We are available via phone text or Airbnb or even in person to offer help throughout your stay. There is an appliance/system notebook and a home binder in the kitchen hutch filled with information including many local eateries and activity options. Here are some of my favorite restaurants and grocers: Local Food: Our favorite restaurants in Rhinebeck are: Bread Alone for coffee and breakfast (prices are very reasonable) including artisan breads and pastries or simple organic food. Terrapin Bistro Le Petit Bistro Momonji Sushi Bar Gigi's (Italian) Posto (wood fired pizza) The Rhinecliff Hotel for beautiful views on nice days Aroi (Thai) and Cinnamon (Indian). The Red Onion is on the way to Woodstock and is very good -a little pricey. Two good grocery stores in Rhinebeck are TOPS (near the fairgrounds next to Williams Lumber) and Sunflower Naturals (in the Rhinebeck village). Hannaford is on 9G enroute to Redhook or also just across the Rhinecliff Bridge in Kingston. Adams Fairacre Farms is also just across the river in Kingston and is where we go for produce meats and fish. They also have good cheeses and baked goods. Our home is private, wooded, safe with close proximity to several of the most popular sites in The Hudson Valley. We have the best neighbors and want to keep it that way:) Tony next door walks his five barking dogs twice a day and can answer any questions concerning the Hudson Valley. Arnie and Marial are across the street. Arnie is a retired 80+ neurosurgeon and can often be found on his property on a tractor or with a chain saw in his hand:) The Village of Rhinebeck (and Dutchess County Fairgrounds) is a few miles up the road on Rte 9. The village has several restaurants and bistros, antique shops and an art theater (Upstate Theater). The farmers market on Sunday is one of the best with locally grown food, artisans and local musicians. Our home is midway between mansions/walking trails at Vanderbilt, Norrie Park, FDR, Mills Mansion and the center of Rhinebeck Village. We are also minutes from the Omega Institute and the Culinary Institute of America Additionally many of the best ski areas including Hunter, Bellayre, The Berkshires, Butternut and Catamount are all within driving distance. Metro North in Poughkeepsie (The Hudson Line) is 11 mi away. It is a 2h commute to Grand Central Station in NYC.

The Amtrak can be taken from Rhinecliff which is 7.3 miles away and goes into Penn Station in NYC. There are binders full of information about the area, incl places to visit, walk and eat. Our home is on a cut road between 9G and Rte 9 (Albany Post Road) which leads into Rhinebeck. We are at the top of a hill that winds around and are on the right side of the road. Our home is dark green with white trim and windows. Due to being an antique home, it is too close to the road to park in front of the home. We ask that you park in the gravel turn-around at the top of the hill and enter through the front door. There is a narrow antique staircase leading to bedrooms PLease only use mild detergent (Mrs Meyers) on the marble and stainless steel. (No harsh chemicals) Each guest is given a code on day of check-in for the Smart Lock which is located on the side door The Grill Propane for the grill is not automatically provided. If you find tanks empty they can be refilled for $20 each at Williams Lumber in Rhinebeck (next to fairgrounds) There is a beautiful Weber grill on the deck. The cleaners do not clean the grill as a good cleaning can take up to 3 hours. It is easy and quick to keep up if cleaned regularly after each use and usually only takes minutes. So we just ask that the grill be cleaned by each guest if used in consideration of the guests that come after you. This will also prevent fires and improve the taste of your food. If you have never cleaned a grill before there is a great 4 minute video on YouTube: “How to clean your gas grill” which basically goes over the tips below Thanks in advance for your cooperation! Instructions for cleaning grill: 1. Spray inside of hood with simple green 2. Use wire brush for grill grates every time you cook 3. Remove grates and clean flavorizer bars if very dirty 4. Clean burners (skinny bars w little holes) w perpendicular motion so charred particles and carbon bits don’t get pushed into burner and affect your food 5. Heat diffusers and corners: Use paint scraper for any excess carbon bits 6. Replace drip pan if needed 7. If outside of grill is dirty use only Simple Green on stainless steel all grill cleaning supplies are on laundry room shelves over washer /dryer Being in the country there may be an occ bug or bee that sneaks in. We have sprays in the basement but we rarely have to use. Please wash your hands upon arrival The Airbnb guidelines for Covid safety are followed by our cleaners and are provided for our guests.
