We had a wonderful time attending the New York Sheep and Wool festival, homebasing at this great property. Location was great and accommodations were clean, well stocked, and in a wonderful setting. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!

Great place for a group visit! We were in town for a wedding and the location was perfect. Very comfortable beds. Enjoyed a morning kayak and sitting in the yard overlooking the river.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this Airbnb in Saugerties, NY. From start to finish, everything about the trip exceeded our expectations. The house had so much to offer, and we made unforgettable memories with friends swimming in the creek, kayaking, fishing, and even grilling by the water. The host went above and beyond to make our stay special—even retrieving a paddle board for us since one wasn’t originally listed, which really showed the level of care and thoughtfulness. The amenities were fantastic. We relaxed in the hot tub and sauna, gathered around the fire pit at night, and had a blast playing corn hole. It truly felt like there was something for everyone to enjoy. We also spent time exploring the area—our group loved hiking to Kaaterskill Falls and strolling through the local shops and dining spots in town. This was hands down the best trip we’ve taken in a long time. It brought out a sense of fun and joy that reminded us of being kids again. Highly recommend

This is such an amazing place! I stayed with my family and we absolutely loved everything about it! They had everything we could need. The kitchen had all the essentials and there was even coffee, tea and sugar for us in the pantry. We stayed with our dogs, and they provided us with a bowl, baggies and treats. They also gave us a complimentary bottle of wine as a welcome gift! The house was very clean and organized. I loved the game area! Filled with amazing books and fun board games to play! We spent our nights paying at the arcade and utilizing the other amenities. We also enjoyed our time kayaking, relaxing at the sauna and hot tub, and enjoying the barbecue. We absolutely loved our stay so much and would love the come back! It would have been nice to have a blender

One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at! We were in Saugerties for the weekend for a wedding, and this home was the perfect place for our group to stay. From booking to checkout, Lillian and Shannon were incredibly thoughtful and attentive, checking in to make sure everything was just right throughout our stay. The home was spotless and fully stocked with all the essentials, along with arcade games to enjoy when we had some downtime. We especially enjoyed spending time in the backyard, relaxing in the hot tub and sauna, and winding down by the fire pit on one of the nights. It was a really nice weekend getaway. The location couldn’t be better, right across from the Diamond Mills hotel and just a short walk to Main Street, which made everything super convenient. If you're visiting Saugerties, this place is a must-book. I’m already looking forward to staying here again on my next trip!

We had a fantastic stay! The host was extremely communicative and made everything easy from start to finish. The house was spotless, well-stocked, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location on the lake was absolutely beautiful — peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We had a blast and would love to come back again next year!

We loved our stay. We were out and about exploring the Hudson Valley and looked forward to returning every afternoon to relax, kayak, hot tub and have dinner on the porch. We would definitely stay again!

Absolutely Perfect Getaway! We had an amazing stay at this lakeside house! I came with my wife and our two kids, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The house is a dream — beautifully maintained, high quality linen, fully equipped with every detail a guest could possibly need, and the owners were incredibly responsive and kind from start to finish. Having a barbecue by the lake in the evening, during sunset, was memorable! The lake access is unbeatable! We used the kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and enjoyed peaceful moments on the water every day. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind in the evenings, and we had so much fun with the mini arcade — our kids loved it (and so did we!) - Thanks for the links, Lilian, definitely buying to my home as well. The outdoor barbecue area was fantastic, and we had several delicious meals while enjoying the view. Everything in the house is thoughtfully arranged, and it’s clear that the hosts care deeply about providing a five-star experience. We felt right at home the entire time and didn’t want to leave. If you’re looking for the perfect family getaway spot, this is it. We used every single amenity and loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to come back!

Lillian and Shannon are phenomenal! Very responsive and in a timely manner. My family and I created memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend having your morning coffee on the balcony looking over the water while the birds are singing. Pure bliss! Their attention to detail and hospitality make you feel right at home. The house is very clean and well maintained. I would definitely book this home again.
