July 22
At first glance, the house was wonderful. It has a great pool, and it has a great deck off of the kitchen that is covered and has plenty of seating. The coffee pot had a science project in the filter, the sink had two grungy stoppers, the sponge for cleaning dishes was used, and the worst part was that the downstairs gamerooms area was soaking wet when we arrived. This had obviously been a problem for a while as there was an awful stench from sitting water (in and under the rug) which rendered the downstairs gamerooms unusable. The second to last evening there was very heavy rain which created a leak through a kitchen light. The response was that the upstairs deck was allowing water inside the house because that was the unprotected side of the house. We were told the water in the gameroom area was from condensation from the A/C. Then get it fixed.

Family reunion
Family reunion weekend - we had a super time! The property was lovely and our kids enjoyed the pool and play areas. The hot tub and covered porch were very nice for the adults. Conveniently located between Boston and NYC worked well for us. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this property and Stephen couldn't have been a better host. We were always able to reach him and he was helpful each time. If you're looking for an escape to nature, I highly recommend this property.

My wife and I and 3 college-age children live in Washington, the perfect country destination within 2 hours of NYC. We moved here from NYC in 2003 to raise our children after years of weekending. I developed and managed boutique design hotels in NYC and CT and remain the managing partner of several. Upon moving to Washington I purchased and renovated many luxury vacation homes and currently rent them short and long term.
