Tivoli is a tiny village, friendly & quaint, centrally located between Rhinebeck and Hudson with Germantown and Red Hook along the way. It's one of the Hudson Valley's hidden gems and an easy, 5 minute walk from the Barn. It's an awesome spot to explore the Mid-Hudson Valley - from farms to old mansions, from antiquing to watching cabaret at the Spiegeltent or high-end dance & music performances at the Frank Gehry Performing Arts Center. Visit Olana, catch experimental music at the Basilica Hudson, take an easy hike through the Poet's Walk. Not to mention all the wonderful dining experiences all the way from Rhinebeck to Hudson. For the adventurous guests we have Tivoli Bays (multiple entrances close to us) for kayaking, paddle boarding, bike riding or just a hike on your own two feet. I also love that Tivoli has one of each amenity and they are all worth checking out; remember, it's only a 5 minute walk on a paved sidewalk! Tivoli Bakery / hmmm, chocolate brioches...
