Book it!
We are a group of 8 college friends (for 40+ years) who stayed at this lovely home for our annual get-together. It was absolutely wonderful! It was super clean, beautifully decorated, very spacious with numerous rooms to sit and chat, comfy beds, 4 full bathrooms, thermostats in every room, etc. The large kitchen (always a focal point for our group) was extremely well stocked. We wanted for nothing. There is a fire pit out back which we thoroughly enjoyed. The location is near a number of parks (hiking trails) and some cute small towns. The owner is super nice and extremely communicative. I would certainly book again. If you stay here, you will not be disappointed.

About the host

Host profile image
We are a large family who love getting together as much a possible. We enjoy the outdoors, travel, cooking, working and relaxing. We spent many years restoring this home, adding a huge addition. We are continually landscaping and keeping this home in pristine condition.

Why they chose this property


A full restoration was completed in 2014, adding the amenities and additional 3200 square feet of master suite & bath, kitchen, media room, other bathrooms, etc. We installed patios and outside eating areas for family gatherings. As far as location...it's great, town is only minutes away, and offers everything one needs. Still close to NYC. 18 miles from the Ocean, 9 miles to I84 & I95, 12 minutes to Merritt PKY. oh, another thing, aside from being a horse area, with a riding stable two doors away, we have "The Big Sky" for star gazing, wonderful all year.
When it comes to winter, we are a wonderland. Sit by the fire, inside or outside. Truly a special place to be.

What makes this property unique

This home is large with 14 rooms that home allows families to gather in many areas, (2) living rooms, (6) bedrooms, plus (1) additional bedroom upon request(guest house), (1) large dinning room, (4) full bathrooms, (2) patios out side one with a gas lit fire pit, and one wood burning foirepit with seating, grill, teak table that seats 12, corn hole, & basket ball area, level 3.5 acre perfectly landscaped lawn to play, gardens, fruit trees, blue stone patios... The lower media recreation room with has a private bath and glass sliders to a private patio, Ping Pong, Sleeps 12. Beautiful property, Elegant, romantic, luxurious estate with every amenity.
