Rustic Paradise

  • 8 guests

  • 4 bedrooms

  • 3 bathrooms

You'll have plenty of outdoor leisure options with access to the Esopus Creek for kayaking, fishing and swimming from this 300-year-old home's 6 acres of land. If wild swimming is not your thing, have a dip in the saltwater pool and take in the panoramic view of the Catskills. There's a sauna on the grounds, as well as several barns – one has been converted into an entertaining space, perfect for small weddings and events. Inside, there's character aplenty – we love the enormous working fireplace in the kitchen. Speaking of kitchens, your host here runs a small handcrafted chocolate business from a separate entrance to the main house's basement. They may need access during your stay, but this shouldn't compromise your privacy.

About Kingston

While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery. The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
