Our farm kitchen is stocked with essential pantry and all necessary cooking equipment you want to use (food processor, kitchen aid mixer and hand blender).

Neighborhood farms (Sheeley's, Damn Good Honey, Saunderskills and Kelders) and food coops (High Falls and Kingston) for you to shop and plan your meals in the gourmet kitchen, complete with a grill and outdoor dining area on the patio. By nightfall get a fire going in the fire pit, sit in the historic living room, sinking into the comfy couches and unwind from your day hikes in nearby Minnewaska, New York’s most loved state park.

In season, we share our fresh chicken eggs and produce from our vegetable garden with you. Our chickens roam free, as does our resident cat Pretzel. If you leave doors open, they might wander in and keep you company. They love exploring the inside of cars so make sure you keep your vehicle doors closed at all times.
