and new hardwood floors. Comfortable antique furnishings.

Microwave, washer/dryer, coffee machine,

We greet guests on arrival. I love to take guests on the Hudson & Mohawk Rivers to enjoy the waterfalls and the Erie Canal in our 18' rowing dory made of wood by my father.

Old Sixth Ave Is a mixed neighborhood with a City Pocket Park across the street. It can vary from a quiet peaceful place- usually early in the day- to a
bustling hub of urban social activities centered around socializing on the stoops and the pick up basketball games.

Bus stops are 1&1/2 & 4 blocks away

Bike paths along the Hudson River start 2 blocks away. Locked bike storage available in our Carriage House.

I am a teacher, boatbuilder, designer-builder who has been displaced from the pleasures of the Harbors in Marblehead and Salem, MA and is learning to love the pleasures of the Hudson River.
My co-host and wife of 38 years, Jeannie Steigler, teaches ESL at RPI and is Assistant Director of their Advising and Learning Center. She is also an avid flower gardener which greatly enhances our little city oasis. We met doing design-build projects together.
We offer to pick up our guests who are arriving by plane, train or bus for $20.00-
Substantially less than cab fare - whenever our schedules allow us to do that.
We also will take guests for scenic rowboat rides across the Hudson River to the start of the Erie Canal for an additional $30.00 when weather permits.
