New York vacation rentals

I’ve served 19 years in the military and I’ve traveled A LOT. I’ve stayed at a lot of Air B&B’s and hotels. With that said, this was THE BEST experience I’ve EVER had!! It truly felt like a home away from home. The amenities were phenomenal and honestly unexpected. I removed NOT ONE power cord from bag. The place is PRISTINE, there’s nice notes left throughout the room, and the SET UP is to die for!!! It definitely passed the vibe test!!! I felt like I was on vacation and had my own little private sanctuary!! Lisa was EXTREMELY NICE, Communicative, Helpful, and Accommodating. Lisa HAS TO HAVE some experience in interior design, because let me tell you, the pictures she has posted online doesn’t depict how AMAZING this place really is. I kind of want to keep this a secret so she always has availability for when I return 😂. 10 out of 10 and would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!! The peace and serenity you experience here is 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾. I don’t think it could get any better!!! THANK YOU LISA!!!

Would be very happy to recommend this apartment. Harvin was an attentive host who kindly left a bottle of wine out to welcome us when we arrived and ensured there were plenty of clean towels, coffee etc available. We didn’t meet up in person – we arrived late after a flight from London – but were able to collect the keys from a lockbox outside which made things easy. Harvin also checked in during the stay to make sure we were ok and assured us he was always a phone call away if we needed anything. The apartment is very clean and spacious with two big bedrooms, a large lounge/kitchen and even a decent-sized terrace. As a converted carriage house, it’s a pretty interesting and quirky space – so was exactly what we were hoping for in a ‘funky Brooklyn apartment’! Lexington Avenue is a very quiet residential street which means we got a peaceful undisturbed night’s sleep. But at the same time, it was only a short walk into Bushwick where we found lots of cool bars – plus an easy Metro journey into Williamsburg and Manhattan. So yeah, awesome place. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed for my husbands birthday, it was lovely. Heather and Lisa were very responsive.They answered any questions I had about the rental. Heather was able to accommodate an early check in for me due to the weather. She knew i mentioned it was my husband birthday and left a cake and some treats for him to walk into as well! That was so sweet! The bedroom was very spacious with a lot of closet space to store your bags. We had our 5 year old child and 9month baby with us which we were able to set up a toddler cot and baby pack and play in the bedroom with no issues! The view was very nice, sitting in the hot tub was so relaxing as you looked out at the night time city lights! The unit was more fancy then the posting gives it credit for and when Heather says it has everything -it really did! The first night we ordered pizza and had cake but the second we were able to cook a full meal with the family! We tried to leave the place as stunning as we walked into! We will be back!Ty

Best Air BnB we've stayed at! My in-laws and my wife stayed for a 3 night midweek vacation. Views, Views, Views! The cottage has plenty of room and privacy for all. We stayed in the 2 king bedrooms...super comfortable with really nice fluffy pillows. The kitchen has EVERYTHING you could ask for...very modern with every kitchen tool you could imagine. Just bring your mains... meat, breads, cheese, veges, drinks...the rest is all there to make any meal you could imagine. Huge sink, full size fridge, convection oven, modern espresso/cappuccino/coffee maker, etc, etc, etc. The living and dining rooms open with large floor to ceiling sliding door/ windows to sweeping views of Lake Ontario which is only steps away. The deck is expansive with an incredible hot tub, very cool firepit, and plenty of seating... I suppose we could've brought and played cornhole, lol. The living room is very comfortable with Alexa to set the mood and a wood fireplace if need be. The dining room seats 6 very comfortably, and again, incredible views! The cottage is decorated beautifully with attention to detail like the cool wall art, pretty dishes, and color schemes. The bathroom has everything you could need, along with a separate laundry...full size. The walk in shower is spacious and has superb water pressure unlike many lake cottages. The water is great but there is a large Brita filter pitcher in the fridge. Plenty of parking. And Heather the host, was very quick to get back to us when we had questions!!! We would TOTALLY stay again! Good job Lisa!

This is an amazing rental! Mario was extremely helpful and had everything we needed ready for us (including a complimentary bottle of Prosecco). He also stopped by to see if everything was satisfactory on one occasion, but was not intrusive on our stay. Communication before and during our stay was fantastic. As for the house…this is one of the best rentals we have stayed in. The house was immaculate. The kitchen is well set up and stocked with quality appliances, pots, pans and utensils. The water pressure to sinks and showers was amazing. The fire pit was awesome. The decor in the house was welcoming and aesthetically relaxing. Beds were all very comfortable and easily accommodated myself and four adult friends. The wrap around porch was nice too. A short walk to great swimming and fishing creek with other awesome lakes, ponds and hikes only 15-20 minutes drive away. Good breakfast place (Fellows Cafe) short walk from house. This house was absolutely perfect for our fishing trip. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks Mario and family for a great stay and congratulations on Italy winning the Euro cup.

Harvin’s home is very spacious, clean and everything in the home looks like the photos expect it looks much beautiful in person. It’s very chic/modern looking. There was a group of 6 of us and we only stayed there for 1 night. There was a minor issue with another group who booked another one of his properties in the back of this home. They came to the door, thinking this was their stay which it wasn’t, so at one point that was a bit confusing until I contacted Harvin and he explained everything out to me and told me they were supposed to stay somewhere else. Harvin was very responsive to me when I reached out, which I appreciated. Other than that our stay were great and I really liked that each room were of a good size and had its own TV. There were some good restaurants and vegan restaurants nearby and we order our food through Uber eats with no hassle. There was a bit of a cold draft that comes through the sides of the Air conditioner in the kitchen window, which makes the first floor chilly at some parts of the stay, (here and there, which didn’t last for the whole stay; but that’s something that could be fixed). The temperature was great upstairs. But other than that his home really feels like home. Throughout all my experiences of staying in other AirBnB homes, Harvin’s place was my favorite. We enjoyed our stay so much that we asked if we can check-out an hour or two later and thankfully he allowed us to. Overall our experience was fun, good and we will defiantly recommend this place to others to stay and I would defiantly come back for another stay !!

Not sure where to start... Our week at Bear Hill Farm was all we hoped for and more. We planned our trip from our home in FL with the goal of finding a cozy and unique place to stay for Christmas week with our 4 young adult children, 2 of whom live in NY. We selected this property as it looked like it would meet our needs, and it did. Plenty of room, comfortable, well stocked and clean. The kitchen is a dream! It is complete with just about any gadget or appliance you could need. The bathroom that is also a shower was a bit off putting at first, but it was a fantastic shower, and a cool experience if you are brave enough to shower with the window coverings wide open! The claw foot tub in the upstairs bath was a nice way to warm up and relax. All the beds were comfortable, and the down comforters kept us warm during the subzero temps. I forgot to mention - it was darn cold the week we were there!! We used the wood burning stove constantly, and the gas one in the kitchen to take the chill off at times during the day. The heated floors were wonderful, too! We dared the weather and took the 4+ mile walk twice, and saw some stunning countryside. Jeff the owner was excellent with communication, and Jeff the caretaker was incredibly helpful and we enjoyed hearing about the history of the house from him. The only thing we had not expected was how seriously remote the location is. But, that is not a negative! It posed a small challenge as these southerners had to remember how to drive in icy snowy conditions! The snow plows came by a couple times daily which was cool! All in all, we give our experience at Bear Hill Farm 5+ stars. We hope to be lucky enough to return in the summer months and experience the beauty of that season there! Thank you so much, Jeff & Jeff

Mark was an extremely gracious and considerate host, personally giving us a good lay of the land (explaining apartment, building, neighborhood, and also checking in with us mid-way to make sure all was well. The apartment was as described, very comfortable for an Upper East Side one-bedroom. It was nice to have the separation of bedroom and living space on two floors. This is not typical for a smaller apartment in New York and was kind of cool. Most NY one bedrooms don't have the extra half bath, so this was a plus. Also, for a smaller building, it was nice to have an elevator. There are buildings that are cared for, and there are buildings that are not. This one is well maintained. The air conditioning was more than adequate to help us through some warm days. It's in the middle of a typical Upper East Side neighborhood, which is to say, plenty of nice restaurants and shops from very casual to very fine, and including steps away one of my personal favorite's, Luke's, which serves a pretty good lobster role and is kind of a cute faux-Maine lobster shack. You are minutes from the Met and Central Park, and it's a nice walk to get there. For runners, it's 10 minutes or so to the CP reservoir, one of my favorite runs. Or do the whole perimeter of the park, which is six miles and a spectacle of nature and the human parade. The nearby Neue Gallery, another favorite, now has a line literally around the block, as a result of the movie Lady in Gold. Maybe this will settle down after a few months, because the Neue is a gem. You can get a good work out at Crunch fitness, right across 3rd Ave., one minute from apartment, at a day rate of $35. If you're someone who feels you just need a workout now and then, particularly because you'll want to eat well in NY, this is a worthwhile convenience. Bottom line. Nice apartment, with a very thoughtful and attentive host. I would return. Thanks, Mark.
