The Zen House and the surrounding grounds were simply amazing. There is no place else like this – just amazing! It would be the perfect romantic hideaway – or just a marvelous place for a solo traveler or couple to just relax and experience the amazing peace of this place. And Olga is a delightful host. Welcomed me graciously, gave me a personal tour of the expansive grounds, and provided all kinds of suggestions for local things to do and places to go. She was easily available by text if needed – but everything was so well set up, there wasn’t a need to reach out. And she provided wonderful privacy during my three spectacular day stay! Without exaggeration, this was my very best stay – anywhere – ever!

Olga is really a superhost! Extremely responsive. Proactive in reaching out, giving recommendations and tips on how to enjoy the property and nearby area. The area is very quiet and peaceful (zen indeed!) we cooked one night and found all the cooking appliances and condiments we were looking for fully equipped in the kitchen. There were many clean towels in the bathroom. The shower had shampoo, conditioner and body wash! The house had very nice heating/cooling that you could adjust to your liking. The location is very close to both Grace Farm and The Glass House, which we took full advantage of. Highly recommend Olga and her Zen House.

We have been staying in quiet a few Airbnb places but this by far exceeded our expectations. Olga is a wonderful person and host and her love and passion for the zen house shows in all the special details. She makes sure that her guests feel at home and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The grounds are beautiful as well and we will be back to enjoy and use the pool. It is a magical place and perfect getaway or romantic weekend.

Stamford, CT…not a place I ever envisioned that I needed to travel to. My husband and I were commenting that before Airbnb, we would have never found this magical retreat… we would have ended up in a hotel, not enjoying the beauty and peace that Zenhouse has to offer. Thank you, Olga, for sharing your beautiful property with us. I surprised my husband with a much-needed getaway, and Zenhouse was perfect. The property has a gorgeous space by the river, a pool, and clean, cozy accommodations. The downtown area has a great vibe with many restaurant options. We chose Fish restaurant for our dinner out, 5 stars! We ate dinner in our second night and had everything we needed to prepare our feast, plus the perfect ambience to enjoy our meal. This house left little to be desired… except for more time to spend there. Airbnb is why I travel to a city of the unknown. This home… this home is why I will continue to travel to the unknown.

The Zen House is a wonderful getaway in a beautiful and historic location. Olga was a generous and informative host. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, a great place to recharge and recenter. There is plenty to do in the area and also close enough to the city for taking advantage of all that NYC has to offer. I would highly recommend this location.
Terry
This place is special, this space is serene. Olga is a great host, the property is gorgeous and truly tranquil. Whether you want to get out an explore, or just hang around the property – the Zen house is absolutely phenomenal. The massages booked through Olga are divine. We will definitely be returning, and soon!
