The Historic Jesse Buel House in Upstate New York by Staghorn Stays

The original blueprints for this extraordinary home are preserved in the Library of Congress. Designed and built in 1821 by famed agriculturist Jesse Buel, the Jesse Buel House is a remarkable piece of Albany history. Fully restored and thoughtfully renovated in 2012, the property combines nearly two centuries of historic character with the comfort, space, and amenities of a modern luxury retreat.

Outside, guests can enjoy a large, fully fenced private yard designed for relaxing, entertaining, and spending time together. The centerpiece is the heated, lagoon-style swimming pool, complemented by a hot tub, outdoor gathering areas, café lighting, and plenty of room to enjoy warm days and evenings outdoors.

Inside, the home offers generous living and entertaining spaces, multiple fireplaces, a billiards area, beautifully restored architectural details, and comfortable gathering spaces throughout. The scale of the house makes it ideal for families, groups of friends, wedding parties, reunions, retreats, and other special stays where everyone wants to be together without feeling crowded.

Located in the heart of New York’s Capital Region, the Jesse Buel House offers the rare opportunity to stay in a historically significant home while enjoying resort-style amenities just minutes from downtown Albany, restaurants, entertainment, universities, and many of the region’s attractions.
