Cozy House

We enjoyed our 2 night stay for a fun Halloween in the Sleepy Hollow area. So much to do here! She accurately describes the close vicinity to Sing-Sing. So we knew and weren’t bothered. The house itself is cozy and charming. The deck and yard with views of the Hudson was lovely.

Wonderful Romantic Getaway on the Hudson

On a road trip with my girlfriend to Baltimore and wanted to visit Sleepy Hollow for the night. We loved the backyard view of the Hudson River and the back patio deck in addition to the private water feature and fire pit. The property is very clean and organized.

Incredible Stay

Staying in the Cozy House on the Hudson was wonderful. The communication from Mary Ellen was wonderful, and everything that was supposed to be provided was present in the home. I went outside Saturday morning an was surprised to see two deer in the yard, and a woodchuck! We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, and the comfortable stay. Thanks Mary Ellen!

Location did not work for us

We drove to the property and did not stay. Our GPS brought us in through a neighborhood we did not feel comfortable in, and through the wire fence of the prison grounds. The wall to the prison is literally right across a narrow street and the area not well kept. We like to walk and would not have done so in this area. I did walk in to see the inside of the house and the views are lovely, as is the yard, so pictures were accurate of the house but not of the neighborhood. We travel alot and for us, the location was not where we felt comfortable. Maybe if your introduction via GPS takes you another way, it would appear differently. Very disappointed and had to find other lodging. There was no refund.

Great Place to Rest

I work night shift and desperately needed a place to sleep for 2 days. The host was very accommodating and there were no issues during my stay. I’m sure if I were there under different circumstances I would have had a great time and been able to fully make the most out of my visit.

Great House & View

Spacious and comfortable house with a great view of the Hudson River. My wife and I were back in town for our high school reunion and the property is located about a mile from my old house, so it was a great trip down memory lane for me. The house has everything you need and more, very comfortable. I would stay again for sure!

Mixed bag

There were more personal items left around the house than I expected. And my GPS took us right through the Sing-Sing prison outskirts. But the yard and grounds are really lovely, and it was a super convenient location-right close to the train into the city. MaryEllen was super quick to respond when I had a question. Over all, I'd recommend the house and MaryEllen. I had a great visit with friends, and it was nice to "come home" to the house.

Private, Safe and Beautiful!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Mary Ellen's home for a long weekend. House is located in a quiet cul-de-sac. The backyard was beautiful, we enjoyed sitting at the bar along the deck watching the water and train pass by. The train was quiet during our whole 4 day stay. The inside was perfect, very comfortable. One thing I will note, we brought a lot of frozen food to cook with and did not realize the freezer wouldn't have much room for our food. So, pack light. All in all, we felt so cozy. Host is perfectly communicative. Had a great stay and would definitely be back! Thank you, Mary Ellen!

Home on the Hudson

Loved this wonderful home on the Hudson with fantastic views from a spacious deck or from inside at the dining room table. For a couple the trundle bed is not ideal, but for two traveling companions, it works fine. Close to downtown Ossining with a fantastic local coffee shop (First Village Coffee) with the best croissants I've ever had (and I'm a snob that's been to Paris twice) and a family run Turkish restaurant, next to each other on main street. Owner provide some coffee and tea at a little station set up in the kitchen which was much appreciated. Would look forward to staying here again.

Mary Ellen's home was lovely and the yard overlooking the Hudson was especially nice, with an outdoor dining area, lots of outdoor lighting, a bubbling stone pond, and a firepit. Communication with the host was easy and lots of information was provided about the area.

A beautiful home with everything you could possibly need! House is very clean with plenty of room to relax. Stunning flowers throughout the backyard with multiple seating areas with views of the Hudson. A fire pit and water feature makes it hard to leave. Conveniently located to shops, restaurants and hiking trails in a beautiful area of the state. Can’t wait to come back!
