Description of the Medusa vacation home rental

Perfect for 6, plenty for 2!

This uber-fab and fun architect-designed, fully wireless farmhouse is for rent by the night, week or month; located in the Hamlet of Medusa in the town of Rensselaerville. Situated on a beautiful 17 acre setting facing a valley, a lake and a mountain range. The sunsets are postcard perfect, and the peacefulness is not to be believed. We are located about 135 miles from the GWB so with the right travel timing, you can be here in about 2 hours. The farm is about a ten minute drive to town, where you can stock up on provisions for your weekend in paradise.

Come enjoy the Catskills. There's something for everyone all year round!

Area Description

The farm is located near Hunter, Windham and the "Irish Alps" of Durham. The property is also not far from the cultural hubs of Cooperstown, Woodstock and Hudson. This is a very special house. It was even featured on Apartment Therapy, a site dedicated to the wonderful design of interior spaces.

 farm fabulousness, September 4, 2008
By vanessa (NYC)
we loved the decor and felt like the super chic city girls we are, staying there!
 
By Jenna Persson (NYC)
I would not hchange a thing about this awesome house! It provided us with one of the best vacations we could have asked for and even offered us things we never knew we wanted! Highlights are the view, cedar hot tub, awesome kitchen and serenity of eating on the screened in porch and hearing nothing but birds and the breeze. The owner was very thoughtful when designing her home that she shares with us lucky folks and it made our stay very special - so thank you!
 
 Best weekend ever!, April 29, 2008
By Courtney (New York, NY)
A group of friends and I stayed in this wonderful farmhouse to celebrate my 40th birthday. We had planned to explore some of the small towns and take a natrue walk, but we loved the house so much that we never left. The pictures dont lie, this is a uber cool place. We are already talking about when to go back!

By Joni (Brooklyn, NY)
I had a wonderful time at this gorgeous farmhouse. The house alone is beautiful, minimalist and somehow charming at the same time. It's just the right mix of clean and cozy and well equipped. I loved being in the country without feeling like I was camping. It was a long overdue escape from city living...did I mention QUIET? Even as I write this, I hesitate to disclose what an incredibly comfortable place this - just out of fear that it will be rented indefinitely. The nearby towns are quirky and sweet too, but you really won't want to leave the house. I don't know when I'll get back, but it won't be soon enough.
Owner Supplied Testimonials
"We loved it! The pictures actually matched the brochure. Thank you for making our stay wonderful. We especially loved the kitty who came to visit us. Don't worry we didn't feed him or let him in, but we did pet him."
