Buck Hill Falls is a good antidote to the crazy lifestyle we all live during the week. It’s a place where we can get away from the bustle of the city, and spend time creating memories with the kids. During the week everyone is doing their thing, but we are together on weekends.

We built a house in 2007 — a year after our first child was born. We live in Brooklyn, but we spend almost every weekend of the year in Buck Hill Falls, with our children and the two dogs. There are beautiful woods, meadows, waterfalls, and streams for the kids and dogs to run around and play in.

We golf, play tennis, spend hours at the pool, hike in the woods, play in the streams, and spend most of our time in the warm months in our garden with our kids. The entire family has really gotten into vegetable gardening the past few years. In the winter, we sled and ice skate with the kids, and the adults cross-country ski in the woods.

It is a good life. The kids, grownups, grandparents, and even the dogs are happy.
