Wonderful spot in the Hudson River Valley!
We absolutely loved our stay in Chestnut—the home was spotless and comfortable, the property was terrific (the lake was perfect for swimming, boating, and fishing), and the owners/management were all very friendly and helpful. We definitely plan to return!
