A delightful gem of a getaway. The home was immaculate and the host could not have been nicer. Checking in was seamless, and the little touches (flowers, linens, etc.) were thoughtful. I’d highly recommend it.

Charming and cozy, with a breathtaking view

This cottage is perfect! Clean and comfortable, with every amenity covered, with such lovely touches as fresh flowers and farm-fresh eggs! The highlight was the view from the overlook -- breathtaking in the late spring and probably every season! Maureen is a perfect host -- precise directions and instructions, and a level of thoughtfulness that goes above and beyond. I look forward to staying there again!

Charming cabin with comfortable beds, interesting artwork and beautiful flowers and plants. It was a great central location for day trips to Hyde Park, Catskills mountains, and Lenox MA. Enjoyed watching the deer and the great view from the bench perch.

Cozy cottage

The cottage was everything we could have hoped for. It was cozy, but still had plenty of space for four adults. The property and surrounding views of the hills were beautiful. Such unique furniture and decor. We couldn't be happier with our stay.
