A rare seasonal rental available Memorial Day to Labor Day, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom converted barn is set upon a historic country estate along Woods Road in Germantown, NY. This summer abode is a captivating blend of rustic charm, artful decor, and modern comfort. Inside, the barn's main living area welcomes you with thoughtful decor and original art, a well-equipped kitchen, and den/TV room, complete with a wood-burning stove for chilly evenings. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two shared bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations. Step outside onto the slate stone patio, which overlooks a sweeping lawn and pasture, perfect for leisurely breakfasts and evening cocktails. Outdoors, explore the estate's sprawling 86 acres of rolling meadows and lush forests, where morning walks, stunning views, and adorable baby goats await. Relax poolside while soaking in one of the Hudson Valley's most breathtaking vistas, stretching across the river to the majestic Catskill Mountains. Pick up local produce and fresh-cut flowers from nearby Otto's Market, Hearty Roots Community Farm, or Montgomery Place Orchards Farmstand. Snag a table at Gaskins restaurant, sample craft beer at Lasting Joy Brewery, enjoy a scoop (or two) at Fortune's Ice Cream, catch an independent film at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck, hike or bike local trails, or go antiquing in Hudson - there are endless opportunities to explore the natural beauty, superb dining, shopping, art, and culture that Upstate NY has to offer. Should you want to share the bounty with friends and family, your summer guests can easily hop on a train for a weekend visit. Simply pick them up from the Amtrak station in Rhinecliff, just a 20-minute drive away. And for those considering a second home in Dutchess or Columbia County, this rental is a perfect base from which to explore the area and experience the abundance of life along the Hudson!
