About this property

rural, serene + sophisticated space

In the country, yet short drives to many of the most quaint Hudson Valley towns. Still, we hear many guests say they have a hard time leaving the space .... so beware!

You can use our sweet-spot as the sleep & cook spot for outdoor sporty adventure or stay and lounge for a serene escape. Plenty of folks come to our barn to sit by the fireplace and write!

The barn was reclaimed and reconfigured from a tumbledown but picturesque outbuilding. The interior was designed, built and furnished by the owners, who live in the farmhouse next door. (See photos for proximity). Lovely open spaces are seamlessly connected with many smaller nooks, which create privacy amidst the flowing open design.

The barn accommodates five guests. There are three queen beds and one pull-out sofa. One queen-sized daybed and the sofa-bed are in the living/fireplace room. The other upstairs bedroom can be closed off. The downstairs bedroom with one queen, provides greater privacy.

Well behaved, quiet dogs (2 max) are allowed and need to noted and paid for when booking. We provide some firewood (enough for 3-4 fires). Beyond that we charge a wood refill fee.

Before booking VRBO will present our "house rules" which you will be asked to agree to before paying. Most importantly for us are noise considerations - for us and our neighbors. No partying or heavy drinking at all. The maximum number of guests is limited to the number entered during the reservation.  The base price is for 2 guests. Lastly, photo, film shoots, or other commercial activity are not permitted unless a negotiated price has been established and paid prior to arrival. Please read the rental agreement as well as the entire description before booking. Thank you and we look forward to having you here!!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Gregg Salisbury

Host profile image
We fell for each other in Minnesota ... then we fell for the Hudson River Valley ... then we .... bought (financed) the property we could afford and turned it into something extraordinary. The process of renovating and "imagining"
the barn into the breathtaking space that it is took five years, countless Craigslist searches and buys, a few disagreements ;) and much work. We are in the process of becoming as energy-efficient as we can afford, which has included the installation of a wood-boiler, mini splits and solar panels.

Why they chose this property

The farmhouse and barn were part of a much larger farm that tended the fields all the way down to the river across the road from us, and the hill pastures behind the home beyond the visible ridgeline. Before that, it was land lived on by the Mahicans, the Algonquian-speaking North American Indian tribe of what is now the upper Hudson River valley.

We are located in a place that truly feels rural yet is close to necessities and luxuries. Gallatin is also a region where you will really begin to feel close to the hills of the Taconic Range and Berkshires.

What makes this property unique

• Tucked in a rural valley, yet accessible to Rhinebeck, Hudson, Red Hook, Chatham, Millerton, and several more, our carefully re-crafted old barn is a serene & beautiful getaway. The barn is a bespoke, one-of-a-kind gorgeous space that at once feels cozy yet bright. It has reclaimed beams and a soaring ceiling. An antique ceramic sink and a centrally-located cylindrical see-through fireplace. The space creates an open, connected feeling while still offering hidden nooks for curling up with a good book. The big windows open to an upward sloping meadow, a veritable bird sanctuary much of the year.
• The barn has a loft with fisher-price toys and a game room with pinball and ping-pong. As a getaway, the vacation can start right away ... and you may not want to leave!
