What an absolutely wonderful stay! This large, perfectly secluded and private location was ideal for our family reunion, and was a brilliant home base for a magical weekend. We took in music at Tanglewood (Yo-Yo Ma), dined out nearby in Hudson and Great Barrington, and attended track days at Lime Rock Park. While we packed our many usual household items along we needn't have at all, as the kitchen, pantry, and linen closets were remarkably well stocked for a comfortable, cozy, home-like stay. The comfortable living room, upstairs library, modern A/C units, Sonos speakers and ample washer/dryer were a hit with the adults, while the basement play area (complete with magna-tiles, children's reading nook and pool table) was great for the kids. We dined both indoors and out, with the patio lounge/dining area particularly enjoyable for watching the sunset.
Whenever there were questions, Derek (host) was quick to offer a hand. This property made for a memorable summer stay, and we look forward to returning to Hillsdale.
I stayed here for a week with my extended family, including two small kids, and we had a wonderful time. The property is absolutely gorgeous - we enjoyed the view of the pond, the summer sunsets, and all the wildlife. We spent a lot of time eating on the back deck and making s'mores at the firepit. My kids had a great time playing in the downstairs playroom, on the trampoline, and on the swingset. The house is clean and organized and very comfortable. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. First of all, in addition to providing a lovely getaway to adults, with a lovely master Bedroom and bathroom, it is extremely family friendly woth a playroom, a swingset and a trampoline. It is also well located near many things to say and do and his midway between Hudson and great Barrington.
Property was amazing especially during this time of year. More importantly, the house and property were kid friendly and had my kids entertained the whole stay! Perfect getaway experience with a beautiful vibrant town nearby. Highly recommend
If youre looking for a spacious upstate getaway, look no further. This property is beautiful and secluded, but also very close to shopping areas and gorgeous small towns. The house is veryyyy clean and gorgeous all around. Derek and Sue are extremely helpful and really gave lots of info on the area as well as things to do and other recommendations. I will definately be interested in staying here again. Couldnt have been any better
Derek and Sue’s house is beautiful, spacious and clean! My fiancé and I hosted our siblings there for a weekend, and we had an absolute blast! Although Derek and Sue provided an incredibly detailed list of things to do, restaurants, bars, etc...we found ourselves never wanting to leave the house! It felt “homey” while still feeling like we were on vacation. Wonderful spaces on the main floor and downstairs for gathering bigger groups. It’s a little farther outside of Hudson than we anticipated, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the area! Derek was extremely helpful throughout the process! We would definitely recommend a stay there and would love to return...maybe in the warmer months next time so we can make the most of their great deck and fire pit! Thanks Derek and Sue!
Had a lovely stay here with three other couples in early fall. House was very spacious, clean, and well-appointed, kitchen was great for cooking, and the outdoor space was wonderful, especially the fire pit at night. Located a 10-15 minute drive from the town of Hillsdale, which has a supermarket and other shops, and about 20 minutes from Hudson, with lots of options for eating, shopping, etc. Climate control inside was also very modern - would highly recommend for a getaway during any season.
Open expansive grounds, but still nicely secluded!
A perfect place for a relaxing few days. Spacious, clean and comfortable accommodation inside, looking out over a field, meadow, woodlands... and a pond with many frogs. Large deck for outside dining and a great outdoor fire cauldron beyond that. Separate comfortable bedroom areas on all three floors. Owners Derek and Sue are very friendly, helpful and accommodating.
Best to have a car at your disposal, to enjoy all the nice countryside around, including the Hudson River to the west. Many farms are open to the public to the north, like Love Apple, along with ART OMI, where you hike for miles among amazing outside artwork. There are key art sites to the south as well - Fredric Church's Olana house, wonderfully preserved from the 19th century, and across the Rip Van Winkle bridge (well worth walking on for the fabulous views) there's the Frank Church site.
A few miles to the east there's a brilliant farm-to-table restaurant, in Philmont - Local 111. They give a cheerful welcome to all, including babies, and have lots of creative and delicious menu selections, that bring out the best flavors that come with fresh food. It's relatively small, so best to make a reservation! Philmont also has a fun short waterfall hike nearby.
We all highly recommend this home for a small gathering of family and friends. There's plenty of room and ways to relax just around the home itself, and lots of great places to go that are less than half an hour's drive away. We hope to return soon!
This property was amazing!!! Every bit as beautiful, clean, and spacious as the pictures on the site (if not more!). The home and the grounds were lovely and inviting. The owners were welcoming, accommodating, and extremely easy to communicate with. We enjoyed the gourmet kitchen, family game time, the outdoor fire pit, the spacious deck , and a quick hike to the High Falls. Easy access to the highway and ,local gas, grocery, and restaurants. Would definitely rent again!
I rented this property for a family visit upstate this summer and was delighted by how capacious and well-equipped it turned out to be. Upon initial approach, the property appears tidy and unassuming. But the house's simple facade belies the space within—soaring cathedral main room upon entry, the kind of kitchen we all just wanted to congregate in, open but private backyard, bedrooms upon bedrooms. There was just so much more space than I anticipated, all of it comfortable. Nice linens, tasteful furniture, the kind of blond paneling that glows in the ample sunlight. We enjoyed a couple of those endless summer nights around the firepit while thunderheads and moonlight played off one another in the expansive sky above the property. Down below, lightenbugs hold court. It was heavenly, and our daughter delighted in the well-equipped playroom. Proximity to Hillsdale, Ghent, and Hudson make it ideal for weekend travellers. I want to experience it in winter next time—that fireplace in the big main room must be dreamy.

Lovely April stay near Hudson
Our group of 6 really enjoyed calling this Rustic chic property our home for a few days in April. The owners made us feel the warmth of their hospitality right off the bat with a welcoming gift of local chocolates and wine. The house was very clean, felt spacious. There was ample cookware and kitchen odds and ends, and the bathrooms were well stocked with very nice organic shampoo/conditioner/body wash. The property was gorgeous, we really enjoyed sitting around a roaring campfire to the soothing sounds of peepers by the pond. And it was great to be within about 20min of cool hikes and lots of great restaurants and breweries.
