My family and I had a lovely stay at Oscar’s Pond Estate! The house was clean and inviting, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The surrounding area provided beautiful views as we enjoyed the back deck and yard, complete with a hot tub and fire pit. I highly recommend the nearby Art Omi sculpture park if you stay here. It was a perfect outing for our 2 families with 4 kids ages 2 to 9. The owner was incredibly warm and responsive and provided clear and easy check-in instructions along with a guidebook which detailed anything else about the house we needed to know. We would gladly stay here again should we go back to the gorgeous Hudson Valley!
