Hudson Valley STR Question/Observation from a renter

Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to check this out...

I live in NYC and I’m looking at vacation rentals in Dutchess & Ulster (as a renter, so I can spend a long weekend in the area and get a better idea of some neighborhoods). I’ve noticed that almost none have fenced-in backyards.

As a dog owner, that’s a major selling point to me. I know a lot of the beauty of that area can be wide open spaces, but with more city folk like me (with new puppies) wanting to avoid hotels, a fence would be a great luxury.

This all leads me to my very self serving question...

Do you or anyone you know own a STR within a few hours from the city that has a fully fenced in backyard? I would love to rent from you! Thanks!

@John Underwood Thanks John! Yeah, I’ve been searching those sites, but for some reason I haven’t found a pet friendly home with a fenced in yard in those areas. It might just not be common there, which I totally understand. Ultimately it’s not a deal breaker, just a perk that I would jump at if I saw it.

 Sounds like you need to buy one and have this feature to fulfill a need!
