We had a wonderful family weekend at the Millbrook Farm Estate! Located 30 minutes from Vasser College, it has an interior is tastefully designed and spacious, extras such as the outdoor firepit with stacked dry wood and the gas-powered bbq were great, communication with the owner helpful & prompt, and the view and the 50 acres just lovely! A very restful and lovely stay!
Stayed at this property for a week. Home was clean, beautifully decorated and well equiped. Owner was attentive but not intrusive. Enjoyed watching the free range chickens and walking the maintained paths on the property. Great location, close to village center with shops, restaurants, a great market and a great bookstore.
Stayed in this renovated farmhouse for a very snowy weekend. Nicely redone and furnished with spacious living/dining area. Could have fit 2 more adults or 2-3 kids. Hosts were lovely and introduced us to the goats. Too snowy and icy to get outdoors or explore much but local village has shops and kitchen was stocked with pantry staples and bottled water, milk/creamers for coffee so arrival day grocery run was not needed. Bonus large picture window let us enjoy the abundant snow from the warmth of the living room. Would return to explore trails on the farm in nicer weather. Bonus #2 we got eggs from the host’s chickens at the local market and they are multicolored and yummy. Driveway ended up with a couple inches of ice due to heavy storm but easy to navigate with jeep. *for those with bad knees there is a steep staircase but it has a sturdy banister and good stair treads with steps that appear steep but individual step height not too high for comfort. Pet friendly-leash is a must due to farm animals and wild critters (bears). Would stay again. We and our dog had a great weekend.
The house was lovely, just not quite as spacious as the pictures.We did love the chickens and the owners/grounds person went above and beyond just to be kind. We would stay there again!
The most charming cozy cottage on a beautiful property
We had a nice stay at this charming historic cottage while my daughter and her friend competed at the annual Millbrook Horse Trials over 4 days. The kitchen had everything needed plus they included some extras in the fridge such as filtered water, ice, coffee, etc. We loved to see the chickens running around too. We hope to return next year and book this same place once we have the dates!
Mindy was onsite and readily available to answer any questions. We liked scoping out the large property, which she recommended. It was a perfect, soft space to land before/after long days at a weekend workshop at Omega Institute nearby.
The checkin went smooth. We arrived at 345pm and the house was ready, cool insude and a key on the table. There was a note where we could scan in our phone for more info regarding the area. The kitcen had new appliances and the rooms were spacious.
The cottage was pretty much as described.It's an old structure with tasteful but minimal upgradesHost was very responsive Price is rightOutdoor grilling is available "down" by the barnSome windows open to let in fresh airCouldn't figure out how to get toaster to work ??Street noise is rather loud during the rush hoursOur dog was dazzled by watching the free-range chickens

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
The house is indeed situated on a beautiful bucolic farm but is also situated about 30 feet from a very busy road which is incredibly loud. Because the house is older and needs restoring, the windows are not equipped to handle the noise even when closed. While the barns and grounds are beautiful, the house itself is a bit shabby. We had hoped for a charming and serene place in the country and thus was not that.
The house was everything that it is advertised to be. When we arrived, we found it very clean and spacious enough for five adults and two dogs. The hosts were considerate and extremely gracious. The farm is picturesque, chickens and goats look very well cared for and added to the charm. …no worries if you are not an animal lover, the goats and chickens stay far enough away that you can simply not take any notice of them. The beautiful village of Millbrook is just 4 minutes down the road and Poughkeepsiei is 23 minutes in the other direction. We were there for a graduation weekend, but will be back soon. Easy access to NYC for a day trip, then back to the cottage for a quiet country night and exploring the Catskills the next day. Sounds like a great weekend to me.
Mindy and William’s farmhouse was a great blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. The house was meticulously clean and comfortable providing everything necessary in the kitchen for cooking and a giant television for nighttime entertainment. Hanging out with the assorted chickens and two goats was a daily treat as was the dozen eggs Mindy left in our refrigerator. Very short drive to the lovely town of Millbrook with great restaurants and a beautiful municipal park and another short drive to Innisfree Gardens which are simply spectacular. Mindy was always available if you should need anything. A truly lovely person. The house is close to route 82 so you’ll hear the morning traffic but if you’re an early riser (which we aren’t) then no problem. However, after our first day we were used to the traffic and it was never an issue after that. We had a great time.
