The house is also in the heart of Hudson Valley with easy/close access to so many other towns (Red Hook, Ghent, Rhinebeck, Chatham to name a few), farmers markets every Saturday from April to Dec (in Hudson and Hillsdale, equidistant and not sure which is better they are both fantastic), lakes, hiking, nature, the quaint Berkshires towns and Tanglewood, as well as winter activities such as skiing and tubing. The list goes on and on, and we will provide recommendations for every activity!
There have also been many weekends where we were perfectly content staying at home, hanging out on the back porch, bbq'ing, the kids running around in our backyard, throwing rocks in the pond, playing games/pool/chess, relaxing with music playing on Sonos, and ending the day sitting around the fire pit roasting marshmallows.
