Contemporary Home

About this property

Contemporary Home sits on a quiet street in Staatsburg, a 1970s design that guests keep calling out for its big picture windows and open, light filled rooms. The layout pairs an upstairs living space with a downstairs den, and several guests mention using both, especially for board games, records, and a wood burning fireplace on cooler nights.

The theme guests raise most is how responsive the host is, with attentive replies to questions about wifi, heat, and check in showing up across reviews from weekend trips and multi week stays alike. Right behind it is the kitchen, which guests repeatedly describe as fully equipped for real cooking, from a gas stove and dishwasher to wine glasses and baking sheets, useful for anyone planning to cook rather than eat out every night.

The decor comes up almost as often, with guests describing a tasteful, eclectic mix of vintage and modern touches, plus a record player and vinyl collection that shows up in reviews from every season. The location earns steady praise too, with an easy drive to Rhinebeck, Hyde Park, and the CIA campus, along with mentions of the Omega Institute and nearby state parks for hiking.

Outdoors, the deck and backyard draw consistent mentions for morning coffee, grilling, and quiet time among the trees, with a fire pit and outdoor dining area rounding out the space. Guests traveling with dogs note the private, unfenced yard is a plus. A few reviews mention the bathrooms could use updating and that there is no microwave, but the comfortable beds, quiet street, and overall feel of the home keep guests wanting to return.
