About this property
Quaint, 102 year old bungalow nestled in woods-close to amenities.
As part of our 68 acre homestead, The Gift Bungalow has been our labor of love for the past 3 years. Offering guests the feeling of a rustic, country get-a-way while being close to many amenities and activities. Just 2.5 miles from the village of Clinton, NY and less than a 10 minute drive to Hamilton College, our historic 1921 guest house is a step back in time with all the comforts of home. Beautifully decorated and featuring hard-wood floors, period furniture, new state-of-the-art appliances, cascading natural light in every room and flourishing landscaping-this charming homestead is a dream come true for those struck with wanderlust. Curl up with a hot coffee on the front porch and watch the world awaken around you...

About the host
Hosted by Mary and Kevin Hilsinger
We both have lived in the area for more than 12 years and have always loved the village: there's a beautiful historical park in the center of town surrounded by a wide variety of shops-many have been operating for many years. One of our favorite places to visit in the fall is Clinton Cider Mill: the donuts are amazing (made daily throughout the day) We live in the ranch next door with our two fur babies. 4 of our 5 children live locally along with one grandchild so we are blessed to be able to spend time with them!
We were intrigued to find out that the property belonged to a family for close to 200 years-the Bungalow is 102 years old and there other home on the property is over 55 years old. During the early 1900's, a local Trolley ran for over 30 years about 100 ft in front of the Bungalow. The line ran between Clinton, New Hartford and Utica.
There's also an old barn with a fairy large meadow that we garden on each Summer-it's been a true learning curve but so worth it: there's nothing like picking your own veggies and flowers! The remainder of the property is wooded. There are several old trails that were here when we purchased the property back in 2019 --we are hopeful to make them available for guests to enjoy: its beautiful up there!
During our first tour of the property, we fell in love with Bungalow-we knew immediately that it would be a perfect guest house: the charm and character were the shinning stars despite needing a total rehab.
We invite you to stay and enjoy our little piece of paradise ....
