Want to get away from it all, visit colleges or attend a wedding? This small village in the Mid-Hudson Valley with great local restaurants, is the home to a lovely, room found in a historic farmhouse with a pond, woods and hiking trails. If you are a student or faculty member of one of the nearby colleges such as Vassar, Marist, DCCC consider a short term rental of several months. We can work out a deal. This house was built in 1820 and is a piece of Mid-Hudson Valley history. It sits on 2+ acres of land and buttresses a 38 acres green trail perfect for long walks, hiking and meditation. The house is filled with art, its quiet and there is thoughtful, intelligent company in the household. The room is a light, airy and relaxing space. It's really like a mini retreat. The guest bed has its own bathroom; and the kitchen and dining room are available if you'd like to use them. Over the Spring, Summer and Fall, guest are welcome to sit on the front porch to unwind. If you need a work meeting area for more than one hour with colleagues, separate arrangements can be made to use the loft space on the top floor. As a host, I am a pretty private person and am a night owl but will make a point of having at least one breakfast with you or share a glass of wine in the evening if you are in my home for more than one day. Located in a cul-de-sac, its a nice suburban feeling with a diverse group of families and other people who usually say good morning. The back of the property is private and woodsy. Its a fabulous contrast. There is very limited public transpiration in Wappingers. There are a few taxis or car services available (now Uber but no Lify however). Everything is nearby 5 to 20 minutes driving in any direction so renting a car is a good idea. One of my favourite places are the County Fare Restaurant and Hornitos Bakery. I periodically have other guests in the house.
