Cozy Carriage House on a Private Historic Estate- one of a kind American gem
Nestled in the heart of suburban New Jersey, just a stone's throw away from the bustling metropolis of New York City, lies an idyllic retreat that will transport you to a world of serenity and vintage charm. "One of the Best... in NJ" Conde Nast Traveler Jan. 2023 and March 2025. Welcome to a private 3-bedroom carriage house, set on a historic estate that is an "oasis in a metropolis". Experience a one of a kind American gem. Dog and Kids Welcome.
As you step through the doors of the carriage house, you'll immediately feel a sense of calm wash over you. With plenty of natural light flooding the space and views of courtyard and natural pond just beyond, you'll feel like you've been transported to a world far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.The home boasts three bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated with vintage-inspired accents that add to the overall ambiance of the space. Whether you're travelling with family, friends, or colleagues, there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and make themselves at home. The home has 1 full bath and 1/2 bath on the main floor. Relax in the full living room with cozy fireplace or in the sun room which also provides a great work-space. The full kitchen has full refrigerator, dishwasher, stove/oven, keurig, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, airfryer, many additional amenities. Enjoy the courtyard or your own patio area behind the carriage house to take in the sounds of nature and overlook the courtyard in front or your private seating/dining area in the rear of the house. One of the things that sets the home apart is the complete privacy that it offers. Unlike other vacation rentals where you may be sharing common spaces with other guests, the interior of the carriage house is entirely yours to enjoy during your stay. Whether you're looking to curl up with a good book in one of the cozy reading nook or spend time outdoors, you will feel as if you stepped back in time and can unwind. (Pardon us as some garden renovations/restoration continue/yard not fully fenced). You may encounter other guests/hosts/ maintenance in the gardens or they may see in other structures on the estate.
For those who love to explore, our location couldn't be more perfect. Situated just a short distance from public transportation, airports, hospitals, shopping, restaurants, parks, golf courses, and hiking trails, New York City appx 20 miles, there is always something new to discover. Whether you're looking to spend the day wandering through the charming streets of nearby towns or embarking on a more adventurous hike through one of the many nearby nature reserves, there is no shortage of things to see and do. Most compelling reason to stay with us is the sense of character and charm that permeates every inch of our home. From the vintage furnishings to the unique architectural features, every detail has been carefully curated to create a space that is both welcoming and unforgettable. And with our kid- and dog-friendly policies, you can rest assured that the whole family will feel right at home. (2 Dogs Max-Hypoallergenic Dogs, other breeds, please indicate, $85 per pup per stay). So what are you waiting for? Come and discover this hidden gem and experience the ultimate retreat at our private carriage house.
