This is an amazing property! Great for large families, with multiple spaces to relax or congregate. Between the pool and the crabbing, our kids and their cousins spent so much time together. That was the greatest part. From Bald Eagles nesting in a tree right in the backyard, amazing sunrises and sunsets, and fires on the back patio, this home has it all.
Beautifully situated property with a gorgeous water view, plenty of shade around the yard, and so many places to sit and relax! We were a group of 17 ladies, a mix of family and friends, for our annual Ladies Weekend, and everyone had plenty of room to enjoy themselves - yoga, reading, walking, sipping wine by the dock. It was a lovely getaway!
We had wonderful time at the house. Location was perfect and the pool was great hit with everyone. We rented a speedboat for 2 days which was delivered at the dock.There was plenty of space for 20 people. Plan on renting this home again.
We enjoyed this beautiful house and property! We loved being able to kayak and paddle board right from the dock. The house was really spacious and well equipped. Loved the game room, pool, hot tub, and screened-in porch! A few minor negatives: WiFi wasn't great, pool heater wasn't working so the water was pretty cold, and one of the showers wasn't usable due to a major leak. Over all, though, this place was ideal for our large family, and we would stay here again.
This house had it all!! huge pool, awesome grounds, and great views of the water. However, the property was FULL of flies and mosquitos! I usually don't mind if they are outside but that was not the case here. The flies were all of over the inside of the house (kitchen mainly) and made eating a terrible experience. Plus, we all have nasty bites from these insects and they itch and are painful.
The property was great, plenty of room to spead out. The swiming pool was quite the highlight. Sunset views over the river! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
This property offered a truly magnificent stay. We were delighted by its gorgeous and clean environment, the peaceful atmosphere, and the impressive array of amenities. Finding a place that could comfortably accommodate our group of 20 for a two-day family and friends trip with a private indoor pool, hot tub, billiard table, table tennis, kayaks, and a private deck exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were spacious and spotless upon arrival, and we appreciated the ample supply of linens, towels, and kitchenware.However, the host's responsiveness was a significant disappointment. We reported a malfunctioning grill on our first night, expecting a prompt resolution given our large group needing to cook, but were told someone would come the following day. Additionally, the hot tub and pool heating were not working, and we couldn't locate the hairdryer. Despite multiple attempts to contact the host on our second day, we received no response. Improved communication would have greatly enhanced our experience.
Very large nicely appointed house with lots of space for large groups. Unfortunately the pool heater was out of service but they gave us a rebate for the inconvenience. One major deficiency is the internet/WIFI with is satellite and somewhat slow and dropped frequently . If you need streaming for work or other activities you might be frustrated.
October 11-14, 2024, we rented the âWilloughbyâ for a family reunion. Let me start out by saying this home is amazing. It looks exactly as pictured based on the website photos. It was even better than I expected. If you are considering this property, I highly recommend booking it! Believe me when I say the Willoughby is a rare gem. The location of the home is perfect and extremely private. The grounds are pristine and the view of the water is breathtaking. The home sits on the Hudson River with a long and spacious dock for fishing or catching crabs. Kayaks were provided and several members of our family took advantage of water activities. Access to the river was fabulous. There were a few boards missing from the dock as a storm had come in prior to our arrival. It was not a big deal and it did not keep us from enjoying the dock or water activities. I did notify our guest contact, Anthony, to make him aware. Anthony, was a fantastic guest contact and very responsive and available to answer questions. Anthony was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early to get settled and prepare for our 4 pm guests arrival. This was a big relief for us.
The home, as you drive up the long driveway, is spectacular! As you enter the home itself it only gets more impressive. The inside is gorgeous and the rooms and furnishings are high quality. The home has an old-time charm and is very classic. It is a pleasant, welcoming, and comfortable environment. I loved the
of this
We had a family of 16 people stay at the house and had such a fun time! There house was spacious and we had plenty of room! We used the crab traps (and caught 16 crabs!!) and also used kayaks. We all used indoor pool, game room and just all the rooms around the house. The dining room table was amazing and we ate dinners as a family every night! We would totally do this again!
This was an amazing vacation house for our big family. We had 17 people and it fit everyone comfortably. The pictures donât do this place justice. We 100% recommend and would love to come back!
Overall great place. Very quiet. Only suggestion would be that another bathroom on the second floor would be appreciated as there is only one bedroom with a private bath.
every thing was awesome but two problems one minor and one major.The minor was the wifi was spotty the major there was bugs in the room with the three beds.Mostly centered on one.Just letting you guys know so that you can look into to it.
Spent a week at the property with three generations and multiple families. Aside from picking up groceries, we found little reason to leave the property.
Btwn the waterfront dock, the tree shade the screened in porch, the sun deck, the indoor pool and many living areas, everyone found a place to enjoy to be as relaxed or active as they liked.
We had a great time. Children and their parents spent a lot of time in the surprisingly large pool. Some adults chose the hot tub and the most active members of our group were paddleboarding and kayaking in the river. Severl people went hiking at Blackwater, and a few of us just sat on the screened in porch.
Pictures don't do this amazing place justice!
We all had a wonderful time with loads of space and plenty of attractions! Add to that attention to details and plentiful amenities.
We all just wanted to stay more and more!
We extremely enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful, kitchen was well equipped and the view was spectacular, especially with the Eagles that have nested on the 32 acre property. However was disappointed in the fact that the fire places were not in working conditions and rooms should have been number. We enjoy kayaking up and down the bay and taking it all in. I would definitely stay again.
We stayed with our friends over the New Year. The property was big and easily accommodated our group. It was well furnished and had enough and more towels, cutlery, etc. for our group. The property is well secluded with excellent privacy and water views.
Our group really enjoyed the stay at this property.
