Capture a slice of Kingston's heritage in this historical frame home, built in 1811 by the sheriff for his daughter. Thoughtfully updated, the house retains beautiful period details like double-hung windows, Federal-style staircase, and decorative fireplaces—all paired with comfortable, contemporary furnishings. Family-friendly amenities make it a great spot for travelers of all ages. A charming house filled with character and history for you to enjoy—just be patient with her quirks! The space The Rachel Dumond House is one of the Stockade District's oldest post and beam constructions. This Dutch vernacular home features 12"-18" wide board floors, wavy glass pane windows, hand-planed doors, and a Federal-style open staircase. The outdoor patio is bordered by a historic bluestone drywall - a charming backdrop for the enclosed natural backyard that provides refuge for birds and wildlife. While so much of what Kingston has to offer is conveniently located within walking distance, we hope that once you step inside, you will find a space where you can retreat from the world. The 2300 sq ft. house is the perfect backdrop for pared-back simplicity and we have kept our design elegantly minimal, peaceful and tranquil. The furniture is inspired by the functionality and form of mid-century modern. Please have patience as we work on the kinks as she's an old house. LIVING ROOMS - Downstairs, you'll find our cozy and intimate 'drawing room'—perfect for conversation or unwinding. Settle in on the sectional, spin a few records, and enjoy the charm of the decorative fireplace. - Upstairs is the 'den', a bright and airy space with desks for working or studying. When it’s time to relax, stretch out on the couch and stream your favorites on Apple TV. KITCHEN/DINING The dining table comfortably seats six, perfect for family meals or relaxed gatherings. The kitchen is well-equipped with a microwave, toaster, electric kettle, and a versatile Breville Air convection oven.

The home isn’t childproof, so please keep an eye on them. LAUNDRY We have a washer and dryer in the basement. Guest access You will have access to most of the house - there is a backyard, and laundry in the basement. However we discourage guests from going into other parts of the basement as it is unfinished. There is space for one car in the driveway next to the house. Other things to note Please note, the fireplaces are decorative and not for use. The floors between the bedrooms are not soundproof, so we ask guests to be mindful of noise.
