Germantown, New York
Holcroft is a private, 65-acre country estate on the Hudson River in Columbia County that offers old-world charm and elegance, spectacular sunsets over the Hudson and the Catskill Mountains, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend a weekend, a week, or more in a secluded and country mansion relaxing with family and friends.
Accommodations provide Master en suite, guest en suite, and two bedrooms share a full bath. Additional rooms upon request.
Kitchen with gas range, and views of the Hudson River; pantry with dishwasher, washer/dryer. Large, 800 square foot drawing room with period furniture and portraits plus a fireplace, and formal dining room with seating for 10.
Porch with marble table and outdoor shaded seating for 10, plus incomparable views of ocean-going and smaller watercraft on the ever-changing tidal currents of the Hudson River. In-ground, fenced pool with views of the Hudson and Catskills. Expansive lawns for croquet, frisbee, wiffle ball, and other outdoor pursuits. Professionally landscaped gardens throughout the property, walking paths to explore, including the mile-long driveway.
The property and house are absolutely gorgeous, and the history in the house is amazing. The owner and groundskeeper were also extremely generous and pleasant; went out of their way to make us comfortable with our infant daughter!
Our family stayed for three weeks in the summer—me, my husband, and our three children (7,4,2)—and had such a lovely time. The house is beautiful, and with so much history! The home’s library includes many books on historic homes on the Hudson, so you can read more about Holcroft while you are there! It is a special experience. The grounds are incredible. Deer and turkeys in the fields every morning, the pool sparkling and clean each day, plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. The sunsets on the Hudson were my favorite part. Less than 10 minutes to Germantown or Tivoli, 15 to Red Hook and Hudson, 20 (maybe 25?) to Rhinebeck, so perfect location. The home has everything you need. Linens, towels (even pool towels), and a stock of items that makes it feel distinctly like a home and not a rental home. The caretaker for the property is second to none. He takes such great care of everything and provided us with some excellent recommendations. If only every VRBO had a caretaker like him! We are excited to come back to Holcroft and experience it in all of its seasons.
