About this property
Heart of Historic Hillsdale, NY, charming carriage house, Swiss Chalet-style
Located in the heart of the Berkshires, equidistant from NYC and Boston, this newly equipped and renovated carriage house is located in the historic town center of Hillsdale, NY. The carriage house is a completely separate and private structure from the main house. You'll have a Swiss chalet-style, warm spacious living room, a cozy dining room with a wooden table fit for 6, a fully equipped quaint kitchen with modern conveniences (with pots/pans, dishes and silverware, coffee maker, dishwasher, toaster oven and microwave), bathroom with washer/dryer, balcony with beautiful view of Catamount, 2 spacious bedrooms downstairs with built-in closets (one with a queen bed, the other with 2 twins). Additional sleeping space for two is located in the living room (queen pull-out sofa). There are exposed beams from the original barn throughout the house. The entrance has a solarium/mudroom for skis, boots, shoes, hiking boots, golf clubs, and bikes (bring your own). There is a lovely decorative Vermont Castings stove in the living room. There is internet and Roku TV. Our driveway can hold up to 2 guest cars. Perfect for year-round getaways. Our guest house has easy access to all that the Berkshires, Western Massachusetts, and the Hudson Valley has to offer.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Daniel Bodzin
We have been lucky to enjoy this property for the past 35 years.
Why they chose this property
This property is part of the historic district of Hillsdale. Our main house was built in 1827 and we tried to keep as much of the original look and charm of the barn as possible with exposed beams for instance. The property is in the center of town within walking distance of many amenities, yet it is private with 2.7 acres of land; a huge piece of land in the center of town.
What makes this property unique
Centrally located yet private. Cozy and historic.
