Nova York: pousadas

Meghan's place was beautiful, cozy, and peaceful. The house, property, and backyard, including lake, were pristine. All the prototypical trappings of a cabin in the Catskills were there: rustic construction, immediate access to nature, homey interior decorations. Meghan was a kind and responsive host, even allowing a late checkout. She provided a rundown of house rules, amenities, hikes, restaurants, and nearby entertainment before I even arrived, allowing me to better plan my stay. The area was beautiful and just a quick jaunt from NYC. I hope to come again with friends. Would recommend this place. 11/10. 5 stars.

Melissa’s place is lovely - very cozy, private, and has everything we could need for a weekend! The location is quiet and a short drive to Cornell and IC. Melissa was very friendly, gave us some much appreciated flexibility with the check in time, and greeted us upon our arrival to make sure all was well. Highly recommend!

My husband and 2 year old stayed at Ellen’s barn for the weekend. The space was very big, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent for exploring the area, we didn’t spend much time in the barn as we spent much of our day exploring. Would highly recommend Ellen’s place!

This house was the perfect place for our family get together. We were able to use both dwelling and socially isolate while indoors. The grounds are extensive and nicely cared for. There were plenty of gathering spots outdoors where family could gather comfortably while maintaining distance. These are cray times, but this property was well suited for our family needs. The garden is gorgeous and there was plenty of room to spread out for a softball game or badminton, but intimate enough to find a nice corner to read or just relax. The location was very good as well. It was a short distance to the walkway over the Hudson (30 min) and to Lake Minnewaska State Park (40 min). This was our first trip to Hudson Valley but will not be our last.

Rosemary and Ed were great hosts. My brother and I stayed here before a trail running race because her home is so close to the trailheads in Beacon. Rosemary knows the Beacon area really well and had great recommendations, and we loved the views of the Hudson from her house. We'd stay here again next time we're in town!

Leo and Michelle were very responsive with any questions we had, and even reached out to offer us an early check in. The location was close enough to our places of interest, while still being slightly rural. The place looked just like the pictures and we felt right at home. We will stay there again when we return!

We had a lovely time at Blythe's place. The house was clean, cozy and so close to Bellayre mountain, which was perfect for our ski trip. Would definitely stay there again!

The place was beautiful inside & out. Easy entry per email instructions. Lots of room for all of our family. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Appliances were new. Washer & dryer was convenient to use also. Bathrooms very clean & stocked. Property & view was breathtaking. We would definitely return again..

Best value! Very nicely uniquely decorated lovely house with many interesting antique Ray collected . Clean and comfortable. Host Ray is the nicely host I ever had. Not only he got up very early to prepare delicious breakfast for my family when I had to leave the place early to catch a skiing lesson at Okemo, he also prepared the pit fire for us after he saw my daughter trying to pick up items for s'more making when we ran into each other coincidentally at the nearby grocery store. I will highly recommend Ray's unit for anyone who visit the area. Thanks Ray for your top notch hospitality!!

This stay turned out to be the highlight of our vacation which started in Vermont. We booked a night with Jerry to get some rest on the way home. The location was minutes away from Lake Ontario and a very nice little town. The house and our room were spotless and decorated with the most charming furniture. Jerry met us with a huge smile and open arms. I can't say I have met a more friendly person. Breakfast was over the top. The surrounding neighborhood was filled with lighthouses and stunning walks along the water. This is a place where we will visit for vacation next time. The restaurants, apple orchards and parks were outstanding. What an amazing find. Thank you for the opportunity to find a new location to vacation at.

A dreamy South Hamptons getaway!! Superb location to explore the village, venture to the beach, or simply relax on the front porch. Jayne has perfected the bed & breakfast experience in her warm, historic home & made our stay one we won’t forget! Hope to be back. Thanks Jayne!

I can't recommend this enough. Susan is really great. Free to site see , meditate, write or read. The perfect environment. You'll feel right at home in the country.

We had a wonderful experience staying here! Tina was incredibly welcoming and even provided us with a complimentary breakfast, which was a really thoughtful touch. We also really appreciated the great selection of books and board games—it made the stay feel even more like home. Everything was exactly as described, and the stay was quiet and relaxing. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and well-kept place to stay. Highly recommend and we’re looking forward to visiting again!

Chalet Whiteface was exactly what my boys and I were looking for to facilitate a weekend of hiking in ADK. Allison is an excellent host: very accommodating, focused on making sure that we were comfortable, and always up for a chat. Her place has a cozy feel to it, beds were clean and comfortable, and satisfying breakfasts were served in a comfy lodge common area. The food, drink, and live music (Saturday) at the pub provided the perfect end to a long day of beautiful fall hiking. This is the place to go if you're looking to be hosted by another human being, not a corporation. Stayed here last fall, will be returning next fall.

A beautiful farm on a high, open ridge a few miles north of Bainbridge. Renee has created a warm and welcoming space in the two upstairs bedrooms. When I arrived, I was welcomed by Renee's sister Maryanne, a beekeeper with all kinds of fascinating observations about the land they live on.

The house was lovely and John was very responsive to my texts. When we arrived, the caretaker, Raphael, was absolutely amazing. He was super friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was wonderful, and he was kind enough to bring us water and coffee while we sat in the parlor. The tub in the grey room was amazing an the walk around the property was nice also. 10/10 will recommend!

Kathleen was a pleasure to work with and spend time with. We were there in “off season” and we enjoyed having her spend time with us at breakfasts. They were doing some upgrades to the house but it did not affect our stay at all. It will be really nice when it is completed soon.

Our stay with Priscilla in the farmhouse was wonderful. The room we stayed in was very spacious with a big bed and several very comfy chairs. Priscilla greeted us in a very friendly manner and showed us all around and gave us recommendations for dinner. She was available to us for whatever we needed. We had two incredible breakfasts during our stay. Her avocado toast, which she was trying for the first time, was the best that I have had! On day number two we had delicious chicken sausage and blueberry pancakes, along with fresh fruit and orange juice and coffee. Once again, delicious. I grew up in a rural area so staying at this farmhouse on a rural road brought back many memories for me. The peace and the quiet was incredible….. And yet… You don’t have to go far to get to major roads or delicious food. On our last night, we went to Stacy‘s Scratch Kitchen in Broad Albin. Don’t miss this one! We gave it an 11 out of 10. 😊 Thank you, Priscilla, for everything!

This house is truly as magnificent as the pictures. Gorgeous architecture, beautifully decorated with so many unique details. Somehow the design struck a perfect balance of elegance and comfort. Squeaky clean and well stocked, it was perfect for our family vacation. We took a few scenic walks and enjoyed the short, beautiful drive to Niagara falls. Thanks for a fantastic stay!!!

This property and its location in the Hamptons is perfect. And Monika goes long past the extra mile to make you feel properly “hosted”. Beyond that, the AirBnB review character limit prevents me from doing justice to how truly extraordinary Monika is as a host or how equally wonderful the property is to experience. Sufficed to say, this was the best AirBnB experience we have ever had anywhere, period, full stop. We will absolutely be back.

We stayed in a room at 16 Elm for our anniversary. The room and house were exactly as described - beautiful, clean, and quiet. The location was great, perfect for walking to get a cup of coffee in the morning. It was convenient to the wineries, Taughannock Falls, and Ithaca. We took advantage of many of Jes' suggestions for things to do and places to eat. We would definitely come back here and highly recommend 16 Elm to anyone looking for a romantic retreat in the beautiful Finger Lakes!

Catalpa House is exactly what you want in a small town retreat; comfortable bedding, well chosen amenities, superb breakfast, accommodating but not intrusive hosts, lovely common areas with local literature and current periodicals. It doesn't get better.

We throughly enjoyed our 4 days. We felt invited, valued, and heard. We were so interested in the decor. Our eyes darted from collectable to architectural designs. We stayed in the Carriage House which was spotlessly clean, large and inviting. Coffee and breakfast were the best. We loved meeting the other guests daily, great conversation was had by all. Most of all, we felt welcome as guests and if our travels take us to Ithaca again, we will certainly stay with Madeline and Kenn again!

Great place to stay. Walkable to most everything in Warwick. Lots of room to spread out and the bathroom was quite large. You have to walk through the front of the restaurant to reach the loft and the restaurant staff was always very welcoming upon our return. We had a slight hiccup at check-in, but Gabriela was extremely responsive. Definitely recommend.
