River Song was originally built back in 1930, as a fisherman's cottage. We're NYC photographers and fell in love with the house & property the first time we saw it. We decided to expand & renovate the house, as our vacation getaway. We had a curated, chill, Zen- meets- rock'n'roll vibe in mind. We hope you like it ! Original music photography & 1950's movie posters decorate the walls - a nod to the rich musical and artistic heritage of the Hudson Valley.
Most of the house in on one level, including Living room, Kitchen, Dining area, 3 of the bedrooms, & the 2 bathrooms plus a sunroom room with designer lounge chairs and a desk & chair, if you need to work.

The perfect space for our annual reunion of six friends. We raved about the comfort of the mattresses and the great variety of shared spaces we could gather in, from the long dining table to the living room to the backyard. Absolutely incredible!

Thank you so much - you guys were a pleasure to host! Hope you make it up this way again soon.
We liked everything about the house but the two upstairs bedrooms were very small, had no doors, and the stairs leading to them are steep. The screens in those rooms offer privacy but don't block any noise from the first floor.
I’m originally from England and my partner Kellie is from New England ! We are both professional photographers. When we’re not traveling for shoots , we split our time between NYC, Nyack NY and the Saugerties area - never far from The Hudson River ! We like to travel whenever we can & experience new places and I have visited over 40 countries around the World. We love this area & we’re so happy we get the opportunity to offer our home to visitors. It's such a great area- full of history & beauty - and a great place to base yourself when exploring the Hudson Valley
Why they chose this property
We love the waterfront location of River Song House and being able to watch the Seasons change and the wildlife float by ! We wanted somewhere large enough to host groups and have a big dining table - so having 4 /5 bedrooms plus the open mudroom is perfect. There's enough rooms and space to do meditation, yoga & a work area too. The location is amazing - with supermarkets & stores only 5 minutes away - yet still surrounded by great nature hikes and trails. Plus Saugerties, Rhinebeck, Woodstock and Kingston are all less than a 20 minute drive away.
What makes this property unique
Being on a little slope is great - which gives us a great view of the Esopus Creek... and no chance of flooding. We love that the original house was built in 1930, making it almost 100 years old. We preserved the original wood floors and built-ins, which really adds to the cool, nautical feel of the house. The wall of windows overlooking the water is fabulous all year round too !
