Come stay in a 200 year-old farmhouse in the Mid-Hudson Valley. Great access to area hiking and outdoor activities including the Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, Bear Mountain, HV Wine Trail and more. 20 minutes from Beacon station on the Metro-North Hudson Line, 20 minutes from Skydive the Ranch. The space **To see price per night, be sure to include the total number of guests. Base price is two guests in ONE room (choice of two twin beds or one queen bed). Please inquire about additional guests and rates. Some weekends during September and October are limited to 2 guests only.** My house was originally constructed in 1796, and has been in my family since 1937. It is cozy and charming, a little quirky, with a broad porch on the south side great for morning coffee and evening wine. The setting is rural - the house is on about 22.5 acres, mostly wooded, with broad lawns around the house. As a few guests have suggested I point out, this is a legitimate old farmhouse, not an updated take or fake on an old farmhouse! It's rustic and comfortable, with some historic gems (like original Currier and Ives wall paper on the kitchen level). I do have two indoor cats, so please be aware if you have allergies (or phobias!), this may not be the listing for you. The cats are not allowed in the bedrooms once they have been cleaned and set up for guests, but they are allowed in every other space in the house. Up to 2 guests will share a room, and may select from one of two bedrooms - two twin beds on the east side of the house, or one queen bed on the south side of the house. You may select which room you’d like with me upon booking. 3-4 guests are accommodated in both rooms. The one very large bathroom (bath tub and shower, recently renovated) on the main level is shared with the whole house. Kids 3 and up are definitely welcome (the house has had many over the years!), but I unfortunately don't have accommodations on hand for infants. If you have your own pack'n'play, crib, or other for your infant, I'm happy to host your little one. If you are traveling with an infant or child that you expect to share the room with you, the room with two twin beds is the only one large enough to accommodate a pack'n'play or crib. Due to the burgeoning interest from photographers and filmmakers, I'm happy to arrange photo and film shoot bookings. Please be aware that there is a different price point for this, and we can discuss with your inquiry. Photoshoots and filmmaking are NOT available with instant book. Guest access In addition to the bedroom and bathroom, guests have access to the kitchen, porch, living room, and generous lawns and yard (there is a charcoal Weber grill available for guest use; guests provide own charcoal). If a door is closed, or a curtain drawn, please understand the room is not suitable for guest access. Guests may help themselves to fresh eggs from my hens in season (March thru October). There's generally a bowl full on the kitchen table! I can guarantee organic eggs from daily free-roaming, generally savvy, but sort of grumpy hens. During your stay I live here, and am generally around doing farm-y chores and things on weekends. During the week, I work from my home office. I can offer recommendations to area restaurants, site-seeing, hiking, etc., and am happy to share the history of this wonderful house. My horses are super friendly - they love to be petted and scratched (they're basically like giant golden retrievers), but please don't give them treats without checking with me first. Some things can make them sick. Other things to note ** Note for summer visitors** There are fans in the bedrooms, but there is no AC in the whole house. This is not an issue unless we're in the midst of an August 100F+ heat wave; the house cools off rapidly at night. **Weekday Mon-Fri check-in is limited to 5pm at the earliest, except by special arrangement.** Please verify PRIOR TO BOOKING if you need to check in earlier than 5pm during the work week.
