Our peaceful, skylit, 3-bed 2-bath lodge is a totally private woodland paradise on a quiet country lane. Part secluded retreat, part rustic resort, part '70s-style cottage, it's only 2 hours from NYC & 20 minutes from Hudson. Unwind in 50 acres of untouched forest & grounds, a seasonal saltwater pool & cabana bar, a Finnish sauna & 7-person hot tub (open year-round), an open chef's kitchen & living room, & a sunny deck overlooking endless natural splendor.

The space
Our charming 1968-built ranch house is tucked at the end of a quiet country lane, but just 10 minutes off the Taconic. It's flooded with natural light and filled with character, including eclectic ‘70s decor paying homage to its groovy original construction but updated for maximum comfort: gigantic old movie posters, antlers and vintage tennis rackets, cow-hide rugs, velvet couches, and natural-wood beams and walls. It’s got three sunny, airy bedrooms, each with a dreamy king or queen bed (one of which has an extra twin trundle) topped with down comforters, surrounded by cozy window seats or bright skylights. The serene main suite has a private bathroom with a skylit shower, two big closets, and a sliding glass door that looks directly onto the pool and opens right onto the sprawling deck.

Our open-plan kitchen and living room include a chef’s kitchen — decked out with a brand-new Viking range, a massive granite kitchen island with an eat-in countertop, and all the tools you need to make a delicious gourmet meal — a crackling wood stove topped with vintage copper pots, an 8-person dining table, cozy chairs and couches and floor pillows to spread out in front of the fire and gaze out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the swaying oak trees and the sparkling stars.

Outside, hike or simply watch wildlife in our 50 acres of secluded forest and grounds. If it's too chilly to work out outside, hop on the exercise bike or tune in to a virtual workout class in our sunny attached yoga studio. Take a dip in our big saltwater pool (open seasonally and unheated — please inquire before booking!), surrounded by a ‘70s-themed cabana bar, a Finnish steam sauna and 7-person hot tub (both open year-round), an outdoor shower, grill, and wooden deck with multiple comfortable seating areas and an 8-person teak dining table. Watch the sunset at the gazebo next to our private pond, or on cold winter nights, snuggle up with some cider and watch the stars while sitting in Adirondack chairs around our fire pit.

If you’d like to work remotely from the property, we get incredible cell service and have high-speed fiber optic wifi (both rare for the area). And there’s plenty of extra space to work from, including a private, detached artist’s studio furnished with a table/desk, roller chair, couch, and a wood-burning stove. There's also an additional desk and several comfy chairs to work from in the bedrooms, kitchen, and living room.

The main house has central AC and heating — plus heating inside the artist’s studio and yoga studio — and there’s a one-car garage and plenty of additional space for parking, plus a brand new washer and dryer and soft linens. If you feel like cozying up at home, we’ve got high-speed fiber optic wifi and a smart TV, board games, bocce and puzzles, and a piano and a guitar for when those moments of artistic inspiration strike you. But there's also so much to do outside of our walls and all around the Hudson Valley, which is both a peaceful, natural escape and a charming confluence of restaurants and shops.

Guest access
You have private access to the entire home and all of its external buildings: the pool and poolhouse, the sauna, the hot tub, the yoga studio, the artist's studio, the gazebo and pond, the garage, and the 50 acres of woods. (We only lock the unfinished basement.)
