Description

The perfect getaway within one hour of NYC pool, sauna, hot tub, steam room and fireplace, relaxation guaranteed! Within walking distance of the train.

Welcome to your home away from home in Garrison.

Do you have a special Birthday? Anniversary? How about a work retreat ? or do you want a break from the concrete jungle ?

This charming 1910 farmhouse is perfect for resting, relaxation, restoring. It is fantastic for preparing meals as a group and having decadent dinners with close friends or colleagues. Mature guests who can appreciate the tranquility of this peaceful setting. I am sorry we can not accommodate weddings but have a great alternative. Think country, cozy, intimate, serene, quiet and restorative .... There is noise ordinance in the town. Loud sounds taken inside at 10-pm.

There are three buildings on the property and you will have access to the main house and all the amenities. The proprietor has access to the other buildings.

There are many great homes in this area. Although our home is truly a retreat. I once wanted to own a spa and the closest I have come is adding endless amenities. The grounds are beautifully landscaped allowing for a walking meditation admiring the wonders of nature.

Using our outdoor walking labyrinth calms your mind as you weave into the center and out. Adjacent is the hot tub to soak your weary bones.

The outdoor living room cabana is equipped with a gorgeous stone fireplace ( we provide the wood for your convenience use as much as you like additional fee does apply). A glass of wine and the flames of a fire are a great way to end a summers day. Lounge by the pool and or revitalize in the sauna, you choose. Keep in mind the pool and pool area are opened seasonally (at the owners discretion). The pool is heated by the warmth of mother nature, we have recently added pool heater. ( The cost of propane is an additional ).

We have a king, full, queen and one twin mattresses on the second floor ( which sleeps 7 people). The trundle beds are great for overflow and perfect for night time use. The porch has a two twin bed and a full size mattress ( sleeps 4). The porch is now heated. There is now a full sleep sofa in the living room as well.

More simplified:
Master Bedroom - 1 king
Second bedroom - 1 full, 1 twin
Third bedroom - 1 queen Porch - 2 twin, 1 full
Studio - 1 king, 1 queen, 1 full futon
Living room - Sleep sofa 

The only question you will be asking yourself each day is which means should I use today to relax? Perhaps take a bath in the pedestal claw foot like bathtub surrounded by candles in the master bedroom? Or indulge in a steam shower? Or lounge on the deck off the master bedroom? Or do you love to cook?

Our sunlight kitchen with Viking stove with 6 burners and griddle allows for plenty of creativity and hours of entertaining.

One charming feature of being in the Garrison area are dirt roads and driveways. We are preserving this feature and have a dirt driveway (A wet winter or spring could mean a little mud).

Wireless internet and cable are available.

We are a two-minute drive to the Metro-North Poughkeepsie line train station or a 15-minute walk.

Lastly, we thrive on feedback and suggestions only in this way can we continue to enhance the beauty of this retreat space. If you rent with us know that you can contact us anytime to assist in making your stay delightful.

Some of our guests have rented this home for corporate retreats, special small milestone birthday parties celebrating 30's, 40's, 50's ( groups of 8-16 ) etc, as headquarters for a local wedding ( the bridal party gets ready at the house and heads out to the venue).

When you book your stay please let us know upfront how many guests are expected? The nightly booking fee includes up to 6 guests. That means if you have friends, coworkers, or anyone else that is coming into the house, they are considered a guest. As an effort to keep our rate low, we price the base of the home low and charge more for extra people. This is done specifically to keep our rates low.

If you have over the number of guests you have made your reservation for, you will be automatically charged the difference or we reserve the right to cancel your reservation with NO refund. Interaction with guests is kept to a minimum unless of course, you need assistance. Whenever possible I do a walkthrough of the property creating a lay of the land. Otherwise, we can accomplish the same walkthrough over the phone. Also, a white binder has the house notes which you can resort to if any questions arise.

Also, the notes will be sent prior to your arrival. Given some recent changes to the rental policy, Proprietor may come, go and stay in the third building. Although we are sometimes on the premises, the house, and amenities are yours...

ENJOY! Right across the street is a historic home with 50 acres and horses. The Garrison Cafe is within walking distance in case you need a quick cup of coffee. If you like to run there are dirt roads for a quiet country jaunt. Peace, tranquility, and calm are important to preserve this listing. This area is residential which means there are neighbors although you can't see them they can hear you. Loud sound has to be turned down in accordance with the noise ordinance.

Dinner level music by the pool ONLY. If your group needs to be loud, and wild do it inside with the windows/door closed or this may not the place for you. We are within a 15-minute walk of the Metro-North train station or two-minute car ride. Having a car is useful. Many hiking trails are accessible within walking distance.
