Travel fantasy: The Hudson Valley

Crikey, how rad is this rental house in the Hudson Valley? It's only 2.5 hours from New York City, and the property has three bedrooms, a claw-foot tub, heated towel racks (!), an apple orchard, and a sauna. It would be such a fun weekend escape.

  2. Take us with you! What a killer fireplace, I guess if it's going to be this cold outside, might as well be somewhere with snow this beautiful!

  6. Looks so peaceful. Cozy up in front of the fire with a cup of tea and a great book, then I wouldn't mind the mounds of snow falling outside the windows.

  45. Definitely amazing, but did you see the price?! It's not so much a romantic weekend away type place as a group outing type one - definitely need to share the cost. If I'm spending $1000 on a weekend trip, it's a) going to be a longer weekend than 2 nights and b)better include airfare!

  54. Great how the dog is looking outside.. I am not to fond on animals in my bedroom though... I have trained my cat not to walk on the whith floors LOL... sometimes he does go in my room and I hear him miauwing *is that a word?) as if he want to say look I am naughty ;P

    I have a valentines give away running and another really exciting one next week! Come over and play ;)

  60. I'll keep it simple - WOW!!! As an Aussie who has just sweltered in a week long heatwave that snow scene is so appealing! Might be a bit far for a weekend escape though...shame!

  61. Thanks so much for the outrageous plug for Ten Broeck Cottage, Joanna! Hits to our vacation rentals site, www.RedCottageInc.com , spiked so much I assumed it was an error. You're right to have chosen that property as the uber-cool stuff of city-dwellers' dreams. It's one of our most popular rentals.

  62. love the natural source of light!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Wow! This place is awesome. Right now my boyrfriend and I go to college in PA. We both really want to move to New York City when we graduate (pending actually getting jobs there!) This is just another reason for us to dream. We always talk about everything the city will have to offer, but this makes weekends in the country look just as good. I could imagine him writing in an old comfy chair under one of the skylights, and me taking photos of our dogs playing in the snow. Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Wow, this place looks so amazingly cozy. And the adorable dogs so aptly placed in the photos don't hurt the appeal either...

    ReplyDelete
  65. I can't believe how close that is to the city! It'd be the perfect place to vacation without venturing too far away! So cozy!

  75. the sight of those wide plank floors make me swoon. and that bathroom is being favorited right away!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Now that is what I'm talkin' about...a modern home in the country! I own a small cape-cod right outside of DC, it's furnished with vintage items found via Craigslist, consignment stores, flea markets and even the trash. I love my home very much, but I so desire a home in the country that is sparse, bare and empty. Oh wait a second those all mean the same thing. Well, you get my point! I need a place to rest my over indulged mind. A place to get away from my country home in the city. A place to breathe.

    Oh and by the way, Toby is to die for cute...that smile reminds me of my son at that age. Hold him close to your heart, as the days will fly by and all of the sudden he will big, but he will always be you're little man!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Holy geez. How awesome.
    And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one to ask if the dog comes with the place. That white bedroom drenched in sunlight is an extra treat... drool.

  85. I realize this might sound... shallow... (no pun intended, teh heh), but it is seriously one of my life goals to one day have a bathroom like that. And now you've added another-- that fireplace!!

    P.S.-- I lived in Sweden from this last October through December, and our apartment had a genius heated towel closet (check the 3rd and 4th posts in my blog archive if you want to know more ; )...) Anyway, about Sweden--you need to go there, girl!

  93. This cottage is actually IN Hudson, not just in the Hudson Valley. I'm from Hudson! It's come so far - it used to be a desolate sad little town, but now we have a ton of antique stores, boutiques, and adorable properties like this one! Definitely go if you get the chance.

  100. I grew up in the Hudson Valley and I am convinced there is no place more beautiful than Warwick, NY about 1.5 hours out of NYC in the fall. Check Sugar Loaf, NY small arts and crafts village right near by. FABULOUS

  112. @Miss Gina: LMAO! Yea, is the dog included??
    This is a great house inspiration for those who are dreaming of a cozy place to just chill and relax. Reminds me of The Big Chill. It's really cool. That bathroom can be a do-it-yourself I think, since the tub is very simple. As for its living room, building a separate construction for the area is not so common today but very unique. Perhaps we can use Pantone's color of the year which is Honeysuckle.
