Property was at a great location. The home was very charming and comfortable. I gave it a four star rating because there were a few maintenance issues, the most important one was the front step railing was very loose and wobbly. That being said, we had a very pleasant stay
Perfect location for a trip to the Catskills, near some great hiking and popular spots (like Phoenicia Diner). We appreciated that it felt very secluded and private, even so near to the town. We also brought our dog and she had a lovely time.The space is clean, well-equipped, and cozy, and the host was very responsive before and during the stay. Highly recommend this stay!
This house was grossly misrepresented in the listing, and had signs of neglect and broken or open door locks, which presented a safety issue and we unfortunately had to cut our stay short. Very disappointing.
This cute, comfortable cottage is a great home base to explore the Catskills in all directions. While we did not cook on this trip, the kitchen is well stocked with kitchen ware. The washer/dryer was a great help to refresh clothes for flying home.
Clean, and they have many kitchen items you will need.The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom worked well. We liked the hot tub. They could use coffee cups, and a new spatula.
Not anything like that is pictured .Definitely needs an update the bedrooms were ok but we paid alot to stay here couldn't take a shower as the water was either cold or so hot it burned you we spent alot of time chasing bugs that came in around the air conditioning that was taped in to the windows and the patio and furniture if you want to call it that either was so disgusting or so dirty you could not sit on it not to mention the pile of broken stuff Can not explain how embarrassing it was to bring my friends here and thanks so much to Verbo support for nothing we won't be using them again
Very cute place. Charming and rustic. Well stocked. Private with large deck and hottub. Very comfortable, thoroughly enjoyed our atay. Property .anager was very accommodating
If I could give this stay 0 stars, I would. We arrived for our 4 PM check-in and were initially happy with the property. We explored the grounds and checked the hot tubâit was working, though there was some sediment at the bottom. After leaving for dinner in Woodstock, we returned around 8 PM to find signs that someone had been on the property. An unfamiliar item was left by the hot tub, a basement light was on, and most concerning, we discovered the basement door couldnât be locked.We called the â24/7â property managerâno answer, no return call. I messaged the host and didnât get a response for hours. As two younger women, we felt unsafe and chose to leave and stay at a nearby hotelâat twice the cost.The host later claimed there were no signs of intrusion and refused a refund, even accusing us of lying. I have video proof of the unlockable door. Also, the listing falsely claims itâs located in Phoenicia, which it is not. On top of that, there was black mold in the shower.After reading reviews on other platforms, itâs clear this wasnât an isolated incident. Other guests in 2022 also mentioned the basement door not locking and feeling unsafe, including issues with neighbors harassing guests in the hot tub area.While you canât control who approaches your property, you can ensure guestsâ safety with secure locks. Itâs unacceptable that this hasnât been addressed. Iâve always had 5-star reviews as a guestâitâs disappointing this host didnât do the right thing.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cozy and charming cabin. The location is perfect for the plethora of local hikes and convenient for small town amenities and other quaint Catskills features. We enjoyed the Phoenician diner and you are a short drive from Woodstock, Kingston and many other great Catskills areas. We unwound in the hot tub after long hikes and settled in for cozy nights with the working fireplace (lucky for us since there was a burn ban prohibiting outdoor fires). Our dog and us were comfortable and very pleased with our stay and recommended it to friends.
The cabin was a cozy stop for my partner, our dog, and me during a week-long road trip. Beautifully decorated, it featured nice touches like a hot tub and fireplace which were great after a day of hiking. We enjoyed some delicious handmade pot pies from a nearby farmer's market store. We also hiked trails that were within a reasonably short distance from the cabin. Something to note, the cabin does needs maintenance. A light switch was missing its cover in a bedroom exposing capped electrical wires, carpenter ants were in the kitchen, dead bugs and a few mouse droppings were on the window sills, and the kitchen sink sprayed water everywhere due to a missing screen. Also, the hot tub was challenging to get in/out of since there wasn't a railing or steps, and the lighting on the back porch at night was poor.While we appreciated the cabin's charm, we wouldn't return due to the needed TLC.
We had a lovely stay relaxing in the hot tub and by the fire place. As other reviews have noted, the location listed on Vrbo is about 5 miles from the location. But still convenient to Phoenicia and nearby hiking. The host was very responsive and all communications were clear.
We had a nice stay here. We enjoyed the fire pit every night. The hot tub was nice but hard to get in and out of. If you have any physical limitations it can be tricky. The railway bikes nearby were a lot of fun.
The house was charming with comfortable beds and a cozy living room. The outside furniture should be replaced as my dog got her leg caught in the wrought iron table leg.
As for the location, I was disappointed that we were not at the advertised location, this property was located 6 miles west of Phoenicia in Shandaken. I had made various plans and had to adjust for the extra distance. We did not use the hot tub or fire pit. The decor is very cozy and comfortable, however don't attempt to play any of the records there as the record player is for show only.
