Although we weren't traveling from very far away (NEPA), I had my hopes up for a major change of scenery for the weekend. As we were driving through the neighborhood to get to the Carriage House, I was a little disappointed, thinking, "Well, this looks just like home." Upon arrival at the house though, you are whisked away. The stunning property sits at the end of a dead-end road and is nestled among well maintained yards and beautiful old trees.
We were greeted by Angelo, who was keen to our arrival time. He is welcoming, energetic, and interesting to talk to. We stayed in the loft apartment, which is on the second floor of the Carriage House. It is bright, airy, and artfully and comfortably appointed. Full kitchen, nice dining table, big leather couch, space to spread out!
We were particularly drawn to the privacy of this rental. You are removed from the main house, and are the only guests on the property. This scenario is fairly one-of-a-kind, in my considerable experience. The only drawback for me was that the bed was hard. Rest was not particularly restful. However, we are accustomed to a soft king bed.
If you're planning a weekend away with someone, they will be impressed by your "find" of this property. We look forward to using it as our home base next time we go exploring the Hudson Valley. Thank you, Angelo!
