| A spacious country residence, The Villa was formerly owned by Columbia University-when Dwight Eisenhower was the University's president, he spent weekends here. You'll want to do the same, thanks to the quiet, convenient setting, the large terraces and gardens, and extras like a hot tub and a home office equipped with a personal computer, typewriter, copier, and fax machine. Continental breakfast is served in a formal dining room or, in nice weather, on our sunny veranda. Snacks and beverages are available at other times. |

| Directons |
| From Laguardia and JFK Airports: and all other parts of Long Island: Find an exit from the airport that leads you to the Van Wyck Expressway (From JFK) or to the Grand Central Parkway (LGA) heading towards either the Whitestone or the Throgs Neck Bridge. If you're on the Van Wyck, there will be an exit for the Grand Central almost as soon as the traffic has cleared up. Cross over the Whitestone (toll $3.50) and stay to the left. After the toll follow the signs to "Local Road", but get on and stay on the Hutchinson River Parkway. Your worst traffic is behind you. Follow the Hutch to Exit 13 Marked Cross County Parkway West. Exit at 4N. The exit will turn you onto Route 100 going north. At this particular point, Rte 100 is also Central Avenue as well as the service road for the Thruway. You will pass a large Ford Dealer, a Getty gas station, and signs for Toys R Us. At this point read additional directions. Whether you came from the Thruway or the Cross County Parkway, you are all at about the sa me place now. As you drive north, you will see a Ground Round Restaurant on the other side of the road. BEFORE you pull even with the Ground Round, there is a sudden sharp right hand turn onto Rutland Road. If you catch that turn, take Rutland to the end and turn left onto Rockledge. We will be the 6th house on the right. Large white house with green shutters. Should you miss the turn off, keep going until you see and exit from Central Avenue to Palmer Road. Take Exit, turn right onto Palmer at the top o f the exit hill and go about 1/2 mile to Sunnybrook Road. Turn right onto Sunnybrook, drive to the stop sign and bear right onto Rockledge. Follow Rockledge all the way to the top of the hill. We will be on your left. |
| From Connecticut and New England: Take I-95 to its junction with the Cross Westchester Expressway (I-287). You have two options then depending on your assessment of the likely traffic delays on either road. If you prefer the Hutchinson River Parkway, do not actually get on the Cross County Parkway west. Exit 4N and read below. Your other alternative is to take 287 to Exit 3 for the Sprain Brook Parkway south (to NYC). From the Sprain take Exit 5 (Central Avenue). The exit forces a right turn onto Central. Go under the overpass and make a right turn before the Gidron Olds-Caddy dealer. At the light, turn right onto Palmer Road, go 4/10ths of a mile to Sunnybrook. Turn right on Sunnybrook and take the right hand fork onto Rockledge Road at the stop sign. Go all the way up the hill and we are the large house with green shutters on your left. Whether you came from the Thruway or the Cross County Parkway, you are all at about the same place now. As you drive north, you will see a Ground Round Restaurant on the other side of the road. BEFORE you pull even with the Ground Round, there is a sudden sharp right hand turn onto Rutland Road. If you catch that turn, take Rutland to the end and turn left onto Rockledge. We will be the 6th house on the right. Large white house with green shutters. Should you miss the turn off, keep going until you see and exit from Central Avenue to Palmer Road. Take Exit, turn right onto Palmer at the top of the exit hill and go about 1/2 mile to Sunnybrook Road. Turn right onto Sunnybrook, drive to the stop sign and bear right onto Rockledge. Follow Rockledge all the way to the top of the hill. We will be on your left. |
| From Points South and West, Jersey, Washington, Pennsylvania, etc.: Get yourself to the George washington Bridge. As you approach the bridge there are express and local lanes. Go for local because it will put you on the lower level of the bridge. Try to stay in the right hand lane of the bridge - even though it may be difficult. Take the bridge exit for the Major Deegan Exp & 87 North. In a few miles the deegan becomes the New York State Thruway and the exit numbers will start again at 1. Right after a mall of sorts you will find exit 5 take it. Then see the additional directions. Whether you came from the Thruway or the Cross County Parkway, you are all at about the same place now. As you drive north, you will see a Ground Round Restaurant on t he other side of the road. BEFORE you pull even with the Ground Round, there is a sudden sharp right hand turn onto Rutland Road. If you catch that turn, take Rutland to the end and turn left onto Rockledge. We will be the 6th house on the right. Large white house with green shutters. Should you miss the turn off, keep going until you see and exit from Central Avenue to Palmer Road. Take Exit, turn right onto Palmer at the top of the exit hill and go about 1/2 mile to Sunnybrook Road. Turn right onto Sunnybrook, drive to the stop sign and bear right onto Rockledge. Follow Rockledge all the way to the top of the hill. We will be on your left. |
