Fantastic, beautiful, country stay--so close to Manhattan!
Just seeing that I never left a review for the Weston River House! This little place was absolutely beautiful. Warm, inviting, the sound of the bubbling river was absolutely delightful! The fireplace was the bomb. Can't say enough about how lovely the location is. Owner was very responsive and helpful as was his "helpers". Would love to stay there again.

Quiet cottage getaway
This was a perfect secluded getaway! The house was immaculately clean and comfortable. The premises were well groomed and the flowing river added another dimension to its quaintness. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back!
