About this property

Peaceful Light-Filled Guesthouse 1 Hour From NYC

Step into a peaceful, well-appointed home nestled on 14 acres of ancient trees, stone walls, and meadows in Pound Ridge, NY. This light-filled guesthouse is designed for relaxation, with a heated saltwater pool available in summer, sunbathing under a majestic maple tree, and evening stargazing by the outdoor fire pit. Perfect for families, small groups, or couples seeking a peaceful nature retreat.

Located in Westchester County, our renovated guesthouse is part of a historic 200-year-old dairy farm, cherished by the same family for over 11 generations.

Inspired by travel and the concept of slow living, our guesthouse provides a tranquil escape—a place to pause, enjoy simple moments, and immerse yourself in nature's wonders. Whether relaxing by the pool on hot summer days, enjoying the vibrant colors of autumn by the fire pit, or sledding on snowy hills in winter, each season offers its unique charm.

We feel privileged to care for this natural beauty and are grateful to share it with our guests. We hope you find it as special as we do.

Thumbs up
Great host, more luxurious home than we were expecting, reminded us actually of a Cretan beach villa from a family trip years ago. Multiple areas to relax and hang out, generous space for 5. Very satisfied, happy to return.

This little house was so cute and comfortable. The best part was we were literally two doors down from my aunt who was hosting our whole family for Thanksgiving. The house was spotless, the amenities provided were very high end and the communication with the owners was flawless. I will be letting everyone in my family know this is the place to stay when they are visiting.

Absolutely Beautiful Rental
This is the best vrbo rental. Let me list the ways : the location was great for our purposes, the grounds were lovely, no street noise, it was well-stocked, it was clean, there was plenty of room for us, the beds and bedding and pillows were comfortable, the heating system was new and quiet, and on top of all that -- it was so beautifully designed and decorated. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer and skip the next leg of our trip! Would absolutely stay here again, and hopefully we'll be able to the next time we go to Pound Ridge to visit friends.
