With so many places to discover within a short driving distance in Columbia County, a car is recommended. Visitors will find sheep and cow farms, breweries, cideries, wine makers, distilleries, cheese makers, performance spaces, art spaces, and a sculpture park -- all within a 30-minute drive. The twin-size daybed in the cottage's living room doubles as a place to relax but also as a bed for a third guest or for one of two guests who may not want to share the bedroom accommodation. The living room daybed is not normally fitted with bedding unless required for guests' stay. We ask that guests let us know prior to arrival if they require the daybed to be ready as a sleeping location during their stay. Letting us know prior to arrival gives us time to put full bedding on the daybed.
