Adventurous: Cronin's is the place to go (only about 5 miles away) if you love playing golf - fantastic course and great food! Love their hot dogs! Starting in early Spring, Square Eddy Expeditions has white water rafting. Are you planning on attending a wedding at Friends Lake Inn? Then, staying at Hermanus is just down the road. Revolution Rail is your place if you love recumbent biking along the Hudson. Hermanus-on-the-Hudson is the place to be!

Hermanus is a private estate (25 acres) located on the Hudson River in Chestertown, NY, surrounded by nature. Hermanus has a unique history, so be sure to check out Hermanus' history on our website, www.hermanus-on-the-hudson.com.

The Adirondack Style 2nd-floor Carriage House apartment boasts over 1500 sq. ft. with almost every amenity you desire. Upon entering your private entrance, you will be amazed at the living areas: Open living/dining/kitchen area with a wood-burning stone fireplace that reaches the 16-18 foot ceilings.

At Hermanus, you may walk the many trails, sit in or by the river, fish, walk across the Hudson (when the water is low), snowshoe (not provided), or sit by the fire pits (two on-site). In addition, there are puzzles, games, internet Wi-Fi, and a 75" Smart TV.

Wish to dine in: the kitchen has almost everything from major to small appliances and baking supplies. Have your cup of coffee (k-pods or 12 cups) anytime during the day, a toaster, blender, or crockpot. Plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and knives make preparing meals easy. Ample cupboards and a large refrigerator offer plenty of storage. Paper and cleaning products, including basic food supplies such as ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, spices, and sugar, are provided. If you forgot an item, ask!

The main bedroom has a king bed and a comfortable chair to read in. The adjacent walk-in closet has plenty of hanging space, a washer/dryer, and a small safe for valuables.

The second bedroom has two twin beds with a closet. In addition, there is a small desk and a trundle bed in the "Crows Nest" (loft). This area overlooks the massive living/dining/kitchen area. Maximum sleeping is 6. There is also a travel crib (Graco Pack 'n-Play Dome LX-Playard).

The private bath has double sinks and a walk-in shower. Additional bathrooms are shared with the Caretakers: 1/2 bath downstairs (through the heated garage) and a full bath (shower) in the heated workshop.

Chestertown is about 5 miles from restaurants, and an exquisite fine-dining restaurant is minutes away. Every town around Hermanus has its unique charm and plenty of activities.

Peaceful Retreat
Wonderful and peaceful setting by the Hudson River. House was clean, beds were comfortable and fireplace was great. Caretakers Sue and John very welcoming and our kids had a ton of fun playing with their dog Ruby who has boundless energy and would have retrieved balls all afternoon. Just a top notch experience and we look forward to coming back.

Beautiful getaway along the Hudson
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The apartment is beautifully appointed - amazing kitchen and great room - and the neighboring DEC land is fantastic for walking. Our host was great to work with and Susan and John were wonderful. We’ll be back!

Peaceful getaway
This place was great! Honestly I was slightly nervous because it was an apartment, but it definitely did not feel like it! The place was open and spacious while being cozy at the same time. The caretakers that like in the lower apartment were very welcoming and friendly. Their two dogs were so sweet and the kids really loved them. The property was gorgeous, such amazing views! We went at the end of October so the peak leaves were gone but that didn’t hinder how beautiful it truly was. We can’t wait to go back, already planning our next visit!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Farr

Host profile image
Hermanus Estate was given this name for one of the most beautiful places I have visited - Hermanus, South Africa, where the water and views were breathtaking. I, Ken Hopper, have resided on this property since 1998 and thoroughly enjoy every minute. His wife, Susan, joined him in 2013. The Caretakers, John and Sue, have resided here for over 14 years; if you have any questions, please contact them. They reside on the other side of the Carriage House apartment.

Before Hermanus, the property was called "No Kaire." The previous owners, Jay and Gay Mahoney loved and developed this property into its present style. Both loved the Asian culture as depicted. Even the main house is shaped like a bird, like a typical Japanese summer home. As you walk along the pathways, you will find a huge koi pond with a waterfall; however, the pond is currently not working (under repairs). The Asian culture is depicted in the Carriage House, where you will stay.

Being a host brings joy to the caretakers and the owners as each family who stays with us is unique and special, and we learn from each other. It is a joy to learn!

We do accept dogs only. If your dog or dogs are over 20 lbs, we request an email to let us know what type of breed your dog is as well as their weight prior to your booking. So far, we have had dogs up to 125 lbs.

Why they chose this property

Hermanus is in the center of year-round activities: Gore Mountain, Chestertown, North Creek, Friends Lake, Schroon Lake, Loon Lake, Adirondacks, Americade, World University Games, FISU, Bolton Landing, and Warrensburg is the host to the World's Largest Garage Sale. You may be as busy as you wish with activities or you can relax with nature. It is all up to you! An abundance of activities awaits you: skiing, rafting, biking, hiking the High Peaks, water skiing, snowmobiling, boating, etc.

On the property:
- Screened Gazebo by the stone wall.
- Small fire pit, "Overlook," the river and mountains - mid-way down the scenic driveway.
- By the river, a larger fire pit with the ability to go swimming or walk across the Hudson River.
- Heated ski storage.
- Walking paths on the 25 acres or along the pathways onto the adjacent property where you will see deer, bears, and other animals.

Each season has its own characteristics, i.e., gardens in the spring and summer, fall foliage, ice flows in the winter, and multiple walking pathways throughout the year. Bring your snowshoes! In the summer, sit and relax by or in the private waters of the Hudson River or visit a productive nearby fishing hole.

What makes this property unique

Picturesque, peaceful, and relaxing in nature and we pride ourselves on cleanliness.
