Schoolhouse Rocks!
Beautiful, spacious, historic renovated schoolhouse, well appointed furnishings. Giant great room off the back and out to an expansive green which is NOT fenced enough to let your pet run loose, which they say in write up (our dog loved the great room to play in). A few things: If the weather is inclement, the firewood on the property along the fence will be wet. We arrived in rain and had sun the next two days but wood was wet, and could not locate any bagged firewood in Rhinebeck, so could not use the firepit, recommend you bring a bag in case. Note that it is in an off-the-beaten path location, wooded property, with a 7-minute drive into to town, which was easy-peasy; but it is an hour walk by foot. Another reviewer mentioned the lack of shades throughout (except for bedrooms and bathrooms). It gives an airy feel in the day, not so much at night. I would recommend to the owners that they put roll down shades in the TV room area and front vestibule. The place is fully stocked with household/kitchen items. Board games. Great water pressure in the bathrooms. Firepit area was nice, but again, bring a bag of wood if you want to do a fire, just in case. Beds very comfortable. Owners were very communicative. All in all, we had a great time with our fur-baby. A last note on Rhinebeck: We have been coming up here for 20 years. The town is dog friendly. However, the Mayor recently put into effect garbage rules. Every can in town said, no dog waste. You have to take it with you.
