This desirable 1930s cottage sleeps 5 and has all the chicness of the city, surrounded by the best of upstate New York’s countryside. A baby swing hangs from a large, sprawling tree in the yard and kids can play on the wraparound lawn. Enjoy a locally sourced dinner al fresco at the patio table seating 8 followed by s'mores at the fire pit and star gazing through the telescope. Inside, have cozy family breakfasts in the chic dining room beneath a wrought iron chandelier lined with faux candlelight and the top floor is perfect for playing no matter what the weather is. We also love the covered front porch with potted flowers and seating, overlooking the lovingly cared for front garden.

Cider donuts, pumpkin picking, and rolling meadows
Two hours north of New York City, this quiet area of historic farms, pick-your-own pumpkins and traditional small towns makes for a relaxing break. Join the kids and go wild in the country, climbing trees, eating cider donuts, watching bald eagles soar, playing in meadows and hiking nature trails.
