About the host
Hosted by Jane Toby
I am a Senior, semi-retired, Italian teacher and poet. This home has offered me a refuge to be able to think, imagine and compose. I also love being with family and friends and this home has been a perfect place to spend memorabler times together.
Why they chose this property
I bought this house and property a little over 20 years ago. I was looking for a place that resembled what gave me the greatest delight in my childhood - fields and woods, trees, clear- running brooks -all lost where I had spent my earliest years - lost in the name of 'progress.' Just delighted to find those elements of nature that I loved so much here on Mossy Hill Road in the Catskills.
What makes this property unique
Experience living in a quiet spot with fields and woods surrounding.
Enjoy picnicking or grilling outside. Or retire with a book - there are lots of books here for guests to enjoy!
