Private home just 2.5 hours from NYC located on mountain top along charming dirt road, with stunning views, surrounded by nature and real working farms. 18 miles from Ski Windham.

Our house is located 1700 feet above sea level, thus providing outstanding mountain top views and spectacular light pollution free night viewing of the stars.

Downstairs the living room is heated by a large propane fire place (with glass window to watch the flames'.

There is basic unlimited wi-fi internet with modest speeds and 42 inch flat screen TV if you want to plug your computer and watch movies from your device. However, we do not provide any TV cable stations and streaming is usually possible but we do not guarantee it every night since the wi-fi is provided by satellite (much slower than what you are probably used to in your city). Streaming is likely to work just fine 80% of the time. You also have access to the 2 level deck outside, which you access through sliding doors from the kitchen.
