Rushbrook Lodge

About this property

Rushbrook Lodge sits in Saugerties, a renovated 1825 farmhouse once used as a vacation boarding house. Two full homes join by an interior hallway, giving groups room to gather or split off, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms across the property.

Host responsiveness is the theme guests raise most, with many describing quick replies before and during their stay and welcome treats like muffins, fruit, and s'mores kits waiting in the kitchens. Cleanliness comes up nearly as often, with guests calling the house spotless on arrival trip after trip.

The layout suits big groups. Several reviews mention the two kitchens and two living rooms as ideal for spreading out, whether cooking a full holiday dinner or letting kids and dogs run in the yard. The creek behind the house and the bluestone patio overlooking it are a recurring favorite, with guests describing evenings on the porch or falling asleep to the water below.

The hiking trail on the 100 acre property is another draw, with guests taking morning walks and spotting deer along the way. A few also mention the fire pit as a nightly gathering spot for s'mores. Several stays note the easy drive into Saugerties and Woodstock while still feeling removed in the woods.

Guests describe the interior as a mix of vintage and updated touches, with original boarding house sinks still in place in two bedrooms. Renovated bathrooms and well stocked kitchens come up often enough to matter for a longer stay with family or friends.
