Description of the Medusa vacation home rental

Plenty for 2, perfect for 8 :)

This über-fab, architect designed, fully wireless farmhouse is for rent by the night, week or month. We are 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 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 has been featured on both Apartment Therapy, and ReNest, sites dedicated to the exceptional home design.

The Most Beautiful House!, October 27, 2009

By Christine Campbell (NYC)

I had the MOST relaxing stay...the whole house is artfully designed and decorated--from the expansive chefs kitchen and dining room to the amazingly warm, inviting bedrooms, comfy living space with chic wood stove--the whole experience was just heavenly! We bbq'd outside and relaxed by the beautifully planted garden...everything about the place is sheer beauty!

Perfect Retreat from the City, October 2, 2009

By Jennie (New York, NY USA)

We live in New York City and our stay at Full Moon Farm was the perfect getaway. The house is lovely - just the right size with well chosen amenities and a comfortable atmosphere. It's the ideal farmhouse - new and modern, but with a homey feel, and situated on a beautiful property with a gorgeous view. Go to Full Moon Farm for a quiet stay in a house that you will wish was your own.

AMAZING STAY!, September 29, 2009

By Margaret Miller (,New York, NY)

My 7 girlfriends and I went up recently for a girls weekend and were 100% pleased in every way. The house was lit up and warm when we arrived (which was well after midnight). The hot tub was bubbling and hot. The rooms were beautiful and the view was postcard pretty. We BBQ'd and went to a local apple farm. The kitchen is fully functional. We were very glad we bought groceries before we got up there. It is very isolated easy to get lost and turned around if you've never been there, especially if you are used to subways over back roads. This house was a great find and we all hope to get back up there soon.

Love it!, August 15, 2009

By Ariane Dutzi (New York)

What an amazing house. What a great taste. The kitchen is truly amazing. It invites you to do your own home-cooking. I slept like a baby. The views were indescribable. Not to talk about the hot tab... Loved everything. Thank you!!! Can't wait to go back there....

By vanessa (NYC)

we loved the decor and felt like the super chic city girls we are, staying there!

Still trying to figure out how to move in for good, August 27, 2008

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!

Sublime, January 12, 2008

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."

Sunny and Max
