The space
These are two houses that were connected towards the end of the 1800s. The original farm house stands on a 24" thick stone foundation built in 1874. The smaller house was meticulously moved and attached to the rear of the original house to create even more space.

The house maintains so many original details and the deep character that old homes have.
Guest access
You'll be able to access the whole home except the basement and attic.
Other things to note
This home is absolutely a pleasure to spend time in however, it should be noted, that like most homes of this age, there are a few quirks.

I bought the house a bit more than two years ago. When I bought it, there was old wallpaper on the walls and 100 years of junk through the house. Since then, I've stripped wall paper, refinished the walls and painted the rooms. A lot of the things I found in the house were re-purposed or put on display. I've had a great time making many improvements however, the house will always be an old home and it has some rough edges. This would include things like floors that are smooth but not yet refinished and some areas with linoleum floors. If you have any concerns or questions about staying in a house of this age, please reach out to me before you book; I'll be happy to answer any questions.

The house is large, furnished with nice beds, clean linens, wifi, towels, a large TV and many other things. It's on 2+ acres within walking distance of Minnewaska State Park and less than a mile from Tillson Lake.

I want you to enjoy your stay, so please don't hesitate to reach out about any questions.
