The place is set in the perfect location for a peaceful getaway. The yard and garden are beautifully manicured and it was super sweet to have access to fun stuff like the paddle boat which we enjoyed one evening on the reservoir. The bonfire was perfect for a romantic birthday celebration in the evening and we were so grateful to have our senior cat with us. She definitely enjoyed the change of scenery as well!
Our hosts were great communicators. They made us feel welcomed and we got to meet Caroline, their adorable dog, and their sharp and witty grandkids!
Other guests stayed in the main house above us. A lovely family. The walls are a little thin if their are little ones running about, but timing worked out well and we had no trouble sleeping through the night.
The AC is strong and controlled upstairs. It got a bit chilly, but during our stay they got vent caps delivered and that helped. Make sure to have cozy sweater/sweats just in case. I overlooked that it wasn't a full kitchen, but they had a wine fridge that got the job done and we had a cooler that we used for other items. We managed to fix meals on the grill and with the electric induction cooktop and hot plates. It was fun to cook right outside our door with that great view. "Outdoor kitchen" and meals added to the experience.
Supermarket was a quick drive away and neighboring towns offer cool sites within a 30 minute drive.
We were so thankful we decided to get out of NYC to visit the area for the first time. It made a wonderful escape!
