Excellent stay in Hudson Valley
My only complaint about this house is that the pictures don't do it justice. The inside has a lot of small spaces for groups to spend time together. The public spaces were nice and comfortable. The back patio with firepit was great for group time. Overall the house was clean and comfortable. The house is old, which means that it can be creaky/have narrow stairs, but has been well tended and clearly upgraded where it was needed (A/C, bathrooms). Additionally the house manager was extremely helpful and communicative not only before the stay but also while were there and encountered a small issue. I would recommend this house for any group in this size range.
