This property has remained essentially unchanged since the mid- nineteenth century, when it was first developed by Robert Livingston. When you come here you can relax and experience nature as he experienced it, except now within the comforts of a modern home.

If you are a bird watcher, you will thrill to see our resident pair of bald eagles, or our flocks of wild turkeys. Other birds that are often seen include great blue herons, hummingbirds, pileated woodpeckers, and red-tailed hawks. Bring your binos and head to our promenade overlooking the hudson where you can sit on the benches we have there and watch eagles go by at eye level. No eagles the constant boat traffic is fun too.

We keep miles of paths cleared for hikes throughout the property. Pick up a picnic lunch at the renowned Ottos Market in Germantown and some local wine at Lawlors across the street and have a picnic at the Cheviot town dock where there are picnic tables and a grill. Ottos carries local beers too.

Want to go off property the local vineyards, breweries and distilleries have tasting rooms open on the weekends.

Your accomodations are down a gated, half-mile, private road which is accessible only to you and the owner. Outside there is comfortable deck furniture and Adirondack chairs, on which to finish that book you have been meaning to read, or to just relax.
Should the weather keep you inside, there is wi-fi and a flat screen TV, along with more old-fashioned pursuits like board games and books. Air-conditioned for the summer, and with a wood-burning fireplace for the autumn and winter (aged firewood is provided), there is really no "off season" here.
If you are attending a wedding in the area, this is a great base and is ideal for sharing. Our full-time property manager is always on-call, should any problem arise.
