The host, Danforth, was a true Prince of Hospitality and anything short of 5 stars would undermine both the charming quarters and his generous and warm reception of guests. Mr. Prince was communicative, pleasant, and attentive throughout the stay and stocked the rooms with more than we could expect. Coffee, breakfast & pie; The house itself has an eclectic history and Mr. Prince gave us the grand tour upon arrival. The porch offered the cozy combination of a gorgeous country getaway with the enticing view of a distant NYC skyline. We suggest having your morning coffee on the outdoor sofa. If you are a sophisticated soul who appreciates the nooks and crannies of art, history, and nature hidden in the gem that is New York, you will feel completely at home at the Magnolia House.
