Summary: My husband and I rented Sheila & Bill’s stunning home in August when Manhattan is too hot and humid to be enjoyable. Their property is what country house dreams are made of! They greeted us when we arrived telling us everything we needed to know about the house and then some, giving us recommendations on where to eat, shop, swim, hike, etc. Being a decorator myself I was so excited to stay in a home that has been so painstakingly restored. The home is stunning and while historical homes can sometimes feel stuffy and as if you are staying in a museum, Sheila & Bill’s home is comfortable, relaxing, and yet so gracious. They have done an amazing job organizing the house so that you can always find what you need. I have also never stayed in a house that has everything you may need - but this home does! It just makes for such a relaxing visit. In the end, the house was so fantastic that we spent more time at in than exploring the neighboring towns, but we did enjoy a dinner at Community Table, getting produce at the local farm stand and picking up summer fruit pies at Bantam Bread Co. Of course we had to pick up some Arethusa ice cream to go with the pies! We had family coming in and out to stay with us during the week and everyone thought the property was fantastic for warm summer days. We spent time reading in the hammock under the pear tree, lazed about on the lawn and sat around the fire pit at night. We also loved using the deck for cocktail hour and grilling. The kitchen was excellent for cooking those large family dinners where everyone helps and the dining room is an ideal backdrop for any meal shared with loved ones. The home exudes a warmth that is rare and it gave us everything we were hoping for and more for our week in the country. We didn’t want to leave and we can’t wait to go back!
