We love the Owl’s Nest, and this is the second summer we have spent a week there. What we like about it—very private, lovely grounds to walk around in, nice kitchen set-up, and comfortable light-filled living room. Dog-friendly is a A for us, too! The beds are comfortable, with nice linens. It’s not fancy, and you have to drive on some twisty back roads to get there. But it is relatively convenient to Hudson River Valley activities, museums, wineries, and nature spots, and it is just our cup of tea!

We really enjoyed OwlsNest. The quiet, isolated location was just what we wanted. The nearby hiking was great. The house was very comfortable though a few areas needed a little bit of TLC. Hosts provided a nice selection of teas and coffees.

Owl’s Nest, a peaceful getaway

This location is a great retreat surrounded by nature. The screened in porch, hammock, and nearby trails were favorite spots. The interior is well appointed with just about everything for a pleasant stay. Several minor issues were shared after our stay and hopefully will be rectified for future guests.

Cozy spot

Had a great time staying here, beautiful light and spacious for a 2-3 person party. We brought our dog and it was perfect. The roads to the house are very windy, so the property manager let us know ahead of time and that was super helpful ! Would stay there again, for sure

Snowy Weekend

We had a great weekend with a few inches of snow in April but lots of owls flying around. The house was as pictured, though admittedly it was a little chilly inside so had to layer up. Great spot for a quick weekend. Thanks!

Quiet 4th of July

It's nice and quiet. We have a foster dog that is scared of fireworks. There were a couple of fireworks on the 4th. But not much and not too close and they ended early. We did a cookout on the grill and enjoyed the fresh air and the woods.

Cute Private Retreat

The house itself is very cute and the property is beautiful. The location, though we expected it to be somewhat rural, is a bit more of a distance from the main roads than we expected. If you’re looking for privacy and plenty of outdoor space, this is a great place for you! Bring bug spray and keep an eye out for wildlife. The host is great and very communicative and responsive. We would definitely stay at another property managed by Home Sweet Hudson!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Owl’s Nest! We were looking for a remote hideaway with proximity to activities in the region, and this lovely place in the woods fit the bill for us. It is very private, has nice kitchen facilities and a washer/dryer, and is very clean and has lovely interior design. The private path in the woods was perfect for walking our dog, and the honor grocery store down the road provided farm fresh eggs for our breakfast. Be aware that the road to the Owl’s Nest is a bit windy and narrow, but it is worth it when you get there. Check-in was easy, and the host was a prompt communicator. Bonus: sparkling apple cider from a local orchard was waiting on our arrival. We loved this quiet spot and are already thinking about when we can come back!

Clean and private

Spic and span, and as advertised. Property manager was very responsive and pleasant. Lots of wildlife, from frogs to hummingbirds to owls, and what's nice is that it's central enough to a range of Hudson Valley attractions and activities but on a private road with virtually no traffic, so you really her to enjoy the sounds of nature and not the sounds of trucks or motorboats, for example, as one might at slightly "more convenient" locations.

Peaceful Retreat

This little hideaway in the woods, is peacefully nestled away in Marlboro farm and wine country with beautiful hikes right out the front door, but not far from everything. Perfection. A screened in porch, hammock, fire pit somemany glorious window with nature all This little hideaway in the woods is peacefully nestled away in Marlboro farm and wine country with beautiful hikes right out the front door, but not far from everything. Perfection. A screened-in porch, hammock, fire pit, and so many glorious windows with nature all around— this was the blissful retreat I needed. Everything about the house was charming, including the guidebooks included in the stay, the complimentary coffee, tea, and local sparkling apple juice. I was able to bring my pup, who had a ball running around the woods finding new sticks to show us. I cannot recommend this home more.

comfort, trees, and Owls! oh my!

what a lovely space! the interior is smartly designed and decorated, an enclosed porch, cozy seating and bed and loads of quiet... we saw two large owls right outside our window on the very first day of our stay! we loved the beverage alcove for making coffee and tea every morning. we did cook and take advantage of some local fare. don't miss the burgers from Raccoon Saloon, and pizza from Brooklyn Pizza (which also serves mexican food dishes). we shopped for groceries at the Mar-ket. we loved the Ice cream from the local dairy barn Mary Jane's. we were able to get meat and eggs from nearby farm and veggies from a farm stand along the way. we wished we had booked for a longer time and are already trying to decide when we can return. My husband who is a birder lovingly cleaned and refilled the Hummingbird feeder and we were rewarded almost immediately with visits from little birds as well. fyi: entry code was sent through email from Hudson Homes so i missed the connection (vs. searching my email for vrbo) ps. it was too warm to take advantage of the Owl nest trail but definitely for next visit.

Weekend at Owl;’s Nest

We really loved the Owl’s Nest property. Everything was very well thought out. The interior was artistic, tasteful and very comfortable. Throw blankets, pillows, books and games were nice extras. We appreciated all the finer touches like the tile in the bathroom, artwork and the reclaimed barnwood accent wall behind the couch. The kitchen was equipped with every modern convenience-nice utensils, pots and pans and dishes.So nice that the host left a bottle of wine for us and that coffee, tea and spices were supplied! Everything was very clean. Though the bathroom and kitchen were small, all decor and appliances were arranged in a way that gave enough room to move freely. The linens and towels were ample and soft, the mattresses very comfortable. There were motion detector lights that made it easy to enter and exit in the dark. There were definitely a lot of wineries close by (within 5 to 15 minutes) and some nice restaurants within 15 minutes or further out around a half hour. Beacon was about a half hour away and Hyde Park around 45 minutes . A map of the property showed that there were hiking trails basically right outside the door. For us it was a little too buggy to hang outside or hike out in the woods at this time of year, but others might not find it so. The driveway is gravel and was a bit muddy after the rain. If planning to wear heels to a nice restaurant, etc. bring sneakers or low heels and switch out. This is a really pretty, woodsy property with a great two bedroom cottage, a little off the beaten path, with a cozy modern rustic, comfortable interior, privacy and beautiful scenery..A nice relaxing getaway that could include hiking, wineries, dining, Hudson valley towns, historical sights, etc. We would like to come back in the Faal.

Peaceful getaway

We had a beautiful week at the Owl’s Nest. The property is tucked back from the main road and surrounded by nature. We really enjoyed walking the private trail and the nearby longer hike. The home had everything we needed, and then some. Plan ahead for food though— getting out to the grocery store is a pretty lengthy endeavor! We would love to return in the future.

All You'd Ever Want

We arrived at Owl's Nest as record-breaking heat engulfed the East Coast. The house is small, but within an hour you realize everything you'd want to make your stay memorable is right there—from coffee, tea, spices, a new dish sponge to the gift of a bottle of wine. The layout is so well thought through that none of us got in each other's way, not even the pup. It was a true pleasure to kick back, cook, shower (amazing!), and sleep there amidst the trees. And questions are answered promptly. The heat didn't dent our enthusiasm for Owl's Nest at all!
