Fun times with friends
Home was perfect for a group of friends. It was minutes from Plattekill. We had dinner at The Fierce Grizzly one night, I would definitely check it out.

Beautiful historical property in great location
We loved our stay ! The house has a nice set up and we were very comfortable . We cooked all of our meals in the well equipped kitchen , the dining room table sat 10 of us and the bedrooms were perfect for our group of 10. We were not able to ski due to the warm weather but we went on nice walks and on the way home spent time in Woodstock NY which is an hour away . Patricia the host was very nice and easy to communicate with .

Wonderful historic gem!
Our family of 10 (parents, 4 adult kids + partners) all enjoyed a week of winter fun at the John Burroughs homestead. While the skiing wasn’t awesome, the kids were able to spend two days on the icy slopes for some family fun. The location is convenient to several ski resorts, located privately with lovely views of the valley and mountains. The house was very comfortable and accommodated us all. Kids had to work a few days, so WI-FI was important and worked fine. Cell service is limited, which was great with me! Kitchen was well-stocked with pots and pans, plates and silverware. Owners and caretakers were incredibly fast to respond to any needs.

Fabulous house!
This rental feels like someone’s actual home. It has literally everything you want or need. We stayed there for an extended weekend for a wedding that was close by. Our party consisted of 5 adults and 3 kids. The house is the perfect mix of a historic home and modern renovation. The attention to detail is amazing (for example, all monogrammed towels and sheets from Pottery Barn). We would definitely stay in this home again if we have another event in the Roxbury area. Thanks so much for providing the perfect environment for our stay!
