TAKE ME THERE: HILLSIDE SCHOOLHOUSE

I first discovered the quaint Hillside Schoolhouse via AndNorth---the wonderfully curated online guide to everything amazing about upstate New York. I am an avid reader of the site so when they featured Hillside Schoolhouse earlier last year I knew we had to go. The boutique inn, located near the New York | Pennsylvania border, in Sullivan County, was just as AndNorth had pictured and described. The owners purchased and overhauled the schoolhouse perfectly---converting it into a well-designed two bedroom getaway just two hours from the city. Since we decided to stay there during a quiet week of November, we were the only ones at the inn which was terrific. Therefore, we took full advantage of Hillside Schoolhouse by relaxing on the extremely long chesterfield sofas in the common living area, listening to records, reading and spending a lot of time looking in awe at all the design details and furniture pieces [many of which were made by Bronson, the owner, and are for sale]. We cannot wait to go back there!
