RULES:
THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE! No underage groups, proms, drinking parties, keg parties, etc.
DOGS: Pre-approval is required. Low shedding breeds only due to allergies.

This is the country and you can expect to see many animals, birds, snakes and insects (including ticks) that are all part of the ecosystem.

Awesome Spot for a Friend Getaway
My group of friends and I have been planning weekend long get togethers at random vrbos and other rentals for a couple of years now and this one was a fantastic stay! The space was incredible and we had plenty of room to eat, sleep, and play. The hot tub was also incredible! The weather didn't give us a lot of options in terms of excursions but we took an hour long drive to Walden to check out the Angry Orchard cidery and it was well worth the drive. The property is also super close to the original Woodstock site which was worth the visit! Leah was a very thoughtful and helpful host and we would absolutely come back!

This is the second year my family has stayed at this property. We could not be more satisfied. The place is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Our first impression was great as you arrive you find the entire place spotlessly clean. We have nothing but good things to say.

We had a fantastic time at this property. The owner answered all our questions in a very timely fashion and was warm and friendly. The house was spotless and beautifully decorated.

I Loved the Stay
The house is Great and the Location is Awesome. Very Quiet & Isolated - nearest resident is half a mile away. Owner is more responsive than my mother. This house has been undergoing an epic renovation by the owner, to save it from the elements. The house is nice and the Mitsubishi AC is a winner. Because the rental is expensive, I am going to tell you that the house could be improved as follows: 1. MBR bed is too low to the floor and needs box spring to bring it to a normal height. 2. Kitchen is Great and modern but fridge is way too small for the number of people that the house is slated to have. A second fridge in the basement would be helpful. 3. The windows mostly don't work and one doesn't close. without screens, the numerous flies fly in when opened. 4. The land is beautiful but underutilized. The deck should be ripped out and one that is twice the width built. If you put a long outdoor table, you could actually use the deck to dine and with an awning, the backyard would be the star of the house so long as you cut all of the weeds in the back to the end of the property line, the view would be improved. Recliners would be great as those backyard chairs look cute but have no use.

Beautiful and relaxing property!
The property is gorgeous! We came with a family (with little kids) and a bunch of adults as well and it was awesome for all age groups. One of our friends said "I saw the pictures and thought it can't possibly be that beautiful, but no, it's even prettier in real life!" Down to every last detail. Even the microwave and knives match the decor. 😉 The fresh air is amazing, beautiful quiet area. We brought quite a few activities to do once we got there but the space lends itself to chilling and relaxing around the fire that we didn't end up needing any of the activities we brought. There's a game room, two areas to relax on the couch and chairs near the island. Not to mention Leah is the perfect host! super helpful and responsive! 10/10 would go again

Celebrate back in time!
Our family got together at the Retro Ranch to celebrate my wife's retirement and the house bacame a major element of the entire weekend. Plenty of room for our 12 adult group to have meals together, hang out on the kitchen or the TV room, or by the fire. You are in a secluded location , yet very easy access to many local attractions that fit a variety of interest. We did like to be back to enjoy the Sunsets! Communication with Leah was excelent and was very responsive to our inquiries. We enjoy places that looks impresive and welcoming at the same time, the Retro Ranch is very much that.

Mid Winter break & birthday
Our second stay at the Retro Ranch (first was a winter break during the pandemic) and, as usual, what a great time. Spacious, stylish and very comfortable, the retro ranch was the perfect three day holiday weekend locale for our daughter’s birthday. Friends & family loved it. Leah is a wonderful host who is super communicative and has a property manager to help if she’s not available. Can’t wait to come back in the summer for a show at Bethel Woods.

Space for days
The space is even larger in person. We greatly appreciated the really bright colors. Definitely a little room for improvement, but for what we needed (Clean space with plenty of room to stretch out) we couldn't have asked for a better space. Property owner was great with communication even though I didn't notice she was checking in with us until much later. I guess that's a sign that their directions and information ahead of time was really good! Definitely plan to rent the space again in the future.

Girls Getaway 2022
We visited the Modern Retro Ranch in late September for our annual girls getaway. There were 13 of us and there was plenty of room. The house is very spacious and the decor is bright and cheerful. The pictures on the website are very accurate. What you see is what you get. :) The beds are comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels, and the house was a comfortable temperature. There aren't any neighbors close by so no fear of making too much noise. We loved the firepit and used it almost every night. It was great that there were enough outside chairs for sitting around the fire. We saw deer every day, and even heard the coyotes one night while sitting around the fire. It's in the country but shops aren't far away if you need some supplies. I would definitely recommend this property. Rena

Quiet, remote, comfortable
Unpaved roads leading up to the house can be a little unsettling (the potholes were filled the first morning we were there!) but this is an insanely spacious mid-century style ranch house out among abandoned agricultural buildings (they're a few hundred yards away). We found ourselves using the kitchen bar counter, seats 7, most of the time, but the living room was also a great place to sit and relax.

Quick spring escape
Two families were able to spread out and enjoy a quick getaway. The seating area was convenient during meal times, as there was no need to eat in shifts. Adults and children were able to sleep in separate rooms. We took advantage of visiting an alpaca farm and horseback riding on separate dates of our stay. Quiet rode for the kids to bike ride as well.

Oasis in a snow storm
Our family was cracking under the pressure of our eleven months of cabin fever and needed to breathe and laugh and live someplace else. Leah’s beautiful ranch house near Bethel Woods was the perfect place to ride out a major snowstorm. Right out the front door we could sled down a perfect sledding hill. On the other side of the house the hot tub was relaxing and fun. The house itself was exactly as advertised. Big enough for us to spread out for work and remote schooling, and cozy enough when we wanted to chill together. The style and decor is clean, cool and welcoming. I miss the kitchen already. We’d definitely come back, especially in the summer time during the concert season. Leah is a pro at this. She gave us very clear info and instructions from the moment we booked and was super quick to answer any question. Even though we never actually talked or saw her, we felt totally taken care of the entire visit. Much obliged!

A wonderful quarantine safe break from NYC
We had a quarantine safe getaway from NYC complete with everything we needed. Leah was such a gracious host that she ordered food platters and serving bowls for our holiday dinner and had it delivered to us. She truly made sure that whatever we needed was on hand. Our children explored the neighborhood and enjoyed daily runs and spotting deer. They spent time outside around the fire pit eating smores and chatting. Plenty of movies to watch and tons of space to sit, eat and fellowship. Leah’s home is super clean. Our group all currently work remotely including the kids. We chose the home specifically because of the fast WiFi and thankfully it delivered! Also, the mattresses were very comfortable- memory foam I think. We would definitely return. We were a group of 7 and felt like we had tons of space for more guests. Thank you Leah for sharing your lovely home with us!
