The main portion of the Manor house is not accessible to guests, however the east wing is 2350 square feet of living space for you to enjoy. There is not a kitchen within this space, however you will not need it as Dutchess County is home to the Culinary Institute of America and offers the finest restaurants in the world and many are a short drive away. Uber eats and Door dash are also available. There is a full refrigerator, microwave and toaster oven in the space along with a coffee bar.
The Castella Family are Hudson Valley Natives for 7 generations. Jennifer, Frankie III, and Frank Jr, open their historic home for guests to enjoy. Collins Estate is a creekside 1840 Greek revival with hardwood floors, a country setting, barns, refinished amenities and a picturesque property. To appreciate this home, you should know the manor house required an encampment of 60 men and 3 years to construct and is evidenced by great detail.
We do require that the person who books is present during the stay unless pre-approved.
Your space is completely separate and private from ours with locked doors in between the two sections of the home. However, we do live in the main Manor house and we are always available to answer questions and assist our guests when possible. But we offer our guests complete privacy and do not enter their space unless requested to. For most guests we do not see nor interact with them as the spaces are separated like an apartment building.
Walk the grounds and enjoy the private porch seating. There is central air and split unit air conditioning. Also, there is a refrigerator, microwave and toaster oven.
For the safety of our guests, we do have security cameras on the outside grounds.
Guests with under 5 reviews, a star rating less than four or last review will be asked to send an additional $500 security deposit through AirBnB. This is fully refundable at checkout should the space be left as it was found.
