Retrograss Farm Apartment

Description

We offer an apartment overlooking our organic solar-powered farmstead that provides a first-hand look at the ebb and flow of a modern small farm with beautiful grounds, a kitchen garden, and livestock. In the summer you can see and use the kitchen garden, swimming pond, and farm store. For serious cyclists, you can park and ride from our property we are in the middle of numerous great, hilly rides! Finally, we just installed an infrared Sauna, known for numerous detoxification benefits.

The Apartment is located on the entire second floor with a large mudroom entrance on the first floor. The decor is mostly mid-century solid wood furniture which adds comfort and style. There is a soapstone stove for heating or you can utilize our gas furnace. We have an array of solar panels that provides electricity to our house and the apartment. For the summer we have air conditioning, ceiling fans throughout, and screened windows typically the apartment receives a cool breeze in the summer which is influenced by our Spring Fed pond just below the apartment.

Our guest's comfort is of the utmost importance! The entire apartment is your space. You have access to the kitchen garden, for 'you pick'. We also have wooded trails, a stream and a pond. A short walk through our woods and you will find our Dwarf Nigerian Goat herd along with our Clydesdale and Jersey cows. Our house is located next to the apartment, we will typically be available during your stay if you have any questions or need assistance. We are open-minded and respectful of all orientations, ethnicities and religious affiliations. We have friendly outdoor cats, please respect our cat free zone in the apartment. The cats will wander in if you leave the door open and they are super friendly and will greet our guests and follow you on walks in the woods. The cats have a heated space in the winter but they are outdoor cats so you will see them year-round.

We are located between the Taconic Hills and the Berkshires, it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. We are 5 minutes from the Hawthorne Valley School and 25 minutes from Hudson or Great Barrington for ample dining options and entertainment. We are one mile off the Taconic parkway. We are in an ideal location for cyclists and there are routes in our area to which we can share the links to once you book. You can park and ride from the apartment, we are located in a hilly area so it's for serious cyclists! We are close to Hudson, NY we can pick you up at the Amtrak station on request. It's about 25 minutes from our house. Otherwise, you need a car around here, but there's no traffic!
