Guest notes

We came for two nights and extended to four. Sauna, creek, fire pit, repeat

Hannah and Theo, Brooklyn

The kids forgot their phones existed because a deer walked past the window at breakfast

Maya, Philadelphia

Sauna, then the snow, then the stove. We didn't leave the property for three days

Priya and Sam, Jersey City

Quietest place we've stayed in years. The record collection is better than ours

Daniel, Boston

The breakfast box on the deck at nine was the best part of the trip. The sourdough alone is worth the drive

Elena, Hoboken

Peak foliage week, fog in the hollow every morning. It looks exactly like the photos

Claire and Ben, Montclair

Two and a half hours from our door in Queens and it felt like a different country

Marcus, Queens
