Classic Country 6 Bedroom

What a treat. This massive old house has been beautifully updated and appointed. In addition to the six bedrooms, there are numerous living rooms, salons and sitting areas which make it easy to spread out. The kitchen has almost everything you could want (we donated an ice cream scoop). We were here for a wedding and hosted dinner several nights in the run up to the main event. The master suite is huge and set apart. The four upstairs bedrooms all have queen beds, and two of them also have sturdy bunks, making it nice for lots of kids. The one downstairs bedroom is good for a single adult or kids. We were here in the summer for a wedding and the mini-splits kept everyone comfortable. It was really really clean, both inside and outside. And every piece of furniture, every book and picture was functional and beautiful, making it a delight to wander around. The front and back yards are fenced, which is nice because this house is on a highway. It’s 10 minutes from Kingston and Woodstock, 20 minutes to Rosendale and 30 minutes to New Paltz. There is a great rail-trail access point 5 minutes up the road for runners. And there’s good hiking/mountain biking trails even closer. And the WiFi was fast.

We LUVED this home and its eye for style that created its uniqueness, combined with homey comforts. Quiet, comfy, living room and dining room accommodating our family group of 10 (even folding chairs!) and lots of other downstairs spaces for separate conversations. Just understand that this is an historic, much expanded house with 1 or 2 small unexpected steps at almost every downstairs room transition. Quite nervous-making for a family with less sure-footed members, like us. So glad we stayed here anyway.

This was the perfect location for a girls weekend full of hiking, yoga and trail walks! The town of Kingston is so cute and the house is incredible! Perfect location and stunning views! I hope to come back again with my family.

Susanna was an excellent host. We were a big family of all ages and stayed for five nights, and contacted her several times the first two days to ask some questions about the house and the heat, to get some guidance. She was super responsive and gracious, and sent people over to help us get comfortable, and helped us enjoy our stay. One of our group left important medication behind, and Susanna very quickly got someone over there to send it overnight.Kingston and Woodstock were very cute for our outings. We had plenty of comfortable bedrooms, and the kitchen was well equipped.As the property description notes, the house is on the main road so there’s nowhere to take a walk, but we knew that ahead of time and planned for driving into town or to nearby areas to take walks in the woods.The only drawback for us was that the big dining table was in an unheated room. Susanna arranged for space heaters so we were able to enjoy being there. There’s a fireplace in that room, but it did not work well for us, so it seems something could still be improved to make that room more comfortable for dining.
