This house has a unique personality. (History of the home available upon request) LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We are on the unceded lands of the Mohican People. We humbly and gratefully acknowledge that Columbia County, New York is predominantly on the ancestral lands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, who are the Indigenous people of this land. They were subject to genocide, coerced into assimilation, and forcibly removed from their homelands to what is now known as Wisconsin. They continue to retain their unbroken status as a Sovereign Native Nation. Despite removal, they continue to hold relationships with their homelands and settler communities. This home has been thoughtfully curated with care and intention. I’ve chosen sustainable materials, eco-friendly products, and energy-efficient appliances to reduce the environmental footprint after going through a slow renovation in 2025. I'm also dedicated to featuring local small businesses and artisan works throughout the home, which can be purchased. RULES We host a max of 6 registered guests only. No overnight visitors.
