The Space:

The anticipation mounts as one cruises the country roads heading for Milan Hill. Well-maintained old farmhouses and pastoral vistas line the route until turning up the long private driveway where the muted red house eventually comes into view. It’s not immediately evident that the house is an A Frame. The tall gabled section has a perpendicular addition that accommodates a gracious foyer, as well as the master suite, which features king bed and a modern glass-enclosed shower.



Moving down the hall two guest bedrooms, one on either side of the hallway, include comfy queen beds, and they share the second full bathroom, which has also been renovated with modern fixtures, and includes a tub/shower.



Then into the heart of the house where the A Frame style, with its soaring ceiling, becomes evident. The open plan space is flooded with natural light emanating from the west-facing wall of windows at the far end. Whitewashed with a light pickled wood floor, the ambience is bright and airy, while the contemporary Scandinavian style with personal flourishes makes the house feel like a home.



The fireplace is a focal point, with built-in wood storage adding a rustic vibe to the otherwise almost beachy space. Cozy up on the sectional before a roaring fire and dive into movies or shows on numerous streaming services, or just powwow with your crew. There are lots of books, board games and puzzles for all ages. This is Lounge Central.



Then there are those for whom time off means the luxury of preparing a feast. And this kitchen is wonderfully appointed and efficiently laid out, with loads of counter space, storage and culinary accoutrements. And best thing, it’s open to the living room, so the cook can remain part of the conversation. A wonderful long farmhouse table is the ideal final component in any good Upstate getaway, and this one fits the bill.



Now there is nothing that says that adults won’t adore the twin bedroom upstairs, with its own TV and play space, but our younger guests will SO appreciate being separate from the adults in their own part of the house.



There is a sprawling deck outside the living room and it looks out of a wide swath of level lawn with a newly installed 14-ft heated saltwater pool. Lounges, a barbecue and dining table make this a go-to spot in warmer months. Off near the edge of the woods a swing hangs from a great maple, and a firepit ringed with seating is where everyone loves to gather under the stars for stories, laughs and memories.



Milan Hill is centrally-located to a number of fun towns. It’s an easy 13 minutes into buzzing Red Hook and to Rhinebeck, is 35 minutes from skiing at Catamount and is handy to Germantown and Tivoli.

Getting Around:

Milan Hill A-Frame is just over two hours from New York City, and you'll definitely want a car to get there and to explore around the area. For winter visits, we strongly recommend a four wheel drive vehicle. Some roads are difficult to access in inclement weather, and the driveway is long and uphill.

Metro-North Train to Poughkeepsie (30 mins) or Amtrak to Rhinecliff (15 mins) are also accessible.
