Aaron's place is almost perfect - a huge floor of an older two-family home, just off the main street. We were in Schenectady to visit a relative, and thanks to Aaron, we were able to play the host, inviting folks over for an evening of good wine and bad pool! Aaron was attentive and communicative, and the apartment is just like the listing. Great modern furniture, full, clean kitchen! Alas, the dated (but clean) bathroom was not up to the high standards of the rest.Curtis2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
Comfortable and very clean apartment with all needed amenities. Aaron was very attentive.linda 2017-02-01T00:00:00Z
Aaron's place was amazing. It was clean, beautiful and it was cozy and comfortable. Aaron was also great very easy to communicate with him. Thank you again. I can't wait to be back.Anna2017-02-24T00:00:00Z
Great stay.henry2017-02-21T00:00:00Z
Very nice place! Spacious and clean. We had a very good time playing pool! We definitely recommend. Thank you AaronLorraine2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
Very comfortable and spacious place in a convenient location. Aaron was very responsive and helpful during the check-in process - would definitely stay here again.Kevin2017-03-04T00:00:00Z
I am touring with a show, and it's such a luxury to feel like you found a home away from home. Aaron's place was just that! He was welcoming, accommodating, helpful, kind, communicative, and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. I really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen for my cooking needs! It was also nice to be able to park my car in the driveway. I enjoyed my stay.Ginna Claire2017-03-10T00:00:00Z
This place was great at it's price. We loved the pool table and wine.Ryan2017-01-27T00:00:00Z

This house is simply amazing. So beautiful and relaxing. The views of the river are tranquil and serene. Every room is beautifully decorated and clean. We had the time of our lives!!!Jenn2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
My girlfriend and I spent 4 days at The Hideaway over the new year. Amy and Billy were wonderful hosts and took every care to make our stay absolutely wonderful. The home itself is much much nicer than the pictures let on and makes a great, cozy escape. There are notes all through out the property to make sure everything is easily located and it feels very welcoming. They also made sure to have plenty of firewood as well as firestarter stocked for us and thorough instructions on using the fireplace. All in all, I would highly recommend this as a vacation destination for anyone who wants to relax and unwind in the beautiful Adirondacks.Ben2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time with a group of friends at Amys place. This place was awesome. The house's warm & open feel was perfect for sharing time together. Close to ski hills -- we spent 1 day at West Mountain ski resort. This spot was perfect all around.Daniel2017-01-16T00:00:00Z
I feel Amy's home has been my best airbnb experience ever! Pictures simply don't do this place justice. I would not hesitate to nominate Amy for a hospitality award. The house is literally next to a beautiful, peaceful river, with kayaks and a firepit and a volleyball court. There are huge glass windows and an inviting screened in porch where Amy had kindly set up a dinner table and the apparatus for making iced tea! Amy was very excited to host us, and that really showed in all the care and thought she had put into preparing the house for us. From the bottle of red to the board games, from the free coffee to the surround sound system, and countless other little treats we enjoyed throughout our weekend... we felt like 5 star guests. Amy has decorated her home with love and it feels like a dream home. Amy communicated with us before and throughout our stay and provided all we needed to be happy and then some! I dont usually leave such fawning reviews but this host really stands out. Thank you Amy!Bilhuda2016-10-10T00:00:00Z
My husband and I were searching for a cabin get-away, the first one since having a baby and Amy's place was beyond our expectations. First of all, she was super communicative and supportive of all of our first time parent questions and when we got there, we felt very comfortable and welcomed. Everything about the cabin is magical. There are so many final touches that turned the experience from a simple long weekend into a cozy, happy and even more lovely stay than we could have planned. There was a grill and wood for an open fire, games, and our room was even set up for all things we would need to care for our infant. There was just enough room for our pack n play, a night light, a fader in the room to dim the lights for bedtime, and plenty of space for diaper changes. If we had planned ahead we also could have easily bathed her in the sink in the bathroom. The kitchen is organized and has all of the basic utensils needed to make a delicious meal, and even some surprises, like slow and pressure cookers. And there were even kayaks! This nondescript cabin in the beautiful woods with the sparkling lakefront views was truly a magical getaway for us and we can't wait to return!Sivanne2017-02-20T00:00:00Z
Pictures don't do it justice! The house is roomier than it seems and decorated beautifully and the view is breathtaking. The house is right on the river and Amy has kayaks - it was so fun! We went during the perfect time right as the leaves were changing and it was gorgeous and the bonfire was great at night when it got chillier. Thank you so much for the excellent stay!! We would love to go back!Andrea2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Mara's place was seriously fantastic. My boyfriend and I stayed for two days. The place was spacious, cozy, clean, and super charming. We enjoyed venturing into Saratoga Springs, but were equally happy to stay in and enjoy the cool bar/kitchen and the fireplace in the lovely bedroom/living room. Mara was hospitable and communicative. She gave us directions, helped us check out New Years Eve options, and even gave us fresh eggs! Although I don't often opt to stay in places that are connected to a hosts home, we felt very comfortable in Mara's place. She was available, but we also felt like we had complete privacy. We are absolutely coming back!Adele2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
My friend and I stayed with Mara January 8-10 for a little get away from the city of Syracuse. Mara was a fantastic host. She really went above and beyond to assure our stay was well satisfying. Was a little skeptical about renting a place attached to a house, but like other reviews state, we felt very secluded and private. The fireplace was great and we thoroughly enjoyed use of the fully equipped kitchen. Cannot wait to come back during the summer to make use of the river to kayak. Thank you again Mara for a more than perfect little getaway!Amanda2017-01-10T00:00:00Z
Beautiful, quiet and restful stay! Mara is a wonderful host. Accessible to Saratoga Springs and great sites for history, hiking, and fun.Laurie2017-04-04T00:00:00Z
Mara was a great host! Her place had everything you needed for the weekend. The view was beautiful. It was also close to Saratoga. Perfect place for a weekend getaway from the city.faaria2017-02-20T00:00:00Z
Great place, great scenic view of the river, with a very good and functional bar/kitchen. Very nice, very spacious lodging, with an extraordinarily well decorated interior which perfectly complements the location. A very, very comfortable listing, and not one to be missed if one is in the area.Jina2017-02-04T00:00:00Z
Mara's place is great! Wonderful location right on the Champlain Canalway Trail. Great place to take a walk or ride your bike. Gorgeous views, quiet and so welcoming. She has everything you might need from wine/beer & coffee to farm fresh eggs, butter, creamers, cereal, yogurt, etc. Its a wonderfully maintained old farm house with so much character and Mara couldn't be more friendly. Highly recommend!Barbara2017-03-10T00:00:00Z
Mara was an awesome host!! The area was nice and quiet, and she made us feel right at home. Would HIGHLY recommend!Maryann2017-02-24T00:00:00Z
Mara's place was exactly what we envisioned when we wanted a quick upstate getaway. The house was secluded without being completely in the middle of nowhere. It was fairly close to cute shops and restaurants in town and nearby Saratoga Springs. The house itself was very adorable and very cozy. The fireplace with the string lights really made it perfect during a quiet night in. And when your ready to come outside and explore Mara's horses and waiting to greet you and nibble on your fingers. Overall very relaxing trip!Anna2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

We had a really great stay. Enjoyed lake, fishing on the dock, kayaking, breakfast on the terrace, and BBQ. It is beautiful. Mary and Joel are very nice. They welcomed us when we arrvived.Jiang2015-08-23T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay , had a very enjoyable weekend here , everything was easy to find and use. We cant wait to be back ;)John2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
Mary is by far the most welcoming and friendly host I ever had the pleasure to meet. Her house is very clean, tidy, and homey with all the interesting decorations and family paintings. The place is just as the pictures portrayed. The dock is fully available with a few canoes and a paddle boat, as well as plenty of oaks and life jackets. We even made a bonfire at the fire pit by the dock. There's no wifi in the house and mobile signals are also poor, but hey, it's the country, time to drop your phones and tablets and go take a dive in the beautiful lake! Overall, we had a wonderful time, and I would stay with Mary any day!!Yidi2015-08-27T00:00:00Z
The house and host were fantastic. It was everything we hoped for and the process was nice and simple. One point to be aware of is cell phone service in the area can be very spotty to non-existent. But that certainly is not the host's fault.Geofrey2016-09-11T00:00:00Z
We had a great time and enjoyed particularly the lake view, the swimming, the kayak, the BBQ and the quietness of this place.Elodie2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
My stay at the Cottage was one filled with great pleasure and great relaxation. Mary is a very warm and welcoming host who will treat you like a family member paying a visit to the family Lakehouse. The setting has a nostalgically beautiful and it is the perfect environment to try and retain some peace of mind. If you are looking to retreat to a quiet atmosphere to get some clarity and composure, I would highly recommend this cottage.Patrick2016-07-10T00:00:00Z
Five cousins had a terrific two nights of card games and Taboo hillarity. Comfortable, cute cottage with all the basic amenities. Loved playing in the kayaks and tubes. Beautiful water, nice deck, and comfy beds. The perfect lake-side retreat!Nora2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

I was met upon arrival and given instructions and updates. Amber was very accommodating. Comfortable accommodations. Nice neighborhood and centrally located for my interests.lee2016-08-12T00:00:00Z
Amber was wonderful, the listing was exactly as presented! She made us feel welcomed and was very nice! The apartment was very clean and comfortable with private access around back. We had a wonderful stay and would reccomend it to others!Jordan 2016-08-29T00:00:00Z
Amber's house was so clean and perfectly decorated. We immediately felt comfortable. I was so bummed I left my hair dryer at home, but she had everything I needed in the bathroom.Amanda2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
Amber did all perfect - met in time, explained about the house, advised on the neighborhood. And, no need to say, she kept the house crystal clean and added a few small things that help you feel as it is your own home.Sergey2017-01-20T00:00:00Z
Thoroughly enjoyed staying in Abmer's space. It was absolutely perfect for my needs. Loved the spaciousness, how it was laid out, and the kitchenette had JUST what I needed. Appreciated how she checked in on me before, during, and after. I could definitely see staying there next time I'm in the area. BruceBruce2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
Ambers place was just as described, a private studio in her house. It was well stocked with plates, towels, cutlery. There was a big closet. Its perfect for a short stay.Antonio2017-02-10T00:00:00Z
The listing is recently renovated, so a lot is brand new. Everything I could think of was readily available in the apartment-coffee, ziplock baggies, and dishes. Amber was available at all times and communicated very well about all aspects of her home. She has truly provided a home away home. Great experience! Just to be clear on one point: the studio entrance is located on the backside of the home shown in the picture.Bell2016-07-29T00:00:00Z
This space was exactly as advertised and had everything I needed. It was right down the street from the church and the reception for the wedding I was attending. I took a taxi from the airport and it was about $40, same going back. I didn't explore the area much, I wasn't there very long. The restaurant I wasn't able to try, it didn't open until 4. The convenience store is within walking distance and had just enough food to get me through the day. The wifi worked great. I was able to sit out on the porch and enjoy the backyard while watching Netflix. Amber was very helpful and answered all my questions whenever I asked. She kept in touch to make sure I didn't need anything.Becky2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

This was the perfect place to stay! Round lake is a beautiful, magic little town, and Alexandra was the perfect attentive host. I would definitely recommend staying here.Dana2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
This is a very nice house in the cutest little town. Alexandra's mom was there to greet me when I arrived and Alexandra was available via text/email and answered any questions I had during my stay. She was also very understanding when I had to unexpectedly cut my stay short by one night. The house was comfortable and quiet, and the best part was the little deck on the second floor where there is a table and chairs that you can eat or read at, or just watch the sun set. There is a full kitchen and Alexandra put out coffee to use in the coffee maker. The house is clean and there was a basket of toiletries in the bathroom, which made it feel very welcoming. Round Lake is a charming and peaceful little tucked away village close to Saratoga Springs, Troy, and Albany. It's right off of 87 but feels secluded. The streets are narrow and winding and lined with the cutest little gingerbread house, most of which have paper lamps on the porches that light up at night. If you live in upstate New York and have never been to Round Lake, you should go. You will honestly say, 'I can't believe I didn't know about this place!' There is a restaurant a block away from the house, but I didn't eat there. If you are looking for a quiet weekend (or longer) getaway, I recommend Alexandra's gingerbread house.Jennifer2016-07-19T00:00:00Z
Alexandra was an excellent host. Communications were excellent, the house was perfect and the town of Round Lake was outstanding. We fully enjoyed Leah's Bakery, the Lake Ridge restaurant and the Zim Smith Trail during our stay. We will definitely make a return visit.George2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely old home in a historic small town. The home was well appointed and full of charm. We made some dinner in the kitchen and enjoyed sitting out on the front porch watching the locals walking about. My wife wandered the streets after dark taking photos of the paper lanterns that are displayed on many of the front porches. The second night much of the locals were gathered for a movie marathon in the town hall. Do yourself a favor and visit Leah's Cakery (URL HIDDEN) while in Round Lake.Wes2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
The Gingerbread House is in Round Lake (a lovely community of only 250 people). The house and the other houses on the street reminded me of the houses in New Orleans. Each have big porches with lovely intricate woodwork. We learned from Wil our host that the Gingerbread House is from the 1850's. The house has been completely renovated with the finest of finishes (although very tastefully, some old relics are intact) so that it is very comfortable, in impeccable shape and immaculate. Wil was extremely kind and helpful and the house was stocked with everything we could want including Saratoga spring water and beer. The washer and dryer were the best I've come across! There are good restaurants in Round Lake, but it's only about a 10 minute drive to Saratoga Springs which has many restaurants and attractions. Thank you Wil, we enjoyed our stay in your Gingerbread house immensely!Muriel2016-10-01T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely stay in round lake. The house and surrounding town were lovely. The host accommodated our schedule and met us on time. I surely will return.Lora2016-09-13T00:00:00Z
This was a great experience for me. It was my second BnB I've done, and the entire process was flawless. Will & Alexandra were very accommodating, the place was spotless, a great little town. I had an awesome stay and would definitely recommend the place for anyone looking to be in the area.Victor2016-11-14T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed our stay in the Gingerbread House in Round Lake. The little house was very comfortable and the village of Round Lake is a cute little town to walk around in. We hope to be able to stay here again.Tom2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

We had a very relaxing time. The views from the house and decks are better than you can imagine! Walk to market for staples is close. Boats are fun to take on the lake. Very relaxing, oddly arranged living areas (but cool) almost like a tree house on the water - it's so close. 5 grown adults all got their own bed and all had room.Lewis2015-06-11T00:00:00Z
Nancy is wonderful and has an amazing house on Lake Luzerne. She provided all the needed information regarding the house upfront so we were well prepared when we arrived. The house was neat and in good form upon arrival and her recommendations for the surrounding area were perfect for the weekend we were looking for. I would highly recommend Nancy and her beautiful home!David2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
This Lake Luzerne house is beautiful and has the best location on the lake. We loved the town and especially the house. Being right next to the beach was an added bonus. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this place for anyone.Shawn2014-06-23T00:00:00Z
This house is as beautiful as it is described. I spent a weekend there with my family. No matter we were having BBQ on the deck or playing board games in the house, it was just pleasant and enjoyable at all time. We had a blast. Nancy provided a thorough house manual. We didn't have any problem finding the place nor using the facilities. Highly recommended!Kevin2014-05-12T00:00:00Z
beautiful location literally right on the water, next to public beach on one side and on private cove with dock and raft on the other. Very quiet, small lake. Fun fishing for kids right off the dock. Separate levels in the house are great for spreading out-ideal for family with kids. Morning sun. Deck has tables and chairs for eating outside. Mollies Mason Jar restaurant great for breakfast and adjacent Wood-fired Pizza is right next door. If you want to eat at Upriver Cafe, get a reservation to eat on the porch-great view, ok food.Pamela2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Just got back from an amazing stay over Memorial Day weekend. There were 10 of us in the house and it never felt cramped or too busy. The house was isolated, but not too far away from the mini-mart, and the beach next door was a little busy but never too loud. Nancy has a great selection of games, puzzles and books that we dug through when it rained a bit, but the canoe and kayak held our attention when the sun came back out. Couldn't have picked a better place for the weekend. Nancy was very helpful and responsive on email and made everything as easy as possible. Hope to go back soon!Caitlin2014-05-27T00:00:00Z
TRANQUIL & RELAXING !!!!....about sums up the experience at The Chura residence. We couldn't have been more pleased by the responses and services provided by Nancy. The house is absolutely beautiful and the surrounding area breathtaking !! Just sitting on the deck and having a cup of coffee in the morning and looking over the lake just represents peace and quiet in the best way imaginable. Plan on getting some friends together and reserve in the future because "getting away from it all" is where the Chura residence takes you....Thomas2014-08-31T00:00:00Z
Very accurate description of lake home. Cabin was actually larger than we expected. Directions clear and easy to locate and access. Key box simple. Would recommend.Jim2015-09-28T00:00:00Z

Rita is the perfect host and her accommodation is first class. The rooms are spotlessly clean and she has gone out of her way to make her guests fell very comfortable. It's a real home from home. There is nothing to fault and everything to praise as Rita has thought of everything. This is my first experience with Airbnb and I fear Rita has set the bar very high for further hosts. Thank you Rita.John2016-10-05T00:00:00Z
Rita has been a wonderful host! Her gracious hospitality and her lovely home has made our stay with her very cozy. Definitely recommend her home to anyone looking for a great place to stay!Taras2016-08-11T00:00:00Z
Rita's home was quaint and cozy. The fireplace was an unexpected amenity which my boyfriend and I loved having. Rita gave everything you needed for a comfortable stay, from the big things like a toaster and refrigerator to the small things like shampoo, cotton swabs, a hairdryer, and toothpaste. The location was great! It was close to the town as well as close to the highway to get where we were going easily and quickly. We had a great stay!Stephanie2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
Rita made us feel so welcome at her place. Our trip brought us to the area for my mother in law's funeral, rather then a get away Rita sincerely extended her condolences.

Very cozy, warmly and thoughtfully decorated! Check in and out was easy, and the room was private and secure. It snowed the day I was there, so the fireplace was a very nice and pleasant surprise. I hope to stay again should I ever be in Glens Falls and Rita's place is available!Megan2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

We had a fabulous time at Will's house! The house itself was wonderful- great layout, comfy furniture and amazing location on the lake. We had plenty of room of all 7 of us and felt at home immediately. A few highlights- my son loved the outdoor shower, and claw foot tub. The lake and beach are was also great. The house is nicely set back from the road and the short walk down the hill to the lake has nice views. We used the mooring ball for our boat and it worked fine. We also liked the canoes and kayaks. Will was an exceptional host- very communicative and accommodating on all fronts. I left my purse on the deck on our last day and he worked really hard to get it back to me in a timely fashion- he really went above and beyond. We will definitely be returning to this house!Lindsay2015-08-18T00:00:00Z
Nothing more to say than 5 stars : both the place and the host were fabulous... Cosy house with a feeling of rough nature around. A warm athmosphere, perfect to spend a time chilling with your friends, making some barbecue, kayaking or for a romantic moment with your partner. Big Thanks to Will for his great reactivity, efficiency and flexibility!Laurence 2015-06-03T00:00:00Z
We had an amazing time at Will's home. The place was clean and absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect space for us to enjoy our amazing weekend just like we intended on. Anyone would be pleased staying here! Thank you Will!Randi2015-09-21T00:00:00Z
Will was both attentive leading up to our trip and extremely prompt and transparent about any questions we had. His place is beautiful and every bit the getaway that is advertised. I would recommend him as a host to anyone and recommend his cabin as an amazing adirondack retreat.Andrew2014-09-15T00:00:00Z
Great communication and extremely prompt responses. We had an awesome time despite Mother Nature not at her best. But it hardly impacted our vacation. The house is warm and inviting and has lots of character. The beds - all queen - were extremely comfortable and despite temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, the sleeping conditions were great as the lake breeze cooled at night. The best part of our stay was of course, the lake itself. Will's property has a large and secluded sandy beach. We only saw Will's neighbors once during our stay. I loved the hammock. The scenery is spectacular. If you are thinking of a stay, I would highly recommend!!! Thanks Will for hosting our vacation. Nicely done!Kris2016-08-19T00:00:00Z
We had such a wonderful time at Will's lovely cabin. He was extremely helpful and communicative, recommending hikes and bike rides--which were a great way to experience the beauty of the surrounding area. We would definitely return for another stay!William2016-09-25T00:00:00Z
Beautiful property. The house looks out to a sandy beach and gorgeous lake. We had a fabulous relaxing time and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet get away.Kate2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

Wendy was a great host. The house was perfect for our families. Tons of living space, the pool was amazing and the backyard and farm was great for our kids to explore. We will be there again next summer!!! Very close to town and Lake George which was awesome. Thanks again for a great experience. Matt, David, Tamara & BethMatthew2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
Our family gathered at the Urban Farm House to be together. The farm house was an amazing, beautiful home which was spacious enough for everyone to be comfortable and visit. Wendy met us to introduce us to the home and answered all our questions. The pool was so inviting on the hot July days and we all enjoyed relaxing poolside. Every aspect of the urban farmhouse was influenced by Wendy's warm hospitality from the lovely blueberry coffee cake and flowers picked from the property to the well equipped kitchen for making delicious family meals. It was the perfect house for our family and we had a fire in the fire pit one night to relax together. We all loved spending time together and we all hope to return to the farmhouse in the future. I left a scarf when we left and Wendy offered to mail it to me. Thank you so much, Wendy.Beth2016-07-12T00:00:00Z
Felt very welcome from the moment we walked in and saw the note from the host and the raspberry cake. Location was very convenient to nearby attractions (mini-golf, outlet shops, etc) and a short easy drive to Lake George. Would definitely recommend to others. We hope to be back next year.andrew2016-07-27T00:00:00Z
We stayed at Wendy's home over the July 4th weekend and had an absolutely amazing time. The home is beautiful and the property has everything that you could ask for. Wendy was a very gracious host, providing us with delicious fruits and baked goods upon arrival. When inside of the house, we spent a majority of our time in the chef-inspired kitchen as it was just a beautiful place to be. This house will be the first house we will check availability for when planning our next trip up to the Saratoga/Lake George area. Thanks Wendy!Joe2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
We had a great time. When we arrived we felt welcomed. There was a blueberry crumb cake waiting for us. Each bedroom welcomed us as well. The home is an updated farmhouse with industrial decor infused throughout. A large updated kitchen and appliances will help you make the perfect meal. Very close to everything, very convenient. We all enjoyed the pool as well. Downside / upside internet service is slow and in parts of home but that was ok as "we " connected " with each other. We had a " family " vacation here. My 16 year old daughter did not pick up her phone once, a miracle. Thanks again Wendy,Reg2016-08-11T00:00:00Z
Our host, Wendy, made us feel very welcome from the beginning. Everything was very clean and organized well. The kitchen was so nice, we mostly stayed there while indoors. I don't want to ruin any surprises but Wendy left us a few treats which we loved. Thanks Wendy!Andy2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
The farmhouse was the perfect weekend getaway! Wendy welcomed us with a delicious, home-baked raspberry cake, fresh cut flowers, and fruit. The charming decor was amazing. The incredible kitchen was the perfect space to share some family time. The property was absolutely beautiful and so serene, yet so close to outlets, restaurants, and the lake. The outdoor space including pool, pond, barn, and fireplace were simply fantastic. We appreciated Wendy and Bill's efforts to create a house book with useful tips. We dined at a recommended restaurant and enjoyed learning about the rooster as told by Grandma. The personal touches were so appreciated. This property is highly recommended for anyone looking to visit the Lake George, Bolton Landing or Saratoga Springs areas. Thank you Wendy and family for sharing your wondrous home with my family! Many beautiful memories were made this weekend!Kelly2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
The photos don't do the house justice - spacious, gorgeous and relaxing! Wendy was an accommodating and lovely host, responsive whenever we had any questions. We arrived to a snack waiting for us in the kitchen, and she left an extensive manual for restaurants/activities to do in the area. We couldn't ask for a better host and will be recommending to our friends. Thanks Wendy!Lisa2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Very nice place and great hosts. There was some caked on grease on pots and pans, probably from previous guests. I cleaned them the best I could. All in all, a great experience.Johannah2016-12-30T00:00:00Z
Loved this place right on the water. Absolutely beautiful!Carolyn2017-02-12T00:00:00Z
This cozy apartment was perfect for a girls weekend upstate. We had great brunch in Troy and ended up lighting a fire with Richard in his fire pit along the Hudson River. It was perfect and Richard was a great and generous host! He even filled the fridge with staple items like milk and eggs as well and OJ, apple cider, butter, and gave us bagels and cereal! Awesome AirBnB experience.Eileen2016-11-20T00:00:00Z
We had a nice stay ! Jeannie was really kind and helpfull and we enjoyed having this quiet beautiful outside just for us ! Maybe the kitchen should be a little more equiped for cooking and adapted for guests ! Anyway we recommand the place for its very calm and nice view !Swan2016-07-23T00:00:00Z
Richard was a great host, welcomed me and provided much useful information to help me enjoy my stay. The riverfront decks are great for relaxation. Easy access to a rail trail that takes you to downtyown Troy. The location was perfect for my purpose.Jeffrey2015-09-13T00:00:00Z
The River House is great. Richard & Jeannie could not have been more gracious and we were sorry to be so busy that we could not take advantage of their invitation for a boat ride on the Hudson or a bagel breakfast. The space suited my RPI son and me perfectly-the full kitchen was a plus. Of course, as I live in the desert, waking up to the river view was wonderful. The neighborhood is quiet, SAFE and only a ten minute drive to campus. I wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you Richard and Jeannie!Dayle2015-10-13T00:00:00Z
Nice location on the water. Limited parking in a neighborhood that didn't feel too safe at night. Basic apartment with warm and accommodating hosts.Lisa2016-05-14T00:00:00Z
My husband, son and I spent four days at Richard's Airbnb because my son was taking the Bar in Albany. This is a great place to stay for all you law students. It is about 25 minutes from the testing site in traffic, but to be able to come back to the place after the exam each day and chill out by the water was perfect. Quiet too for those extra study days. My husband and I enjoyed walking around (state park easy to walk to) and visiting downtown Troy and Albany. Lots of free music in the park around and even free shows in the summer in Washington Park. Richard and his wife were very friendly and invited us for breakfast one morning (they live upstairs). Very helpful letting us in early and giving us advice. Groceries, subs, donuts, pizza a five minute walk away. Outside decks make this a great place! Easy street parking. Diverse neighborhood; easy to be comfortable.Patricia2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

We stayed here two nights while our daughter visited Skidmore College. The host was ready to greet us even after a later than expected arrival time. He even provided delicious breakfast goodies for us knowing that we had an early start the next day and no chance to go to the store. The apartment was spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is a beautiful,quiet, rural setting but an easy drive into town. We hope to be back soon!Joanna2016-08-02T00:00:00Z
The loft was a perfect getaway! We visit the Saratoga region every summer. For the last ten years we did the hotel thing. Now that we have a toddler, a home like setting is a better fit for our family. Jonathan's loft was perfect for our family of three. Exactly as described, clean, comfortable and plenty of room for our two year old to play! Jonathan is a wonderful and gracious host. We will absolutely we back again!Jill2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
I was looking for a nice place to stay to check out local hiking spots and I stumbled across Jonathan's Loft 1 bedroom. Jonathan was an excellent host and responded to my request immediately and followed up by phone to find out our arrival time. He gave us great directions to the place since my GPS told us the house was a little down the street. Jonathan greeted us (offered ATV rides but it was a little chilly out) and showed us the space and it was spotless and spacious for two people. All the necessities you would expect in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. Overall, this is a great place for anyone looking for a little getaway.Nimisha2016-01-04T00:00:00Z
Jon's place is very scenic, quiet, and private. It's upstairs from a large garage so we had the building to ourselves. He provided fresh farm eggs and bagels which was a really sweet touch. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook a few meals. A great value on idyllic farm country, super relaxing and chill vibes. Would definitely stay againAmaya2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I stayed at Jonathan's for a last minute weekend get away. Jonathan responded to our request to book with him very quickly. When we arrived we were immediately very happy with our choice. The loft is even nicer in person and exceeded our expectations. Jonathan was extremely hospitable. He provided us with a few provisions and made suggestions on local activities in order to get the full experience of the area. We loved the views and being surrounded by nothing but farms. It was a very peaceful stay and we look forward to booking here again.Chrissy2015-10-20T00:00:00Z
Had a nice time. Friendly host. Rate 4.8Gershon2016-08-27T00:00:00Z
Jonathan was a fantastic host! He was very gracious and truly made our stay most pleasant. He went the extra mile showing us where everything was and even proving some snacks, breakfast items, and local farm fresh eggs! It is a very scenic location, clean, well equipped and even better in person! Thank-You for a wonderful stay!Margaret2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Jonathon let us drop off our bags early and made us feel really welcome. He stocked the kitchen with fresh corn and local eggs, coffee, drinks and snacks. The apartment is well appointed and the location/views gorgeous. We were very comfortable and will be back!Kim 2016-08-18T00:00:00Z

How welcoming was my host? Amazing! We fell into an easy conversation over a nice glass of red wine quickly that continued right until the moment she hugged me goodbye at the train station! I loved her Bed and Breakfast and adore her hubby (we enjoyed a dinner out, which was lovely too!). The room was lovely, the bed very comfortable and easy access to warming up the room if I needed to ward off the chill of winter. But it was quite cosy yet roomy and comfortable! They have travel extras in case you forget yours in the bath and everything was clean and in great working order. Absolutely fell in love with the cats! And they both enjoyed playing with my toys.Lori2016-01-13T00:00:00Z
Berta and Steve were so gracious to us during our first Airbnb experience! Berta served breakfast and is an incredible cook. She made us feel welcome the minute we arrived. The place was clean, bed was comfortable and the environment peaceful. I would stay again in a heartbeat!!Julia2016-07-03T00:00:00Z
Berta and Steve were the perfect hosts! So welcoming, with snacks and wine and great conversation, on their lovely porch overlooking the river. Their home is beautiful, with no detail overlooked in their guest rooms - very comfortable beds - and they went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The next morning, we enjoyed a lovely homemade breakfast on the porch, and a ride on their bike-built-for-two on the river path. We were traveling between Albany and Saratoga Springs, and this location is very close and convenient to both. A magical weekend!Kathryn2015-07-12T00:00:00Z
It was an awesome experience staying with Berta and Steve. My first experience with Airbnb and I guss it could not have been better than this. Both of them were extremely helpful. We stayed with them for more than 4 weeks. The house has a perfect view of lake and sunset. My 4 year daughter had excellent time with Berta and specially with the kittens Berta has. Highly Recommended.Abhijeet2015-09-23T00:00:00Z
Wonderful hosts! Would stay there again in a New York second!Therese2016-08-29T00:00:00Z
From the moment we arrived, Berta and Steve made me and my girlfriend feel welcome. It happened to be my birthday during our visit, and Berta surprised me with a flourless chocolate cake! On top of that, we were greeted with sliced melon and iced tea, to be enjoyed on their beautiful riverside deck. We were without a car, so Berta and Steve offered to join us (and drive us) for dinner at Brown's Brewing Co. We all had a lovely time, and afterward they took us on a gorgeous, historical tour of some of Albany's architectural wonders. They are both engaging and very warm hosts. The house itself is amazing! They bumped us up to their larger spare room and called it a birthday present... as if the cake wasn't enough. The views are incredible. They have a tandem bike and a single seater, which can be taken literally miles in either direction on the bike path right in front of the house. The cats are entertaining and cute. Steve has his violin repair shop/office connected to the house, so if you get a chance to see that it's pretty neat. Finally, we had an early flight the next morning, which was why we looked for a listing in this area. It's quite close to the Albany airport. Lo and behold, Steve works there and was kind enough to give us a ride on his way! We considered ourselves more than lucky. All in all, I could write a ton about this experience... but it still wouldn't do it justice. My girlfriend and I had a simply amazing - albeit brief - stay with Berta and Steve. If we are back in the area, I will be sure to look them up. I would highly recommend this listing. 11/10 exceeded all expectations. Thanks Berta and Steve!Cameron2015-08-11T00:00:00Z
Berta and Steve's welcome was figuratively and literally warm. They greeted me with good cheer and great conversation. The weather was turning cool and not only did I have control over the temperature in my room but they also lit a fire in the fireplace to warm this chilly Floridian(URL HIDDEN)The cheer and bigheartedness of their personalities was also very comforting. I immediately felt right at home and was so glad I had chosen their beautiful house for my stay. The description of their house was entirely accurate. My room with its own bathroom was clean and comfortable. The view of the Mohawk River was exquisite, especially late in the day with the moon and the mist rising. Gorgeous(URL HIDDEN)Berta made wonderful breakfasts each morning with good coffee and homemade baked goods. When I had to leave very early in the morning to catch my flight home, Berta even made sure I was well fed. I hope to stay with Berta and Steve next time I'm in the area.Lynda2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
Berta was extremely nice and the room was very comfortable. She made us a great breakfast both mornings, and was really fun to talk to. We watched a movie one night with her and her two cats. We had a great time, and would definitely stay with Berta again.Jonathan2015-10-05T00:00:00Z

Marine Le Pen (French pronunciation: [ma.ʁin lə.pɛn]; born Marion Anne Perrine Le Pen; 5 August 1968) is a lawyer by profession, a French right-wing politician and the president of the Front National (FN), the third-largest political party in France, since 16 January 2011. She is the youngest daughter of the French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen, former president of the FN and currently its honorary chairman.
She joined the FN in 1986, its Executive Committee in 2000 and was a vice-president of the FN for eight years (2003–2011). She currently is an ex-officio member of the FN Executive Office, Executive Committee and Central Committee.
She has been a regional councillor since 1998 (Île-de-France: 2004–2010, Nord-Pas-de-Calais: 1998–2004, 2010–present), a Member of the European Parliament since 2004 (Île-de-France: 2004–2009, North-West France: 2009–present) and was a municipal councillor in Hénin-Beaumont, Pas-de-Calais for three years (2008–2011).
In 2010, she was a candidate for the leadership of the FN set up by Jean-Marie Le Pen on 5 October 1972. She successfully succeeded him during the FN congress in Tours, Indre-et-Loire. On 16 January 2011, she was elected with 67.65% (11,546 votes) as the second president of the Front National.
Marie-Ségolène Royal (pronounced: [seɡɔlɛn ʁwajal] ( listen); born 22 September 1953), known as Ségolène Royal, is a French politician. She is the president of the Poitou-Charentes Regional Council, a former member of the National Assembly, a former government minister, and a prominent member of the French Socialist Party. The first woman in France to be nominated by a major party, she was the Socialist candidate in the 2007 French presidential election but lost to Nicolas Sarkozy on 6 May 2007. In 2008, Royal narrowly lost to Martine Aubry in the Socialist Party's election for First Secretary at the Party's twenty-second national congress. On 30 November 2010, Royal announced her intentions to again seek the PS nomination for President in 2012 but she lost the Socialist Party presidential primary in 2011.
Ségolène Royal was born in the military base of Ouakam, Dakar, French West Africa (now Senegal) on 22 September 1953, the daughter of Hélène Dehaye and Jacques Royal, a former artillery officer and aide to the mayor of Chamagne (Vosges).
François Gérard Georges Nicolas Hollande (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa ɔlɑ̃d]; born 12 August 1954) is the 24th President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. He previously served as the First Secretary of the French Socialist Party from 1997 to 2008 and as a Deputy of the National Assembly of France for Corrèze's 1st Constituency from 1988 to 1993 and then again from 1997 to 2012. He also served as the Mayor of Tulle from 2001 to 2008 and the President of the General Council of Corrèze from 2008 to 2012.
He was elected President of France on 6 May 2012, defeating the incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, and was inaugurated on 15 May. He is the second Socialist President of the Fifth French Republic, after François Mitterrand who served from 1981 to 1995.
Hollande was born in Rouen, Seine-Maritime, Upper Normandy, to a middle-class family. His mother, Nicole Frédérique Marguerite Tribert (1927–2009), was a social worker, and his father, Georges Gustave Hollande, an ear, nose, and throat doctor who "had once run for the extreme right in local politics." The surname "Hollande" is "believed to come from Calvinist ancestors who escaped Holland (the Netherlands) in the 16th century and took the name of their old country." Hollande was raised Catholic but quietly rebelled against the strict religious brothers chosen by his father to educate him. The family moved to Neuilly, a suburb of Paris, when Hollande was 13.
Dominique Marie François René Galouzeau de Villepin French pronunciation: [dɔminik də vilpɛ̃] ( listen) (born 14 November 1953) is a French politician who served as the Prime Minister of France from 31 May 2005 to 17 May 2007.
A career diplomat, Villepin rose through the ranks of the French right as one of Jacques Chirac's protégés. He came into the international spotlight as Foreign Minister with his opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq which culminated with a speech to the UN (French address on Iraq at the UN Security Council).
Villepin was indicted in connection with the Clearstream affair, but was subsequently cleared of charges of complicity in allowing false accusations to proceed against presidential rival Nicolas Sarkozy regarding bribes paid on a sale of warships to Taiwan. Villepin has enjoyed a modest return to public favour for his public critique of President Sarkozy's style of "imperial rule."
He has written poetry, a book about poetry, and several historical and political essays, along with a study of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Nicolas Sarkozy (pronounced [ni.kɔ.la saʁ.kɔ.zi] ( listen), born Nicolas Paul Stéphane Sarközy de Nagy-Bocsa; 28 January 1955) is a French politician who served as the 23rd President of the French Republic from 16 May 2007 until 15 May 2012.
Before his presidency, he was leader of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP). Under Jacques Chirac's presidency he served as Minister of the Interior in Jean-Pierre Raffarin's (UMP) first two governments (from May 2002 to March 2004), then was appointed Minister of Finances in Raffarin's last government (March 2004 to May 2005) and again Minister of the Interior in Dominique de Villepin's government (2005–2007).
Sarkozy was also president of the General council of the Hauts-de-Seine department from 2004 to 2007 and mayor of Neuilly-sur-Seine, one of the wealthiest communes of France from 1983 to 2002. He was Minister of the Budget in the government of Édouard Balladur (RPR, predecessor of the UMP) during François Mitterrand's last term.
In foreign affairs, he promised a strengthening of the entente cordiale with the United Kingdom and closer cooperation with the United States. During his term, he faced the late-2000s financial crisis (followed by the recession and the debt crisis caused by it) and the Arab Spring (especially in Tunisia, Libya, and Syria). He also married Italian-French singer-songwriter Carla Bruni on 2 February 2008 at the Élysée Palace in Paris.
Eva Joly (French pronunciation: [eva ʒɔli]; born Gro Eva Farseth, 5 December 1943) is a Norwegian-born French magistrate («Juge d'instruction») and politician for Europe Écologie–The Greens. She represented this party as a candidate for the presidency of France in the 2012 elections.
Born in Grünerløkka, Oslo, she moved to Paris at 20 to work as an au pair. There she married the son of the family that employed her, Pascal Joly (now deceased) and adopted her middle name 'Eva', which is easier to pronounce in French.
Working as a secretary, she took her legal education at night school and became a magistrate when she was 38. Joly specialised in financial affairs, and in 1990 she joined the High Court of Paris as an investigating judge.
Here she quickly made a mark with her tireless crusade against corruption, in particular taking on, among others, former minister Bernard Tapie and the bank Crédit Lyonnais. Her most famous case, however, was that of France's leading oil company – Elf Aquitaine. In the face of death threats, she carried on the case to uncover several cases of fraud, leading to the conviction of tens of persons involved in the oil business. In 2001, she received for this work the award for integrity from the non governmental organisation Transparency International.

Keys to Success
In a Habitat for Humanity house, a family can unlock their highest potential.
Why? Because a Habitat homeowner is an empowered homeowner.
The affordable mortgage of a Habitat house means financial freedom and stability. The healthy environment of a sturdy, snug Habitat house is an environment where children can grow, study and play. And the community that connects to help more families build better futures is a strong alliance of mutual support.
Independence, security, peace of mind. A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
"We know we have a permanent place now. We can plan for things."
"We came to understand what being accepted felt like."
"I am a role model for my daughter, showing her what hard work brings."
Habitat knows that when we partner with a family to create decent and affordable housing, we help that family forge a path out of poverty.
"Habitat educated me not only on the repairs, but on the health issues too. I didn't know leaking and standing water could affect my health."

"I think the science is getting clearer and clearer," he said in an exclusive Evening Standard interview. "We have less time to act than was thought to be the case."
Mr Benn's comments will alarm motorists already fuming at higher taxes on gas-guzzling cars. They come before tonight's debate on the Government's Climate Change Bill, organised by pressure group Friends of the Earth and chaired by the Standard's Anne McElvoy, where he will be called on to justify legislation that green groups criticise for being too tame.
His critics want a target written into the Bill for an 80 per cent cut in carbon emissions by 2050 instead of the current figure of 60 per cent. And they are furious the target ignores carbon pumped out by aircraft and shipping.
Mr Benn said the independent committee on climate change will make recommendations by the end of the year on whether to adopt a higher target. He gave strong hints that he would accept any recommendation it made, but drew back from a cast-iron commitment.
He said: "The committee's recommendations will have huge weight and authority."
Mr Benn hailed the Bill as a groundbreaking measure that would put Britain at the head of the world in tackling carbon emissions. He believes the Bill's provision for a fiveyearly plan for the amount of carbon that can be produced will transform the green debate by forcing governments, campaigners and the public to weigh up the costs of their activities.
He urged the green movement to accept the need for a new wave of nuclear power stations, which are cleaner per kilowatt than coal or gas.
On the criticism that aviation and shipping emissions are not counted, he said: "If a ship leaves London, fuels in international waters, picks up cargo in Europe and takes it to Sydney, which country carries the carbon cost?"

Winter is coming, but it's going to be much shorter than usual. Or at least the characters will, and not just the Imp. We're seriously freaking out over these amazing custom Lego Minifigs inspired by Game of Thrones.
MiniBIGS on Etsy draws and custom pad-prints minifigures the same way LEGO does, which means that the details won't fade or rub off, even during sword fights. This "Throne of Bricks" five-pack includes The Imp, Underfoot, Warden of the North, The Bastard, and Mother of Dragons. Which translates to Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark, Ned Stark, Jon Snow, and Daenerys Targaryen. And OMG, that adorable dragon!
They really captured Jon Snow's weird mix of competent courage and insecure self-hate, don't you think?
This pack of five is listed as Series 1, and I can't wait to see who's in Series 2. Maybe one day you can buy the Red Wedding Funtimes Playset! The only rub, of course, is that they cost more than a dragon egg, so you definitely won't let the kids mix them in with the Harry Potter train. Bu
Find these Throne of Bricks mini figures at the miniBIGS store on Etsy. They're selling a lot of Ron Burgundy, these days, and they also have some Walking Dead minifigs.

Wow, this is the most words, work, and time I have put into a story/chapter so far. TheAwkwardBystander came up with the idea of this story and I wrote it, so give lots of credit to her!
Read, Review and Enjoy!
Loss is like a hole in your chest. Like some animal has eaten your heart out yet left you alive, so that every day you could wish you weren't. Neji made me lots of promises; we'd promised each other that we were going to die together. Neji had kept every promise but one. Neji had died before his time, and I was paying for it just as much as he had.
"This is a spectacular funeral, if you ask me," an insensitive Hyuuga elder proclaimed during the reception. I growled softly to myself. This was a horrible funeral. This was a horrible, unforgiving, evil world. No world with any goodness would kill Neji. My Neji.
I had tearstains all over my face, the collar of my shirt was wet with the tears that had rolled down my cheek and dripped of my chin. I wouldn't cry anymore here, but I knew I had a long night ahead of my full of gut wrenching sobs.
All the Hyuuga elders, who upon hearing of Neji's death claimed they wear extremely sorry about the loss of one of their own (I knew better), had insisted that I wear a fancy black ball gown. It had been strapless and had hugged my chest to the top of my hips then flared out. I declined. I knew Neji wouldn't want me to be any different at his funeral than any other time. I was in a black tee-shirt and black jeans. Naruto, who had recently become Hokage, walked over to me.
"I never should've sent him on the mission. I-I, I'm so, so sorry TenTen," Naruto got out, his breath short and rugged. Hinata stood at his side, squeezing his hand comfortingly. I just nodded, I knew my voice would be broken and hoarse and horrible if I attempted to speak. "TenTen," Naruto continued on, "I know this is hard, but I'll do whatever I can as your Hokage, and friend, to help you through this." I nodded again. I had no need to talk. I had no need for anything anymore. My appetite for life had been put out like a light.
I walked away from everyone. I walked away from all the Hyuuga's who now pretended that they gave a damn about Neji, all those who had been a part of Neji's life. Why'd you leave me? Why did you break your promise? My breathing picked up, my shoulders moving with the intensity of my inhaling and exhaling. I closed my eyes, calming myself down.
I knew I couldn't stay at the funeral much longer. I didn't want to keep up the act that I was somewhat okay. I couldn't keep up the act that I had some sanity left in me, some need to live; some thought that someday things would be okay. Neji had been the reason I had gotten up each day, and now he was gone.
I slowly made my way to the casket. I didn't know if I wanted to see him. He'd been murdered gruesomely while trying to protect some woman and the powerful scroll she possessed. Three steps, four steps closer to where he lay, never to move again. Deep breaths, I told myself.
I stood in front of the fancy cherry wood coffin. I was shaking, a sort of trembling from my core. Maybe that was my heart breaking apart and turning to dust. I peered over the side of the coffin. He was lying, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes closed, with a placid look on his forever-unmoving face. I'd never again see that smirk creep up on his lips; never again see that playful glint in his milky eyes. I stroked his long silky brown hair. Positively quivering, I set a white rose, his favorite, onto his chest.
"Neji," I whispered, my voice even worse than I had feared, "I love you," I couldn't bring myself to say the word 'goodbye,' instead I took off running, running away from the funeral, and away from my thoughts.
When I finally stopped at my house I was dripping in sweat, my calves were burning, and my heart ka-thudded like a freight train. I wiped off my wet face with my wet hands. The smell the salt from the sweat on my skin tickled my nose, and I was plunged into a sea of memories.
"WAIT!" Gai yelled throwing his hands up as if he was stopping traffic. His team stopped, mid-workout, Neji and I with bemused aggravation, Lee with attentive admiration, "DO YOU SMELL THAT MY CHILDREN OF YOUTH?" Gai yelled his pupils who were merely feet away. I sniffed the air cautiously. All I could smell was a bad mix of body odor and the chicken with rice we'd eaten for lunch. "THAT IS THE SMELL HARDWORK, DETERMINATION, AND VICOTRY!" Gai said pumping his fists toward the sky.
"YES!" Lee yelled back at Gai, "I SMELL IT! I SMELL VICTORY! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, YOUTHFUL SCENT!"
I looked over at Neji. He was rolling his eyes. Neji noticed me watching and smiled at me. This was just one of the many interruptions to our workout that Gai found necessary.
"YES LEE! I KNEW YOU'D UNDERSTAND! NOW BACK TO IT!" Gai bellowed, ushering us off. Starting to run again Neji came up beside me.
"Do you want to go have lunch after this?"He asked me. We'd been dating for a few weeks now, but my heart still skipped a beat when he talked to me, and my stomach still melted into butterflies.
"Of course," I said, smiling. He was so perfect. We ran together, our breathing mixing to make one big 'whoosh' of in and out, in and out. Our steps were on the same beat too. Step, step, step, whoosh, step, step, step, whoosh. I didn't need to look at him to see him; it was as if his image was burned into my mind's eye. Miles that would've usually been torture, some cruel exercise that Gai thought was a 'fun, youthful treat,' was over in what felt like seconds.
"Ready?" Neji asked, as I finished packing up. I was drenched in my sweat, and was pretty sure that I was red and blotchy too, but I didn't think Neji really minded how I looked.
"Yeah," I replied, scooping up my bag. Yet before I could lug my crap over my shoulder strong hands were taking it out of my grip. Neji pulled my pack over his shoulder then turned to face me.
Slowly, ever so slowly, he leaned down, his soft pale-pink lips caressed mine. It was slow and sweet, his lips warm without being uncomfortable. The touch was pure bliss. It was romantic and gentlemanly, while being still managing to be passionate.
"IT IS A TOUCH OF PURE LOVE! A YOUTHFUL EMBRACE THAT TWINES TOGETHER THE HEARTS OF TWO YOUNG SOULS THAT WILL BE TOGETHER FOR ALL ETERNITY!" Lee cried out, scaring both Neji and I, making me go pink. Lee was starting to cry, something he often did when he felt strong emotions. "IT IS A GLORIOUS DAY!" he sang through his tears. I looked at Neji, who licked his bottom lip lightly with the tip of his tongue in an embarrassed but still pleased way-something I found extremely cute- and I couldn't help but agree with Lee: today was a glorious day.
I collapsed at my door while sobs overwhelmed my body. Neji had always been a gentleman. He had been kind, and sweet, caring and passionate, loving and beautiful and athletic and perfect. He had been perfect for me. And now I'd never see him again. I'd never feel his strong muscled arms wrap around my waist while he nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck, or see his gorgeous face in the moonlight. Nor would I be woken up his hand stroking my face; never again could I talk, train, or be with him. He had left me, and he couldn't come back.
I crawled up the steps to my house. I didn't much care to walk. I didn't much care to live. I slowly turned the knob and shoved the door open. After closing and locking the door I fell into a heap on the carpet and balled. Really truly balled like a new born baby. Like a weak baby. My nose filled as fast as my eyes did and I hiccupped as I tried to breathe through all the waterworks. Everything was a blur. Did he think of me before he died? I wondered, did he die painfully and slow? Did he think of the life we had planned together? How we'd already named the children we would have, or how I would be Mrs. Hyuuga? I was pretty sure that my neighbors could hear me crying at this point. It was a horrible noise a mix of screaming, and sobbing, and hiccups as I tried to breathe. I tried so hard to breathe, but my oxygen, my Neji was gone.
I sniffled through my nose as I crawled to my bed. The clock told me it was 11:45 p.m. My eyes were burning from all the tears they had shed. My calves were burning from running. My heart was burning of loss. Maybe I could just burn to a crisp and float away. Finally after millions more tears shed, I fell into a fitful sleep.
I'll admit: the next couple of days were ugly. I didn't get out of the house. I hardly left the bedroom, except for using the bathroom. I'd eat some days, and the others I just didn't have the energy to go and get food. Five or six days after the funeral Hinata came by. Hinata is the sweetest, quietest girls I know, but I suppose if you go into a fit of depression you bring out the other side of her. The other side has the mouth of a sailor, and the commands and determination of a drill sergeant.
"TenTen," Hinata called from my front door, "If you don't open this damn door right now I'm going kick it down and come after your ass!" I'd never heard Hinata that way, and I wasn't going to see what would happen if I made her anymore angry then she already was, so I slowly made my way to the door.
"Well," Hinata said as I opened the door, "you look like shit," I was sure she was right, although I hadn't looked at a mirror. The next few hours consisted of her scrubbing me clean, feeding me, and pep talking the whole way through.
"We're getting through this together Ten, we are going to get over this," She kept saying, over and over, as if that would change the fact that I wasn't ever going to over 'this.' He had left me. He was dead.
"There!" Hinata said, beaming at me, "you don't look half as bad now!" She proceeded by pushing me in front of a mirror. I had dark, bloodshot eyes, red from crying. I also looked tired, and older, but other than that, I looked pretty much how I usually did.
"Mm," I said, when I noticed she was expecting an answer. Hinata huffed, apparently not pleased.
"Next I'm getting you out of this shitty place. It smells like … burnt toast," Hinata concluded. Yeah, I thought to myself sarcastically, it usually smells like burnt toast when you burn toast. Then what she said seemed to sink in.
"No! No, no, no, no, no!" I said, louder than I had expected it to come out, "I'm not ready to go out yet!" Hinata put her hands on her hips, and spun me around I was facing her. (We were doing that awkward thing where you look at each other's reflection in the mirror and talk to that)
"TenTen, Naruto and I have decided this is what is best for you, and that's final!" as if on cue Naruto burst through the door-does anyone care about my privacy? - And scooped Hinata into a big hug. They kissed all deep and heavy in front of me. I flinched. This wasn't what I needed. I'd lost Neji; I didn't want to see couples be all gushy together.
"Yeah TenTen," Naruto said after pulling away from Hinata, "getting out will be good for you," I doubt it, "you'll have a good time," Unlikely, "and I'm sure it will make everyone happier," as if! I concluded to myself. Still, I didn't really think I had a choice in the matter.
"P-please?" Hinata asked, back to her sweet, stuttering self around Naruto and the rest of the world.
"Fine," I said, not even attempting to try to hide the unwillingness to agree. Neji was dead. Neji was dead. Neji was dead. It repeated itself over and over in my head. I didn't want to get better and go to a club. I wanted to mope and be sad. I wanted to forever sit in this room. To ponder over the things that Neji and I would've done with our lives.
"Great!" Naruto exclaimed, "So, we'll be back around seven-ish, and then Hinata, Temari, Shikamaru, Ino, Kiba, Sasuke, Sakura, you and I will all go out clubbing." Naruto finished by shaking back in forth in a bad dance move.
"Lovely," I said, my words dripping with sarcasm. Neji is dead. Neji is dead. It was like one beat that was stuck on replay.
"It'll b-be fun TenTen! We'll s-see you in a b-bit," Hinata called, as the duo walked out the door. As thankful as I was that Hinata had gotten me to a somewhat normal state, there was no way in hell that I was going to have fun going out.
An extreme headache was starting to form behind my eyes, so I set off for some meds. The tile in the bathroom felt cool underneath my feet. I fought the urge to skip the medication and stick to sleeping and crying, and crying and sleeping. I grabbed the small bottle from the cabinet above the toilet. I shook a few pills out of the bottle. Then a thought came to me, take the whole thing. Go and join Neji. The thought was very appealing, but before I had time to truly digest it, the bottle of pills was thrown across the room.
I shrieked. The last time I checked a bottle of pain relievers couldn't pick itself up and throw itself across the room. And I hadn't thrown it. I looked around, and when I turned I screamed even louder.
I had heard of people being so depressed they had gone mental, better I hadn't ever thought that I'd be like that. I didn't feel mental.
"Shh, Ten, it's okay, it's okay," I felt a cool hand on my shoulder. I smacked at it and jumped to my right, away from the thing. My ninja instincts kicked in and I took a couple kunai from the pouch on my upper thigh and threw them at the figure now in front of me. The figure caught the weapons and gave me a slightly disappointed and still understanding look.
"Get the fuck out of my house!" I screamed at the thing. I felt like crying. Or fighting. The thing in front of me chuckled gently.
"You always did like to cuss, Ten," he said his voice velvety, smooth as chocolate, and deep like a bass; it was just as I remembered it.
"Neji," I whispered. The Neji-thing smiled a small smile at me. Yes, it was definitely Neji; long silky deep, dark brown hair that fell from his head like a waterfall, pale porcelain skin, and endless milky eyes. He set the kunai on the floor and walked cautiously toward me.
How? You?" I said, feeling a little faint.
"You should go sit down," he said. This wasn't normal. I was insane. I had to be, "Just don't overdose Ten, I didn't think you were like that," I followed the Neji-thing's orders; I had half forgotten how I had been going to overdose.
"Am I crazy?" I asked myself more than I asked the Neji-thing, "Neji's a hallucination," I decided. It simply couldn't be anything else. I sunk sadly into the couch.
"No, you're not crazy, and I'm not a hallucination. It's more complicated than that," his lips were mesmerizing, just like they had been when he was alive. What kind of stupid prank was someone pulling? Let's go play a nasty trick on the depressed girlfriend of that dead guy, whoopee!
"I'm not falling for your prank!" I said, tears were forming in my eyes blurring the bottom of my vision, and causing more panic to build in my chest. If I wasn't off my rocker, then someone must be forcing the beautifully painful image upon me.
"Ten," he said, walking toward me, "I'm not a prank, look," he said stroking my cheek. I let my eyes close; it was just like it always had been. I could dream myself back to us sitting in a field, him stroking my face as the sun beat down on the two of us. I started to cry again then.
"Shh, shh," he calmed me, enveloping me in his strong, sturdy arms, kissing the top of my head.
"You left me," I croaked out, "You left me, and you'd promised you wouldn't, you, you, what the hell's going on?" all I wanted to do was to let him comfort me and kiss me and tell me it was all okay. But it was too confusing, and I knew I couldn't let him do anything else without getting some answers out of him.
"I know, I know," he said comfortingly, resting his cheek on the top of my head, "and I'm so, so sorry Ten. But I'm here now. I'm here now," I narrowed my eyes at him. Getting up off the couch I squared off at him, looking into those opaque, chalky eyes.
"Explain what the hell is going on, or get out. Now," I commanded, getting some comfort by being able to have some control. He sighed and looked at me as if he was testing me; I folded my arms across my chest: I meant business.
"Fine," he said after what felt like a lifetime. The surprise was wearing off. Now I was pissed. This joke or this whatever was not funny. "After I died, I looked down at my body and had time to think. I decided that I wouldn't leave you. Not yet anyway. And well, here I am," I looked at him, what a load of royal bullshit. "Ten, I don't know how this happened. But I love you, and our love is more important than anything else to me,"
I shook my head. "I really want to believe you. I really do. But I just can't," I was crying again. Why did I always cry? "I saw your dead body lying in a casket. People aren't brought back to the world as ghosts, no matter how regal and deserving they are to be brought back,"
"You better go get that. Hinata's not as patient as she looks," Neji said smiling at me sadly. I stared at him, even more confused. Five seconds of awkwardness including me hoping, praying that what he said-even though I knew it wasn't- was true, then the door bell rang. Oh. He'd somehow known that the doorbell was going to ring. Now he was a physic ghost. Lovely.
I walked slowly to the door; looking behind me the whole time to make sure that Neji was there. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it reassuringly. I shook my head at him. This couldn't be real. This couldn't be real.
"Hey!" Hinata said. She was dressed in a strapless lilac shirt that flowed from her body in an elegant way, and dark skinny jeans, apparently she was over being modest all the time. Naruto stood next to her in jeans- no shirt. Neji scoffed in my ear, he'd never been a fan of Naruto.
"Hey," I said, but before I she could start talking again I continued on to say, "look, it's Neji," I pointed up to where he stood next to me, holding my hand. Hinata looked up at Neji with a look that you would give a child when you are telling them that Santa isn't real. Naruto leaned over and whispered in her ear, 'I told you we had to get her out of the house,'
I looked up at Neji. He gave me a sad look, and nodded. So they couldn't see him. It was only me. Fine.
"I should go," Neji whispered in my ear, "I will be back, enjoy your night out. Don't let Naruto do anything to revolting to 'Nata," then as soon as he had appeared, Neji vanished into the air.
"This is so much fun!" Ino exclaimed as she and Kiba came over to the table in the back corner of the flashy club that I sat at. I nodded thinking sarcastically: sure fun. Exactly the word I would use to describe this.
"Well it's all because of you, sexy," Kiba said seductively as he pulled into close to him.
"Oh," Ino said, her voice dropping lower, "well, you're pretty damn hot yourself," with that comment Kiba attacked Ino with his mouth. It was all tongue and moaning, and heavy breathing. Get a room. Then Kiba dipped Ino onto the table, she wrapped her legs around his waist, and they continued into their kiss while I pressed myself against the wall to stay as out of the way as possible.
They finally came up for air, Kiba setting Ino back onto her feet, and they slid into the booth in front of me as if they hadn't just practically done it on the table.
"It's so weird that Naruto, being the Hokage, is clubbing, don't you think?" Ino asked me, again ignoring the fact that she and Kiba had just had a big make out session. All I wanted was to be back at my house, and although I knew I shouldn't I wanted to have the Neji-ghost to be there too. Ino cleared her throat. Right. I was supposed to reply to that.
"Not really. Just because he's Hokage doesn't mean he's not Naruto," How can he go clubbing, when he just lost a ninja and a somewhat friend, is the real question. I thought to myself. How could any of them do it? The only reason I wasn't back at the house balling my eyes out was because I had seen him. Seen something that resembles him. I corrected myself. But somehow I didn't believe it. I didn't know what the hell was going on, but the way the ghost had acted, they way it talked, the way it looked, the things it said, the ghost was definitely Neji. It wasn't some prank.
"Oh, well," Ino said, giving me a 'well, you're boring,' look. I returned it with a 'well, you're a heartless bitch for not mourning Neji,' look.
"I think I'll turn in early, no need for any of you guys to have to leave the club, so I'll just walk myself home," I said, extra sweetly. Ino looked from Kiba, who had the 'look' in his eye again, back to me. I was pretty sure Hinata had instructed everyone to make sure I didn't leave until everyone else did, but Ino didn't seem to take the time away from Kiba to stop me.
"Well, if you're tired you should get some rest, and no one really wants to leave the party," Ino looked at Kiba again.
"Right," I said, seizing the opportunity, "I'll see you later then,"
"Right," Ino said, already ignoring me, staring into CIBA's eyes. I quickly escaped out the club door.
Brisk night air met me as I left the club. I walked quickly; I wanted to get as far away from that place as possible. I wanted to get back and see Neji. Ironically, Neji came to see me.
"I thought you were going to go out and party," His voice teased playfully. We had never been big clubbers. I looked up at him, it made me want to jump for joy, but it also made me want to cry.
"You're dead," I whispered, we fell into the same walking pace, like we always had done. "But it's really you," I was so disorientated It wasn't possible, but yet, here he was.
"Yep, I am one-hundred percent dead," He replied serious. I wanted to cry again, but I didn't. I had cried more tears in the past couple of days than most people did in a lifetime. I could let my eyes stay dry tonight. We walked in silence for a while. I had plenty of things to ask him, but it didn't seem right. Not yet, anyway. As usual he seemed to be able to read my mind.
"I'll explain as much as I can, but for now, let's just wait. All you need to know for now is that I am, well, me. A ghost me that only you can see and hear but… " He was losing me again, and I was feeling faint, he seemed to notice. "You should get some sleep. You look, well, lovely-you always look lovely- but a little less than healthy," I turned to see we were in front of my house.
We walked up the steps to my door, like we had so many times before, and he opened the door for me, only I knew had locked it. I didn't comment though, I was too tired. I didn't change, but just flopped onto my bed, every inch of my body relaxing into the tempurpedic mattress. Neji sat at the end of the bed, giving me some space. I was glad for this. I still had no idea what to make of it. Of him. A ghost. I could tell he was watching me as I closed my eyes, and fell asleep.
So hope you enjoyed my first attempt at Neji/TenTen. I will update soon! Check out TheAwkwardBystander's stories too!
