My wife and I stayed at the Stone Arches Guest House for a two night stay at the tail end of the winter. The grounds were beautiful and the house is incredibly comfortable. The owner was nice enough to show us around and give us a brief intro to the wood burning stove and the functions of the house. We spent out time hiking with our dog through the hunting preserve next to the property, which was great because the deer were still on the move but the hunting season had ended so we did not have to worry about bothering anyone. The inside of the home was comfortable and had most of the essentials for cooking and relaxing. When the weekend was over we did not want to return to Queens. I highly recommend this place to a couple looking to get out of the city for a bit.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My girfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend, arriving Saturday night and leaving Monday. It was a delightful stay. The cabin feels totally private and secluded and you barely notice the larger house on the estate. It was clean and cute and quaint and everything we wanted. The wood stove was amazingly cozy and the piano was a wonderful touch. The owner sent clear instructions and everything was easy. The only two negatives were the large number of ladybugs in the bedroom (though they stayed on the lamp never went on the bed or bothered us) and the fact that the kitchen is not very well stocked-- there were plates and basic cutlery, a toaster, a stove and a pot, and some condiments but not all (no pepper and barely any salt), but no paper towels, no frying pan, etc. so bring what you need. That said, the owner did nicely lend us his frying pan. Overall, great stay and we'd love to return.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

We stayed in this lovely cottage for 3 nights and I didn't want to leave. It was perfect for a few nights of relaxing, cooking, reading and walking. It took us about 2 hours to drive from NYC. Its a great size for 2 people, and I think it would be great any time of year. We were there in winter and there was so much snow at that time, the wood stove kept the place really warm. We enjoyed going for walks in the nearby woodlands and just relaxing by the fire. I can imagine it being great in summer too, as theres a balcony you can sit out on, and would be great to have breakfast, lunch or dinner out there. I would recommend this place to everyone, it really is beautiful and perfect, I'm looking forward to going back there again sometime.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

My wife & I could not have been happier with our stay at this guest house. Quite a quick trip from NYC and you feel almost like you're in the middle of nowhere. Quiet, serene, beautifully maintained grounds and best of all, no wifi or mobile phone service. Working with the owner was a breeze. We had a fantastic, relaxing time and hope to visit there again soon. Highly recommended! Thanks!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.
