Reviews

“From the initial request for booking through to checkout, Christie was ever responsive, friendly and helpful. As the check-in was getting closer, she sent us a detailed e-guide to the cabin with all the required information about the minutiae of the property and area so we could make the most of it, including instructions for check-in and check-out. Most importantly, the cabin lives up to its description. You can feel the love the hosts put in this welcoming and peaceful place.”

“This is a really beautiful house and my best experience staying in an Airbnb in the Catskills. It’s beautifully designed, spacious, spotless and filled with natural light. This place has all the vibes of a Japanese Ryokan. The surroundings are just spectacular, green, quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed the indoors of this house as much I enjoyed being in their gorgeous outdoor space.

The price is so reasonable for all the comforts, space and tranquility that this house offers. The owners communicate so well and they are super kind, very polite and respectful.

Towns of Roxbury, Margaretville and Phoenicia are close by, so there are plenty of choices around here for dining and shopping. Highly, highly recommended.”

“Christie and Seikai’s house is unique, beautiful and very comfortable, exactly as shown in the listing. They obviously took great care in designing and furnishing their Japanese-inspired house, which combined with the beautiful and peaceful surroundings offered the perfect stay for us, the best of several trips we have made to the area. The surrounding towns have good restaurants, but we mostly bought local produce and meat at the nearby farm stores and farmers market and cooked and grilled at the house and ate on the patio, which was amazing. We could not ask for a better place and would certainly return.”

“We recently stayed at this incredible Japanese-style Airbnb, and it was an unforgettable experience. The attention to detail in the design, from the authentic tatami mats to the serene decor, truly made us feel like we had been transported to another world. The location is perfect for those who love nature – we enjoyed breathtaking hikes right nearby and wrapped our nights up with wine by the campfire. Christie and Seikai were highly responsive and provided amazing local recommendations. This is a gem of a place, and we can’t wait to return!”

“Walked into a home that was peaceful and calm. The house is well appointed, from the well stocked kitchen with everything you might need, to the beautiful cotton robes folded neatly on the beds. We were impressed with the caliber and quality of items in the kitchen. The living room, dining room, and deck offer views of trees and mountains with birds flying past, right before our eyes. Upstairs tatami room is an added delight. Beds are extremely comfortable. Found the house immaculately clean. Personal touches including the Kokeshi dolls books, and photos from Japan made it feel like we were guests in a friend’s home, rather than just renting a house. Homeowners are a joy to work with.”
