Most unique house I've ever stayed in.
This house has an incredibly eclectic collection of artwork and statues as well as very interesting grounds with lots of seating areas and decks to sit on to enjoy the views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the property manager was very attentive. The layout of the house was very unique, but there are a few drawbacks to the house. We stayed on the third floor which was only accessible by a narrow spiral staircase and it was quite a challenge to get the suitcases up the staircase. The bathroom on the third floor didn't have a functional shower and is very outdated and needs maintenance. There are lots of free-standing statues and busts all around the house which was fine for us but I would worry about small children or dogs running into them and knocking them over. The porches on the house were lovely they have nice outdoor furniture on them and had lovely views. We enjoyed having coffee out on the deck in the morning.The problem is they really need maintenance The deck boards are splintering and the railings are in bad shape. It had a great location since we were going to a wedding in Coxsackie and it was only an 8-minute drive.

Large and Comfortable House in Greene County
This large three floor house accommodated our five family members with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture and beds. There was a multitude of art everywhere you looked. Thomas was very a terrific host who took great care with our needs.

Unique house and quaint location
Very unique house, especially the decor. Spacious. Two wonderful patios, one with a fantastic view of the mountains. Tomas was a fantastic host, even offering to drive us around a few times. We had a nice experience talking to him over breakfast and hearing some of his old stories.

Best place I’ve stayed at
It’s a great home, and the host went above and beyond. He was so nice, welcoming, accommodating, considerate, made sure we knew everything we could in order to have the best stay, & even left a gift for my friend for their birthday (that was the reason we went). Would love to stay there again

Our stay was wonderful. We enjoyed the space the home had to offer and the kids loved playing pool!
The owner Thomas was very accommodating and responded in a timely manner when contacted. He even went to the store to buy us coffee and milk when he found out we didn’t have these items. Late check out was provided.

Amazing house, amazing break.
Tom Garcia is the most gracious host I've ever dealt with in the vrbo universe. He is kind, generous, welcoming and...just like the tomatoes he left for us...sweet. The house was perfect...lots of space for everyone to do their own thing. And we all collected at the end of the day to make dinner in the kitchen and on eat grill and hang in the public space. Fabulous house; great vibe. The pool and lake are great. We used both every day. Looking forward to the next time.
