About the host
Hosted by Beth Kanaga

Hi, I'm Beth Kanaga. As the property manager for Blue Sky Barn, I'm delighted you're considering this exceptional and comfortably elegant country estate! Originally from Monmouth County, NJ, I moved to Hudson in 2008. A few years later, I realized a long-held dream when I launched Bushnell Guest House, a bed and breakfast set in a historic mansion. It's now my privilege and pleasure to help a friend (and former B&B guest) achieve his own vision for Blue Sky Barn!
Why they chose this property
This property has it all: easy access from the Taconic Parkway, close proximity to Hudson, and the perfect home base for sightseeing, recreational activities and destinations like Bard College, Tanglewood and Woodstock. The photos, while lovely, don't fully convey the warmth and elegance of this unique house and grounds. Come experience them for yourself and make lasting memories with family and friends.
What makes this property unique
Why split up your group at scattered inns and hotels when you can all stay together here? Save and have fun by cooking meals together in the charming brick kitchen. Enjoy each others' company in the many cozy gathering spaces. Drink in the sunshine with your coffee each morning, and savor pre-dinner cocktails in the lush garden. In this haven from life's hectic pace, you'll sleep more soundly, laugh more often and be truly present with loved ones.
