A wonderful experience
My husband and I spent over 3 months at Letizia and Scott' property while waiting for construction to start in our NYC apt (1h45 drive). We enjoyed every minute of it! The house, the neighborhood, the overall area (the gunks).
The house is farm-like with a wonderful porch (and BBQ) to take in the sun, moon light, and a fireplace for cooler moments. Being there from Sept to Dec we were lucky to experience 3 seasons, from glorious fall to 16'' snow! The house is decorated with a lot of art, unique furniture and objects. It has the distinction of not being a standard rental (a lot of character including farm-like doors and a magnificent staircase) but also is perfectly organized for tenants. No clutter and many thoughtful details (large supply of wood; well equipped kitchen; records, cds; hiking guides, etc.). Letizia and Scott respond very quickly to any request and will do anything to make sure guests are comfortable.
It was spotless clean when we arrived.
When we first visited the house (before renting for 3 months) Scott and Letizia took us for a magical hike right behind their property (Bear hill preserve) and ends at a stone overlook of the valley which we redid many times. At that time we had not realized how special the neighborhood is, an enclave with no passing-through roads; one can take a walk with no traffic; populated enough not to feel isolated but a lot of much preserved nature and quiet! It had been a long time since I had experienced such quietness; many country houses seem to be plagued with lawn mowing; leaves or snow blowing, no such thing in that neighborhood. Most houses are unique with a mix of wood and stones. There is a charming church with another overlook. From all windows of the house you do not see any house; and at each time of the day the lower floor gets a beautiful light. The first floor Master bedroom and "great room" are vast and beautifully decorated; they get plenty of light.
We used the "great" room as a guest bedroom when need be as the children room requires to walk through the master bedroom. The second bedroom and bathroom are small but perfectly adequate. Master bedroom bed is very comfortable.
The area has many beautiful hikes. We recommend red trail of the Shawangunk (8 min drive from house) or Minnewaska lake or Mohonk preserve many splendid walks (40 min). Sam's point is also nearby but many trails were closed due to covid. We loved our stay and hope to be back!
