Home was completely gutted and rebuilt by owners w special attention to historic details, millwork, marble bathrooms and updated white kitchen w high end appliances. Home is a short walk to the Hudson River w views of the Catskills, Mills Mansion and Dinsmore public golf course. We are 8 min from the Village of Rhinebeck, and just a few miles from Bard, Vanderbilt, CIA, Omega, Fairgounds and other towns Our home is in a quiet setting situated on 1.5 private wooded acres. There are two bedrooms upstairs, one with a queen bed and one with a double bed. There is a shared Jack and Jill marble bathroom adjoining each bedroom. There is a day bed in the basement that sleeps two for special situations such as teenagers, kids or one extra person. The finished basement is a cozy space with a table and several board games. However the systems and laundry room are also in the basement so it can get a little noisy if you're sleeping down there. It can also get cold in winter and we don't allow space heaters. There is an extra charge of $100 per day per person for more than 4 guests. Lounge in the great room in front of the fire or watch a movie on Netflix. Enjoy a glass of wine in the 1850 parlor or a good meal sitting at the antique dining table looking out on the wooded landscape. Enjoy the summer months and fall foliage on the flower filled patio that is equipped with plenty of dining space and a beautiful large Weber grill. The kitchen is fully remodeled and upgraded with everything you may need for cooking and dining. Kitchen includes a coffee bar, coffee, tea drawer, 2 teaqpots, cups, all utensils, cookware, toaster oven, blender. Historical records indicate the home was on the route of FDRs Sunday drives. There are two porches to sit on during the warmer weather to eat, drink your coffee or wine and enjoy the gardens. The antique front porch has several antique wicker chairs and a table. The large deck porch over the garage has a large table with chairs. The porch also houses the grill and is off of the living room for easy access to the kitchen.

These are some of the highlights of the beautiful Hudson Valley Fall foliage Fairs and festivals- just about every weekend there is something happening at the fairgrounds. The Sheep and wool festival is very popular in the fall. The Country Living Antique Fair is often held in Rhinebeck. The county fair in August is wonderful for kids and adults. The kids can watch cows giving birth and the 4H milkshakes are to die for:-) Rhinebeck Farmer's market is open every Sunday from April-Oct It is special and iconic with live music, great farm to table food and artisans -it really is the best around! Other attractions within minutes from the home include: Culinary Institute of America (CIA) Several wineries Ski at Belleayre, Catamount, Windham or Hunter Mountains The summer music festival at Bard College Omega Institute Aerodrome air shows Wineries (popping up all over!) Spas Golf Boating FDR Library and Museum Vanderbilt estate Eleanor Roosevelt's Val-Kill cottage The area is usually quiet. Traffic and parking at our home is free and easy. In winter we ask that you park at the top of the driveway if snow is expected. Parking can be tricky in Rhinebeck when there are special events in town. The Farmers Mkt on Sundays from April-Oct is usually crowded and Sundays are a busy fun happening in downtown Rhinebeck. We are available via text or Airbnb to offer help throughout your stay. There is an appliance/system notebook and a home binder in the kitchen hutch filled with information including important phone numbers and many local eateries and activity options. Our guests are great to leave notes in the guestbook about new finds or special places they visited on their trip, so check that out too! (And please sign:-) Here are some of my favorite restaurants and grocers: Local Food: Our favorite restaurants in Rhinebeck are: Bread Alone for coffee and breakfast (prices are very reasonable) including artisan breads and pastries, sandwiches, breakfast or simple organic food. The closest to us is River Post in downtown Staatsburg (2 min away) and they have very good food. Terrapin Bistro Le Petit Bistro Momonji Sushi Bar Gigi's (Italian) Posto (wood fired pizza) The Rhinecliff Hotel for beautiful views on nice days Aroi (Thai) and Cinnamon (Indian). The Red Onion is on the way to Woodstock and is very good -a little pricey. Two good grocery stores in Rhinebeck are TOPS (near the fairgrounds next to Williams Lumber) and Sunflower Naturals (in the Rhinebeck village). Hannaford is on 9G enroute to Redhook or also just across the Rhinecliff Bridge in Kingston. Hannaford has better prices but Tops can have better produce (IMHO). Adams Fairacre Farms is also just across the river in Kingston and is where we go for produce meats and fish. They also have good cheeses and baked goods. Skip the aisles as things get expensive:-) Our home is private, wooded and safe with close proximity to several of the most popular sites in The Hudson Valley. We have great neighbors and want to keep it that way:) Arnie and Marial are across the street. Arnie is a retired 90yo neurosurgeon and can often be found on his property on a tractor or chopping down trees with his chain saw:-) The Village of Rhinebeck (and Dutchess County Fairgrounds) is a few miles up the road on Rte 9. The village has several restaurants and bistros, antique shops and an art theater (Upstate Theater). The farmers market on Sunday is one of the best with locally grown food, artisans and local musicians. Our home is midway between mansions/walking trails at Vanderbilt, Norrie Park, FDR, Mills Mansion and the center of Rhinebeck Village. We are also minutes from the Omega Institute and the Culinary Institute of America Additionally many of the best ski areas including Hunter, Bellayre, The Berkshires, Butternut and Catamount are all within driving distance. Metro North in Poughkeepsie (The Hudson Line) is 11 mi away. It is a 2h commute to Grand Central Station in NYC. The tickets are cheaper if purchased online at MTA.info but it is even easier through the app MTA eTix. The Amtrak can be taken from Rhinecliff which is 7.3 miles away and goes into Penn Station in NYC. There are binders full of information about the area, incl places to visit, walk and eat. Our home is on a cut road between 9G and Rte 9 (Albany Post Road) which leads into Rhinebeck. We are at the top of a hill that winds around and are on the right side of the road. Our home is dark green with white trim and windows. Due to being an antique home, it is too close to the road to park in front of the home. We ask that you park in the gravel turn-around at the top of the hill and enter through the front door. ***Please leave fireplace running for no more than 4 hours. Do not leave on when you leave home or overnight. The control is kept on the living room coffee table and is very intuitive There is a narrow antique staircase leading to bedrooms PLease only use mild detergent (Mrs Meyers) on the marble and stainless steel. (No harsh chemicals) Each guest is given a code on day of check-in for the Smart Lock which is located on the side door The Grill Propane for the grill is not automatically provided. If you find tanks empty they can be refilled for $20 each at Williams Lumber in Rhinebeck (next to fairgrounds) There is a beautiful Weber grill on the deck. The cleaners do not clean the grill It is easy and quick to keep up if cleaned regularly after each use and usually only takes minutes. So we just ask that the grill be cleaned by each guest if used in consideration of the guests that come after you. This will also prevent fires and improve the taste of your food. All of the grill cleaning supplies are on laundry room shelves over washer /dryer Being in the country there may be an occ bug or bee that sneaks in. We have sprays in the basement but we rarely have to use. If at all possible, we don't like to use chemicals in or outside due to the many animals and wildlife that are around. Please wash your hands upon arrival The Airbnb guidelines for Covid safety are followed by our cleaners and are provided for our guests. The home is aired out, cleaned and kept empty prior to each guest arrival. We try our best to keep essentials stocked. Please message me if you need anything replenished.
