My wonderful boyfriend and I enjoyed an unforgettable stay at Alice's this past weekend for my…read morebirthday. While it was only one night, it was still a lovely and memorable experience. Before going into detail about the location and accommodations, I have to rave about how charming Alice, the host, is. She happily greeted us with the warmest smile, and throughout our stay, we could easily feel how sweet and genuine this woman is. She always made sure we had everything we needed, and offered ideas of things we could do around the area. Upon our arrival, she asked if we had any food preferences for breakfast.
The living area was everything you'd imagine from a lakefront B&B. A spiral staircase led us up to the cozy, second floor private suite. It was filled with sunlight, and offered a beautiful view of Greenwood Lake. The queen sized bed, adjoining bathroom and shower, small living room, and modern kitchen were perfect for our little getaway from NYC.
The following morning, Alice invited us into her home for breakfast. She was so hospitable and offered us cereal, fresh fruit, juice, and coffee while we waited for eggs and toast. Most people would feel uncomfortable sitting in someone's dining room while the host prepares breakfast, but Alice really made us feel at home. My boyfriend and I were grinning ear to ear throughout our entire breakfast, as we soaked in all the good energy and enjoyed our conversations with Alice. After breakfast, we took the canoe out on the lake and enjoyed a relaxing morning out on the water. The views from the middle of the lake were breathtaking, and it was easily one of my most favorite parts of our weekend getaway.
We are both so happy that we were able to experience our first B&B with Alice, as she was more than just a host to us. During our short stay with her, we were able to learn more about her, and share pieces of our lives with her. We made so many wonderful memories at Alice's, but the experience wouldn't have been the same without her. Not only is she a gracious host, but also a kindhearted, admirable woman. We plan on keeping in touch, and we already can't wait for our next visit!
