We love visiting Hudson valley area and staying at Cornwall Bridge property each year. We have been visiting this home for the past 8 yrs. So this house feels like our second home. We visit Macedonia Park,visit Kent Waterfalls etc. Thank you for sharing your warm and cozy home with us.

What an open, hospitable space; interesting as a museum but comfortable for ages 2-70. Everything you can possibly think of is there - from soda stream to dog crate, to crib, swing, beautiful clean pool and deck, TVs, projector, grill, fire pit and more. The setting is quiet and stunning.

The house not was not cleaned prior to our arrival. The kitchen was filthy. There were a lot of mouse droppings in the kichen - a pile. There were dead insects and grease above the stove - hanging over the stove from the fan above. The silverware and pots and pans were literally thrown in to the drawers and the drawers as well as contents were filthy. The Keurig did not work. I heard at night what sounded like animals running in the ceiling. There was a live mouse in the kitchen. There were spider webs all over the windows and the ceiling.The refrigerator and freezer were not cold enough. There were ants in the refrigerator when I arrived. I had to throw out the contents of the freezer because they defrosted. The pool gate would not shut. You couldn't reach the hose handle because it was deep in the bushes. The balcony with the grill was not as pictured. It is actually green all over the cement and there was a food container covered in mold on it and the grill was also filthy. Towels were old and had holes. You also have to take to gargage to the dump which is only open on certain days. I sent this information with pictures/videos to Vrbo. The host sent a handyman and cleaners who fixed some of the issues but she stopped responding to my emails and many issues were never addressed.

HIDDEN GEM IN THE WOODS OVERLOOKING THE HOUSATONIC. AWESOME RADIANT HEATING SYSTEM MADE WINTER CHILL DISAPPEAR. LOVELY OPEN LAYOUT MADE ENTERTAINING SO MUCH FUN.

Ruth's scenic home provided a wonderful Thanksgiving experience for my family and I. Waking up to the Housatonic river made for a peaceful stay. All of the included amenities made our stay very comfortable having everything needed at hand. I would highly recommend Ruth's place for a fun comfortable getaway.

A recent email from VRBO asked if we were happy with our stay. Actually we were anything but. We have come to expect a certain level of comfort and attention to detail in our VRBO stays. This was disappointing on both levels. We had picked this place for a family gathering around a memorial service for our daughter. When we arrived on Saturday, we were met by a place that was so lacking on both levels, we wanted to turn around and go home. However we had a large group of family members arriving after the service to be held on Sunday. Firstly it was very difficult to find the house. We had to spend the first hour of our supposed stay looking for someone who could direct us to the turn off to the house which is not clearly marked. It was so troublesome for us that, soon after arriving, we drove ten miles to the nearest town to find temporary signage that would help our guests identify the turn into the property. A caring owner would have been much more upfront about how hard the house is to find and advised us to download directions since we would lose gps on the way. . On arrival the first thing that we noticed was a distinct odor of mustiness as we entered the house. The odor remained for our stay, and raised concerns for our family's health. Things got progressively worse. The kitchen was filthy. There were mouse droppings in an open container on a shelf. There were scores of dead insects stuck to the grease on the stove hood, only two of the four burners were functional and the stovetop was marked with grease stains . The oven was not clean and unuseable. The coffee maker and pot were black with coffee oils and stains and the advertised Keurig did not function. All this made taking care of our guests very difficult. Compared to our previous VRBO stays, the state of this kitchen was despicable. The advertised cell service and internet connection was intermediate and weak. The upholstery and 2 area rugs on a concrete poured floor clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The entire place was dark. Many lights failed to work throughout the house. The bedroom door was damaged, needed painting, and failed to close properly. There were no closets or dressers in which to store clothes, just an organizer bag hanging from a rod along with a few hangers. We understand a funky aesthetic and can appreciate it when done well. But this was insulting. It wasn’t sanitary or comfortable. We may have to rethink our choice of VRBO fo

The house is gorgeous. Clean, slightly funky in the best way (colors, interesting art, amazing books on shelves, really interesting furniture). The pool is a gem. Everything is comfortable. Ruth responded to inquiries immediately. Beds were super-comfortable. Everything was pleasing and relaxing and stimulating. View off of back deck is other-worldly gorgeous.

Enjoyed the location and the privacy of the house and the pool was lovely!
