Fleischmanns, New York
Nestled amongst spruce, maple and dwarf hemlock trees, our family's 100-year old home is steps away from village stores and cafes, and minutes away from the ski slopes. Our home boasts hardwood floors, mid century furnishings and a modern bathroom with a deep, soaking tub. The Hummingbird has an updated kitchen with new appliances, baseboard heating (two zones) with Nest thermostats, and a high efficiency wood burning stove in the living room. Ample Parking. Washer and dryer in the basement. Plenty of room for storing skis, snowboards and wet gear.
Entering on the first floor from the front porch, you will find a large living room with a picture window, forest green Article sofa and ottoman, a 50" Roku Television, Sonos Speakers for listening to music, a collection of well-loved books for all ages and yes... a credenza full of board games. The dining room seats up to eight around an authentic Saarinen table, and has a lovely Wurlitzer Spinet Piano that is in tune (please do not rest any drinks on the piano). One bedroom with a queen bed and a large closet is on the first floor as is a small 1/2 bathroom with a toilet and sink. The Hummingbird's kitchen is painted a cheerful yellow and is equipped with an electric stove, new refrigerator, new dishwasher and ample cabinets containing dining setups for eight and a collection of pots, pans and other tools for cooking. The spices are all fresh.
There are three bedrooms upstairs: a child's bedroom with twin bunk beds, a front bedroom with a full-sized bed with a large closet, and the master bedroom with a queen-sized bed and a large closet. The bathroom's best feature, by far, is the deep soaking tub that makes for very enjoyable warm baths after cold days in the snow.
This is a family friendly property.
We love our home. We hope you do too.
This place exceeded my expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. Located in the middle of town, short walk to the library, coffee shops and the grocery store. And there is a cell signal (not super strong but it’s there). Wifi more than meet our needs, we had no problems streaming shows. Kitchen has everything we needed to prepare our meals. Beds were very comfortable. We were lucky to be there for a festival on Sunday. We loved the area, was about a 35 min drive to Woodstock. The place was nicely furnished and had a homey feel to it. Nice place to come back to and relax. I would love to come back when I am ever in the area.
