Small cozy room in historic 1828 Dobbs Ferry home.
This is a sweet warm room with twin bed chest of drawers, desk and hanging closet with shelves. I have a 2nd larger room with two twin beds in it, listed separately, and also a very small bedroom with a slightly narrower bed with a curtain across the doorway. Please note: I have one cat. So if you are allergic, maybe not a good choice for you. There is no TV in the room. The space A charming Cape-Cod style cottage, known as "The Little Red House" - is listed as the oldest house in Dobbs Ferry, being built around 1828. This middle-sized guest bedroom is on the second floor along with two other family bedrooms. The bathroom is shared. The guest bedroom is small but cozy with a single bed, small desk, chest of drawers and a closet. There is no A/C in the summer but we have fans. Another slightly smaller bedroom (unlisted), just recently renovated and restored with a slightly narrower bed complete with chest of drawers, small gentleman's desk and bookshelf is also available on the same floor for a slightly discounted rate of $40. There is no closet in this room. Perfect for parent with child, or two friends each wanting their own room. This room does not have a door, but has a full length curtain across the doorway. I usually sleep here. Another larger bedroom with 2 twin beds is also available. Check out my other listing, "Large bedroom in historic 1828 Dobbs Ferry home" Guest access The guest is welcome to use the whole house which is shared between me and my grown up twin sons when they are home, which is not often. The house has a small galley kitchen, a dining room and a living room. Kitchen privileges are use of fridge to store items, microwave, tea and coffee making and use of the stove. There is a lovely back patio along with a grill and a picnic table under a green canopy that looks across a small back garden. The house has a small front porch for sitting, and boasts an English garden bursting with flowers in the spring and early summer. BIKE TOURS I have 2 bicycles. Rent a bike for the day at $30 each and ride along "The Old Croton Acqueduct". Bike passes for the train are included. Each bike has a rack with attached bag to store your lunch and belongings. The OCA is a beautiful car-free wooded dirt path that runs through all the river towns. From Dobbs Ferry it runs 19 miles north and ends up at the magnificent Croton Dam. This is a spectacular one whole day adventure, with lots of things to stop and look at along the way including the Lyndhurst mansion, the bike path running right through the middle of it. Towards the end of the trail, a little ways below the dam there is a steep path that leads you down to the river where there is a great swimming hole. The river is deep and slow here and you can jump off rocks into the slow moving water. To do this ride you need to be reasonably fit as there are a couple of areas where you have to scramble a little bit. On the way, in Ossining there are some wonderful local Equadorian eating joints. Right below the Ossining Weir there is a great little museum, "The Sing Sing River Museum" that includes photos and historical information about the construction of the aqueduct as well as Sing Sing prison itself. Really, really fun and very small. Definitely worth a visit. No entrance fee. From the dam you get on the road and cycle back to the Croton on Hudson railway station, stopping in at "The Blue Pig" to get a delicious ice cream. Take the train back to Dobbs Ferry. During your stay We are a friendly family and interested in getting to know our guests to the extent with which they would like to interact. We also respect the need for "down time" and quietitude. Other things to note Sometimes my adult twin sons come home to visit. This does not happen very often. There may or may not be another guest when you stay as I have 2 rooms that I let out. I have 1 cat that is friendly. There are a few rules that I would like guests to adhere to: I would like the screens for the windows to be kept closed at all times, especially on the ground floor where the kitchen is and where the cat's food dishes are located. This is to prevent flies and other unwanted insects from coming in. The back door and front door needs to be closed at all times as raccoons that live in the neighborhood will take advantage and walk in which they have done before. Also my neighbors cat will come in and spray if the door is left open. Guests need to remove their shoes once inside the house. I have a shelf by the front door where they can be place. Absolutely no smoking, vaping or e-cigarettes.
