We currently live overseas and come home every summer to visit family. We were looking for a little staycation and were happy to find this place close to nature trails. The owner was super friendly and greeted us with fresh eggs from his chickens. The place was great for our small family of 3 with everything we needed. It was close to hiking spots and places to shop. Would definitely return in the future!

Had an amazing time at this beautiful retreat in the forest. The space was spacious and well designed and the surrounding forest was peaceful and beautiful. The host attended to every need and even left freshly laid chicken eggs for breakfast. Can’t recommend this spot enough and super easy to visit Ridgefield and other cute small northeast towns in the tristate area.
