Our Sisters Wedding Weekend
The location of this property was absolutely perfect! There is 3 bedrooms on the 3rd floor with 1 full bath. On the main level there is a 1/2 bathroom. My husband, 3 year old son and I stayed in the basement. We did purchase a fan to help with airflow down there but the large space was perfect for us. There is a small but full bathroom in the basement with a stand up shower. ((I always travel with a blow up tub for my son)) we also brought our own blow up mattresses that worked perfect for comfort in this space. The fenced in backyard was absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be staying again!

Amazing home with great hosts.
Andrew and Jean made you feel like you were home away from home. Everything was extremely clean and cozy. Very easy to communicate with and extremely friendly. They even had juice boxes and snacks for our children when we arrived as well as iced tea and juice. We would recommend their place to anyone, and will be back again some day as well.

Excellent accommodations
We stayed for a week for our son’s wedding and several events surrounding the wedding. It was centrally located for us and so nice to visit with family from different states. The house was big enough for all and had a nice yard. Highly recommend this VRBO!!! Thank you!

Location was easy access to nearby villages with all the restaurants we wanted and train to city
This house was immaculate with all the amenities listed plus some. Owners were most accommodating in the check in process and welcomed our grandaughter with an extra bed in our room, juice boxes and cereal in the fridge. We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying with them again.

Great hospitality and amenities - lovely stay on Long Island!
Owners Andrew and Jean work hard to treat you as their personal guests both in their attention in preparing the house prior to arrival as well as attending to your needs during your stay. The check in directions very clear and offered communication directly with Andrew and Jean as needed. Plus, they stock the house with all the items you would need upon arrival: toilet paper, paper towels, laundry and cleaning soap, travel size toiletries and snack food items. The towels were plush and memory foam beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the backyard and patio as well as. The kitchen had all the basics and the washer/dryer machine in the basement worked very well. My family and I enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again soon!
