Edith's Eden Historic Home with Live in Hosts

I will be here during your visit to this historic family home. Enjoy a magical stay and bucolic respite from modern life and make it a weekend with a discounted second night. My family has gathered with friends and family here for over 120 years. We are happy to share this magical place with you and your considerate guests (not wild parties) Historic home set on private acreage overlooking field, lake, and forest centrally located to Hudson Valley and Connecticut region. Ask about events! Step back in time to this amazing house privately ensconced in forest field and lake yet 1 hour from Manhattan, and be sure to consider a second-night discount stay. Large 3 season enclosed porch overlooking huge yard field and lake with a beautiful classic swing on giant 250-year-old maple. Wander the ample grounds with magical hideaway nooks or warm yourself by the fireplace in the library.
