Recent Guest Review: If you are attending an event at Gather Greene, I 100% recommend booking Hollykiss! We had a family wedding there this past weekend and used Hollykiss as our extended family’s base of operations. A 4 minute drive from the venue, We booked the entire house (all 6 indoor bedrooms - plus the “barn” which has 4 beds for extra space) The house and property are GORGEOUS. Everyone was awed- and I was given kudos for finding it! We had 12 people sleep there plus another 10 (who were staying 30 minutes+ away) come for lunch and to get ready for the wedding. We came from NY, DC, Boston, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Florida- and the house was huge inside and out. It has tons of windows- a perfect kitchen, a dining room table that sat all of us plus a piano where we had a family sing a long! Before the 4pm wedding, we planned lunch for 25 intending to use the grounds for a casual picnic. Mark- our host -was super knowledgeable, accommodating, responsive and helpful with information about caterers and grocery stores in the area without being a bit intrusive. He even offered us the use of folding tables and chairs. Even though there was a torrential downpour at the lunch hour- the wrap around covered porch and the spacious interior gave us comfortable and weatherproof options. For a fraction of what we would have spent on hotel rooms, Hollykiss allowed us all to stay, play and eat together in a wonderful upscale setting. 5 stars all around!!! HollyKiss House and grounds is far more than an "Airbnb". Many of the places I loved and held sacred such as summer camp lodges and grandma's farmhouse, are disappearing. It is a place for friends and family to gather, away from a world of collective isolation. A place to touch the grass and breathe the air. Although 126 years old, it has been rebuilt from the inside out, from foundation to re-enforcing steel beams hidden within the framework, it is a fortress. Windows are upgraded weather-tight to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's reassuring to many that places like this still exist. If that appeals to you, then HollyKiss is your place. Guest access Price listed includes the downstairs guest suite (Approx. 600 sq ft.), which includes two sleeping rooms and your own private full bathroom. You may also use the wrap around front porch. Access to suite is through wrap-around porch. Any other areas of the estate may be further negotiated, and is flexible. Apart from owner's residence, estate will be rented to only one guest group at a time. During your stay You can call me directly. That's still the smartest way. Other things to note Looking for accommodations for that big wedding event or festival in the Coxsackie, Athens, or Catskill area? HollyKiss House is quickly becoming the place to gather under one big roof with plenty of parking. Centrally located just down the road to many event and wedding venues in the area. HollyKiss House is its own destination. Room for outdoor activities and space to wander, its natural beauty has been a backdrop to film makers and films, including students from the legendary New York University Tisch School of the Arts. (NYU Film School.) Price listed incudes cleaning fee and pet fee. Any further fees are taken by Airbnb and I have no say in that unless you were to book directly. August 23, 2024: Inspected and Permit Renewed through 2025. "This house is by far the best, if not one of the best destination short term rentals in Greene County." -Code Enforcement Inspector.
