Experience the beauty of the changing seasons in the heart of the Hudson Valley with this rare seasonal rental available from November 2024 through August 2025. Set on a historic Hudson River estate perched above the mighty Hudson River in Germantown, NY, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom converted barn is a captivating blend of rustic charm, artful decor, and modern comfort. As fall transitions into winter, take in the estate's majestic views of the Catskill Mountains, enjoy nearby hikes, visit local markets for cider donuts, and host Thanksgiving gatherings in a cozy, warm space. When winter arrives, snowshoe across the estate's sprawling 86 acres or head out to enjoy the nearby ski slopes. Cozy up by the wood stove on chilly nights, and visit holiday festivals or a local tree farm to cut your own tree for trimming. In spring, watch as tulips and hellebores bloom across the estate, signaling the start of new life and vibrant color. The estate itself is home to adorable baby goats, adding to the charm of this seasonal retreat. As summer arrives, soak in the long, warm days by hosting friends and family for weekend visits, taking advantage of the outdoor slate stone patio for al fresco dining or unwinding poolside while savoring breathtaking views of the Catskills. Inside, the barn's main living area welcomes you with thoughtful decor, original art, a well-equipped kitchen, and a den/TV room with a wood-burning stove for those cooler evenings. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two shared bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations. Nearby, savor local dining in Germantown, Tivoli, Rhinebeck, and Hudson, or spend an afternoon at local breweries. Pick up fresh produce and cider donuts from nearby farm stands such as Otto's Market, Hearty Roots Community Farm, or Montgomery Place Orchards. Explore hiking trails, enjoy outdoor adventures, or immerse yourself in the local art and culture of the surrounding towns. Should you want to share the bounty with friends and family, your guests can easily hop on a train for a weekend visit. Simply pick them up from the Amtrak station in Rhinecliff, just a 20-minute drive away. And for those considering a second home in Dutchess or Columbia County, this rental is a perfect base from which to explore the area and experience the abundance of life along the Hudson! Available November 2024 through the end of August 2025 with a three-month minimum. Flexible start and end dates.
