Wonderful stay! Lovely home! Comfortable beds! The house has a well stocked kitchen, lovely living room, and bedrooms along with an outdoor eating area.
Our family so enjoyed staying at your beautifully decorated, comfortable, fully stocked home. Everything you provided made for a lovely stay in the quaint Falls Village location.
The owners of this home have lovingly considered everything for their guests. From check-in to check -out our 3 day visit was magical. The location of Falls Village was perfect as we longed for a quiet respite, and yet close enough to explore a busy Millerton and enjoy all it had to offer also. The kitchen was appointed with everything you could possibly need, comfortable and clean furniture throughout the house. Blankets, towels, sheets galore. Everything was so thoughtful. CLEAN & FRESH, my top priority. Every expectation was met. We will definitely be back very soon.
