Amazing stay!

Everything about my experience was perfect! The house was like stepping back in time but with all the modern amenities. So much attention to detail to make sure our stay was comfortable. Wonderful hosts! I’ve stayed at a lot of places through VRBO and this was definitely one of the very best!

Great location, very quiet! Great view of the Hudson River. THE BEST stocked rental I’ve ever stayed at as far as kitchen supplies, toiletry, and charging accessories.

Relaxing Labor Day weekend on the Hudson River

My 2 girlfriends and I, along with our husbands, spent the Labor Day weekend at this lovely house on the Hudson River. It was well appointed, including small touches like cotton balls and razors in the bathroom, towels for the little rocky beach that’s accessible in the morning at low tide, and a lovely bottle of wine on the table when we arrived. The great view of the river was so relaxing and we found ourselves outside frequently on one of the large porches. Jennifer was also great to work with. Highly recommend!,

Classic mid-nineteenth century Hudson River Valley waterfront house. Having grown up close to this town I should know. If you are thinking of moving from a big city to a rural hamlet in the Hudson River Valley, this place is a must.

We cannot wait to return!!!

I cannot say enough about this home! We felt like we were visiting the home of family, not strangers. It’s the perfect balance of historically whimsical charm and chic, classic modern comfort. The entire home was thoughtfully appointed from the fully stocked kitchen and coffee nook to makeup towels and soft linens - even the fluffy throw blankets in every corner. You will not lack for things to do both inside the home and outside. Everything was carefully labeled in such thoughtful ways, you never found yourself thinking “how do we turn that light on?” There was even a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and lighted garland on the banister! Jennifer and Eric were responsive, kind, and incredibly helpful. We cannot wait to return in warmer weather!! Thank you, Jennifer and Eric, for sharing your gorgeous home with us! Your thoughtfulness was felt around every corner. - Shaun and Michelle

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Whipple

I live in New York City with my husband Eric and 14-year-old daughter. It has been such an amazing journey raising a family in the heart of New York City; especially since Eric hails from Wisconsin and I'm from Northern Virginia.
We have always loved watching Chip and Joanna transform homes on their show Fixer Upper, and we're thrilled to share our historic home project with you! Don't worry, there's no shiplap!

Why they chose this property

I most enjoy the beauty of the neighborhood and the tranquility of this little street. The most dominant sound you will hear is the songs of various birds including cries from majestic bald eagles. Seeing these birds soar by always takes my breath away.

Watching pleasure boats, barges, tankers, kayaks and canoes to up and down the river is alway a very enjoyable activity. We have a kayak and a 5-person paddle boat available for guests should you want to get out there and join them!

What makes this property unique

This property is magical, there is no other way to describe it. It is warm and inviting and super comfortable and the perfect place to get away from it all.

When you want a great meal or excellent shopping, there are many cute towns a short drive away including, Coxsackie, Athens and Hudson.

For the winter sports lovers, there is great skiing, snowboarding and tubing nearby at and Hunter Mountain and Windham Mountain Club. Hunter Mountain also features New York Zipline Adventures Tours. These tours are offered year-round and this is the longest and highest zip line in North America.
