About this property

Hat Shop House: Charming Retreat in the Heart of New England. Family friendly.

  • Welcome to the Hat Shop House! Only 90 mins from NYC, this charming New England farmhouse is the perfect place to get away and relax, as well as enjoy all the activities the countryside has to offer. Book a fall weekend and come and pick apples, eat apple cider donuts and enjoy the fall foliage. Book a winter weekend and enjoy skiing at the nearby Mohawk Ski Resort and drinking hot chocolate or roasting smores by the fire. Questions? Don't hesitate to reach out.

    Nearby activities: Farm stands/farmers markets, Wineries, Breweries, Antique shopping/markets, Hiking trails for all levels, Restaurants (the Village Bistro and General store is a 3 minute walk; other taverns and fine dining are less than 20 minutes by car), Ice cream spots, Charming (but modern) playgrounds, Lakes for swimming with public access (summer), Pick-your-own berries (summer), Apple picking and pumpkin patches (fall), Skiing (winter), and so much more!
    **Prior to check-in you will be provided with a detailed guide of all spots/activities the owners recommend, including those that are good for kids**

    If you're thinking of coming with little kids, Hat Shop House has everything you need: Backyard swing set, UppaBaby Cruz stroller, Plenty of indoor toys (cars, Magnatiles, Lego, Lovevery, etc.), Outdoor toys (kids electric cars, soccer nets, corn hole, bubble guns, water table, sprinkler, splash pad, blowup pool, etc.), Books, Babyletto crib & Pack n' Plays, Blackout shades, Stokke high chairs, Silicone plates, bowls, cups, , Baby Bjorn potties, sippy cups, bibs, and toddler utensils, Booster seats, Baby Bjorn bouncer seat, Bumbo seat, Sound machines, Baby Monitors, Baby gates, Baby bath seats -- it's all there!

    The kitchen is fully stocked! If you plan to cook and eat at the indoor farmhouse table or al fresco at the teak table, the kitchen will have everything you need. Just a few steps outside the dining room door is a large gas grill and a Blackstone Flattop. Stew Leonard's (a popular grocery store with kids) is only 20 minutes from the house (and right en route from NYC), and a handful of local grocery stores are less than 10 minutes away. Of course, if you prefer not to cook, the Village Bistro is right around the corner (and they offer take out). A great wine and liquor store is also less than 10 minutes away.

    Please note that the house doesn't have a separate gym, but in the garage we have a range of dumbbells (up to 25lbs), workout bench, all sorts of workout bands, TRX, yoga mats, etc. There is also a Peloton in one of the guest bedrooms.

    Also note that the bunk beds are kids size, meaning the house really has 3 bedrooms that can accommodate adults.
