Our trusted cleaning lady of 10 years comes once per week on Fridays. We prefer to keep her engaged even during our multi-week exchanges, out of respect for her livelihood. If you have a cleaning lady too, we will gladly swap services. Our philosophy is that we do not expect our guests to do extensive cleaning when leaving our home, and we would prefer the same. It should be vacation after all!

Tuckahoe is a friendly historic village of 6,000 residents on the edge of the Bronx River. Our quiet, winding street is conveniently located just minutes by foot from all amenities: train station, bus stops, parks, grocery store, shoppes, restaurants, pharmacy, and library. It is also within quick access of major parkways for easy travels to Manhattan, New Jersey (beaches...), Long Island (The Hamptons...), Upstate New York and New England (Boston...). Aside from all New York City offers, there are wonderful activities to do close to our neighborhood as well, such as visiting the Bronx zoo, Botanical Gardens, Bronx River Park, Playland amusement park, Rye beach, Bear Mountain, and numerous hiking, cycling and horseback riding opportunities. Also plenty of cultural and artistic opportunities close by: Dia Beacon, Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens at Pepsico, Pollepel island, Caramoor, Blue Hills at Stone Barns, Pocantico Church, Rockefeller Estate at Kykuit, Untermyer Gardens, Storm King, The Cloisters.

Commuting to midtown Manhattan takes 28-45 minutes via commuter train, and the station is a 7 min walk from our home. Fares cost $7-11 per adult each way, and $1 per child under 12yrs old.
