Wonderful Hudson Valley Getaway

My partner and I spent 5 wonderfully relaxing days exploring the small towns in the area, grilling out and enjoying being surrounded by so much natural beauty. The home is very clean and well equipped to make any stay comfortable. We are very much looking forward to planning our next visit.

Time to Unwind

Absolutely beautiful location. Lots of hiking nearby. Countless places, towns, attractions, etc. to check out. The house was better than the pictures suggest. We are already making plans to return in the Spring / Summer.
