Estate of Tranquillity

  • 8 guests

  • 4 bedrooms

  • 4 bathrooms

This grand, historic estate can be found in the heart of the Hudson Valley, two hours from NYC and fifteen minutes from Kingston. With a main stone house, guest cottage, and a repurposed barn, there’s heaps of room – in fact, you’ll have 120 private acres to explore. We love the swimming pond with a dock, and that guests have access to the trout waters of Esopus Creek. Views of the Catskill Mountains can be admired from the deck and from the sunken hot tub and sauna. The decor isn’t the most sleek, but this home is full of charm and is perfect for lovers of the great outdoors.

Home truths

    Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you during your stay.

    We recommend hiring a car to make the most of your stay. In winter, four-wheel drive is highly recommended.

    This home is spread between the main house and a guest house.

    While not every bedroom or bathroom has been photographed, we expect the style and standard to be consistent with the rest of the home. Bedroom four is set up with bunk beds, so is best suited to children.

    There’s some visible wear and tear in the bathrooms.

    This host does not accept bookings with a check-in date within 4 days.

Local guide


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. The lush, ever-changing landscape is an attraction in itself, but the towns of the Hudson Valley offer a healthy dose of culture and history. This area...
