12 of us slept comfortably at the New Dawn Foundation for three nights, we enjoyed the location and how close it was to both the city despite feeling like we were hours away. The ability to see the stars at night, enjoy the fresh air, and wake up to the sunrise, all made it worth it.
Prior reviewers made us nervous before our stay, mentioning that the stove wasn't in working condition, that the house was cold, and that they spotted a mouse. I'm happy to report that the stove works perfectly fine, with all four burners being used each and every night we were there. The house is as cold as any house is in the winter, we were lucky that it was quite mild of New Years, but for anyone who lives in the north east, it's nothing that should be unexpected, simply wear socks and a long sleeve shirt indoors. Last but not least, we didn't see any mice or bugs in the property, and while the house is over 100 years old, it was as clean as a property of that age can be.
Overall, we had a very positive experience, and I would recommend both the house and the proprietor, Nancy, who was very quick to reply to all of our questions and helpful throughout the stay. Thank you!
