Berkshire Suite in Historic Mansion

Enjoy a private suite in this 1860s mansion set in a park-like atmosphere. We've painstakingly restored this hidden gem to retain its old-fashioned charms, but have filled it with modern conveniences and luxuries like soaking tubs, private porches with gas stoves, and high-end bedding. Just off Exit 22 of the NYS Thruway, Peltz Estate is 15 minutes from downtown Albany. The Berkshire Suite features a queen bed, antique cast iron bathtub, and a private porch with a propane stove and views of the east shore of the Hudson River. This suite shares a kitchenette with a neighboring suite, but private coffee service is available in the room. The kitchenette has a mini refrigerator, microwave and sink, and is well equipped with the essentials. This space has a smart TV. There is a desk with a comfortable chair and lamp. There are several common areas to enjoy on the first floor including a parlor with a fireplace, perfect for an evening cocktail or game night. Or cozy up in a comfortable chair in the library with one of our antique or vintage books by a second working fireplace. A continental breakfast is served daily between 7 and 10 in the parlor. A huge porch with comfortable wicker furniture overlooks the pond, our herb and perennial garden, and the east bank of the Hudson River. End the day toasting a marshmallow in Adirondack chairs by our fire pit. Please note that there is no full size kitchen for use by guests. This home is 7,500 sq foot and our caretakers and co-hosts, Becky and Mike, live in the back end of the house. They have their own private entrance and there are locked doors between their space and guests' space. Guests have very little interaction unless they choose too. Guests can have contact-less check in via keypad lock through a private entrance. The parlor, library and half-bath (all on the first floor) are unlocked and accessible by all guests. Each private bedroom suite has a keypad lock. The estate's caretakers and co-hosts, Mike and Becky, live in the back end of this 7,500 sq ft mansion and are available to assist guests. They have their own private entrance and there are locked doors between their space and guests' space, including guest common areas. We love to greet guests, but if you prefer a private check in we're happy to accommodate you. Peltz Estate was once a working 200+ acre farm. Much of it is now owned by a land conservancy group. A public hiking trail that goes all the way to the Hudson River runs down the side of the property. The estate still has its ice house, laundry house, carriage house, horse barn, hay barn and other outbuildings. Yanni's Too Restaurant, famous for its calamari, is just down the road in Coeymans. Downtown Albany is a 15 minute drive. You can be on the Berkshire Spur, which connect to the Massachusetts Turnpike, in minutes. Saratoga is 45 minutes north, while Hudson is 45 minutes south.
