Thoughtfully and comfortably furnished, very clean, everything we needed at our fingertips, gorgeous river views, eagles on show daily (bring your binocs), vibrant bird songs all day, gentle deer, fish visible in crystal clear river water, easy walk to Callicoon with plenty of allergy-sensitive restaurant choices that we never even cooked a meal for ourselves. We are fit and healthy seniors nearing 70yo and didn’t find the stairs to be a problem at all. Watching the sunrise over the mountain each morning from the sun porch, the living room, or the East bedroom was a delight. It was quite cold (30s-50s most days) yet we were snug inside with plenty of space heaters provided. Minor intermittent traffic on the road between the cottage and the river didn’t intrude on our peace. We have high standards and our 5 nights far exceeded our expectations - we are eager to return. One thought to consider: the bedrooms are very tight for space (yet comfortable) and if you’re a bed reader, bring book lights. Thank you so much Pat and Ray!
