Mountain Top Escape to Convene with Friends & Family w/ Hot Tub & Many Decks

A lovely and welcoming environment. The wrap around deck is well laid out, with comfortable seating, shade when you need it, a big outdoor dining table and grill. We spent considerable time in all of those areas. The view from the house of the flower gardens, distant hills and seemingly endless lawn and tall trees is like a painting from the Hudson River School of artists. The inside is filled with comfortable seating and plenty of it. The beds, bedding and towels are all high quality. The kitchen is really well equipped and no matter what we wanted to cook, we could! A (really)short stroll brings you to the old stone church, which is itself beautiful but also has an astounding view across the valley north into the hills and mountains. Very grateful to have benefited from the home these welcoming hosts have shared.

We loved staying at Diane’s property. It was a wonderful location, great accommodations for us and the other family we were traveling with. We enjoyed taking the short walk down the road to the stone church and taking in the beautiful views. And we had perfect weather to enjoy the many decks! We also appreciated the nice touches like labeling where things were, and having two coffee makers! Diane was super responsive when we had questions, but we didn’t have many because she provided great information up front. We would love to stay here again!

Beautiful, comfortable place with a well stocked kitchen and lots of charm! It was absolutely frigid all weekend - so we got to spend all day inside in front of the fire (except for the time we spent in the hot tub!). I'll definitely be escaping here again soon!

My partner and I stayed at this property with 5 other of our closest friends over the long MLK Weekend. We’ve been doing this annually trip for many years now and this home was one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed! Communication/check-in was thorough and easy thanks to Diane. The house has a perfect blend of lived-in character with thoughtful and well-maintained amenities for guests. We spent most of our time reading and listening to records, hanging out in the living room by the wood-burning fireplace, enjoying a snowy, magical dip in the hot tub, and cooking elaborate meals in the kitchen, which had pretty much all basic supplies we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the staircase with beautiful banister made it feel like we were all home for the holidays together. Gorgeous snowfall and some sweet canoodling foxes running through the woods really set the backdrop for a trip we won’t forget.We can’t wait to come back, maybe in the summer when we can enjoy the property and nearby hiking options!

Just about everything you could ever need was provided! Comfy beds! My only suggestion is that during the winter months they get the house warmed up prior to arrival. It was in the mid-50s when we arrived and we shivered in our winter coats for hours before it finally warmed up. After that, it was fine, though. Beautiful grounds and very comfortable!
