Bill and Yinting are wonderful hosts. They met us at the property to show us around and you definitely get the feeling that their home is your home. I loved kayaking in the pond, hiking in the woods behind the house, the fire pit, and the large kitchen table for games. The TV's and voice-activated lights, pinball machine, etc. are awesome amenities. Thank you so much to our hosts for an amazing stay.

This property and house were immaculately clean upon arrival and plenty of room for our 14 person party. Bill and Yinting were incredibly kind and generous! Bill was also a clear communicator making it very easy to plan the trip and organize. I would highly recommend this property for your stay!

Perfect Stay

Went up with a bunch of friends and the trip couldn't have gone better. Pond was filled with fish and a lot of room for activities throughout the property including the shooting range, hiking, firepits, etc. The owners were very accommodating and very responsive with any questions we had. Check in was a breeze and you will definitely see us back here in the future.

The beautifully done house is surrounded by its own acreage and also borders Devil’s Hopyard. We had our lab with us and he enjoyed long walks and exploring. The decks overlooking the beautiful pond and bird life were ideal for relaxing. My son also enjoyed archery on the shooting range. The hosts are wonderful and the house was meticulously cared for. We hope to go back!

Bill and Yinting are the greatest hosts!

Everything at this place is amazing I dont even know where to start! Firstly Bill and Yinting are the best everything we could possibly need they provided and more! The views are incredible and inside the home is also incredible with tons of space for big groups (We had 8 in ours). Overall we would 100% stay again and thank you Bill for all the hospitality!

Amazing!

We rented this property for ourselves and family to stay in for my son’s wedding at nearby Smith Farms and Gardens. (Highly recommended for a wedding venu). The hosts were so welcoming, showed us around property and made us feel very comfortable. Everything was pristine, very clean, comfortable, and we were welcomed with a tray of delicious croissants! Property was beautiful, our teens loved the pond that was equipped with everything from paddle boats to paddle boards. They even welcomed our dog. We will be back to stay and we highly recommend!

From the first time we showed interest, the hosts made us feel welcomed. We booked the prioerty for our family and to host a wedding venue. We travelled from out of state and didnt know what to expect for an outdoor New England wedding in November. The property, house, amenities, ans hosts went above and beyond until the very end! Thank you so much for making a special day (and time) so special. I highly recommend considering this property for any large occassions. It comfortably slept all our guests and had all the little "extras" such as micro USB chargers next to the beds and couch, smart home controlled by Alexa, radiant heated floors, and on and on.
