Charming ranch w/finished basement/playroom, 15 min from Hudson, 30 min from Great Barrington and Rhinebeck, 2 hrs from NYC. Perfect for families. 4 BRs, 3 bath, sleeps 10. Wide deck, Catskill views, above-ground pool, huge yard, flower gardens everywhere. Perfect Columbia County base. The space Ours is the perfect space for a family holiday or a romantic getaway. The house is spacious, with jaw dropping views of the Catskills from the deck, pool, living room, study, and master bedroom (and the best sunsets you'll ever see). There is a large, open living room/dining room space for gathering, with big picture windows all around to admire the stunning scenery. Flower gardens surround you, and there is an above ground pool attached to the deck - an easy walk from breakfast, lunch, or cocktails, without ever leaving the house. Across the babbling brook in back (we are on 5 acres of land) is a tree swing and hammock. For kids, there is a finished basement/playroom with ping pong table, lots of board games, dolls, and other toys, as well as a large flat screen for showing movies (no TV, sorry!). There are a washer/dryer in the basement, and a well appointed kitchen with new stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and two sinks. Located in the beautiful Hudson Valley (2 hours from Manhattan), we are 15 minutes from Hudson, NY with it's restaurants, galleries, live music, and shopping - but you will feel like you are in the secluded countryside. (We are also 30 minutes from Great Barrington, MA, another fabulous town.) Guest access Guests will be able to access all parts of the house. Other things to note 5 night minimum. Upstairs: 3 bedrooms (now with AC, two with ceiling fan) and 2 bathrooms, as well as a study, open living-dining room space (also with AC), and eat-in kitchen; one more bedroom and bathroom, washer/dryer in the finished basement/playroom.
