Beyond our expectations!

God truly blessed us in leading us to this listing back in January, 5 months ahead of our trip. The grounds, the location, the accommodations, everything. We were there for a memorial service for our brother-in-law, which also meant a huge family gathering! Every night we were thankful for our own haven of peace and quiet.

Weekend in New York

The studio was perfect, had everything we needed and a well supplied kitchen for cooking if that’s your thing. Also had a few extra nice touches like the toiletries, k cups, lotion, sewing kit, snack basket, etc…which I haven’t seen available at other places we’ve stayed. We brought our kayaks and there are some great places nearby, recommend Round Lake, it was awesome. The Towels and linens supplied were of very nice quality as well which is a small touch that goes a long way. Very nice hosts and it was nice to meet their super friendly pup. Highly recommend staying here.

Nice studio apartment

Great place for short stays. The owners were very hospitable and accommodating. Nicely furnished and many amenities you don’t normally find with these type of rentals. Would definitely recommend this place.

Comfortable stay in a cute studio

The studio is exactly as pictured, very charming and cozy, set up nicely and well-equipped with kitchen items, bathroom items, iron/ironing board, etc. The hosts were friendly, easy to get in touch with and answered all of our questions. One thing that travelers should be aware of is the freight train tracks that are pretty close to the BnB...a train comes through routinely in the middle of the night making a loud rumbling sound and honking its horn. It's over after a few minutes, but something to be mindful of for light sleepers! That being said, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
