Katrina & Matthew’s place is a great spot when visiting the Hamilton area. Easy drive to town and Colgate’s campus, as well as to local trails for hiking and of course access to the reservoir/waterfront. They provided many great local dining recommendations, were super communicative pre-, during- and post-stay and great hosts all around! We would definitely stay again on another trip. If this place is available, don’t hesitate to book!

This was by far the best Airbnb we have ever stayed at and the best host we have ever had. We had a big snow storm and they plowed the driveway for us, no questions asked. If you’re looking to stay in this area, look no further. This is your place!

The home was spotlessly clean. Yet, warm and inviting. It was perfect for the 4 of us. Our hosts were quick to respond and proactive. The seating and bedrooms were super comfy and ample.

What a wonderful place to stay! The view of the lake was unobstructed and beautiful in the fall. The space seemed to be brand new and we wondered if we were the first guests. The beds and linens were so comfortable. We cooked dinner one night and I was amazed and grateful that the outdoor grill fired right up! If the weather was warmer we would have eaten dinner at the awesome outdoor dining table with the lake as the view. I will be back as it is so convenient to Colgate but quiet at the same time.

We really enjoyed our stay while visiting our son at Colgate University. The location is perfect for visiting Hamilton as it is a 5-10 minute drive from campus. The house overlooks the Lebanon Reservoir. The fall colors around the lake were amazing. Upon arrival, the house was very clean and the owners provided us with everything we needed for our short stay. The kitchen is great. It had everything we needed to make a home-cooked meal. We will definitely look to stay here again during future visits to the Hamilton area.

I needed a place to stay because my son was recovering from surgery. Katrina was so kind and helpful to us. The place was perfect for us- I never knew how necessary a walk in shower is! The house is all newly furnished and so very clean. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. It would be a great place to stay with friends if they were to rent the upstairs. We will definitely be back!
