Esopus Creekfront | Sauna I Hot Tub | Kayaks
We had a wonderful stay at this well-located house in the heart of beautiful Saugerties. The home was spotless, situated right across from the serene frozen lake. Our kids especially enjoyed the arcade games. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Catskill Mtn. Retreat at Belleayre Ski Center
We had a wonderful stay, the location is perfect for skiing at Belleayre and accessing restaurants as well as other activities. The space is very clean and perfectly appointed. Charlie was always proactive at communicating and available if anything arose. 4-Wheel drive is necessary in the winter - snow removal was always very prompt. We had a great stay and would absolutely go back.

Farm-to-Table Retreat on Panther Creek
We loved how quiet and peaceful the location was. We also loved the homey touches- the local books, the honor store out back, the fact that there was the cafe under the apartment. The setting was beautiful and we loved falling asleep to the sound of the brook and the spring peepers!

Joe from Chicago's Pool Hall Barn
Loved this stay! The weather wasn’t great during our time but the place was so cozy and we were able to use the wood stove. We appreciated the fresh baked goods, and all of the other snacks and treats supplied- it was probably the most well stocked airbnb we’ve ever been to. There was plenty of recommendations in the area, in a binder provided. We loved the open floor plan and will definitely return again.

Hudson River Beach House
So peaceful. Clean and relaxing. I already recommended it to somebody.

Lovely Apartment-Great Location-Brook View Lodge
Such a beautiful stay and wonderful hosts! The area surrounding is peaceful and I had done a hike at Kaaterskills Falls which was close in proximity. Ed left some handmade pastries and even had the porch shoveled and our car cleaned off after a snow storm. Will definitely be coming back during the warmer weather!

Classic & Homey 2BD/1BA Fl 2 Apt @ Downtown Albany
It was a lovely place to stay, me and my friends were meeting for the first time and it was a nice place to just hang out and enjoy our time together

Creekside Cottage
Katherine’s Creekside Cottage was a perfect peaceful getaway and I wish we could have stayed longer ! Felt at home the minute we walked through the door .. living room with electric fireplace, beautiful newly renovated kitchen with everything you need, sparkling clean bathrooms with lovely towels and the prettiest bedrooms. There are so many special touches everywhere . The weather wasn’t perfect, but we still spent hours just relaxing on the screened in porch, You won’t want to leave it! Took advantage of Katherine’s recommendations for dinner (she has quite a nice list but we choose Lucy’s Kitchen in Saugerties … just great!) and spent the day in nearby Woodstock, amazing little town. We had no issues whatsoever and almost any question you have can be addressed in the Home Manual she has available. Even so, she was super quick to answer a question I had and definitely wanted to make sure we were comfortable . Don’t hesitate to book this little gem!

Rippleside Retreat - Stay and Relax
The house is extremely comfortable. The open living area is cozy but large with high ceilings and a tv area, dining area and stools at the kitchen bar. We did not feel on top of each other. The gas fireplace is so nice in the winter and gives off heat as well as creates ambiance. The bedrooms are great with very comfortable mattresses and nice linens. Overall adorable cabin in the Catskills right off of 28 so you can easily get to other areas like skiing and dining. We would definitely come back!

Stylish Waterfront Oasis on the Esopus Creek
We had a great stay at Rupert’s house. As other reviewers have stated, there is a train that passes by the house. Each day, it passed 2-3 times but it wasn’t terribly noisy. We never saw the tenant who also lives on the property. We didn’t realize that the tenant’s home was connected to the house we rented. It didn’t bother us but thought I’d share. Rupert was very responsive when we had questions. His home was a wonderful place for us to spend Thanksgiving. There was more than enough space for my family of 5. We especially loved the dining room with the long table and views of the Esopus Creek, which runs right behind the house. Given the weather, we didn’t spend time down there but it was certainly lovely to look at. We would definitely stay there again in the future.

Quiet, Peaceful & Secluded Streamside House,
2nd time staying here. Love the location and charm of the home. Great escape from NYC offering all you need - huge and well stocked kitchen, warm cozy fireplace, and great property/outdoor space.

Modern 4 season lakefront rental
An amazing house for a family stay in the Catskills area. Antonia has designed a beautiful home, with so many unique retro nods and details. The basement is an awesome additional space for everyone to hang out in. The backyard set up is also great- with easy access to the hot tub and a few steps to the lake. 15 min drive to great restaurants and things to do-Loved our stay here!

Birch Creek Mountain House
We had a great time this weekend at Jennifer's place. Everything was clean. The house and the backyard were so spacious. We had four kids and four adults, and everyone found something they loved about this place. The Birch Creek in the backyard was my favorite. It was much bigger than I expected. Drinking coffee in the morning by the bench listening to the creek water flowing was heaven. We enjoyed hiking, walking around the nearby lake, and playing games around the firepit. It was a perfect family vacation.

Charming Home on Esopus Creek
We had a wonderful stay I Saugerties and the house was very comfortable. Just a couple of things to note- the 2 bedrooms are both upstairs and separated by a glass barn door (it does have a shade for privacy) and the second full bath is downstairs. Overall, was a great stay in a beautiful location!

Beautiful Farm Cottage & Majestic Waterfall
Simply beautiful, charming and cozy stay. The waterfall was amazing, it was frozen but I think that made it even more beautiful, its a short hike to the fall and in my 2-day stay I went about 5 times. Even cold plunged in the fall! The wood stove is so toasty and they have an abundance of wood to last all winter. The kitches has literally everything you can think of and you can tell a food lover lives here. There's even binders with tons of recipes that seems to be made throughout decades, super cool. Overall great stay and just what we needed. Highly recommend!
