Garrison House in Nature Preserve w/hot tub, minutes to West Point

The windows and fireplace made this a lovely stay for snuggling up on the couch and the trails made for amazing, easy hiking.

We were 3 couples in the area for the weekend to celebrate my husband and his buddies 25th class reunion at West Point (we didn't want to stay an hour away in NJ where the class had hotel rooms reserved). It was a quaint, cozy home and just what we needed. There were 3 bedrooms all with queen beds; no deciding which couple had to take the twin beds..which happens a lot with other vacay rentals! The views were lovely and the fall weather was perfect. There was also a neat little path that leads to a pond. We used this backdrop to take some gorgeous photos.

We loved the place and highly recommend to anyone looking for a rustic country house close to NYC.

Kay was a wonderful host. My son described it best when he said he wished all of the homes in our area had as much character as this old world charmer. It truly was like visiting a wealthy uncles country home. I wish we had booked a tour of the nearby Manitoga home right next door. It has wonderful access to the rail system which in just over an hour will get you to New York with an amazing scenic view of the river for most of the time. We also enjoyed it's close access to the United States military Academy where we visited my son. We also happen to hit this house right during prime season colors in October – we will carry forward many wonderful memories for years to come.

What a great way to spend the weekend. Close to West Point, it was easy to come and go to the various events we attended. We enjoyed coffee in the morning sitting in the sun room, hiking on the trails and of course a dip in the hot tub at night. Country charm it was comfortable for our family of 5. Close to activities in Cold Springs as well as Garrison.
