Our ten-day stay was everything we hoped for -- and more. Our small house was tastefully appointed and in perfect condition. We were surrounded by woods and enjoyed a charming view of a pond out the main windows. Interesting and peaceful walks along quiet roads were easily accessible. The owners of the property, who lived next door, were always available and responded quickly to any questions we had. We cannot recommend this property highly enough.
I loved staying at Johnâs place. It is exactly as advertised and better! I felt safe and relaxed there. Thereâs plenty of wildlife outside the window and very close to major roads for an easy commute. I will definitely stay here again.
We stayed at John's guest house in early October, just as the leaves were changing. It was gorgeous. John provided five-star service akin to what you'd expect at a nice hotel. The space was clean and well-appointed, and the kitchen had everything we needed for plenty of cooking. There are lots of nice hikes/walks nearby--as well as several good restaurants within 30 minutes--that we enjoyed, all of which were suggested by John, who was happy to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend!
A beautifully located modern house, overlooking a large pond from both rooms. The owners are really friendly, and were very helpful whenever I had questions.
My partner and I loved staying in this guesthouse - it's perfect for two people and you feel immersed in the surrounding nature thanks to plenty of windows everywhere, all with impeccable screens. The cabin has all modern amenities, and the best compact-sized oven I've seen in a while. John is also a very good host, always communicative and helpful, and insisted we enjoyed the herb garden and fresh peonies that were in season. For stuff to do, I recommend pick-your-own at Fishkill farms (who also sell plenty of farm produce and excellent pies), hike the Appalachian trail, shop a one of the many farmer's markets, and also if you need a good organic grocery store, there is a Whole Foods barely 20mn away in Danbury.
We were looking for a quiet spot with a calming view, and this secluded guest house with a large pond surrounded by trees and frequented by wildlife more than fit the bill. And it didnât hurt that Johnâs a great host who built an amazing, warm guest house.
