Rhinebeck Perfection - One Level w/ 2 Living Areas

What’s not to love? A gorgeous, architecturally interesting 1830’s schoolhouse, sited along a quiet lane, but within minutes of the bustling, chic town of Rhinebeck. This home offers every comfort, delivered in a warm visual hug.



All on one level with two large comfortable living spaces, a chef level kitchen, two bedrooms that are spacious yet cozy, and two spa like bathrooms will all provide the vacation experience you are looking for.



Enter into the hallway, originally the schools’ cloakroom, where storage and the hidden laundry room are located. Immediately in-front is the large living room, grounded by a beautiful fireplace, television, and offering a center point to the homes many areas and wings. Each wing has a bedroom with queen size bed and a bathroom, one with a shower, the other with a bath / shower combo.



The rear of the home has a jewel of a kitchen, with top grade appliances and polished stone counters. A small seating area is adjacent for chatting with the cook. This is open to the large and airy great room, with a big dining table and further comfortable seating.



The garden - the property is just over one acre - is private and soothing, with a fire pit, patio, and adorable exterior lighting.



Rhinebeck village is minutes away, as is the Ferncliff Forest Preserve for great hiking and fishing, the Northern Dutchess Botanical Garden for plant enthusiasts, and for history buffs, the FDR Presidential Library and the Vanderbilt Mansion.

PLEASE NOTE -

Cancellation and Insurance: We encourage all our guests to purchase travel insurance, whether through the OTA when offered at the time of booking, or through a third party. We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy.



Utility Outages: As Upstate New York can see its’ fair share of inclement weather and is primarily a tree rich area with overhead power lines, please know we do not assume responsibility for utility outages during your stay. If electric, water or Wi-Fi service is impacted, we do not refund. Of course, if an outage were to persist for longer than 8 hours we would allow a cancellation without penalty.



Weather: During the winter months, there may be ice, snow, and hazardous conditions. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. Please ask about the plowing schedule for the house. Most driveways are plowed at or before 3” of accumulation.



Animals and Pests: The house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. Although it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. All our properties benefit from scheduled pest control, but we are in a natural environment and we can not fortify the houses completely.



Cleaning Guarantee: We are very proud of our housekeeping team who go above and beyond. Because of their hard work and high professional standards, we are able to guarantee our cleaning to our guests. We take time stamped video and photos of the cleaned property and do not refund for any small issues found during a stay. Instead, should a guest feel that something is amiss or needs additional attention, we will gladly have a housekeeper attend the home to take care of it within 12 hours of an issue being reported.



This home may have weekly lawn and trash services as well as monthly pest control service. Service providers may access the exterior front yard and back yard during your stay to ensure the home is properly maintained.



Rental Agreement: Please know that we require all guests to sign a rental lease agreement.



Pets: This property only allows dogs.
