Hawthorne is a renovated 1920s farmhouse set on 11 acres of pastoral fields, forest and pond, featuring stylish, comfortable, art-filled white and green rooms. Take in the view from the sun porch, nap on the big L-shaped sofa, share cocktails in the field overlooking the valley, and cozy up by the fieldstone fireplace at night. A fully equipped house, with Watson Kennedy goods throughout. Professional design, high quality kitchen equipment and accoutrement, linens, blankets and comforters, with Malin+Goetz & Molton Brown supplies make this your luxe country getaway. Now with unlimited WiFi.
The perfect getaway for one to three couples, Hawthorne offers multiple rooms and lots of space for maximum relaxation and taking in the country.

>> Cozy up with a book by the fieldstone fireplace in the fully screened back porch (with glass panels in Fall and Winter).
>> Share sunset cocktails in the Adirondack chairs up in the field overlooking the valley.
>> Cook in the well-equipped kitchen.

You will be the only guests in the house, with no one else on-site. Lots of hiking in the
valley and nearby conservancy areas, biking on country roads, cross-country, downhill or
snowshoe during the snowy months, or take in all the antique shops and history year-round.
This peaceful property is minutes from the Hawthorne Valley Farm store, 20 minutes to the world-class food and vintage mecca of Hudson, and 30 minutes from the culture and history of Tanglewood, Jacobs PIllow and the Berkshires. For recreation there is hiking in the valley and nearby conservancy areas, biking on country roads, or cross-country, downhill or snowshoeing during the snowy months.
Hawthorne is a 2-hour drive from NYC or a 2-hour Amtrak ride from Penn Station to Hudson, and then a 20 minute drive by car or taxi. The house is conveniently close to the Taconic Parkway, while set in a peaceful and quiet valley.
