Wonderful activity- filled, homey retreat

I stayed here for a few days with friends and their two tweens - the adults had some work to do (wedding planning!) and the kids are bottomless wells of creativity and energy, and we allll love food- Kathy's lovely family home had exactly what we needed! The kids cycled through water sports, fishing, RC boats (thank you for that!), badminton, board games and more while we adults joined for the occasional kayak. We preferred the excellent grill to the elderly electric stove for meals. The kitchen was well equipped with good pans, grill tools, anything we needed. We were met with a welcome gift of the most delicious cinnamon bread... ever? The entire place was spotless! It's an older property right on a lake, though, and i think a couple of air purifiers would help with some mustiness in a few places where even the most diligent cleaning can't reach. Beds were comfy, nights were quiet except for crickets, and it was cool enough that we could just keep the windows open for the lovely breeze. We slept well, enjoyed our days (that sunporch is a dream) and would love to stay again.

Great location for a family stay!

Stayed here for a few nights for a family get together with my siblings. We're all grown, but still kids at heart, so it was very fun to find this place stocked with board games and kayaks and all sorts of things to do. The hostesses, Kathy and Sue, had all sorts of helpful information in a guide book. It was very sweet, I could tell that they really cared about making us feel welcome. I feel like my family and I stayed at a home and I couldn't have asked for more!

Great for what we needed

We came up from TN for our nephew's wedding & this house was in the perfect spot for our stay. We had 1 small issue with the door lock which was addressed within minutes by Kathy. The only thing I was upset about was I forgot my fishing gear! If we ever get back to this area this will be the 1st place we look for.

A Little Slice of Home

Where to begin. My sister-in-law and I (both seniors) were so pleasantly surprised with this lovely home. Lake Katrine was like a vacation at home, away from home. The house sits on a beautiful lake and our hostess was the best. There was a loaf of cinnamon bread and a dozen eggs waiting for us when we arrived. There is pretty much everything you could need at the house for any age group. The kitchen is well stock with anything you could need to cook there. Appliances, pots, pans and dishware. There are board games, hula hoops, a foosball game, canoes, kayaks and a peddle boat (life jackets are provided). There was a crib and highchair, books for all ages along with games for toddlers to adults. The location is 1/2 mile in from the main road on a dead end street so there is a lot of privacy. So much to do in the area. We found great local towns to visit (Woodstock, Kingston and Saugerties), wineries and antique shops. A highlight was dinner at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. Reservations are a must. Kathy, our hostess, was available when needed but not at all intrusive. It was one of the very best vacation spots we have had the fortune to visit.

Waterfall getaway

Perfect property for us. Plenty of room, kayaks, canoes and tons of indoor and outdoor games available. So many hikes and little towns to explore nearby. My teenage daughter loved kayaking Lake Katrine over to the waterfall, it’s hard to get teens doing things outdoors sometimes, but not here. Kathy stopped by briefly to make sure we were doing well, we were. She was friendly and accommodating. We felt very at home. Would stay here again.

Enjoyable Getaway

The house is just as described: very clean, comfortable, well decorated and had everything we could have needed. We visited several nearby towns and enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Culinary Institute of America. An eagle fished in the creek several times and a paddle in the kayak was perfect on a warm afternoon. Kathy thought of everything. Thank you for an enjoyable weekend with friends!

Relaxing getaway

Beautiful setting. Kathy and Sue thought of everything to make our stay easy and stress free. Kathy even checked on us during a bad storm one night to make sure we knew where flashlights were in case we lost power (we didn’t). Good fishing right off the dock, the kids loved the water and it was close to everything we wanted to do.

What a lovely place! Kathy was so welcoming and added some thoughtful touches to our visit, including delicious cinnamon bread from Bread Alone bakery. Delish! We loved taking the kayaks on the Esophus for a paddle. The porch was a perfect place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Property!!

This was wonderful! The back yard was manicured and huge, big enough to play Bocci. The peddle boat was fun, and the kids fished from the dock. The house has foosball and lots of games to keep kids happy. The house isn't air conditioned (there are window units in the bedrooms) but we didn't need it even though it was 89 one day. The house is comfortable and kid friendly. There's so much available to do, although we stayed close because of the pandemic. We did hike and there are lots of options. We will definitely go back!!

The hosts really thought of everything to make guests comfortable. My kids loved being on the water and having access to the paddle boat especially. We adults appreciated all of the thoughtfulness the hosts put into our stay (comfortable beds, updated linens, toys and games available, fresh eggs in the fridge, etc). We also appreciated that they included recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Overall, a cozy and well-appointed house! Would love to come back!

Great for our family!

We chose this property based on proximity to my aunt and uncle who lived nearby in Rosendale. Unfortunately we arrived on an unseasonably hot day but the bedroom air conditioners soon cooled down the bedrooms so we could sleep. In the morning the house was cool and stayed that way for the rest of our visit. The beds were comfortable, linens very nice and the kitchen had everything you could possibly want to whip up a meal for a family. Unfortunately we did not have any time to enjoy the kayaks, but I loved the beautiful view of the water in the morning. We also appreciated the fresh eggs and the cinnamon twist bread our host left us. I highly recommend this house for any family visiting the area.

Great House

Stayed with my Wife and kids, we had a great time. The house was incredibly clean and well maintained. Lovely homely touches all over the place. The property itself was great with good access to local towns of interest. The drive through the neighborhood to get to the house is pretty run down, but the house itself is great and very peaceful.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway!!

This house is near the end of a dead-end road on the edge of a large creek. There are people around, but there is definitely no traffic and and is SO quiet and peaceful (with the constant sound of flowing water as a soothing background). There are restaurants about a mile away, though, and Kingston is only about 15 minutes; so it's not like it's completely isolated though. There were lovely spaces outdoors to sit, but there was also an enclosed porch for a little more warmth and protection from weather if need be (and it still overlooked the water). There were labels and instructions around so we were never unsure of how to turn on a light or where to find things. We did not have children with us, but there were yard games, toddler toys, and an indoor game room with a foosball table and darts so I feel like this would be a great place to stay with kids. My friends and I had a lovely time and would definitely stay here again for a quiet weekend getaway!

Large yard, large bedrooms, comfortable living room and fully equipped kitchen . We take pride in this property and you will find it comfortable, clean and welcoming!

What makes this property unique

Within minutes to activities and towns but in a quiet relaxing location. Relax on the enclosed porch with views of the water or outside on the deck and listen to the small water falls. Property is in a central location within a short drive to HITS, Headless Horseman , Hudson River, Boat Tours, wedding Venues, Train Station, Lots of HIKING and Biking Trails. Relax and venture to several area ski centers within about a 45 minute beautiful drive.
