The property offered a great locale for our mini family reunion of ten people, ranging in age from 11 months to 79 years. The kitchen is massive, and very well equipped for a large gathering. But there are enough bedrooms and bathrooms to ensure plenty of privacy when desired.

Great property, with a history too.

It’s a peaceful getaway that you deserve over a long weekend with family. This is a huge and well maintained, considering that it was built in 1920s. When we are staying, we also get to know that this was also a speakeasy during the time of probation.Will recommend for sure. Great hosts as well, they took care of all the communication prior, during and after the stay.

I stayed here with friends having 20 people, this house was exactly what we needed. It was one of only a few houses that have enough individual beds for 20 people, dining room for 20 people, enough bathrooms, and general house space for 20 people. The house has an old charm and wifi worked wonderfully throughout the whole house, which was a welcome surprise considering the size of the house. Additionally, the house has a great location, there is a lot to do in the area and is only a short drive from the Poughkeepsie train station.

We had a family reunion with seventeen adults and two children, and the house worked wonderfully. The place provided the right number of bedrooms and beds. The common spaces provided ample room for visiting, game playing and meals. Also, we had a great final dinner at the large table on the front porch followed by smores at the fire pit.

The huge kitchen, dining room and covered porch allowed us all to be together without feeling crowded. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed hiking in the nearby parks.

Great house, wonderful hosts...

My family of 17 stayed at Jewel house for the 2023 edition of our annual family reunion. Our hosts were very responsive to a couple of small issues we had when we first arrived, and the house was a "perfect fit" for our stay. I would highly recommend Jewel house for any large groups that are looking for a warm and cozy location for a large group event.

Friends Weekend

The house was perfect for our large group, with plenty of space and great amenities. The spacious rooms and bathrooms in most bedroom were convenient for a group of 15 adults, and having a well-stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals for everyone. The yard and oversized front porch made the house even more enjoyable, providing the perfect setting for both daytime relaxation and evening gatherings.

We loved our stay at Jewel House during the New York Sheep and Wool Festival. The kitchen is well equipped with major appliances (two dishwashers, two cooktops, two refrigerators), a large island for setting out food, and it is easy to gather around the island for snacking. We loved sitting in the gathering room with a fire, chatting and knitting. We also appreciated a dining room table that more than accommodated our group of twelve. At the recommendation of Alexandra, we worked with Chef Lydia Hodges for two wonderful dinners. Our hosts responded promptly to questions. They also provided suggestions for what to do in the area. It is a wonderful property for a large group.

This was our second family weekend at Jewel House and it did not disappoint! The big well stocked kitchen makes meal time prep and clean up easy and it has plenty of beds & baths for our group of 17. The front porch is a great place to relax and enjoy time catching up and we especially enjoyed our evening spent around the backyard fire pit. It's private and peaceful, just what we were looking for. The host was quick to respond to text messages when we found a small issue at check in that was quickly resolved. We're looking forward to coming back next year!

A Perfect Fall Weekend

The Jewel house was everything listed and more! From a communicative and helpful host to the spotless and sprawling property my group had a fantastic reunion here. The kitchen is unbeatable with a massive dining room for large communal meal. Everything was top notch in terms of finishes and there was no shortage of attention to detail. We have been renting homes for 8 years to bring a large group together and all the guests agreed this was the best by far yet. Thank you for having us and for anyone looking for the perfect upstate stay for a large group look no further!
