About this property

The Red Hill Retreat - Woods Water History Privacy

A well-appointed, relaxing escape in a manicured woodsy setting with space and privacy. This Croton classic has 3 beds, 3 baths with sprawling open-format family room/kitchen with 70" flat panel TV, Sonos, eat-in kitchen facing the patio & walkway to the outdoor pool and outdoor hot tub (available from May - October only!!). The separate original LR with fireplace has a pull-out for sleepovers. Commutable to the city, and a world away when you get home.

Our home is generously appointed, with original artwork and a well-stocked library for your enjoyment, and all bathrooms have been updated to high standards. For those needing a soak, the seasonal hot tub and pool are available in summertime, and in the off-season a lovely claw foot tub awaits indoors. Also, separate entrances allow for single level living if needed, modern conveniences and country living in comfort, with 2 bedrooms downstairs and one up.

This house is entirely yours when you stay here, with only a couple spaces locked and out of bounds for guests: the basement, a closet and an upstairs office are reserved for the owners' belongings and mechanicals.

Writers, painters, singers, statesmen, dancers, communists and a parade of wild-eyed bon vivants have frequented this street and this very home for over a century – you have big shoes to fill! If you haven’t yet seen the movie “Reds” starring Warren Beatty, you should - much ado about Croton on Hudson, and the protagonists house still stands right around the corner from here.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We enjoyed our stay, the house was very clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. Gary & Elizabeth was very nice and friendly, they responded back in a timely fashion to any questions we had. We would definitely stay at their property again and would recommend others as well.

Barry and Gail were among the best guests we have ever had. They were extremely pleasant to communicate with - about the home as well as just life in general - were wonderfully polite, kept the house immaculate and even left us a jar of homemade pickles with a warm note. There is no doubt that we would welcome them into our home again. Welcomingly, Gary & Elizabeth

We came to Croton-on-Hudson to meet our new granddaughter, and this home was the perfect place for our family to gather and celebrate her arrival. The layout gave us plenty of space to be together, while the pool and outdoor areas were so inviting and gave everyone a chance to relax. The house was spotless, cozy, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. The location was peaceful yet close to everything we needed — truly a wonderful spot for creating family memories

Calming, relaxing, peaceful environment, family oriented

Such a very cozy place to stay. Very private and clean with all the amenities one can need. Gary the property owner was very welcoming and made me and my family feel at home. The property was tastefully decorated located in Croton on Hudson which is a very safe place surrounded by beautiful sceneries. Would definitely come back!

Nancy and her family were ideal guests. Nancy and I spoke often in advance and we even had the luxury of her coming up to the house so I could show her around. The group seemed to appreciate our home and enjoy staying here and that's what makes us happy. We'd love to have them come back.

50th HS reunion weekend

Property was great as was owner. Had one plumbing issue that was corrected same day. Only small issue was difficulty in finding the home. It is tucked into the woods. But once found, all really good.

It was a pleasure and delight coordinating the stay with Suzanne and I would be glad to have her and her friends back again. I’m only sad that they had rain for most of their stay because as Suzanne mentioned, we are back in the woods and the outdoors are so lovely.
