Our group of four poets and novelists was looking for a week-long retreat site. This proved to be a magical, inspirational location. Big enough for us each to find our own silent work spot (usually our rooms, but also outside); intimate enough for fun dinners in the kitchen and craft conversations in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of equipment and staples (best I've seen in a rental). The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious, comfy, and full of great linens. Two porches offer many comfortable chairs and sofas, with amazing views of the yard and river. Overall, this is a home that has been so thoughtfully planned and curated for comfort, functionality, and relaxation.The neighborhood is quiet, filled with historic homes and not much activity, but that's why we picked it. "Dreamy" was a word we used again and again. It felt like we'd gone back to Mark Twain's time, but with modern amenities. The Hudson, a working river at close range, contributed to this feeling.Our host, Jennifer, was so kind and easy to reach with questions. We would definitely return!
