Big studio loft with tons of natural light, vaulted ceilings, hammock, big backyard and private deck! Vintage mid-century style! 700 sq/ft stand-alone unit with a full kitchen. Nestled on 3.5 beautiful acres in the heart of Hudson Valley farm country, the studio stands adjacent to an 1890 farmhouse where your hosts live. New floors, queen-sized bed, 48" tv, fridge and couch. All these new things live alongside some of our favorite vintage finds. A perfect getaway spot. The space The studio is totally separate from the main house, above our garage. We understand how valuable privacy is when you're trying to relax away from home. However, if you need anything, be it a cup of sugar or a restaurant recommendation - please don't hesitate to ask! Guest access The studio and its deck are all yours! It is very private. Guests have their own parking spot in a driveway that is shared with the hosts. The hammock is exclusively for guest use. The shade from that tree moves throughout the day so go ahead and move the hammock around if you want to. In winter months, we put the hammock away. Feel free to utilize and enjoy the yard and outdoor space - we have a wide open sky for stargazing. There is an outdoor blanket in the studio, perfect for a picnic or watching shooting stars. Please note that you need to go up a flight of stairs to access the studio space. Other things to note There is air conditioning and heat, both of which you can control to your liking. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker as well as a pour-over coffee cone with filters, and pots and pans, flatware, dishes, etc. There is no dishwasher. There is a shower (no tub). Towels are provided, as well as shampoo and conditioner. There is a hair dryer and an iron. There is a portable Bluetooth speaker. The tv has Netflix, YouTubeTV and HDMI inputs. There is WiFi. We’ve had many guests use the studio as a place to work from home, and nobody has had any problems with its speed or reliability. As for laundry, for longer-term guests, we give access into our garage, which has a washer and dryer. (If you are staying for a shorter stay and need to do laundry, just contact us and we will open the garage for you.) This is apple country and we are in an agricultural neighborhood, so you may hear some noises from the local farms and businesses. There is an apple farm across the street, a livestock farm behind us, and a cider mill next door. These businesses usually aren’t very loud, but occasionally you may hear truck or animal noises. With the animals - please enjoy the view but DO NOT walk up to that farm's fence - it is private property. Our backyard runs alongside another farm’s open field, so you might see farmers and their equipment come and go on the hillside. Feel free to wave hello! *** Sorry - no pets, no parties, no smoking.
