Abbey Road Farmhouse

About this property

Steam lifts off the hot tub into the cool night air as the woods go dark and the stars come out over the treetops above Mount Tremper. Behind you, the house glows through its tall windows.

Walls of picture windows fill the great room with daylight and frame the forest from the deep couch, and on snowy evenings the wood stove warms the whole space. The renovated kitchen has a stand mixer and every pan you could want for long family dinners. Four bedrooms and three baths sleep eight, including a bunk room stocked with toys and books for younger travelers.

Out back, a landscaped lawn rolls toward the trees, with a swing set, a broad deck with a grill, and a fire pit ready for s'mores. In the barn, skee-ball, ping pong and foosball keep the evenings lively. Mornings bring birdsong, the tap of a woodpecker, and sometimes deer at the edge of the yard.

Woodstock is a 10 to 15 minute drive for vintage shops and dinner, and Phoenicia lies the other way, with breakfast at the Phoenicia Diner and tubing on the Esopus Creek. A morning latte from Bread Alone in Boiceville is about ten minutes off. In winter, the slopes of Belleayre are close enough for a day of skiing and a slow drive home through the snow.
