We are NYC residents, as well as 2 other couples who are close friends, all living and working in NYC area. The Hudson Valley has been a welcome escape over the past year, both as a base for remote work, and for restorative time off, hiking in nature., et. We chose this house based on the description, reviews, and breathtaking photos, and the experience exceeded our expectations—we had a fabulous stay! We loved the house, for its bold, yet contextually appropriate architectural detail, the creative design elements, spectacular views etc, and would definitely hope to return some time in the fall. Instructions for the house are extensive, and, at times more complex than expected, but well worth the effort, as everything worked seamlessly. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Would highly recommend!
