Property is overall quite clean, kitchen was well equipped, kudos to extra touches like popcorn packets for snacking. Host was also very reachable, and was willing to provide extras like new batteries for mosquito nets. We felt like we had the lake to ourseleves...can't beat the tranquility. One thing to note was that there were too much insects in the evening for us to use the balcony fully....but it comes with the location and the season I guess. Overall, would highly recommend this place.

The pictures don’t do it justice—you truly have to experience this place in person. Hands down, this is the nicest rental I’ve ever booked—not just because it was spotless, but because it’s truly one of a kind. The views of the wide, peaceful Hudson are absolutely breathtaking (and you're not on the train side, so you're literally right on the water).The beautifully landscaped garden and expansive outdoor space feel like a private sanctuary. With cozy furniture, a firepit, and thoughtful touches everywhere, it’s easy to forget the outside world exists. And while it feels like an escape, you still have all the modern comforts—from strong Wi-Fi to smart technology.If you’re looking for a romantic couples’ getaway that’s all about peace, privacy, and next-level relaxation, this is it. Book it now—before it lands on all the “best of” lists.

Ms. Shannon’s property is very clean, beautiful, and peaceful with an amazing view right by the Hudson River. You will get to watch the sunset and sunrise on your bed. The downtown is only 5 -minute drive and local people are very friendly. I had a great time there with my family and will definitely come back when I have a chance.

Waterfront Retreat says it all

We enjoyed our short stay and would book this property again. If mother nature is on your side, 2 nights is too short of a stay to truly enjoy the view and water amenities. If your party includes someone who enjoys fishing, make sure you bring a rod or you will get the 'sad face' and 'guilt' for denying them the ability to lose lures.

Great place to stay!

I loved our stay. The apartment was beautiful inside and out. It had all the amenities you could possibly need plus extra thoughtful items. The view was spectacular and the access to the main road that leads to all the tourist attractions was so convenient. Our hostest was very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this place to friends.
