Feel your cares melt away as you enter the long private drive leading up to your personal retreat in the treetops. Perched on a hilltop overlooking a private pond, this newly renovated home has been designed with peace, serenity and comfort in mind. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley, only 5 minutes from the Omega Institute and just over 10 from the town of Rhinebeck, you will find nature trails, quaint towns, and fine dining in all directions.

THE SPACE
The Pond Overlook retreat has been designed as a personal oasis, providing everything needed for a peaceful and relaxing stay in nature.

Meticulously curated with the comforts of home, the retreat is a three bed two bath sanctuary in the heart of the Hudson Valley. We're located in Rhinebeck, NY, just two hours north of NYC.

Convenient to of the local shops and restaurants of the surrounding towns of Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Hyde Park, and Millbrook. Each town has its own culture and character, from local wineries, to boutique shops, fine dining, and cultural landmarks.

THE OUTDOORS
The pond and wetlands is a haven for birds, and we have all kinds of animals visiting us here. There is a large fire pit, grassy area for play, wide path leading to a small hilltop with bench overlooking the pond, and woods to explore below the covered porch in front of the wetlands.

The long covered porch is the perfect blend of comfort and nature. It's raised so you are seated in the treetops, on a beautiful white sectional, and just surrounded by nature. With three hummingbird feeders you are guaranteed an amazing show. It's my favorite place for a cup of coffee in the morning, or to curl up at night and enjoy the energy of a thunderstorm.

BEDROOMS
All three bedrooms are nestled in the treetops with lake and woodland views. They have floor to ceiling blackout and sheer curtains, 100% cotton sheets, extra pillows and blankets, and an Echo device for sound. All three beds are super comfy, one King is a pillow-top and the Queen is adjustable. Each bedroom has a generous closet, a chest of drawers, and luggage racks.

KITCHEN
Our kitchen is newly renovated and well-stocked with everything you need to prepare a delicious meal away from home. Spices, oil, and vinegar, are provided, as well as coffee, tea, and Keurig pods. There are plenty of pots, pans, baking sheets, bowls, as well as a toaster oven, blender, rice cooker, many other small appliances. For your perfect brew, there is a drip coffee maker, Keurig, French press, coffee grinder and Espresso machine.

LIVING ROOM
Get cozy on the large L-shaped West Elm sectional. It is so soft! The living room is the heart of the home, with an open plan through to the kitchen and dining room, as well as a view through to the family room. Curl up on the sofa with a good book in front of the fireplace, or gather around the coffee table for a game with the family.

FAMILY ROOM
The perfect place to play! There is a large game cabinet chocked full of puzzles and board games of every kind - well over 100 different options includes something for everyone! The Roku TV is ready for your use, and will reset on check out so no need to remember to log out of your accounts. There are three large recliners for TV viewing, one individual and two in the sofa.

YOGA ROOM
Flooded with natural light, the multifunctional yoga room is the perfect space to reconnect. Yoga mats and gear are provided, with just enough space for two to workout together. There is a meditation pillow, small well-stocked bookshelf, and a hanging chair in the corner to reflect in. The laundry machines are tucked away in the opposite corner, hidden behind sheer curtains when not in use. There is also a sturdy folding desk stored behind the door, for when you need an office. The door to this room closes and locks for privacy.

BASEMENT
There is an unfinished but clean basement set up with a ping pong table and a few larger games. There is a section blocked off for personal use around the equipment area, and the rest is available to you. There are glass doors leading to backyard, facing the path to the pond.

Other things to note:
Please note, that while the space itself is private we do have a few nearby neighbors, and it's important to respect their privacy and property boundaries. The covered porch, which faces the pond and wetlands, is completely private, and faces only my acreage. The neighboring homes are on the other, smaller, side. I've added a small fence, and over the summer the foliage provides additional screening for privacy, but over the winter you can see through the woods a bit to their property.
