We loved staying in this charming cottage. Perfectly outfitted with all the amenities we needed plus some bonus features like a private fenced yard. Great neighborhood in walking distance to downtown.

Hanan is a superb host. Her communication and responsiveness are excellent. As is her generosity and flexibility. The cottage is exactly as advertised -- and in fact, better. One enters the cottage and is greeted with a huge welcome basket and key provisions (including sparkling water that was a life saver in 100 degree temperatures). I felt immediately comfortable and at home. The location couldn't be better -- it's within walking distance of main street, the trailhead for Mount Beacon (if you're a hiker) and Long Dock Park (to rent kayaks). It's also a short ride from the Hudson Valley Shakespearean Theatre. I especially appreciated Hanan letting me use her bike (as I like to explore new places on two wheels). I highly recommend Hanan and her place and I will stay with her again when I'm next in Beacon and in the Hudson Valley. If the raiting system is five stars, I give her 6. Jim

This was one of the strangest VRBO experiences I've ever had. The host would not stop texting me about a million different little things (including saying my dog was "barking in distress"--no, I just let her out to pee and she was barking for a couple minutes because she's a dog). She also went out of her way to put together a gift basket (which I didn't need), but was running late on getting the VRBO ready (thankfully, traffic made me run behind, or I wouldn't have been able to check in on time). Also, the VRBO was SO BRIGHT in the mornings. There is no shade on the window on the door, and the curtains over the roller blinds are all sheer. I would never stay here again, and honestly, I wouldn't tell friends to stay here either. Unless they like busybodies and waking up with the sun.

The space was cute and clean. It was an easy walk to downtown. Hanan was very communicative and accommodating. She went out of her way to make sure my stay was easy and comfortable.
