Our home is a cozy and stylish ranch house located in the heart of the village of Red Hook, NY. Red Hook is centrally located for lots of Hudson Valley hotspots (Rhinebeck, Kingston, and Hudson are all close and convenient drives), plus all the beautiful nature the Hudson Valley has to offer (great farm stands, farmer's markets, breweries, proximity to hiking/skiing in the Catskills, etc). We're also very conveniently located to the Amtrak and Metronorth stations, with trains that take you to Manhattan in two hours. Bard College is also just down the road in Tivoli. We love our community: it's a wonderful place to visit with children, and our house has all the amenities needed for a toddler and baby!
The Space
We have a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, a room with a single bed (my daughter's room), a room with a crib (my son's room), and an office that also has a queen size bed in it. There is a bathroom connecting the children's rooms, and one additional bathroom near the office/guest room. There is a large living/dining room with a wood-burning fireplace, a separate den/tv room, and an eat-in kitchen. We also have a large backyard!
Guest Access
No stairs, it's a ranch house.
Notes
Our cat, Abby, will stay with the house and needs feeding/her litter changed! She's old and peaceful, and enjoys cuddles.

Neighbourhood
We live in the small village of Red Hook: there are sidewalks so you can walk straight into town, or to the local park and playground. It's a college town filled with quaint country charm, and really conveniently located to lots of Hudson Valley hotspots.
Getting to my home
You'll definitely need a car to get around. There is a train station about 10 minutes away, with trains that take you into Manhattan or further north. But it would be impossible to visit without a car.
Nearest airport
Albany airport is 45 minutes away; the closest after that are the NYC airports, about a 2 hour drive or train ride.
Getting Around
Guests can walk into the town of Red Hook for a cup of coffee, bottle of wine, or a meal. There used to be a little market but it recently closed, so you'll need a car to get to the closest grocery store (a five minute drive).

We're a family of four living in the beautiful Hudson Valley, two hours north of NYC. We're British-American and love to return to London often to visit family.
