graduation Week

We had family and friends staying with us for our Son's Graduation. The house was perfect, close to Beacon, not far from Westpoint & accommodated everyone comfortably. The outdoor and indoor dining areas were also perfect for our needs, giving us weather dependent flexibility to eat inside or outside. The barbeque, outdoor pizza oven & fire pit were all excellent & all used during the week. As were local restaurants when we didn't feel like cooking. Highly recommended

Hudson Valley Weekend

What a memorable long weekend my friends and family had staying at this fabulous house with its wonderful amenities. We made delicious peach & burrata pizza in their wood fire pizza oven. When a rainy day canceled our outdoor plans we pivoted to charcuterie and wine in the dining room. We dined alfresco on the patio for our goodbye breakfast. This house is gracious and easily accommodated our group of 6 in comfort and style.

Amazing Home & Location!

Over July 4th, I stayed for 3 nights w/ my husband and 2 young kids. It was better than pictured! Extremely clean and extremely quiet. Easy location - a 5 minute drive from the center of town and all activities in Beacon (kayaking, hiking, shopping, grabbing coffee, etc.) The host was responsive. Interesting art everywhere. The grounds are fun to stroll around. Highly, highly recommend!

Art-filled Oasis

Impeccably restored with artistic touches throughout, warm but uncluttered, clean, comfortable. Chef's kitchen, beautifully landscaped with ample space outside to spend time. Quiet and very private, but not even 5min from restaurants and culture of Beacon. The hosts were communicative and had great local recommendations. We are excited to come back!

Like staying in an art gallery!

Our party of 7 came from all over the US for a memorial service for a dear friend and we needed a nice place we could all be together. The listing actually doesn’t do this place justice. What a fantastic setting with tons of privacy and space to enjoy the beautiful views and…the artwork! The artwork inside and outside the house was such an unexpected treat! The beds were very comfortable and the home was fully appointed, leaving us wanting for nothing. We made full use of the outdoor pizza oven and enjoyed all cooking together in the beautiful kitchen. We could have asked for a better VRBO experience. Betsy and Ed were wonderful! Thank you for giving us such a positive experience at such a difficult time.

This house was perfect for our long weekend family getaway. Big rambling 4 bedroom farm house beautifully presented and fitted out with everything we could possibly need, plus some wonderful artwork. The place was extremely clean, and the sheets and towels top quality. Betsy was wonderfully easy to communicate with and everything went seamlessly. I recommend this place highly.

Perfect family gathering

The house was perfect for our family gathering, aged 10 to 79. Lovely outdoor setting, very private and relaxing. Indoors was super comfortable and luxurious and well provisioned. It was perfectly clean. We most especially appreciated all of the local art displayed. It was both beautiful and interesting. Thank you Betsy and Ed.

Perfect Weekend!

We had a long weekend stay here and everything was perfect. The house and grounds were so peaceful! Our first time to the Hudson Valley and came for a couple of Renegades games. House was beautifully restored and comfortable. Kitchen and baths had everything we needed. We were able to enjoy the fire pit as well several nights and we were close to the stadium for the night games. Also enjoyed some hiking on Mt. Beacon and shopping on Main street. Ed and Betsy were great hosts, communicative and responsive. We would definitely visit again!

Could not have been more beautiful!

Stayed here with my family for my nephews West Point graduation. If you r looking to book a place for a West Point activity and think this is too far away, think again, this place is amazing and the drive actually goes really fast. The house, the beautiful grounds, the incredible sculptures by one of the owners, I literally cannot say enough about this place. I will definitely be back!

Wonderful escape to a world of nature and art

Everything about this house was a delight from the artwork surrounding the house to the expansive yard to the artwork inside the house to the orange French cook-top in the kitchen to the cozy living room to the unassuming but formal long table in the dining room to the loft bedroom with a slanted roof ceiling with a secret passageway to attached game room to the tetherball setup in the yard to the proximity to Beacon and its delights to the wonderful hosts who live up the road and ran (biked, actually) a baking dish down to us 5 minutes after we asked if the house had one. We really loved staying in this house.

The Best of Beacon!

OMG, what a house! What a property!! After hours of searching VRBO for our little family retreat to Beacon, we came across Betsy and Ed’s 1850’s Farm House, and boy oh boy, were we fortunate. The Farm House is charming, immaculate, warm, comfy, full of interesting art/sculptures, well stocked, well appointed, and Betsy and Ed, the owners, truly incredible hosts. We knew we were in for a treat based upon the fabulous reviews, the blazing fast replies to our messages, and being greeted by Ed upon our arrival with a quick, helpful tour of the house. Once settled in, we continued to be amazed when finding a Pack & Play all set up and ready for our 1 ½ year old granddaughter’s nap and a pile of lovely, age appropriate children’s book for her to enjoy. Given the not so wonderful weather while in Beacon as well as traveling with a young child, we opted to cook all of our meals in the inviting farm kitchen, and we were delighted (and impressed!) to find everything that we needed not only there, but in great condition. From a huge assortment of pots and pans…to an array of small appliances, utensils, cookbooks, and gadgets…the house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. I could go on and on about this special house and its owners, but to cut to the chase, if you are reading this and considering booking this house, just GO! You will not be disappointed ;-). Note to B&E: Thanks and we WILL be back!!!!

Perfect family reunion space

This home is lovely. Although the weather was uncomfortably hot outside we were cool inside and had plenty of together space and private space. The art work was delightful, the kitchen state of the art. We were near everything Beacon has to offer. Communication with Betsy was easy. We would love to come again when it’s cool enough to enjoy the fire pit and the pizza oven. A great place!
