We are Karen Gibbons and Peter Reich, NYC artists, long ago lured upstate in hopes of escaping the sweltering heat and distractions of summer in the city. Attracted by unspoiled rural beauty, we were delighted to find a beautiful secluded property right on the banks of the Delaware River. Here we have restored a grand old Victorian home, run a B&B, and raised three children, while pursuing respective careers of holistic therapy and bicycle design in the city. Now we have reimagined the heart of our place in the country, and proudly offer you River Dreams. As your hosts, we are delighted to share our passions with you. We offer our house for those seeking an opportunity to retreat in a serene and beautiful environment. Our place has had a long and colorful history: as the local lumber baron's private home in the 1800's, a halfway house for recovering alcoholics in the 1940's, a ceramics shop in the 1960's and a bed and breakfast in the early 2000's. Situated on the banks of the Delaware River the house has always been a place where its inhabitants can enjoy and appreciate the wonders of the local environs. Currently, we are offering a slice of inspiration and serenity to artists and other seekers for residencies and retreats and calling it River Dreams.
