Lovely 1 bedroom apt. with free parking in Rondout
Had a great stay! Very clean, bigger than we thought it would be, very responsive and friendly host, we would stay here again!

Hidden gem 1 bedroom apartment Main St. Rosendale
Had a great stay — the location is ideal: walkable to a grocery store, coffee shop, and restaurants; private (set back from the street); and peaceful, with views of the Rondout Creek. The apartment is well kept and has a generously sized kitchen, great for cooking. Danylo communicates clearly and was helpful when I needed something. I’d be happy to stay here again. Bonus: Joppenbergh Mountain is just a 2-minute walk away, with trails for hiking, running, and mountain biking, plus a beautiful overlook of the Trestle.

Hunter Mtn. view w/ Water Front 5E
Place was exactly as described The place was beautiful and in the summer time this place would have been perfect for outdoor entertaining. The bed was very comfortable esp the blankets. They were so soft. The place is on the Main Street of hunter. Close by to many Restaurant which were like within 5-10 mins drive. The cinema was within 4 minutes to the house. Hunter mountain resort for snow tubing and skiing was Less than 5 min drive from the home. The kaeterskill falls were within 15 minute drive to the trail. Close to almost everything that we wanted to experience in hunter.

Holland House: Modern Rustic Guest Apartment
This place exceeded our expectations in every way. The highlight was definitely the porch – we spent hours there listening to the birds singing and the gentle sound of the creek. It’s incredibly peaceful and restorative. The space itself is beautifully designed with clean Scandinavian aesthetics that feel both modern and cozy. Everything was immaculately clean, and we loved the thoughtful touches like the small collection of books that made it feel like a home away from home. The location is perfect for nature lovers. There’s a short walk to a creekside trail that’s accessible for all fitness levels – we enjoyed it multiple times during our stay. Our host provided excellent local recommendations that really enhanced our visit. Having the diner downstairs was such a convenience and made our mornings effortless. Great food and no need to venture far for a delicious breakfast. Our host was responsive and clearly cares about providing a top-notch experience.

Joe from Chicago's Pool Hall Barn

From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a peaceful dream tucked away in the mountains. The home was spotless, cozy, and beautifully decorated – every detail felt thoughtful and welcoming. Waking up to the sound of birds and sipping coffee while overlooking the rolling hills was pure serenity.The host, Jane, was incredibly kind, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The little touches like the fresh linens, local guidebooks, and even a basket of snacks – made us feel truly cared for.If you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a peaceful solo retreat, or time with friends in nature, Roxbury Hills offers the perfect setting. We left feeling refreshed, grounded, and already dreaming about our next visit. Thank you for creating such a magical escape, we’ll never forget it.Thank you Jane & Joe. - Jan & Anthony 🧡

Inviting Apartment-Great Location-Brook View Lodge
Ed and Joyce were warm and accommodating (even left us homemade treats!) and very responsive throughout our stay. We so appreciated their help late at night when we had trouble getting in with the keypad! The lodge is wonderfully cozy and homey; bed was sooo comfy and the views from the balcony were such a treat. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Woodstock Historic Artist Estate - The Pond House
No notes, incredible escape even in the pouring rain. The ambience, even down to the little things like walking through the door to classical music, was truly top notch.

Dutch Touch Woodstock Cottage
This is a gem, a peaceful, private place beside a stream behind the big house. The little house is spacious and I sometimes felt inclined to cook during my week long stay, listening to the stream or to music. The bed is very comfortable and there is an air purifier and filtered water. Tuli, the resident dog in the big house is gentle and affectionate. I felt very much at home and hope to stay again.

Rushing Rapids Cottage – a birdwatcher's paradise
beautiful furnishings, a good location, and the outdoor shower was an amazing experience with all of the birdcalls around

Catskill Mountain Cabin Waterfall Retreat
I enjoyed my stay at Gavin and Alison's house in the Catskills. It was a great place to spend a snowy winter weekend in January with my son and two grandchildren. The house is a short drive from various skiing and winter-sports resorts. We were satisfied with the kitchen and other amenities, played board games, and generally had a relaxing time. The hosts were very responsive when we had questions.

Waterfront, outdoor deck with fire pit
What a great place for weekend of relaxation. Although it rained most of the weekend, we made great use of the house and backyard. My kids loved the creek! The grocery store and restaurants are a short drive away as well.

Perfectly set up and spotless. The unit is supplied with everything you could possibly need. By far the best organized, supplied and clean Airbnb we have ever stayed in.

Hiking, fishing,mountain view condo
A beautiful home. Felt comfortable and relaxing. Very well equipped. A nice small outdoor seating area to watch the creek and see wildlife.

Perfect Catskills hiking getaway with fireplace
5 stars, 5 stars, 5 stars!! I would just like to say I’ve stayed in many Air B&Bs before, and this one is by far one of my favorites. The hosts are absolutely amazing. They are proactive in responding and really want you be be comfortable and making sure you have no issues. The price was 100% worth it. I love that they included board games as a part of the space, such a nice touch. The bathrooms and bedrooms were also so clean, and we enjoyed our stay. You can really tell the hosts put a lot of love and care into this place. I can’t say enough good things about them!
