Come relax on our cozy homestead in upstate NY! Beautiful in all seasons, you are welcome to wander around the 8 acre property and/or use it as a home base to everything the Capital Region has to offer. Approximately 20 minutes to Albany, 15 minutes to Troy. Groceries, coffee shops, and restaurants are all a quick drive. 30 minutes to Jiminy Peak. Please note we live on the property about 50 feet away in the main house. The property currently has dogs and chickens. This cottage was built back in 1857 along with the main farm house. The property has served many purposes through the years including an active farm, a commune in the 60s, a writing hub for the RPI student newspaper, stabled horses, and is now the start of a homestead for you to enjoy. The cottage has been recently renovated to give it a fresh feel and modern comforts. We hope you enjoy! You are welcome to wander around the property and through the woods, but please remain on the property and be respectful to our neighbors. The stone patio, fire pit, and grill outside the main house is a communal space with the Host. A dining area private to the AirBnB is located on the other side of the cottage. Chickens: There is a chicken coop toward the back of the property that you are welcome to go see. Please note that it has an electric fence! Maintain a safe distance from this fence to prevent any shocks. Please do not disturb or attempt to touch any of the chickens. We are always willing to chat with our guests while we are around the property, but will give you space and privacy as well. We live on a peaceful rural residential road. The best way to get here is by car. Uber/Lyft can be used as needed. We are approximately 20 minutes from the Amtrak train station. We live in the main house about 50 ft from the cottage. We are often around working on the property and letting our dogs out. If you see us and have a question or need, please let us know!
