My new husband and I were married in Rhinebeck this October. We have been escaping to the area since the beginning of our relationship and knew that this was the town where we should "tie the knot". Since we are city dwellers we decided to rent a house close by for several days to really enjoy the entire wedding process. We chose Brian and Sarah's home and were so glad we did. From the minute we opened the door we knew that we were in for a treat. The house was sparkling clean, beautifully furnished/laid out and boy what a view from the family room! Windows for miles! The yard was great with plenty of seating and our pup Miles had lots of room to run!! Did I mention that Brian and Sarah left a bottle of champagne for us? This place really does have it all. We cant wait to return for our anniversary!

We very much enjoyed relaxing in Rhinebeck on this President's Day weekend. For a bunch of city folks (NYC) it was such a pleasure to overlook a snowy backyard and not see another house or hear the honking of horns. We very much enjoyed the fireplace, soaking in the hot tub, working up a storm in the well-stocked kitchen, and just enjoying each others company without the bustle of the city. The town was so quaint and offered us some lovely dining choices. Calico was our favorite and Pet's (Famous Pete's) was a great place for breakfast. Our few days here gave us just a small taste for the area and we are already thinking of coming back. Thanking you for this wonderful experience!

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable 4 day weekend here. Lots of reading, leisurely gourmet dinners by Chef Steve, yummy smores made outside in the firepit, resting in the hammock, exploring charming Rhinebeck (the health food storeand nearby bakery are favorites), driving to Hyde Park and The Culinary Institute, hiking at Poet's Walk, watching the dogs enjoy the big backyard and generally just enjoying ourselves immensely. Didn't even turn on the TV once. You have a lovely place - thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home. It served as a beautiful area & gathering for our family (two from California, two from Florida, one from Mass and two from Connecticut). We felt a reflection of love and peace in your home. Have a wonderful New Year!

Thank you so much for opening your home in the woods to visitors. We were here to visit Bard College & Vassar from Dallas, Texas. Our family from Pennsylvania & Massachusetts joined us for the holiday. Ate way too much food ;-). Poet's Walk, FDR Museum, Rhinebeck and the snow enhanced our holiday stay. Favorite restaurant was Luna 61 in Red Hook [Now in Tivoli]. Their bannana cream pie is the best!

Brian & Sarah - thank you for sharing your lovely home. We enjoyed the peaceful setting immensely. We visited Ferncliff Fores, Tivoli, Red Hook, FDR Monument, Vanderbilt Mansion, the CIA, and Burger Hill. We wish we had time to see more but maybe we'll be back again some day! Thanks again!

We had a wonderful week enjoying the Rhinebeck/Red hook area! The first 3 days, with Nicolas, Henry & Owen exploring the woods as well as having an amazing time at Lake Taghkanic were terrific! Marc & Lucas joined us when Faith, Henry & Owen went back to NYC. We continued to explore the area, play baseball in Red Hook, swim in Lake Taghkanic and at Wilcox Park as well as cook some incredible food in your wonderful house!!
