Our Upstate NY home is a cozy country cottage that dates from the 1790s in beautiful Columbia County. On 14 acres, it's private and quiet, with woodland walks, a secluded in-ground swimming pool, a lush garden, and lots of country walks, towns, drives, culture, and outdoor activities nearby. The space The House: This is a beautiful and well-maintained 1790s farmhouse in scenic Columbia County, between the Hudson River and the Berkshires. The house is cozy and yet spacious: 3 bedrooms (one with a queen bed and a twin daybed, one with a queen sleeper sofa, and one with a full bed), 2 bathrooms, a working fireplace, piano, laundry, a dining room, living room, a renovated kitchen with lots of light, and a screened-in porch with a dutch door. Two of the bedrooms have writing desks, and one of the bedrooms has an additional daybed for a nap or small sleeper. The aesthetic is rustic and refined, with a few modern touches. All the rooms are light-filled, and two of the bedrooms have windows on three sides. Outside, there is a detached deck, beautifully landscaped gardens, an original 1790s post-and-beam barn, and two wide lawns ringed in by trees, one of which features an in-ground, gunite swimming pool with a retractable cover. The yard is gorgeous in all seasons. The house is on a quiet country road, and the property consists of 14 acres of forest. It's a quiet, private setting: you cannot see other houses from the property. Guest access You'll have access to the whole house and property. Other things to note This is our home, not a rental property. We expect guests to treat it the way you’d treat the home of a friend. It’s a 200+ years old country farmhouse, with antiques and delicate objects, and there is a steep staircase (original to 1790) that leads up to the two main bedrooms—as such, our home may not be suitable for young children or the elderly. Upstate New York can experience the extremes of seasonal weather. Please double check the forecast before your stay and pack accordingly.
