Great stay with great views of Hudson
Lovely home and location. Private and quiet. Home has everything you need and host communicated immediately. Right next to train station but wouldnt know it. House has nice layout. Would stay again. Beds comfy, as well. About 40 mins to West Point and a central location to get to other lovely towns.

Wonderful, wonderful
Exactly as advertised. Very easy to get to by car and train. The house has many spaces for group activities as well as quiet reading/napping areas. The grounds are well maintained and the view is stunning. We had everything we needed for a family getaway. The kitchen is perfect for group cooking. Check in and check out were super easy and our host responded immediately to our questions. We look forward to our next visit.

Breathtaking property and top notch Host
River House is a rare gem and looks even more beautiful in person than in the online listing. The house itself is spacious and well-appointed, has an awesome setup for kids including pool table and music room plus space to romp. The private dock was perfect for us two adults to relax before the wedding ceremony. And the hot tub with a staggering view of the Hudson was a priceless way to finish the day. The Hosts were very invested in us having a dream experience and provided recommendations and accomodations for our unique needs. They were excited for our stay, extremely available and communicative before, during and after our reservation. This went a long way in making sure our visit was dialed in. The house is epic in size, with lots of corners and separate living rooms so everyone can have their own spot to unwind - or to connect. Even when the weather turned rainy, curling up in the scenic sunroom provided stunning views and relaxing comfort. The furniture and linens were comfy and high quality, and everything was sparklingly clean. The house has a lot of thoughtful touches that make staying there feel like home. Can't say enough about this beautiful space. You will definitely have a great experience at River House!

College Reunion and 60th Birthdays Celebration
What a fantastic location for 5 dear friends to catch up and make new memories! River House blows you away with its amazing views, wonderful gathering spaces, well-stocked kitchen and cozy bedrooms. We enjoyed lazy mornings around the spacious kitchen table and evening cocktails watching the sun set over the Hudson River! Close to hiking and Storm King, we really could not have found a better spot for our reunion time together. Thank you so much!

Pictures don’t do it justice - Hidden gem
We are coming back to this magical place. The pictures need to be updated because it is SO much better than what is shown online. The views are absolutely stunning and many of the rooms have Hudson Valley River views. Imagine waking up to bald eagles flying over the river, right by your window. The home is also MUCH larger than what is shown in the pictures. The garden, lawn, new patio, hot tub, fire pit, and huge outdoor umbrellas in the backyard were perfect. Inside the house, there is something for everyone to do. Pool table, piano, drums, tv. The little details were also so thoughtful. From labeling all of the drawers, to having a chef’s stove / oven and large laundry room, to having sun shades on all of the River facing windows. Basically, anything you think you might want, Jean probably has it in the house. We even forgot something at the house and Jean is mailing it back. Wonderful host. We are coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Jean

Host profile image
We are a family that love the outdoors and endless views. We are big hikers and campers and gather often with friends and family. Gratitude, generosity, grace.

Why they chose this property

We are diehard fans of New York City, but after 30 years, we finally found a house that would make us gladly leave Manhattan, with its spectacular views and easy trip from the City. The Riverhouse is our second home and our spiritual retreat. We want to share it with friends, family, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature. We feel very privileged to share this beautiful space!

What makes this property unique

There is something magical about seeing the Hudson River in different lights. It calms the senses and heals the spirit. Watch the trains and ships go by and birds fly and fish jump. Here, techology and nature flow together and you can simply be.

"Eventually all things merge into one and a river runs through it." - Norman Maclean
