Lovely Place for a Family Mini-Reunion
Great place to hang out with friends or family. The host made thoughtful renovation and design decisions, including indoor and outdoor dining spaces so you can choose the screened porch or the dining room indoors depending on the weather. The beds and the linens are comfortable.
She opened the family room to the kitchen so that space is great for spending time together. It's fun to see the before and after images of the renovation that are framed in the hallways. The weather was chilly and rainy so we spent a lot of time just hanging out together and enjoying the fireplace (and firewood).
We cooked in and found the pots/pans/utensils and dishes to be just what we needed. There is one drawer with spices, but we brought the ones we expected to use with us (just in case). The host even had powerful flashlight/lanterns, which came in handy when there was a short power outage in the region (2 hours). (There are toys there as well for younger children).
Landscape lights outside are on a timer and add a twinkle to the darkness and there's a lovely flower patch out front.
We visited the Opus 40 down the street -- walkable, but we chose to drive because our time was limited. It was well worth the visit and so close. If you go to Kaaterskill Falls, check out the parking options before you go -- we ended up only being able to drive by b/c all of the parking areas were jammed.
We would stay here again next time we are in the area.
