Set apart from the bump and grind of contemporary life, the tranquil, timeless setting of Heron's View offers an astounding reprieve. Perched along a tranquil but riveting vista of the Hudson River, the house, its sprawling lawn and beckoning waterfront offered an amazing five day respite. Despite an unusual heat wave, we were completely comfortable -- romping, reading, kayaking, cooking and eating -- hardly budging from the
property and sleeping in air conditioned comfort (even on nights
when a starry show (the Perseid Meteor shower) taken in from the riverside hammock kept us out into the wee hours.
The house is simple, but immaculately kept and well provisioned.
Thanks, Alex and Brian, for an unforgettable summer sojourn.
