Om boendet

This is the perfect place to get away, to be alone or with family and friends, to reflect, write, or simply regain your sanity. The house is at the end of a mile long dirt road, deep in the countryside, with high-speed internet and lots of privacy. Minutes from the Rensselaerville Falls and hiking trails of the E.N. Huyck Preserve.

Dating from the early 19th century, Hickory Hill is country estate and working farm set in the rolling Catskills of upstate New York, 35 minutes west of Albany. There are sweeping lawns, walking trails over 250 acres of woodland, ponds for boating and swimming and a clay tennis court. And high-speed internet when you need to stay connected.

Guests stay in the newer Guest Wing, also in traditional design, with four rooms, two with en suite bath, two with a large shared bath, with full use of a spacious live-in kitchen. There is also an additional South Bedroom Suite in the Family wing that sleeps up to four more. The gracious dining room easily seats 8-10 people, with 12 possible.
Our "Base Price" for this listing is for the entire guest wing, with a private entrance. The space accommodates up to 8 adults plus two children (in a second old-fashioned double).
Pets are welcome by special arrangement. Hosts are fluent in English, German and French.
Guest access includes:
Spacious country kitchen, dining room and terrace. Garden seating, hammock and outdoor grill. Spring fed swimming pond, second lake pond with kayaks and canoe, tennis court and miles of walking trails.

We provide a self-service Continental breakfast.

Other things to note:
In addition to the Library, Conkling Hall, Kuhar's Farm Café and Grist Mill Museum, the famed Palmer House is set to reopen this summer as "Hamlet Provisions" Restaurant and Café. There is also a friendly tavern, The Shell Inn, just outside the village, and several other pleasant restaurants within 20-30 minutes drive (information available in house).

Additional rules
- Events or parties by arrangement
- Dinners available by arrangement
- Families with children are most welcome, and just need to come prepared, taking special care to treat the house with respect. There are plenty of toys, games and books you are welcome to use, as long as children put things away and clean up after themselves. Hickory Hill is a wonderful house for children, but it is neither padded nor bullet proof, so attention is in order.
- We expect guests to be considerate about the amount of trash they leave behind.

Great house for large groups

Beautiful, large, old home, filled with hundreds of antiques, and a story for every one of them, I'm sure. You'd run out of time before you saw all of them. Really comfy beds, lots of bedrooms (some had private sitting rooms) and bathrooms. Nearly private driveway that winds through beautiful mountain scenery. We were there in winter and still saw tons of wild life..the birds! so many. Huge, old kitchen with some comfy chairs an eat in table and breathtaking views. A private bedroom wing, BUT the kitchen is shared by the caretaker or other guests. Our caretaker was delightful and good company, but we didn't realize when we rented that we'd be sharing. Wouldn't make a difference, and we'd definitely go back.it definitely added to the charm. He was very accommodating and helpful. I think it would be clearer if this home was listed as a B&B. Don't let that stop you, it was a fun experience, very close to town, and filled with so much fascinating history. We can't wait to go back in the other seasons.

Om värden

Dardis McNamee är värd

Dardis McNamee is a native New Yorker, journalist, speech writer, and magazine publisher. After moving to Europe in the 1990s, she now spends time each summer at the family farm Hickory Hill in Rensselaerville, Upstate New York. The best of both worlds. She has been hosting guests for nearly a decade.

Varför värden valde detta boende

Hickory Hill was my grandparents' home where we came as children, and later my mother's. Many happy memories, a long family tradition. It is set in the farm country and woodlands of Upstate New York, first settled by the Dutch about the same time as the Puritans were landing in New England. The names of the rivers and villages tell the story: first native Indian, then Dutch and German, followed by English, Irish and Italian. Hickory Hill is just minutes outside the hamlet of Rensselaerville. Unique among the hill towns for its unspoiled charm, it was founded in 1787, along a main street of row houses and summer mansions. Unified by colonial and neo-classical clapboard or brick, most of the houses were built between 1840 and 1880, many by a single architect, Ephraim Russ. Rensselaerville then was a thriving village, the local economy powered by the Huyck Mills felt maker, which in turn was powered by the Ten Mile creek, still rushing noisily through the village. There are currently no stores directly in the hamlet, but a well stocked, vibrant library, two active churches and Conkliing Hall, a theater and community center. We expect the former Palmer House restaurant to re-open for the summer 2024, but there is an very pleasant bar and restaurant, the Shell Inn, less than 10 minutes drive away.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Hickory Hill is a traditional, gracious family home and a small working farm - primarily hay, cattle and timber, apple orchards and some maple syrup. It is the setting for three generations of family life, furnishings and equipment, Wedgwood crockery, patterned flatware the family has accumulated over the years. The south terrace looks out over rolling lawns and perennial gardens. On one side, an outdoor fireplace is built into the stone wall, with comfortable chairs and tables under the shade of old black walnut and hickory trees. Above the gardens, you can have a cool drink in the gracious pavilion to the murmur of the running brook. Behind the horse paddocks, there are trails through about 200 acres of old woodland, taking you past the ponds and beyond. The largest of these is Henderson, a 3.5 acre pond with a boating dock, kayaks and a canoe, and Twin Springs swimming pond with a dock, fed by two mountain sources. There is also a well-maintained clay tennis court, with Adirondack chairs for the spectators.
