Summary:
Silver Ridge is a perfectly-sited contemporary mountain lodge, perched high on the hills above Hillsdale, with sweeping views of the Hudson Valley and total privacy. Inside you'll find dramatic architecture, with soaring cathedral ceilings and a stone fireplace that divides two sitting areas to allow comfortable entertaining for groups of family and friends.

The Space:
Four en-suite bedrooms ensure that everyone has their own private bathroom. The chef's kitchen, with hickory cabinets, provides ample space for cooking. The generous wraparound deck is perfect for barbecues or simply enjoying a good book, while Mother Nature provides the background.

Accessibility:
- 3 bedrooms and all living spaces on the 2nd floor
- 1 bedroom and bath on the first floor
- For your convenience, there is an EV charger in the garage.

Guest Access:
You'll have open access to the entire house, deck, and yard. We respect your privacy, so we offer contactless check-in and support by text or phone. Still, we have an office in nearby if you need assistance. Check out our house book for tips. We provide electronic access to the house with a personal guest code. You'll receive the code 24 hours prior to check-in, though your code will only activate at check-in.

The Neighborhood:
Located on the NY/Mass border, convenient to all the Berkshire cultural events and skiing to the East, and, to the West, the exciting ambiance of Hudson's art and music world, shopping and fine restaurants. The perfect location for weekend adventures. The thoughtful addition of the computerized generator guarantees peace of mind no matter what the weather brings.
Hillsdale is at the nexus of the Berkshires and the Hudson Valley, where you'll find everything from gourmet food and coffee shops, to shopping, yoga, and more. You're also close to hiking in Taconic State Park, the Appalachian Trail, swimming and kayaking in nearby lakes, skiing at Catamount and Butternut, biking, horseback riding, arts, music, cultural institutions, and more.

Getting Around:
You'll need a car to get here and get around and the drive will be beautiful! If arriving from NYC, we recommend taking the Taconic to either exit 54 or exit 72 for the best views. Cell service is good at the house but can be inconsistent in the country, so we recommend that you download the region's online maps to your phone before your trip.

Nature & What to pack:
We urge guests to pay close attention when enjoying nature, weather can change quickly and wild animals can be surprising. Because temperatures in the mountains can fluctuate widely, even in the height of summer, we recommend packing sweaters and light, cold-weather gear just in case. Depending on the activities you plan, we recommend packing hiking, running, swimming, horseback riding, and/or running gear. We also recommend that guests consider spraying clothes with Permethrin when walking outside, to help avoid ticks. In winter we recommend guests pack several layers of warm clothing and ensure that their vehicles are ready for potential snowfall. For other clothing, most venues around are very casual.
