10/10 Excellent

The site on the lake and the view were amazing. The house was very nice as well. We enjoyed being able to visit the Cole House and Oleana, Frederick Church's amazing house.There were some small issues that kept it from being perfect. The upstairs bathroom sink drain was not working well. Some pots and pans needed a good brillo cleaning. The couch was very low. I could have used a wire brush for the grill. One of the upstairs beds was a bit uncomfortable. All minor problems but they did add up in an otherwise beautiful spot.

Perfect girls weekend getaway

Six of us stayed at the Sleepy Hollow Lake in Athens for a girls trip and it was the PERFECT location! Not far from town, amazing views, and a hot tub overlooking mountains. Diana’s communication during our stay were top notch. Would love to stay again!

Great Little Getaway

A perfect little getaway on a beautiful lake. The back deck was wonderful to sit out on, relax, and take in the view. Super easy to get over to Hudson for the day and do some antiquing. Diane was very responsive and super easy to work with. I will say make sure you follow her directions to get there. Two of our three parties made it fine, but I was taken to the vacant lot on the other side of the lake by my GPS. We had a very enjoyable weekend at the lake :)

Total Relaxation & Care

The property truly did exceed expectations. Starting with the view of the lake from the deck and the hot tub, to actually having a dock on the lake that one could sit upon and relax. The gas fireplace, the large screen TV, solid Wi-fi, a small but very solid kitchen, the view of the lake from inside the home, Sonos bluetooth speaker, open floor space living room and of course the hot tub. As someone who has rented places before there was an internet to rent from, I have been in many properties. While for the most part everything goes smoothly. Every now and then, things happen. Power goes out due to a storm, flooding occurs due to a storm or clogged line and the list goes on. While these things can be upsetting, I recognize that it is part of the high price of home ownership. Things happen. The question is, how does the owner or property manager handle it when it does goes wrong? After all it is easy to have a good time, when everything is going well. But what about when things do not go well? It is for this reason that I would highly recommend this property. I had many things go wrong, but at each turn, Diana was instantly available and promptly resolved the issue. No muss, no fuss. It was handled and handled quickly. Even more than handling it, she was always pleasant and reassuring. I know I felt as though my constant calls were annoying her. Yet at no point did I hear that in her voice. It was always pleasant and reassuring that things would be handled. This is a quality that is rare, and what truly made my stay here enjoyable. The properties we rent may be amazing, but in the end for most of them, they are amazing because they are infused with the owners' essence. It creates a vibe that all would be well. Thanks to Diana it was. And then some. I look forward to returning in the future.
