• Rhinecliff - our country house near the Hudson River two hours north of Manhattan in a quiet woodsy setting, beautiful pool in a glass conservatory, great for family reunions - wood-burning fireplace, five bedrooms. Walk from the Amtrak Station or bring your car. Kayak on the nearby Hudson River, cycle to the charming village of Rhinebeck or just relax.
  

• Casa Amanzimtoti & the Casita at our Cloudbridge Nature Reserve - high in the cloud forest of Costa Rica - wake to the song of colorful birds in this tropical paradise. Hike along trails through jungles and meadows, photograph the stunning waterfalls, walk to the nearby village, practice your Spanish, swim in the refreshing waters of a mountain river, learn about the ecosystem from the researchers.  Off the grid,  but the sun provides light and power for the Internet.
  

• Venture even further afield - to Africa! - stay at Wildcliff, our Nature Reserve in the mountains of the Western Cape, three hours from Cape Town, or two hours from the George Airport. A cosy log cabin or renovated farmhouse will provide you with wonderful accommodation during your stay while you learn from the resident biologist about the life of the local baboon troop. Watch the Cape Sunbird dining on protea seeds, or witness the return of the blue cranes to the restored dams on the reserve. With 2300 acres to explore, you could spend weeks in this remote location.
  

• African Haven, on the coast of the Western Cape, near Mossel Bay, is a charming thatched roof two-bedroom house in an environmental preserve. Solar panels and gas appliances keep the property environmentally sound. The sound of the sea will lull you to sleep, and the view of the waves from the house will entice you to walk down to the 8 mile long golden beach. Zebras and buck roam in the 1000 acre preserve and a bird hide will allow you to observe the fish eagles up close. Nearby is one of the best diving areas in Africa.
