Explore the historic Hudson River Valley from this light-filled, 175-year-old farmhouse in a picturesque valley surrounded by rolling farmland. Built in 1848, and renovated in 2020-2021. You will experience a cozy country retreat with all the luxuries of a renovated kitchen, pot-bellied woodstove for homey winter nights, propane grill and a fire pit for summer evenings enjoying the fresh air and starry skies.
A few things to note about this unique home:
-The upstairs is accessed by two stairwells. The main stairwell will lead you to all the rooms- bathroom, both bedrooms and office space/reading room. The second stairwell will lead you directly to the master bedroom. Please note that both stairwells are a bit steep, just be sure to use the railings on your way up and down! Both stairwells are equipped with child gates for our young guests' safety.
-The doorway ceilings upstairs are a bit low, though we have marked them with signs, please be sure to duck when walking into the rooms!
-As the home is nearing two centuries, you may find the floors are creaky and settled. No fear, just be cautious with little ones running through the house.
-Please note, the upstairs King and Queen bedrooms both have window A/C units to help maintain a cool temp of the home during the summer. It is suggested to leave the doors to the bedrooms open during the day to help cool the lower level.
-This home is in the country, please understand that nature is unpredictable and uncontrollable. There will be bugs and moths outside.
When the farmhouse was built in 1848, the town of Gallatinville was a bustling stop on the Rhinebeck and Connecticut railroads with hotels, shops and a meeting hall. Today, the house sits across the street from the former Mill house and a short walk down the hill to the former train station. Gallatinville is a quiet enclave with a handful of houses surrounded by open farmland. The towns of the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires are only a short drive away for antiquing, shopping, and dining. There are hiking trails, and the Taghkanic State Park has a beach lakefront for swimming, boating, and water sports of all kinds.
Self check-in with keypad on back porch door. Parking in the driveway, with a walkway around to the back entry.
On the recently updated main level, you will find a large farm style dining room table with ample space. A sitting room with pot bellied wood stove for intimate evening ambiance. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans, silverware, and dishes. We even have coffee and tea stocked for your stay!
