The Space:
The Whistling Oak is a charming countryside retreat surrounded by tall pines and lush gardens. This classic home blends timeless character with modern comfort. Start your day with coffee on the screened porch and soak in the peaceful views all around.
The sun-filled living room is designed for gathering and relaxation, with walls of French doors opening to the outdoors, and comfortable seating throughout. Stylish décor and thoughtful touches create an inviting space perfect for curling up with a book, enjoying a fire, or sharing time with family and friends.
The farmhouse-style kitchen boasts marble countertops, chef-worthy appliances, and sunlit windows framing garden views. From easy breakfasts to farm-to-table feasts, this bright space is perfect for creating meals and memories.
Enjoy meals with a view in the charming dining room featuring a large oval table with six light-colored wood chairs positioned in front of a stunning bay window offering picturesque views of the surrounding landscape and built-in bookshelves flanking the window.
Upstairs, you'll find three sunlit bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms—one with a tub/shower combination, and the other featuring a walk-in shower. The master bedroom offers a king-size bed, the second bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed, and the third includes two twin beds.
Step outside to enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the outdoors. Take in serene pond views, unwind in nature, or gather with loved ones for al fresco dining in a truly tranquil setting.
At The Whistling Oak days move at your own pace and the quiet beauty of the surroundings invites you to truly unwind. Whether you're sipping coffee by the pond, sharing meals under the open sky, or simply enjoying the stillness of the trees, this peaceful escape offers the perfect setting to recharge and reconnect.
The Neighborhood:
The Whistling Oak is perfectly placed for exploring the scenic charm of the Hudson Valley. Start your morning with fresh bread from Le Perche in Hudson, then stroll through beautifully curated shops like Finch Hudson and Clove & Creek. For a hands-on floral experience, head to Tiny Hearts Farm to pick your own bouquet.
When it’s time to dine, you’re spoiled for choice—North Star, Gaskins, Stissing House, Café Mutton, and Feast & Floret all deliver memorable meals. Planning a picnic? Stock up on artisanal goods at Talbott & Arding or Copake General. For a special dinner, Feast & Floret is not to be missed.
Wine lovers can find the perfect bottle at Fulton & Forbes, while adventurers can rent kayaks or paddleboards from Copake Lake Boat & Ski. Don’t miss a sunset at Olana—absolutely breathtaking. Cap your day with ice cream from Fortunes or a cold pint at Lasting Joy Brewery.
This is a place where small-town charm meets unforgettable experiences—our kind of getaway.
Getting Around:
The Whistling Oak is just under 3 hours from New York City. A car is essential for getting there and exploring the area. The main access routes are the Taconic State Pkwy, Palisades Interstate Pkwy S and I-87 S. We strongly recommend a 4x4 or a car with four-wheel drive, especially in winter, to handle snow and gravel roads.
