Clean property; Excellent communication
The property was immaculate from a cleanliness perspective. Beautiful inside and out. It was also very conveniently located to everything we needed.
In addition, the property manager was amazingly responsive to any questions. He would respond in minutes of asking him any questions. He checked with us to ensure we enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed.

Great stay!
The surrounding area is beautiful including farms and mountains! Under 20 minutes to beautiful Minnewaska Lake and visitor center with hiking. Multiple things to do inside and outside the house for everyone in your group. Great stay!
The outside amenities were awesome! We enjoyed the hot tub, swimming pool, grill, and seating area. Inside was very nice. We appreciated the 3 bedrooms upstairs. There isn’t really a fourth “bedroom” but the lower level has a couple of couches. The induction stove was easy to use, once we figured out to use the right pans. :-). We would definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful, "Better than the pictures"
Our group of 4 adults spent 3 nights in Ezequiel's beautiful property. It was cozy, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the lovely, tranquil outdoor space, and we had easy access to the attractions we were there to visit (Mohank Nature Preserve, CIA -Culinary Institute of America, Storm King Sculpture Park, etc.). Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.
