The space
Originally built in the 1860s by Cornelius Vanderbilt as a hotel for railway travelers, this 6000 SF Victorian-Era house has been renovated & reimagined as a boutique getaway and event space featuring a blend of vintage & organic design elements.

Kitchen access and/or optional in-house catering is available; ask us about adding on a private dinner, cocktail party or larger event during your stay!

While the house sits prominently along Main Street in a quiet Hudson Valley village under 8 miles East of Hudson, tucked behind the house & hidden from passersby is an expansive, private backyard with an oversized deck overlooking mature maples, evergreens, wildflowers and over 500 feet of lake frontage. Help yourself to our canoe, yard games, charcoal grill & firewood for your own lakeside fire pit.

Please note, there is no swimming in the lake, but plenty of swimming options nearby.

Guest access
All bedrooms are located up one flight of stairs. There is a van accessible parking space, and a wheelchair accessible ramp for entry to the house and the outdoor deck; there is one designated accessible bathroom on the main floor in addition to 2 other bathrooms; guest bedrooms are all located up one flight of stairs and there is no elevator. Each guest bedroom has a full private bathroom; one bedroom has a tiled step in shower rather than a bathtub/shower combo; one bedroom requires one step down to access bathroom.

Neighborhood highlights

Take a stroll over to The Philmont Co-op & food truck, or McNan's Variety Store for an easy bite. Or pick up groceries from the Co-op or Hawthorne Valley Farm Store to cook in our spacious kitchen; make it a BBQ and take advantage of our grill/smoker for meals out on the outdoor deck or on a blanket on the grassy lawn. Or, have us cook a private dinner for you and your guests! You can also grab dinner or take-out just a short walk away—fabulous farm-to-table fare at Local 111; craft beer, live music, great food at The Main Street Public House; familiar staples at High Falls Pizzeria. Many more options are a quick drive away in Hudson, Hillsdale & Chatham. Then, in the evening, light a fire and roast marshmallows by the lake. For any forgotten essentials, large shopping areas are 15 min away in Hudson (Shop Rite, Walmart, CVS, etc.) In between, grab one of our books and read by the lake, or in The Game Room guest lounge, venture out to see the waterfalls at High Falls Conservation Area (3 min away) or take a short drive to Hudson for more food + bars, galleries, & plenty of great shops. Plus, so much more nearby: Bash Bish Falls, Catamount Ski/Aerial Park, Art Omi, Olana, Distillaries, Wineries, Breweries, ‘pick-your-own’ Farms, Taconic State Park, Copake Lake & plenty more hiking + swimming options.
