I was here this weekend on a girls' trip with my best friend and could not have been happier with how the weekend went. Eric and Miriam were the most pleasant, gracious hosts and were always available to make our stay most comfortable.
Home/Grounds: The home sits atop a mountain overlooking the Hudson River and thus has some of the most stellar river views I've seen. Their porch out back is stunning and we spent hours out there reading and enjoying the view. I can't imagine how amazing it would be during warmer weather where one would dine outside, as well. The hotel was decorated beautifully in Victorian style (which I loved,) and was formal yet cozy. There are also lovely areas all around the grounds for various activities: hammock, fire pit, tables/chairs, multiple walking paths. I didn't get to spend a lot of time in the game room, but that was a great touch, as well.
Bedroom: We stayed in the Mary Powell suite which was amazing. The views in the morning were spectacular, and the accouterments were perfect (bath robes, chocolates, very comfortable bed.) When I return, I will only stay in this room. I can imagine it would be perfectly romantic for a couple.
Food/service: Not only were Eric and Miriam pleasant, but they are amazing chefs! Living in NYC, my friend and I get tons of good food but I have to say this was the breakfast food I've ever had, from the scones to the eggs Benedict. You truly dine like royalty. The hosts also provide nice touches in the afternoon with wine and cheese, and there are always tasty snacks and drinks available.
There is not much more to say other than that I am desperate to return soon!
