The Barn in Tivoli is a fun, cozy & unique home for your country getaway!

It's an easy 5-minute walk to the charming Hudson Valley Village of Tivoli where you can start the day with freshly baked brioches, have brunch at the Corner, and get an Ayurvedic treatment in the afternoon. In the evening, after a nutritious farm-to-table dinner, catch a theater performance at Tangent, dance at Kaatsbaan or opera at The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts (a stunning Frank Gehry building). End the night at Traghaven, the whiskey pub, and if you are lucky, it'll be Karaoke Night!

If staying in is what you need, the Barn is a relaxing retreat with wood burning stove, old piano, a soaking tub, a curious library, back deck, grill, fire pit and a rustic kitchen equipped for your cooking pleasure. Take a walk to the stream or have a picnic by the pond.

For the adventurous guests, Tivoli Bays is a great setting for kayaking, paddle boarding, bike riding or amazing hikes with your own two feet. Our area also features beautiful roads for bike riding.

BARN DESCRIPTION
Unique, 4-season rustic barn, with an open, loft-like floor plan. Lovingly renovated with the work of numerous local artisans, surrounded by gardens and green, a 4-acre oasis with a pond, stream, small yoga deck, 3 fire pits, and picnic table by the pond. The Barn is a fun, charming, rustic shelter and provides a totally unique experience for friends and family. It's a communal space that brings people closer together. 'It was like a big sleepover' says one of our illustrious guests.

In the cold months, it heats with a highly efficient wood burning stove supplemented by 4 mini splits. We provide all the wood. The Barn will be fully heated once you arrive!

In the Summer the Barn cools down with 4 efficient mini splits and you can cool down at the spacious, private outdoor shower while gazing at the trees and sky.

SLEEPING LAYOUT
The Barn sleeps 5 guests in 4 beds; 1 king, 1 queen, and 2 twins. The 4 beds are distributed on 2 different levels; the second floor and the loft.

**IMPORTANT** The Barn is a loft and bedrooms are not separated by doors. They do have privacy curtains and their own cozy nooks.

SECOND FLOOR // King Nook // Plush, 12", brand new Casper foam mattress on a wooden bed frame. Organic sheets. 50-inch Smart TV.

SECOND FLOOR // Twin Trundle Nook // 2 twin, 8" Casper foam mattresses on trundle beds. Next to King Nook. Great for kids or couples as one of the beds can either be left low or raised to match the regular height. Organic sheets.

LOFT // 10" Casper foam mattress *on the floor*. Windows open up to the creek and the mezzanine has a view of the second floor.

KITCHEN //
Rustic kitchen nicely equipped for your cooking pleasure. Plates, cups, mugs, utensils & pans are included. Sub-Zero fridge with freezer, convection oven, cooktop, large sink. No dishwasher.

We also have a large grill on the deck. Guests have also used the fire pit to cook corn, bake potatoes, roast meats and marshmallows.

Rustic bathroom with claw foot tub & organic toiletries. Bath towels provided. Bring your creek/outdoor towels.

DOWNSTAIRS FULL BATHROOM //
Beautifully tiled shower with rubbed oil bronze fixtures, a rain shower head & organic toiletries.

DRESSING ROOM
I created this room thinking of guests who come to the Barn to attend weddings in the area. Includes a vintage dresser, hangers and mirror enclosed by linen curtains.

LIBRARY
All sorts of books - I am sure you will find something curious. Enjoy it on the hammock in the summer or by the wood-burning stove in the Winter.

BACK DECK
Brand new, fun & colorful seating and dining for cookouts from spring to fall. Large gas grill and fire pit are your outdoor cooking options.

OUTDOOR SHOWER
Open May to October
Wonderful, spacious, private shower on the deck! In the summer you might find yourself taking multiple showers throughout the day.

FIRE PIT
The fire pit located in the Barn's backyard is for your exclusive use.

PROPERTY
The property features over four acres of forest bordered by Stoney Creek. In the center, there's an open meadow with a pond. We placed a beautiful, custom, cedar picnic table there, right next to a second fire pit. It's a wonderful place to watch nature and enjoy beautiful days.

If you walk along the creek you will get to two different spots where you can access the water. One spot has a pebble beach and a semi-deep spot where you can dip in. The other entrance features a third fire pit. We have placed a small wooden platform by the creek, ideal for meditating, practicing yoga, or just watching and listening to the water.

The Barn neighbors the Cottage, used as the homeowner's second home. You will often see the homeowner's car but no interaction is necessary. Both structures are private and sit around 75 feet away from each other and 100 feet away from Broadway.

THE VILLAGE
Tivoli is one of the hidden gems of the Hudson Valley and an easy 5-minute walk from the Barn.

It serves a big portion of the Bard College population - students & professors are often seen walking around the village at the coffee shop and bakery. Tivoli is also home to many young families who moved up from NYC + BK and old residents including world-famous artists.

Tivoli is a tiny village, friendly & quaint. It's centrally located between Rhinebeck and Hudson with Germantown and Red Hook along the way. It's an awesome spot to explore the Mid-Hudson Valley - from farms to old mansions, from antiquing to watching cabaret at the Spiegeltent or high-end performances at The Fischer Center for the Performing Arts. Visit the beautiful Olana sitting atop a hill with majestic views of the Hudson, catch experimental music and art at the Basilica, and shows at Helsinki. Not to mention all the superb dining options in Tivoli and all the way from Rhinebeck to Hudson.

In the Summer, Captain Jerome will sail you from the Rhinecliff station to the dock in Tivoli. Yeah, it's amazing and special!
