Overview
Come for a tranquil visit to the Hudson Valley!
Situated well off the road in a country setting on a corner wooded and park-like setting of 5 acres, my guest cottage is spacious, (the main room is 18' x 18') fully furnished with a queen size bed, and has a fully equipped separate galley kitchen and bath. The cottage has slate counters and floors in the kitchen and bath, and a working corner wood stove. Located about 7 miles from the center of Rhinebeck or Red Hook, 4 miles from Omega Institute, about 10 - 15 minutes to Bard College, 6 miles to the Taconic Parkway. As a studio, it is really suitable for 1 or 2 guests only. Off street parking, handicap accessible, best bang for your buck in Rhinebeck. My house is also on the property but the angle between the main house and the guest house still allows for very good privacy. Please note that there is a large stand-in slate shower with great water pressure, but there is no tub. There is a beautiful pond on the property as well partially visible from the cottage. Bring your fishing pole for catch and release. The bass in the pond are very cooperative! This is a great area for walking, hiking, biking and driving around visiting the numerous historic sites in the area. Also, there are numerous excellent restaurants in Rhinebeck
About merri cook
We live on the property so are here to assist you with anything you need during your stay. Our house is situated about 75 feet from the guest cottage but because of the angle of the two building's location, there is still privacy between the house and guest house. With Homeaway since March 2015, everyone who has ever stayed in the cottage has loved it.
merri cook purchased this cottage in 1999
Why merri cook chose New York
privacy, serenity, quiet country park-like setting, yet close to the many historic sites in the Hudson Valley
What makes this cottage unique
Enjoy the country quiet while still being close to all of the sights and attractions of Rhinebeck and the Hudson Valley. My property is very pretty and neighboring homes are only remotely visible only in the winter. When the trees fill in, privacy is excellent as I am on a corner wooded lot. There is a nice 5 mile loop on a side road that even has sections where the road is still dirt, not paved! That's the country for you! There are friendly neighbor dogs and cats who we do not allow in the guest house, but who are pleasant visitors.

Perfect home base in Rhinebeck!
This is a great little cottage, located well off the road in a private setting. It has a really well-appointed kitchen, with a full-size fridge and oven. We were arriving late, and the owner thoughtfully provided coffee fixings, a carton of half and half and even a bottle of wine so we didn't have to run out to the store. The bathroom is updated, and the bed is super comfortable. This is a very thoughtfully appointed guest cottage, the perfect size for two people. There was a sulfur smell to the tap water (as other reviewers have noted), but it just wasn't a big deal to us, and the owner provided gallons of bottled water for us to use. We would definitely stay here again!
Peaceful. Quiet. Exactly what we were looking for.
What a charming place! The area is quiet and peaceful yet close to many things to do and see. We really enjoyed our stay! Will definitely stay again when in the area! Thanks Merri!!
Unfortunate choice
This cabin could have been a great choice. The interior space is ample and well organized. There was a full set of kitchen appliances. In addition, there is a small outdoor patio. Unfortunately, there were a lot of problems with the cabin the worst of which was the strong smell of sulfur in the tap water. The host provided bottled water but showers and tooth brushing were unpleasant. In fact, following a shower, my skin smelled of sulfur.
In general, things were not particularly clean and many items such as the carpet were in rough shape – worn or frayed. The concrete outdoor patio was in serious need of cleaning. In addition, the flower boxes were full of dead flowers and the front garden was basically all weeds.On top of these things, the driveway had some large potholes.
Serene; clean and comfortable
This was a wonderful stay. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again or highly recommend it to anyone wantin to visit the area. Within15-30 minutes of great meals in Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and tevoli. Also close to many historic and scenic sites.
Good location
The cottage is in an ideal location for visiting the area.
We did not find the cottage appealing. It felt like it was leftover furniture and decorations that did not go together.
We also had a hard time with the smell of the well water. I know it can be strong, but you can not leave the bathroom door open due to the smell. We had locked up the place and left the bathroom open for the day while we were sight seeing and we came back to an unbearable smell of sulfur and iron. I wish I had been warned to leave windows open or close the bathroom door. I read note discussing the well water, but that does not describe it.
Beautiful, Quaint and Secluded Cottage
The cottage was beautiful, comfortable and quaint. It was decorated lovely and I felt at home as soon as I walked through the door. We enjoyed are stay in Rhinebeck enormously. I would say that the only negative thing was the sulfur water that serviced the cottage. For someone who is not used to the smell of sulfur water, it can be quite overpowering. The owner provided drinking water, but the odor of the sulfur water when you were bathing or washing your hands was a little unpleasant. If you can overlook that, the cottage is a very lovely place to stay.
