From the moment we got there until the moment we left, people in our party couldn't stop expressing how much we loved the place. Everything was so clean, classy and plentiful. When we turned off the road to get near the house, the views were incredible! Right away there's an old mill house museum and waterfall, followed by rolling hills. It was a foggy day so you could see the fog hugging the mountain. When you get to the house, you can smell the fresh air and walk a few minutes down to an adorable little waterfall (for some reason this area has a lot of waterfalls), or up the hill to a beautiful view of an apple/pear orchard. We couldn't decide whether we preferred walking around or staying inside, both options were so great! There are TWO private decks and an adorable, well-maintained garden right in front of one of them. Joyce is a sweet, very accommodating host, everything was well-stocked and organized. We would definitely come back. The area had something for everyone. We drove a few minutes to a bridge you can walk across over the Hudson, and then to a kosher winery, and then to the Vanderbilt mansion. Bottom line, gorgeous area, gorgeous property, awesome hosts!
P.S. - my mother also wanted to write her own five-star review for this place but as far as I know you can only write one review per stay. Maybe next time :)
