A Walk Along The River - stylishly renovated farmhouse with park like private yard surrounded by wooded State Park Land. Located on a quiet 2 mile cul de sac running along the Hudson River with multiple entrances to walking trails. The property offers full privacy. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch peeking at the river, enjoy an al fresco lunch under the shade of a magnificent wood pergola with large custom built concrete tables. Have a lazy afternoon reading or napping in hammocks shaded by large Mulberry trees, and relax in the evening with drinks on the back patio under a retractable awning. Night time star gazing can be enjoyed lounging in the Adirondack chairs surrounding the stacked stone fire pit while enjoying the glow and warmth of a campfire in your own back yard.
The home offers a fully equipped kitchen that opens to the family living room space with wood burning fireplace, flat screen TV with sweeping views to the back yard. A separate dining area with seating for 8 -10 guests opens to an adjacent living room for after dinner drinks and quiet conversations. The sleeping quarters are privately located on the upper floor and consist of three separate bedrooms and two full baths, one of which is en suite.
20 minutes to Hudson's renown shopping and dining scene, and the Amtrak station. 30-40 minutes to either Windham or Hunter mountain resorts. Easy access to the NY Thruway and 30 mins to Albany. A quick 5 minute drive to the charming river towns of Athens and Coxsackie and many outstanding local eateries, farm stands, antiques markets and watering holes.
The property is vast and the house is cozy and beautiful. Clear separation of living and sleeping areas, great to share with another couple or young children or both! And just as important, Filippo (the host) is incredibly nice.
We loved the house. It’s clean and new and well-appointed and quiet, the land it’s on is pretty and well landscaped. Highly recommend.
The house is beautifully designed and an absolute joy. The owners made sure the AC was on before we arrived and on a muggy/humid weekend, that made all the difference. All bedrooms were comfortable with great quality bedding. The park-like setting was calming and peaceful and seen out of every window. The mornings are quiet on this residential street. What a lovely escape.
House was beautiful and the outdoor amenities, including dining table, bbq, comfy chairs were all perfect. The hosts even set up all the wood for our outdoor fire. A lot of fun doing that, including marshmallow roasting. I cooked a bit in kitchen and it was well stocked with utensils. House is a quick walk to Hudson River. Nice morning walk on quiet Street. It was ideal house and ideal location for our weekend. The Town was fun too. Some of our guests traveled up on Amtrak and then took the ferry across from Hudson to Athens. Had so much fun doing that!
We were a bit hesitant to book given the lack of reviews, but the pictures were so enticing, and our hosts were so responsive to our questions and full of great recommendations we decided to pull the trigger. ****What a great place!***** Easy drive from NYC and two friends came by Amtrak train. We picked them up in Hudson, just 20 minutes away. The house had all the amenities we needed for a great summer weekend in the country. The kitchen was well equipped, the bedrooms all had ceiling fans and comfortable beds, and the bathrooms are gorgeous! There is beautiful outdoor space for hanging out, a great gas grill for cookouts, hammocks for relaxing and a fire pit for sharing stories over a nightcap. Accommodating hosts had the A/C ready for us after a hot day of exploring – Close to great restaurants and antiquing and we ended up catching a show at SPAC (only 45 away)! We will be back…maybe for a day at the track! Thank you!
