We had a great stay at this lovely house in Gardiner. The main living floor is elevated (by about 5 steps) which provides nice clean views in the treetops. The backyard set up was lovely (bring bugspray) – with a designer pool and the most relaxing hot tub. Kitchen was well equipped and bedrooms were comfortable. Host was incredibly responsive. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

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.
