"If you are fortunate enough to book this property, you will be extremely satisfied. The photos do not do justice to this exquisite, comfortable, beautifully appointed country estate. The host is friendly, accessible, and responsive. I hope to come back with my family again. This is the kind of home that restores faith in hospitality—you get more than expected, from a festive wreath on the front door and fruit in the kitchen to a warm welcome message, very comfortable bedding, and everything you need right there." Angela, 2025
"This is simply a home from home. We were looking for a house that could give us privacy while still being close enough to local amenities and NYC, and this delivered both. The spacious interior was superb, and the morning sunrise views over the woods made it one of the best trips we’ve had. Alice was a brilliant host—responsive and helpful. 100% recommend, and we will be back." Dan, 2025

"My 7 year old son summed it up best on the last day of our visit: 'Please don't make me leave this comfy cozy house!! Could you ask the owner if we can come back? I really like it here.' He couldn't have said it better. I could have stayed too. Such a warm sense of home. We had the best time. The hosts couldn't have been lovelier or more gracious. The house, gardens and property are perfection. The pool is spectacular and my kids and I enjoyed it and our time at this beautiful home more than I can describe. Thank you Alice and Anne. So looking forward to seeing you and visiting again soon." - Narciso Rodriguez, 2024

"Photos don't do this property justice. We went in the summer and relaxing by the large pool, with the views of the garden, was amazing. The best part was absolutely no noise pollution. Can't hear any traffic—just the wind in the trees and birds singing. I commuted to the city for work on weekdays, train and car, and it was very quick and easy. Good restaurants and exercise options all within driving distance. Will go back!" - Warren, 2022

"If you've always considered yourself a 19th century aristocrat who's living in the 21st century by mistake, please book Alice's charming country estate at once and don't spare the horses! A mightily impressive driveway leads you down to a secluded and gorgeous main house surrounded by lush greenery and tall mature trees. The interior was tastefully appointed, huge, and absolutely sparkling. Alice is a tip-top communicator and she was able to book me in at the absolute last moment. There is a property manager on-site as well, and she is helpful and unobtrusive. This house would be terrific in the warmer months for a luscious indoor-outdoor cocktail party and I certainly plan on returning." - John, 2018

Our stay at Alice's house was a special experience and an excellent value. Highly recommended." - Anthony, 2018
