Créez vos souvenirs! Confort, chaleur, tranquillité dans La Vallée de l'Hudson

I'm a traveller, a mom (4 grown kids and a passel of grandkids), a retired ER doc who worked in Yosemite Park for 7 years (best gig ever!), a gardener, an animal lover, and a foodie. I love my kids, my dog, my cat even though he is so bad I had to change his name from Mikey to Darth Mikey, my flower gardens, and bluebirds. I speak fluent French and Spanish and do a lot of. traveling myself, so I know how to make other people comfortable in my space. .

I fell in love with this place the moment I got out of my car to wait for the realtor who pitched it to me. Why? Even though it was November, I saw the massive lilac bushes all over the property. Whoever lived here loved lilacs. Inside, it was tranquil with good bones, great craftsmanship in the remodel, and just waiting for families and friends to fill it with joy. I'm very picky about accommodations-- and I always thought I could do a good job making it a perfect BNB. Ha ha, it turns out I was right! I don't have a lot of reviews on VRBO, but the other short term rental site has more than 220 five-star reviews! and not a single one less than that. I'm proud of what Lilac House has become- a delight for groups of friends, families, people who love each other and want a space to know it and show it.

Birdsong, snowflakes, fireflies, cardinals, the Milky Way, spring peepers... and the whole Hudson River valley around you. Lilac House is a private , serene country home-- convenient to the Valley's sweetest and funkiest villages, but still feels like a nature sanctuary-- we have bluebirds and cardinals, fawns and wild turkeys, the occasional snake and bear (!-- although they stay away from people). I am a gardener (I even wrote a garden book "Garden in the Sky" on Amazon) and I care for the cutting garden providing fresh flowers, berries and herbs for guests, as well as native pollinator gardens and a "prairie" space that harbors wildlife. The house is made to be comfortable-- the sofas are soft, the kitchen is tricked out to cook pretty much anything you want to cook, and there's lots of space to gather with friends and family members and catch up. Even rainy days ore OK, with the fireplace and lots of jigsaw puzzles to keep you busy. You oughtta come and check it out.
