Country Living in mid-Hudson Valley

Our 1880s home with gardens and creek out back is a short bike ride to Beacon's Main St and to hiking trails with vistas. When at home, soak in our outdoor hot tub, collect eggs from our chickens and flowers, herbs and vegetables from our gardens. Our home is surrounded on three sides by open space and feels peaceful and secluded. You can often hear the creek rushing over the falls. Pick your own vegetables, flowers and herbs from our garden. Collect your eggs for breakfast! Garden and chickens will be tended to by our neighbor, so your part is optional. Free weekly CSA share from Fishkill Farms included. The house, yard and garden shed for storing bikes, strollers, etc. We also have a large enclosed front porch for additional storage of outdoor gear. The only thing off limits is the free standing art studio next to the house. We will leave keys for you or arrange for someone to let you in and during your stay, we will be available to answer questions by phone or email. We have a cat who let's herself in and out of the house through the basement. If you would rather not have a cat in the house just let us know. Our neighborhood is quiet and easy to navigate. Our neighbors are extremely friendly and always ready to lend a helping hand. Walk 1/2 mile into the hamlet of Glenham for a sandwich, some pizza or to get a taste of our local post office. :) Hiking trails are basically across the street and up Fishkill Ridge. Beacon train station is within an 8 minute drive. Cab service is available. Our home is easily accessible by car from routes 84 (Exit 12), 9 and 9-D. Our driveway fits up to 3 cars. The airport is a 20 minute drive from our house using Rte 84. Cabs are available, as are rental cars. Beacon is a great place from which to explore the Hudson Valley or to take a trip into Manhattan. See Guidebook for the many fabulous places to visit for sightseeing, hiking, and the arts. *Guidebook link is in upper right corner of this page. Enlarge the map to click on various points of interest. The hometown of folk legend Pete Seeger is making a name for itself as a hub of music and art. See Guidebook for a list of local eateries with great live music! On the second Saturday of each month, art galleries open their doors in the evening for art openings... always fun to browse with a glass of wine. Each Sunday, there is a farmer's market on the Hudson near the train station and Riverfront Park. Long Dock is a great place to stroll and watch the sun set over the Hudson. There is also a path along the river to Dennings Point. For people with young children, there are several parks in the area with great playgrounds! The Wee Playground at Memorial Park, Green Street Park and Riverfront Park. Also worth checking out is the open barn each Saturday at nearby Stonykill Farm. Lastly, don't forget the CSA pick-up and pick-your-own fruits and vegetables available at Fishkill Farms each Saturday morning. This is free since we are members!
