Welcome to our beloved family country retreat - it's got all the space you need to relax and reconnect with friends and family comfortably. Perfect for weekends exploring the Hudson Valley, or relaxing at the house. SPRING 2026 UPDATE: We are holding back availability once construction starts on a pool, hot tub and pickleball court in mid-May. Stay tuned for new pictures, and dates once construction is complete. The space Welcome to the Hideaway - our family's refuge. Our home outside of Red Hook is quiet, set on a hill with views of the surrounding hills and spectacular sunsets. We are frequent visitors and host to friends (hence low availability), but are happy to share our space when we can't be there. The house common spaces are open and airy. Our chef's kitchen has a Viking range and warming drawer, and nearly all the kitchen gadgets you'll need to make your meals. The kitchen table seats ~ 8-10 for informal meals; the dining table in the great room has seats for 12. The couches in both the great room and the media room are perfect for napping, reading, or watching TV. (We don't have cable, but you can sign in to streaming services or choose a DVD from our collection.) There's an additional TV/play space in the basement that our kids love for games. The basement is also home to a small work-out area with a Peloton Row, Peloton Bike, weights, mats, and yoga blocks. The bedrooms are cozy places to recharge, with two on the main floor, and two upstairs. On the main level, we have one King bedroom, and one en-suite Queen bedroom. Upstairs, you'll find two more Queen bedrooms and a hall bathroom. All of the Queen mattresses are firm; the King is softer. We have an additional bonus room upstairs filled with books and a comfy couch; it is adjacent to an office area that is open to the kitchen below. If you're working remotely, there are two work spaces with desks and monitors to plug in/cast to. The first space is an office upstairs that is open to the kitchen below. (Great to work but still be part of the action, less great for calls.). The other desk space is in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Outside of the house, there's plenty to keep you busy. There's a large patio ringed with solar cafe lights for lounging, dining, and roasting marshmallows around the Solo Stove. For the kids, there's a large play structure (visible from the patio). The garage stores an outdoor ping pong table and additional games and toys you can bring out onto the lawn - half-court pickleball net, Kan Jam, Bocce, a kiddie pool, slip and slide, and enough sleds for the whole family. The house might be our kids' favorite spot, so we are stocked for them and their friends. We have a pack-and-play, toddler cot, and several high chair/booster seat options. There are plenty of toys and games to try out and a well-loved "art corner." Outside of the house, we are quick drives to many of the best places in the Hudson Valley. If you're looking for fruit picking, or local brews, Vossburgh Brewery, Rose Hill Farms and Cidery, Grieg Farms, and many others are all ~15 minutes away. 15 minutes will also put you in Tivoli, Red Hook, or at Bard College. Rhinebeck and Hudson are roughly 20 minutes. For winter sports, Catamount is 30 minutes north, while Butternut, Hunter and Bosquet are about an hour away. Important notes: - Guests will not have access to the indoor fireplace - We cook at the house - a lot! As such, the kitchen has most of the spices and oils you could want; we leave some condiments in the refrigerator that guests may use. - In the winter months, we recommend a 4 wheel drive - our driveway is long and steep, and can get icy. We do have it plowed regularly when it snows, and there is salt in the garage if needed. - Year-round, we do recommend ensuring that your furry friends are treated for ticks before visiting as the neighborhood deer do enjoy wandering through our yard daily. We treat the mowed yard, and around the house for tickets regularly, but, it's the country, and we do occasionally find the little buggers. We leave OFF and tick remover in the entry way. Guest access Guests will have access to most of the house. Because this is a place that we frequent, there will be some locked closets and cabinets. There are plenty of condiments in the refrigerator, and all the cooking basics (oils, spices, etc) for guest use. The fireplace in the Great Room will be not be available for use. Other things to note Because this is foremost our family home, we do want to meet you before booking. Drop me a message, tell me a little bit about yourself (and your pets, if you’re bringing them) and what brings you to the Hudson Valley, and I'll approve the stay immediately after.
