When 2-year-old Gus first saw the farmhouse upstate, standing under some trees after it started to drizzle, he said “This is a beautiful house!”
Stokes was walking around the property while Gus and I stood nearby. The realtor, Carol, was next to us. She later tells us that when Gus said this, she said “Yes!,” thinking of the potential sale.
The name sort of stuck — it’s really not a fancy property — but now when we head upstate, we call it “The Beautiful House!”
We’re now enjoying most weekends upstate and the cooler climate. But we were hoping to rent it out some — when we’re not there, when we’re on vacation elsewhere — if only to recoup some of the renovation costs and to keep the house from being so lonely.
So, sending this out to Facebook friends in case they are interested or have friends who are (we have a friend-of-friend rate). It’s in Livingston Manor in the Catskills, a mere 2 1/2 hour drive – or 2:15 if you’re Stokes.
It’s also an open invitation to come visit and/or stay with us if you’re so inclined. We love guests.
There’s hiking, a brook next door, a cute little town, and a big porch to hang out in and eat some grilled goodies. Willowemoc which is close by is famous for fishing and fly-fishing. There are lots of old train attractions if you’re train-obsessed like Gus, or antiquing stops if you’re looking for deals to decorate your home.
Hit me up if you’re interested or know someone who might be! jesamyngo@gmail.com
