The perfect weekend getaway within one hour of NYC pool, full gym, 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 are three buildings on the property and you will have access to two ( the main house and gym/studio) plus all the amenities.
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, in other words, the SUN (no pool heater).
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 one king, one queen size bed and futon in the studio above the gym ( which sleeps 6). Keep in mind the Barn/outbuilding is a rustic experience and does not contain a bathroom. 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).

Lots of options. What are you waiting?

Preserving this space is very important. Be sure to clean up after your four-legged friend. There are certain details/house rules which need to be discussed further request upon booking. Bringing a dog without prior notice will result in an automatic charge of $250.

*** Guests have access to all amenities (except the seasonal areas). The third building and basement are off limits. The gray building is the proprietors who may be on-premise. 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, red barn, 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.

I am an entrepreneur as well as a health and wellness keynote speaker, workshop leader , consultant and coach. I have authored three books called " How to Stay Sane When Life isn't Tools for the Mind, Body and Spirit." Vacationing is one tool I use to stay sane. Travel affords me the opportunity to step away from my life to step into my life. The monastic quality of voyaging fosters traveling light. Have you ever noticed that when you travel the most serendipitous things occur, well these occur everyday in our lives as well. Whether or not we stop to take note is another story. I hope you enjoy the wonders of traveling light and sharing in the gift of this retreat space. It was create with the sole purpose of having fun with friends.
Slightly dated, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom house is perfect for 10 people at the absolute max! I would not suggest having more people than 10 stay here, especially because there are only 2 full bathrooms. The property offers all the essentials onsite, you'll never have to leave! There is a fully stocked gym and a beautiful pool that sees the sun ALL DAY! - bring your own floats! Be cognizant that the host family lives onsite, as well, and comes and goes as they please. I would bring your own trash bags, as only a limited amount is supplied and the clean up guidelines are pretty extensive. Don't forget to pack your bug spray!

I am sorry this guest did not enjoy her stay. It is clear given the comments presented versus the 150 + positive reviews that this guest did not read the listing, house notes nor welcome message thoroughly. Everything voiced here is noted more than once in multiple places. I have learned in the service industry it is virtually impossible to make everyone happy especially if one is super sensitive and particular. I think an ultra modern home and perfectly manicured setting would have been better for this guest. The visuals and description depicted a charming rustic country setting. A 1910 farmhouse, I suppose could be considered dated as it is over 100 years old. We brought the house into the 21st century by deconstructing the house and then renovating it. The foot print of the house is 3 bedrooms, and it's been disclosed a 4th sleeping area is a converted porch, and the 5th is a studio above the gym. Yes the house has 2.5 bathrooms which has worked for many. Life in the country means you will see mother nature's critters as they were here first. Spiders are busy at work. Literally the moment something outside is cleaned the spiders are back to work doing their thing weaving a web. There are about 5 containers of bug spray at the pool. Transparency is important. In my listing, house notes and welcome notes, the proprietor may be on the premise is written. We travel often but am sometimes in town in the gray building. I can not do anything about someone missing this detail listed 6 times, no surprises. It is stated the barn is rustic without amenities. I have hosted 1000's of guests for over 15yrs, leaving trash in the bathroom is unacceptable and I can assure you does not happen. Cleanliness in this business is paramount. I am not sure how to clean a 3000 sqft house, 1000 sqft gym/studio and pool cabana area for less without compromising. My suggestion if you are on the fence about this listing is to read all reviews and then judge for yourself about privacy, cleanliness, and condition of the house etc. I work tirelessly with my cleaners to provide a positive experience. If you have questions, I am very happy to provide answers. 6 negative reviews out of over 150 positive reviews, you be the judge.
My family and I had a wonderful 4th of July weekend at Claudine's. This house is a gem, a short drive from NYC. The pool is an amazing feature and it was well enjoyed. Claudine is flawless in her communication and ensured we were always comfortable and enjoying our time. The town is cute and a perfect getaway from all the NYC noise. We hope to be back soon. Thank you for your hospitality, Claudine.

Thank you for coming to the country, you are always welcome!
A warm home a short walk from the train station. Excellent for groups. Claudine was very communicative and helpful answering any questions we have. She has thoughtfully prepared a book chalk full of resources, tips, and recommendations for the area. Everything had been thought of!

Your corporate group is welcome to return anytime.
Claudine's compound is incredible. It was exactly what we wanted for a mid-30s bachelorette party / weekend away from the city ‐‐ we loved grilling and hanging by the pool. Everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Claudine was very accommodating and helped us with suggestions in the area. She sends along a comprehensive list of instructions and rules which makes the checkin process very clear and gives guidelines for cleaning up before you check out. We all would love to come back. Thank you, Claudine!

Thank you Mary! I appreciate you and your group. So happy you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and want to make visiting an annual event. Especially since we are a short 15 minute walk from the train station.
Claudine was extremely accommodating, responsive, professional and kind. Her place is nothing short of spectacular. Just a dream.
