I have lived in this area my entire life. My family roots are in a nearby working-class community shaped by Irish, Scottish and Polish immigrants in the early 1900s, and Montclair has long been part of the area I call home.

Today, I live here with my two rescue dogs and truly enjoy everything this community has to offer.

I love learning, traveling, going to the beach, music, dancing, gardening, swimming, cooking, meeting new people and helping others.

What I enjoy most about hosting is the people. Over the years, I have welcomed guests from around the world who are here for all kinds of reasons—to celebrate happy occasions, visit family and friends, work, relocate, or simply enjoy the area. I believe people bring their own energy and stories into a home, and I feel genuinely grateful when guests choose to stay here.

My goal is to offer more than just a place to sleep. I want guests to feel comfortable, welcomed and cared for, while also having the privacy and independence to enjoy their stay in their own way.

I was originally drawn to Montclair because of its long-standing commitment to diversity and its sense of community. When I bought this home in 1997, I wanted to raise my then elementary-school-age son in a place that embraced difference and offered a rich, connected environment.

I also love Montclair's location. It offers easy access to New York City, Newark Airport, the Jersey Shore, and even the mountains, farms and small towns that make New Jersey so varied.

Over the years, it has been exciting to watch Montclair grow into such a vibrant and highly desirable community. The town offers an abundance of restaurants, cafés, cultural events, live entertainment, shopping, and the Montclair Art Museum, along with several lively business districts.

One of the things I appreciate most about my home is how walkable the location is. Guests can reach many restaurants, shops, grocery stores, entertainment options and public transportation on foot, which makes staying here especially convenient.

For me, Montclair offers a rare combination: the energy and amenities of a lively town, the charm of an established residential community, and convenient access to New York City and so much more.

What makes Chez Sherry unique is that it offers the warmth and character of a real historic home with the flexibility and privacy of separate guest apartments.

The property is a beautifully maintained Victorian home with original architectural details, individual character, and thoughtfully furnished spaces rather than a standardized hotel feel. Guests can reserve the second- or third-floor apartment separately as a one- or two-bedroom stay, or larger groups can reserve both apartments together.

The location is another major advantage. Guests can walk to restaurants, cafés, shopping, cultural attractions, groceries, and public transportation, while still enjoying the feel of an established residential neighborhood.

The property also has a distinctive landscaped garden rather than a traditional front lawn. It has become part of the personality of the home and is something many guests and neighbors especially enjoy.

Perhaps most importantly, this is not an absentee-run rental. I live on the property, have been hosting for more than a decade, and take great pride in preparing each apartment with the same care I would want when traveling myself. Guests have privacy and independence, but help is nearby when they need it.

Chez Sherry is best suited for guests who appreciate a home with history, personality, comfort, convenience, and a more personal style of hospitality.
