Thanksgiving weekend upstate

We loved our little weekend in the Glass House, amazing property and environment. The host was very communicative and helpful. The only point is we never managed to lock the front door.

Lovely getaway in the woods

This is a lovely house! The windows give the experience of being in nature and walking around the grounds is really peaceful and beautiful. We were very comfortable there and it felt as though we were on retreat. Will definitely come again!

Long in the tooth

The drapes in the glass house are old and don’t fully cover the glass walls in the main bedroom so the sun light wakes you up bright and early. The outdoor seating is old and broken, interior seating is too hard and uncomfortable to sit on, yes it’s curated but not comfortable. The landscapers were there very early two days disrupting our privacy and peace and quiet. The overall setting is stunning but I would not recommend staying there.
