If you are looking for a space requiring indoor high heat cooking we suggest you look for an Airbnb that has a full kitchen. The description below will tell you more about what is included which most guests have been more than fine with. We are located on a main road so there will be some noise of passing cars. When the leaves are not on the trees you can see the road. If you are looking for complete wooded seclusion, unfortunately Acorn Hill Cottage may not be for you.

About Us: I’m a photographer who works in NYC and rests here in Rhinebeck with my husband Mick who is a musician from Ireland and now also a local real estate agent, so if you fall in love with the area as much as we have, he's the one to call. Our 6 & 4 year old Bernedoodles Scooter & Weezy may be seen out the window from time to time running around the yard. Both are overly friendly so feel free to say hi. We hope you’ll love our cottage as much as we do. We designed it ourselves for comfort and consider it the perfect little oasis in this adorable town. Guest access Full cottage with porch and deck with private driveway and surrounding grounds with fire pit. Other things to note -PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE BOOKING. Remove shoes before entering. The cottage is NOT child proofed. Best suited for children that are not toddlers. 2 night minimum stay unless a single night is all that is left available on the calendar. This is a studio open floor plan with no stove and no handicap access. All is clearly listed. We thought long and hard about whether to have a full kitchen or not and ended up opting not to. The space is not large and with an open floor plan we didn’t want guests to deal with smells of the last guests' cooking. The hot plate we provided for a while quickly showed us it was a bad idea. Rather than being used to warm a pot, elaborate meals complete with oil splatters and heat damage soon occurred. For this reason you will see in the house rules that hot plates or portable cooking stoves are NOT ALLOWED. Cottage is up a hill located on a main road so there is a bit of traffic noise that most guests don’t seem to mind. If you want complete silence this is probably not for you. In the winter when the leaves are gone it is less secluded than other times of year. Cancellation policy is strict so be sure you have read through and know exactly what you are booking as we are not responsible for any bookings mistakingly made due to not properly reading the listing.
