Our stay at this lovely home was perfect. Larry was so welcoming and full of good information on the area. The little touches such as the table setting and coffee bar were so charming and cozy. We took a short hike on the property and had beautiful views of the valley. There was plenty of wood for the fire pit and we enjoyed a nice fire at night. We would 100 percent stay at this peaceful and private property again.

Thank you so much for the kind words. So glad you and your family had a good weekend.
We enjoyed our stay so much. Larry was a super host. He always answered our calls or texts. I enjoyed our conversations about the families home we were staying in. If you want peace and quiet, enjoy nature and the attractions it provides, you will love this place. If you want modern, fancy living, this is not the place for you. Old farmhouse living and nostalgic surroundings is the scene here. Everything you need for your stay is available in the house. Relax on the front porch and watch the wildlife pass by. We came for our annual family and friends visit but the activities and dining selections are plenty. You will love your stay in this home and with no regrets at all. We hope it's available for years to come. Until next year. Mark and June S

Why they chose this property
We recently purchased this property because of peacefulness and view and the fresh mountain air. From the side porch we love to drink a fresh cup of coffee and eat a grilled donut. We also enjoy a fresh slice of homemade pie with our meals from Henry's Drive-in ( A local Diner in Afton NY just a short 15 minute scenic drive.) Another favorite pass time is watching the wildlife. Some of the many animals in the area are: lots of deer, turkey, fox, bear and all kinds of birds including our local rodent and pest control the owls.
What makes this property unique
Veiws, peace and quite, no traffic , and the abillity to unplug and refresh your mind body and sprit.
