Historic Barn Retreat w/ Pool & Pond Views | Longview Pond Lodge by AvantStay

Welcome to Longview Pond Lodge by AvantStay! Tucked along a peaceful country road in Clinton Corners, Longview Pond Lodge is a soul-stirring escape where 19th-century charm meets contemporary allure. Originally built in 1869 as a working barn, this one-of-a-kind home has been reimagined into a dramatic, light-filled residence that celebrates both its historic bones and the serenity of its surroundings. Set on nearly two rolling acres overlooking a tranquil pond and shimmering pool, the home's original timber beams soar three stories high, anchoring cathedral ceilings and open living spaces with authentic character. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout, leading you from a showstopping living room with a towering stone fireplace to a chef's eat-in kitchen complete with a butler's pantry and bar—ideal for cozy nights in or festive entertaining. The adjacent oversized dining room is made for lingering meals and spirited conversation, while a quiet den with a half bath offers a peaceful space for work or reflection. Upstairs, three distinctive bedrooms—each with its own en-suite bath—are arranged around an architectural catwalk that floats among exposed beams and antique joists. Downstairs, the expansive walk-out family room opens directly to the pool deck and includes a secondary kitchen, making indoor-outdoor gatherings effortless. After a swim, rinse off under the outdoor shower or simply relax on the large screened porch with a drink in hand as you watch wildlife gather near the water. Beyond the porch lies a two-car garage and a charming outbuilding perfect for creative projects, hobbies, or storage. Whether you're curled up fireside or wandering the wooded grounds, this home offers an inspiring blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort—all just two hours from NYC and minutes from Rhinebeck and Red Hook.

Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York’s Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area’s rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there’s a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between. Local attractions: Stone Ridge offers easy access to some of the Hudson Valley’s top spots—hike the cliffs and trails of Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska, explore Woodstock and Kingston’s arts and dining scenes, visit Olana and Opus 40, sip along the Shawangunk Wine Trail, and unwind by the Ashokan and Rondout Reservoirs.
