Erika's place was perfect for our trip to Minnewaska. It was exactly as shown in the photos and described in the listing. Erika was also very responsive and helpful whenever needed. She also had a guidebook for local things to do. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend!

Tucked at the end of a private lane, this home has offered our family a bubble of calm to celebrate birthdays surrounded by nature. Visit when the weather is cool, build a fire, and cuddle up by the hearth with your loved ones. A "hug and hike" with rescue goats at nearby Frederick Farm's Goat Rescue will change your outlook on life, and is an absolute must if you have little ones!
