This 5-star mountain palace in Vernon, NJ, is close to New York City but far enough to escape reality. Secure 500mb WiFi internet lets you stream 4K movies at night, work from “home” w/powerful signal all through the house (And great for the kids' homework/home schooling.)

We are dog friendly with a heated finished basement and 1 acre fenced in backyard to let your furry friends have their own vacation.
