This house is in a beautiful location with gorgeous views from every window! The host was very responsive to the couple of questions we had. The house was very clean and had every amenity we could have asked for. Bedding was soft/comfy and there were plenty of towels, etc. We spent an afternoon in Rhinebeck, which was less than 30 minutes away; highly recommend checking out the beautiful Beekman Arms Inn. I would definitely stay at this wonderful mountain top destination again and recommend this host!

Bright and airy house in the woods.

Beautiful spot. Perfect for a multigenerational stay. A relaxing, well equipped house for our 14 day getaway. Limited grounds at the house, but centrally located to many activities and restaurants. We appreciated how quickly Amelia responded to all communication and ensured a fantastic experience.

Thanks for your very kind review. Glad you were able to enjoy the house - the layout does indeed allow for different families (or generations, in your case) to come together but still have privacy and separation with the bedrooms and en suite bathrooms spread out over the 3 floors.

Perfect getaway location

A group of 6 of us have been meeting centrally in the Hudson Valley to enjoy a long weekend together for a decade and Amelia's place is perfect for us! The rooms feel cozy without being claustrophobic, there's plenty of space for hanging out, and the kitchen is stocked with all the pots and pans you need to prep up a feast after a day of raucous laughter.

About the host

Hosted by Amelia

Host profile image
I live in NYC and love to escape upstate to the Hudson Valley. It is a beautiful area, and the perfect distance to make weekend getaways from the city.

Why they chose this property

The Hudson Valley is simply spectacular. Close to NYC, but scenic and rural, the towns in the area all have their own unique charm, which allows an escape from the large, chains stores now ubiquitous in NYC. It is one of my favorite areas to explore and relax. There is always a new experience awaiting.

What makes this property unique

The house is located about 5 minutes from Lake Taghkanic state park, which has 2 beaches (one with a concession stand) and great hiking trails, one of which circles the lake for about six miles. Boating and kayaking can also be done on the lake.

15 minutes from the house is the city of Hudson, which has dozens of antique shops, bookstores, art galleries, cafes & restaurants, and a couple of movie theatres. Warren street is the highlight.

Also about 15 minutes away is Frederic Church's estate, Olana, which has beautiful views of the Hudson and the Catskills, gardens, and a museum of his home.

Also about 15 minutes away in Ghent, NY, is the Fields Sculpture Park at the OMI International Arts Center with internationally recognized contemporary sculpture thoughtfully curated over 100 acres of farmland.

About 20-25 minutes away are Red Hook and Tivoli, which both have local shops and restaurants, and are close to Bard College, where the Fisher Performing Arts Center is located. 25 minutes away is Rhinebeck (5 minutes past Red Hook on Route 9), which has excellent restaurants, shops, a farmer's market on Saturdays, as well as local artists, and an art house movie theatre.

Directly across the river are Catskill, and the Catskill mountains with incredible hiking trails, and Woodstock.

If you like classical music, Tanglewood, the summer venue for the Boston Symphony Orchestra is about 40 miles away. It is a favorite for the cheap lawn tickets to outdoor concerts on summer nights. Well worth the drive.
