Zachary, Thank you for the lovely review -and your patience. I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at our family's home away from home. It is a loved home we like to share with others. If the opportunity presents itself, we look forward to hosting you again. i

Dear Melissa, thank you for your lovely review. Erik and I enjoyed having you and your family stay at our home to celebrate your daughter's graduation. I am glad our home served as a tranquil home-base for family time, especially that enjoyed the multiple board games available. Thank you for the generous food gifts. We enjoyed the collard greens, peppers, and the fish. If a future visit brings you to the Hudson Valley, please think of us. We would love to host you and your family again. Until next time, Ileana and Erik.

Dear Marcie, thank you for your stay. I am happy it was such an enjoyable stay for you and your family - especially your grandson. I am glad the baby gate came in handy. Warmly, ileana

Ms. Herman, thank you for your lovely review. I am glad our home was a suitable place for your cousins' reunion.Our goal is for our home to be comfortable enough for guests to create their own loving memories with family and friends. Mission accomplished! We look forward to hosting you again in 2019. In the meantime, we will take into consideration your excellent suggestion of more hooks in the basement/laundry room area. Warmly, Ileana & Erik

Dear Erika, Thank you for your lovely review. Celebrating your birthday during the Holiday season is very special. I am glad our home, the Christmas tree, and the fireplace made it an enjoyable and memorable stay for you and your husband. We look forward to having you as guests again. The house is really special in the summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day -- you can enjoy the pool , the deck, and prepare your meals on the grill. The garden is also at full bloom. Until next time... Ileana (and Erik)

Dear Mr. Remigio, Thank you for the lovely review. I am glad our home was your "home away from home". We appreciate the artful "obrigado" (thank you) you and your family left drawn on the chalkboard. It was our pleasure to serve you and your family and thrilled the home amenities (fireplace, equipped kitchen, etc.) made your stay more comfortable. If a family vacation brings you back to the Hudson Valley, please think of us. Ileana (and Erik)

Dear Mark, Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to have you and your family. If in the future family events bring to you to the area again, I hope you will consider our home. Sincerely, Ileana (and Erik)

Dear Shandra, Thank you for lovely review and recommending our home to future guests. The Secret Garden was one of my favorite books to read to my class when I was a classroom teacher. I am enormously flattered your niece liked the garden. I am glad you enjoyed our home and your stay. We look forward to your or friends return.

Silvia, Thank you for your very thoughtful and detailed review. I am glad you and your girlfriends enjoyed a weekend away from NYC to celebrate your birthday. It was treat to host you and your guests. I am thrilled the beds were warm and comfy. The hike to Dover Stone Church is fun and 5minutes away from the house, It is an easy hike --even for amateurs. I look forward to your return this summer. Ileana

Dear Missy, Thank you for your lovely review. I am thrilled the house served as your home-base for your explorations in the Hudson Valley --there is much to see/visit in the area, especially wineries: Millbrook Vineyards & Winery, Millbrook, NY (10 miles from the house) and Cascade Mountain Winery, Amenia, NY (20-25 minutes away). I have toured and visited Millbrook's and it is lovely --especially late spring - summer. I look forward to your return. Warmly, Ileana

Nicci, thank you for your wonderful review! For the first time on October 1, Erik, my friend, Mary, and I took one of the three hikes (1.5 miles round-trip) in Stone Church; it was indeed breathtaking! I have not been to Beacon, NY to the art museum, so you and your family did more sightseeing on your week away than I have done on my regular getaway weekends from NYC. ; ) I recently dined at Seravan in Amenia, NY (farm-to-table concept) --delicious! Thank you for returning for Presidents' Weekend and your upcoming return in August 2017.

Dear Frank, Thank you to you, your family, and grandchildren for the very nice notes in the guest book and on the chalkboard. The children threaded a new collar for the stuffed doggie in one of the bedrooms; it was really cute and thoughtful. He now has an appropriate collar. I am glad the games: Bingo and others were put to good use. We are happy our home was the perfect venue for your family vacation. We look forward to your future return. Sincerely, Ileana (and Erik)

Francesca, Thank you for the beautiful review. In June, July, & August the garden is continuously blooming. The weekend of your stay --the garden was at its peak. I am glad our home, accommodations, and amenities allowed for a restful stay. Erik, our families, and I use the house often and we do a lot of cooking so our kitchen is well-stocked , including a number of kitchen gadgets, which I love. The rooms have all new bed linen and extra blankets in the closets (on the beds during winter months). The goal is for our guests to sleep well and soundly. Erik and I look forward to your and Stacy's future stay --away from the hustle and bustle of NYC.. Sincerely, Ileana (& Erik)

Stacy, Thank you for the review. The not-heated pool is indeed refreshing on a hot, summer day! --and your stay was on one of those weekend days. We look forward to your return. Sincerely, Ileana (and Erik)

Dear Bertrand & the Frenchie Team, Thank you for your lovely and upbeat review. We, too, enjoyed having you as guests and we are thrilled our home met all of your expectations -and then some. We look forward to welcoming you and your friends in the fall. In the meantime, enjoy your summer! Ileana (and Erik)

Thank you for the review. We aim for the house to be as pleasing to the eye and comfortable for the soul. I am glad that you found our home to be peaceful -an excellent start to 2016. We hope to welcome you again soon. Ileana (and Erik)

Thank you for your lovely review - and the compliments to our decor. I am glad your boys got to play outside and enjoyed the backyard. Yes, there are two ski resorts nearby, Thunder Ridge in Patterson, NY and Mohawk Mountain in Cornwall, CT. We look forward to welcoming you and your family again. Ileana (and Erik)
