Historic 4 BR Family Home Near Buttermilk Falls & Hudson River, on 5 Acres
This historic upstate New York family home was lovingly restored by 4th generation owners. Once a 1790 Stagecoach Stop, this 4 BR home is now the perfect stay for guests visiting Buttermilk Falls Resort & Spa, coming for a wedding in the Hudson Valley, or exploring local agritourism.
Our home is a duplex that sits on 5 wooded acres, and the other side of the home is also available for rent on VRBO. Guests have access to the entire side of the duplex, as well as the grounds.
THE SPACE Although the home is bright and recently renovated, it stays true to its Coach House history. Enjoy our large kitchen, a dining table for 10, a comfortable living room, and bright sunroom.
Upstairs are 4 bedrooms with queen beds and two newly-remodeled bathrooms. A dressing room with makeup table for 3 (perfect for multiple people getting ready at once) is also on the 2nd floor. *Note this means there are no bedrooms or bathrooms on the ground floor* Laundry is not available for guest use.
An air mattress is available for guest use in the living room. All four bedrooms feature a queen bed, a closet and/or dresser, end tables with lamps and charging ports, ceiling fans, and additional portable fans. The 4 TVs are equipped with Roku Guest Mode, meaning you can sign in to all of your own streaming services at check-in, and you'll be automatically logged out of all your accounts on the day of check-out. You'll access the home at check-in using a coded deadbolt and a 4-digit code supplied the morning of check-in.
Be sure to check out the other half of the duplex as well. When rented together they offer sleeping up to 12!
THE PROPERTY The home, situated on 5 acres, is located directly across the street from Buttermilk Falls Resort & Spa, Henry's at the Farm Restaurant, and the beautiful Hudson River. The front of the property is less than 20 feet from the entrance to Buttermilk Falls. Walking distance is an understatement!
In the summer, fresh blueberries grow on the bush outside! In the spring and fall, guests are welcome to sit around the fire pit on the Adirondack chairs -- each side of the duplex has its own firepit.
In addition to our proximity to Buttermilk Falls Spa & Resort, the home is located less than 10 minute's drive to Walkway Over The Hudson, Locust Grove Brewery & Pick-Your-Own Farm, Downtown Poughkeepsie, Ship Lantern Inn, more than a half-dozen wineries and distilleries, and lots of great eateries.
It's less than an hour's drive from West Point, Historic Beacon Main Street, Mohonk Mountain House, Wildflower Farms, Roosevelt Mansion, Hyde Park, Vanderbilt Mansion, Minnewaska State Park, Culinary Institute of America, Vassar College, Marist College, and so much more!
We're located 80 miles north of New York City and 80 miles south of Albany, NY.
PETS: We allow one dog per stay for a nightly fee. All dogs must be 1) house-trained, with NO history of indoor accidents. We reserve the right to charge cleaning fees as high as $250 for pet-related stains, and 2) well-behaved. If your dog is going to bark and howl when you leave it at the house, do not bring it with you. The guests on the other side of the duplex do not want to have to listen to your dog bark for hours on end, and we will ask you to either not leave the dog alone or leave the property early if your dog continues to bark. Please pick up after your dog. No pets other than dogs (cats, birds, rodents, etc.)

The Check in process was simple. The house was clean and had multiple areas for socializing. The host checked in with us to make sure everything thing was good with our stay. We also enjoyed the dining room that accommodated the six of us on the trip.

We are so glad that you enjoyed our home and your time in Milton. Please come again!
We had a wonderful stay! The home was comfortable and enjoyable. The only downside was no bathroom on the first floor. I would highly recommend staying here.

Thanks for staying with us! Glad you enjoyed your time at our home.
This property is beautiful. We came with family for a wedding. We enjoyed hanging out in the spacious living area and on the deck. Beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were nicely updated

So glad you enjoyed your stay with us while you attended a wedding in Milton! You're welcome back any time.
We enjoyed our stay very much! Our group visited the Jehovah's Witnesses Bethel facilities. The home was nice and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed. There is a nice grocery store about five minutes away too. We would definitely book with them again!

Thanks for staying! We have a LOT of JW families stay with us as they visit the Bethel facilities. Glad you enjoyed your time in our home.
We chose to stay at this property while attending a wedding at Buttermilk Falls Inn. The space was perfect and the location could not have been better. It's well stocked and has a nice getting-ready area with great lighting.

Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving week reunion at this beautiful property. We chose to rent both sections and that was the best idea for the amount of people that we had this home is centrally located very clean, and incredibly charming. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely, and we look forward to returning in the future.

Thanks so much for your kind review! We really appreciate you staying with us, and hope to have you back some day.
We were very comfortable. The house was charming and felt very clean. And the location was perfectly located for visiting Warwick, Wallkill, and Patterson.The kitchen had everything we needed and the dishwasher was a great bonus. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The large dining table fit the 7 of us perfectly. We appreciated the 2 bathrooms.We had "neighbors" staying in "Side B" during our stay at "Side A", but there were no issues.A clothes washer and dryer would have been nice. But overall we had a great time and would stay again!

Hey Autumn, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay while visiting the Jehovah's Witness facilities nearby. And yes, we are actively working on getting laundry into the home! Hopefully it'll be installed by the time you come and stay with us again :)
The location was perfect for our guests attending a wedding at Buttermilk Falls. Communication was quickly responded to by the host and they accommodated our two requests. The house was clean and comfortable.The only negative I could see, which did not apply to our group, was the property had a couple step up or downs into rooms and the stairs to the second floor were narrow. So if someone has difficulty walking or climbing stairs, this may not be the house for them.

Thanks for staying with us! We're so glad you enjoyed your time at our home near Buttermilk Falls Inn. And we agree with your assessment -- unfortunately it's not the most accessible home for those to whom stairs pose a challenge.
We enjoyed our stay at this house. It’s very old and therefore has some sloping in a few floors but overall I was very impressed. Clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The makeup room was our favorite! With 5 girls in the house, it made getting ready so easy! We lost power in that room one morning due to a breaker but when I contacted the manager he sent someone out right away to fix it. Great communication from the manager whenever I had a question. Would definitely stay here again.
fix it.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Cute place with lots of space. Location is great. Second unit has access to your unit which we felt quite uncomfortable about. There should be a deadbolt lock on the outside of that door so you feel secure that nobody can walk into your unit. There is a baby gate with a lock and a room divider to separate them. There is a door but it does not have a lock on your side. If we knew this prior we wouldn’t have booked this unit. Air mattress for living room does not hold air, so our 2 kids slept on the couch.

It is ridiculous and very misleading to say that the other unit has access to your space -- that's just not true at all, and if you had just asked us during your stay we could have told you that the door on the other side has a deadbolt with key that only we have. It's a duplex. Of course you can't just walk in on each other during your stay! And this is also the first we've heard about the air mattress, but now that we know, we can replace it.
Hi Theo, it's hard to address your concerns with a 4-star review and no comments, but we appreciate you taking the time to review us, I guess *shrug emoji*
Thanks so much for the great review—I'm glad you had a wonderful stay!
About the host
Hosted by Hunter Sheldon
Hi, I'm Hunter, and I'll be your host during your stay at our VRBO in Milton! I live in Virginia, but I help my parents manage this home that's been in our family for 4+ generations!
Although this property is technically new to VRBO, it's been on the other homestay site (you know... the one that starts with "Air" and ends with "BnB") for 5+ years! It has an average rating of ~4.7 stars across 150+ reviews, so have no fears about this "new" property. Guests love staying at our little slice of small-town rural escape :)
