This was the perfect venue for our 50th high school reunion. Everyone loved the setting and it gave our small group a wonderful opportunity to reconnect!

We stayed at the new dawn for my husband and I wedding weekend that was held down the street at the surf club on the sound. My family and I were all able to stay together, whilst enjoying the beautiful property. I’d highly recommend

We booked this home for seven adults and had plenty of room! Everyone remarked on how lovely the house was in the location on the water. Great communication with the property owner. We went into the city most days and this was a great place to come back to all the comforts of Home and More!

Very comfortable stay with lots of room to spread out. Interesting older house with many unique features. We were happy to learn that they recently installed a new furnace and a dishwasher. Lots of cookware and dishes. We spread out over two dining rooms for mealtime which worked well for us.

Second time our 24 person family group stayed here, and if anything, it was even better than last year! The location is exceptional, a quiet, private beautiful Victorian era house right on the Sound. The house is roomy, immaculate and very well equipped. Nancy is on top of everything and responds essentially immediately to any and every concern. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe our wonderful experience!

This is my second state at the New Dawn house and it was just as wonderful as last year. I can't think of a better place for a large gathering in the Bronx area.

Old house, beautiful location on the Sound in New Rochelle, NY. The owners are a not-for-profit who are kind and helpful throughout. House is old and has lovely period touches. House well stocked with linen and towels; kitchen had all items needed.
Suggestions:
1. Some of the bathrooms do not have latches or locks. Needs to be fixed.
2. Some sinks slow to drain.
3. A dishwasher would be a great addition.
4. Uber found it difficult to find the house. They either overshot it or fell short of the house. Also signage on
Davenport Avenue needs to be larger and easier to spot while driving.
All in all, a great stay for our family.

I recently spent a couple of days celebrating my birthday with friends in this place, and it was an unforgettable experience. The house was beautifully furnished with a rich, wooden interior and stunning Tiffany stained glass windows. The expansive lawn offered breathtaking views of the bay, and the cozy pergola provided the perfect spot for relaxation. The elegant tableware added a touch of sophistication to our meals. Overall, it was a charming and memorable stay in a truly special setting.
Nancy, the host, was incredibly gracious and responsive throughout our stay. She promptly answered all of my questions and made sure we had everything we needed. Her warmth and attentiveness truly enhanced our experience.
I wish continued prosperity to the
The New Dawn Foundation supporting this wonderful property. Their efforts in preserving and maintaining such a beautiful place are truly commendable.

The house was perfect for our family gathering. The views are amazing and the outdoor area is incredibly beautiful. The history of the property is unique and makes for a special place.
The only downsides are that the AC units took a while to get the house cooled off, and the pots / pans weren't super clean (there's no dishwasher). The house is old - built in 1900 - so there's lots of intricacies that come with an older place.
But besides that there's lots of beds and rooms to sleep a large group, and the outdoor views are unbeatable.

We stayed at the New Dawn for a Memorial Service. The setting on the water was so peaceful and private, yet easy access for those of us traveling by public transportation from Manhattan and La Guardia airport. We had chairs lined up facing the water for a Celebration of Life Ceremony. The whole downstairs layout was just wonderful with indoor and outdoor areas for people to gather, sharing memories and grief. Food platters from Costco were easily arranged and the weather was perfect. It was so quiet at night, and the beds were very comfy. Loved all the views and old world charm.

If you want to host a large group (10-15 people) and want to do so in a place that feels like home, this house is perfect! It has a wonderful worn and rustic feel while still being modern enough and well-maintained. It is definitely lived in but very clean with all of the necessary amenities and appliances like microwaves, blow dryers, coffee makers and things like that. We had a group of about 7 with some visiting workshop leaders throughout our 3-day stay and the home never felt crowded. There was plenty of space to spread out and if we did get crowded we could have easily held some of our workshops outside. The porch is pretty spacious and so is the lawn. I was provided with a very detailed welcome packet of house rules and instructions on how to access/use everything. The wifi does not extend to the 3rd floor, but that was communicated to us before we arrived, so we were prepared to work around that. If I could offer any advice to the next guests I would say 1) be mindful that finding the location will be tricky for folks like Uber drivers or visitors. So you might consider bringing an outdoor sign or banner to place at the mailbox at the beginning of the road that heads back to the house. 2) we had a minor inconvenience when booking due to the booking calendar not being correct. So I would reach out for assurance that your preferred dates are truly available before making any plans. But other than that, it was a 5 star experience for rustic house living!

The listing stated sleeps 20 however there was a charge of an additional $25 per guest over 15 guests. Somewhere on the listing should have mentioned additional guest fee

We had the most amazing time during our stay. We were able to really enjoy the home for it's characteristics and beautiful views. It was the perfect fall weekend with the trees starting to change, low tide and gorgeous sunset on the sound. The house is a lot to take in at first. There are lots of rooms, stairs and bathrooms, but after a while you find your place and get comfortable. It's close to several restaurants, fast food chains, so you shouldn't have an issue finding nice places to eat.

My family stayed at New Dawn for 3 nights. Amazing location and very relaxing.
The home is very big and is very relaxing.
Some things to consider: the refrigerator is old and not very clean, there is not a dishwasher. There are no electrical outlets in most of the bathrooms and the wiring is not updated . I would not let that deter you from staying because the setting and character of the home outweigh the negatives,

Understand that this is not a "hotel" - more like visiting someone's home.

Staying at New Dawn was a great experience. Communication with Nancy was great and I was even able to view the property before staying there. We used the property and space for a family reunion and had 2 large family gatherings there. It was in a great location for our family that lives nearby and perfect for the large amount of people who travelled from further away. There was space to sit inside and outside which made hosting everyone easy. The 2 fridges helped with keeping the drinks cold and storing food for the family that stayed there. My family and I had a great experience and recommend this place to others.

Property was definitely memorable. A very historic home built in the 1800’s with a lot to discover and explore. The family would have been happy but the bathrooms and kitchen left us all very disappointed. Most of the bathrooms were tiny and uncomfortable. The not so great kitchen I was expecting as there was a picture, but the bathrooms not so much. Hot water ran out while showering which was painful and the power shorted. The good think is the manager was very responsive and helped quickly with issues. Overall, the beauty of the home and property is definitely memorable and made for some nice pictures but not with the hefty price tag in my humble opinion.
