Self-contained studio with private en-suite bathroom & your own private entrance. Our post-modern home (with a private bridge to nowhere!) is perched on a granite outcrop, nestled in the trees on a quiet winding street, & backs up to the Winnakee Nature Reserve and walking trails. Minutes to Hyde Park shops and must-see historic sites of FDR Estate & library, Eleanor Roosevelt's Valkill Cottage, and Vanderbilt mansion. Convenient to the Culinary Institute, Marist & Vassar College. The room is thoughtfully laid out to efficiently use the space. Super-comfy queen-size bed. A pull-down table is available for dining or your laptop. Stash your things in the wall closet. There is a kitchenette corner with fridge, microwave, and coffee maker (but not full cooking facilities). You'll enjoy the restful views from the huge picture window. You may spot our feline resident, Khloe, but she is not allowed in the guest room. Guests also can enjoy the outdoor patio, overlooking the woods and natural areas of the neighboring nature trails. You can also relax on the bench in a private shaded nook on the rocky outcrop on the other side of the bridge. For those that prefer their privacy, we respect that and will become invisible during your stay. All others, we are available by chance. We would love to chat and share suggestions about the area and places to visit. We're always just a text or phone call away! Hyde Park is quite the popular historic destination, with the Roosevelt Presidential estate , the Vanderbilt mansion, and Eleanor Roosevelt's ValKill cottage, bookending the town. We are within minutes of all of the shopping, dining, hiking, kayaking and the Walkway over the Hudson. There is limited public transportation - You'll need your car, bicycle, or Uber. Rail transportation to New York and Canada are available at the nearby Poughkeepsie station. 2-day minimum stay. Longer term stays always welcome. There is off-street parking. Note that there is a flight of stairs to access the unit.
