About this property
Dazzling Design, Hot Tub, Huge Rooms, Privacy, 20 acres
Introducing the Modern Retro Ranch: a sprawling 3,600 sq ft single-level retreat, custom-built in 1965. Revel in its bright, funky, modern style with a retro twist. Nestled on 20 private acres surrounded by hundreds of acres of farmland, this secluded haven offers oversized living areas, a bold, colorful interior, and complete privacy. Enjoy the outdoor deck, hot tub, and fire pit with a cozy seating area right off the kitchen. In the evenings, the silence is profound, perfect for unwinding under the stars. Ideal for families, retreats, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape. Ask about our upcoming game room in 2025!
10 minutes to Bethel Woods and many other local attractions *see below.
RULES: THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE! No underage groups, proms, drinking parties, keg parties, etc. DOGS: Pre-approval is required. Low shedding breeds only due to allergies.
**PLEASE NOTE: This is the country and you can expect to see many animals, birds, snakes and insects (including ticks) that are all part of the ecosystem. Black Bears live locally although we have not seen them on the property yet. There are Eagles and hawks in the area so keep small dogs close to you at all times. When hiking through wooded areas or grass we recommend using Off spray or another known brand on your shoes and legs. During the summer you might hear distant music from the summer camp a mile up the road but it is not bothersome.

This was our third time at this property and it was just as well kept as the first time. It is well appointed, clean and the manager is very responsive to any questions we have. We look forward to staying there again next year!
The amount of space is perfect for being able to spread out and relax with family and friends. We've stayed here twice and were more than happy on both visits.
This house is amazing! It is a perfect blend of modern and mid-century modern. We loved the original pieces that had been saved and used in the renovation. There is more floor space than you could ever use and the views are fantastic!
This is the second year my family has stayed at this property. We could not be more satisfied. The place is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Our first impression was great as you arrive you find the entire place spotlessly clean. We have nothing but good things to say.
We had a fantastic time at this property. The owner answered all our questions in a very timely fashion and was warm and friendly. The house was spotless and beautifully decorated. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub and the beautiful scenery and quiet. There were games for the kids as well. We all enjoyed ourselves from the youngest to the oldest.
My group of friends and I have been planning weekend long get togethers at random vrbos and other rentals for a couple of years now and this one was a fantastic stay! The space was incredible and we had plenty of room to eat, sleep, and play. The hot tub was also incredible!
The weather didn't give us a lot of options in terms of excursions but we took an hour long drive to Walden to check out the Angry Orchard cidery and it was well worth the drive. The property is also super close to the original Woodstock site which was worth the visit!
Leah was a very thoughtful and helpful host and we would absolutely come back!
Leah’s house was great for our group of eight people. Everything was just as pictured (or even better), and Leah was very responsive as a host. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a Vrbo in the area!
This was our fourth or fifth stay at this house over the last few years, and it was excellent again. The manager is very responsive and makes sure you have everything you need. The house itself is comfortable and very well equipped. I’m sure our family will return here again.
Two couples (plus 5 total kids, ages 11 - 14) stayed for the weekend. Competed in Spartan race at Bethel Woods. Great location. House was as advertised and was perfect for our size group.
My friends and I are lawyers and we needed a fun getaway so we could relax and have fun. This house was the perfect spot. It’s clean, beautifully designed and has plenty of room. The hot tub and fire pit were a great bonus. We will be back!
This house was perfect for our group, there to celebrate a 50th birthday with friends and family. Close to Bethel Woods for an easy trek to a concert, and the next day to visit the Woodstock museum. The open kitchen/island and the large dining table were perfect for family style meals and games. The area is beautiful, and walking down the road brought amazing views! The fire pit was a great space to gather and stay warm. Just an awesome stay, and Leah was an excellent host!
Our family had the most amazing time at this wonderful expansive and beautifully decorated home. There were so many exciting games to keep them all busy all morning and evening. Leah was always available for any questions. She keeps adding more to the details of the home. It was so well stocked with linen, bedding and towels and was super clean, cozy and decorated in the most vacation beautiful way. The yard is beautiful too, both front and back and we enjoyed seeing deer around the neighborhood every evening. We'd love to come back again!
The house was very large and in good shape. Kitchen had every pot, pan, and utensil you would ever need to cook. Spacious property was great for outdoor activities in addition to the provided hot tub and grill. Very pleased with my stay.
11 of us guys in our 40s met for a college reunion. Thank you thank you thank you Leah for a marvelous house! The description and photos were accurate. No issues with any indoor or outdoor amenities. Plenty of yard space for lawn games. Loved the Mortal Kombat arcade machine & indoor basketball hoop. We pulled out the trundle bed mattresses so 6 of us could comfortably sleep in the bunkbed room. K-cup coffee machine was excellent. Lots of kitchen supplies to help. Door lock process was smooth. And through it all Leah was so wonderful with communicating. Thank you!
Our second stay at the Retro Ranch (first was a winter break during the pandemic) and, as usual, what a great time. Spacious, stylish and very comfortable, the retro ranch was the perfect three day holiday weekend locale for our daughter’s birthday. Friends & family loved it. Leah is a wonderful host who is super communicative and has a property manager to help if she’s not available. Can’t wait to come back in the summer for a show at Bethel Woods.
Our family got together at the Retro Ranch to celebrate my wife's retirement and the house bacame a major element of the entire weekend. Plenty of room for our 12 adult group to have meals together, hang out on the kitchen or the TV room, or by the fire. You are in a secluded location , yet very easy access to many local attractions that fit a variety of interest. We did like to be back to enjoy the Sunsets! Communication with Leah was excelent and was very responsive to our inquiries. We enjoy places that looks impresive and welcoming at the same time, the Retro Ranch is very much that.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Cabin wasn't quite as nice as the pictures looked but was still good. Beds were not very comfortable but the pillows were great! Roads to cabin were very narrow and steep. Host never responded to my last message. Minimum age for hot tub use was unclear. There was a sign near the hot tub stating one, online listing stated another, and their manual inside the cabin said a third. Had no trouble entering cabin with keyless entry the first time but it would not work after that. Not worth the price in my opinion. View was amazing though!
The space is even larger in person. We greatly appreciated the really bright colors. Definitely a little room for improvement, but for what we needed (Clean space with plenty of room to stretch out) we couldn't have asked for a better space. Property owner was great with communication even though I didn't notice she was checking in with us until much later. I guess that's a sign that their directions and information ahead of time was really good! Definitely plan to rent the space again in the future.
The property is gorgeous! We came with a family (with little kids) and a bunch of adults as well and it was awesome for all age groups.
One of our friends said "I saw the pictures and thought it can't possibly be that beautiful, but no, it's even prettier in real life!"
Down to every last detail. Even the microwave and knives match the decor. 😉
The fresh air is amazing, beautiful quiet area. We brought quite a few activities to do once we got there but the space lends itself to chilling and relaxing around the fire that we didn't end up needing any of the activities we brought.
There's a game room, two areas to relax on the couch and chairs near the island.
Not to mention Leah is the perfect host! super helpful and responsive! 10/10 would go again
We had a quarantine safe getaway from NYC complete with everything we needed. Leah was such a gracious host that she ordered food platters and serving bowls for our holiday dinner and had it delivered to us. She truly made sure that whatever we needed was on hand. Our children explored the neighborhood and enjoyed daily runs and spotting deer. They spent time outside around the fire pit eating smores and chatting. Plenty of movies to watch and tons of space to sit, eat and fellowship. Leah’s home is super clean. Our group all currently work remotely including the kids. We chose the home specifically because of the fast WiFi and thankfully it delivered! Also, the mattresses were very comfortable- memory foam I think. We would definitely return. We were a group of 7 and felt like we had tons of space for more guests. Thank you Leah for sharing your lovely home with us!
