An autumn lake under a grey sky, its shoreline of red, orange and gold trees reflected in still water

The valley sets the schedule. The houses keep it.

Kerhonkson · Greenfield Park · Swan Lake

Three houses in upstate New York. Each one booked whole, never shared.

A 20 by 46 foot pool near Minnewaska. A sixteen-seat theater on sixteen acres. A sauna and a private dock at Swan Lake. What follows is one entry per house, the way a field guide records a place: what it is, how large, and where it sits.
