Home in Niskayuna

NiskTalgia by the River

MargaretRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Had a really nice experience here! House was very clean and spacious, but be aware one bedroom and bed is considerably smaller than the other - we were sharing with another family and there was no way to have "equitable" sleeping arrangements. Bathrooms could use an update, but were otherwise clean and serviceable (again, one is much smaller than the other). Towels and bed linens were great, appreciated the extra blankets in the closet. Host was friendly and responsive! We would be delighted to stay here again.

Highly recommend Brian’s off grid cabin! His directions were very helpful and made navigating the generator, camp shower, and other on-site details super easy to understand and execute. His property is beautiful and peaceful. We’re already looking at our calendars for another time to visit. Our dog, Stumpy, very much enjoyed the outdoor access and pond. He didn’t want to leave!
