About this property
Charming 2 Bed backyard guesthouse close to Peekskill, WestPoint, & trails.
Newly remodeled 2 bed/1 bath backyard guesthouse with a patio, small porch, and yard. It includes a patio table that gets lots of sun (umbrella included), a small play area for young children, and a full-sized picnic table in the yard that sits under some trees.
Two TVs with Prime, HBO max, Disney, and Netflix, as well as games, books, and puzzles for your enjoyment. Close to Peekskill, West Point, Bear Mtn, Harriman, Appalachian Trail, & Hudson & Croton Rivers.
The Cottage is a separate dwelling that sits in our backyard in a residential neighborhood that is in a suburb of the greater NYC area. Living on the property enables us to quickly manage issues that may arise and try to make ourselves available for any questions about the area, etc. To allow our guests as much privacy as possible, a privacy wall was added.
Please be aware that we have a poochon who likes to let guests know that he is there. Although we keep him on a leash or in a gated area, at times he has gotten out. He's very friendly with kids, and kids typically love him.
Also, one of our neighbor's chicks grew into a rooster. We have no control over the animals of our neighbors. To counter the noise he might make while guests are trying to sleep (and to help promote sleep for our guests), each bedroom has a white noise machine or fan that should drown out the majority of any noise. If you are very sensitive to noise, however, please consider bringing earplugs.

About the host
Hosted by Patricia Sayre
My husband and I co-host this property. When we aren't hosting guests, we enjoy taking hikes or canoeing in the area.
Why they chose this property
This property is maintained throughout the year and comes with a well-equipped kitchen. Easy drive to bucolic settings offering hiking trails, rivers, marshes, and local sites such as West Point, The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze, Boscobel, The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, Van Cortlandville Manor, and The Appalachian Trail. The City of Peekskill is less than 1 mile away, and the Peekskill Riverfront park/train station is approximately 2 miles away.
What makes this property unique
This area has numerous things for you to do throughout the year, such as golfing at one of the local public golf courses, and horseback riding on one of the local trails (see NYS parks guide for a listing of horse-approved trails). Other options include skiing, golfing, seeing a show or game, or taking a tour of West Point.
