A bit of history first. You can feel the history, you know many have come before you. This home was built orignally as an Inn in 1780, just two years before the Declaration of Independence was signed. During that time George Washinton was a General in the Continental Army, the American Revolutionary War. We have been told this was the only road at the time heading north, George Washington and his Army road past this home several times. The Land, The properity gives you a true feeling of open space, from the sun rising over the East mountain, to the mid-day sun dancing across the historic Clove Creek. The birds flying threw the East meadow over looking the mountains, a view to enjoy all day. This is a place to unwind, lesson to nature and enjoy. We have set aside space for you to sit outside alone or the room to have family & friends around a table or by a roaring fire. This place is about taking a moment, hear the birds, letting your mind enjoy the sound of the wind, marvels in the beauty of the 100+ year old pines. This home is old Hudson Valley, when time moved a bit slower and you enjoyed the long days and cool nights just a little more. The Home, is all about space and a sence of ease.
