Avis Cozy Catskills Farmhouse with Lake Views!

No yard. no water view through the trees. the busy highway was 20 feet from the front door. Heard traffic all night. Not clean. Communication very poor with owner. Check in was supposed to be at 3 pm. Didn’t get code to the door until almost 6pm.

On the pictures it look like a morden and clean place. Reality old place with some makeup, very dusty, bed clothing realy smelly and dusty and full mice!

Well the reason for the stay was to recouperate from a recent heart attack, we were looking for something tucked away in the woods, away from houses and traffic, with lots of property to walk around. Unfortunately we got neither, the house was on a busy road with houses right next door and the land went back 10 feet tops, the pictures were very diseving. The house was very nice but the location is what was important to us.

The property is further than listed from all locations in driving time and it is across from the reservoir but you cannot see or access. The property is directly on a 55 MPH road with regular traffic. One neighbor, with outside flood lights and 4 big dogs. (this was good or it would have been very dark. and a bit creepy with the abandoned restaurant on the other side) The house has been renovated with a nice big screen TV and large leather sectional, oddly situated for viewing. New stove, refrigerator and microwave. The cleaning service is wanting, they never clean under the beds, sofa and all the windows had dead flies or ladybugs on them. This house has bare minimum of supplies, bring everything except trash bags. The pots/pans, non-stick are all scratched and the coating has been compromised rendering them all unusable. No washer dryer which is ok for short stays only. I booked nearly 3 weeks, couldn't wash the 6 six towels they left or the only sheets on the beds. No closets, hangers. House sleeps 8, put up some hooks for coats etc!. No wine glasses or wine bottle opener, just the absolute basics and mostly plastic. In closing they have AC units in two living room windows, poorly installed and extremely drafty, you can view the curtains blowing. I wouldn't stay here again and I left the house two days early, cleaner than when I arrived.
