About this property

Charming Historic Hudson Valley Farmhouse | Close to wineries, hiking, & museums

This is a 3400 sq. ft 3 BR/2.5 bath unit that occupies the entire first floor of the 1873 Marlboro Farmhouse. We have lovingly renovated this property to provide a relaxing space to enjoy the Hudson Valley and all its attractions.

We’re centrally located between Beacon, New Paltz, Kingston, and West Point, and close to many local farms, wineries, and some of the best hiking in the Mid Hudson Valley. If you would like to book both 1st and 2nd floor units together please contact us directly.

The open concept kitchen/dining/living room area boast over 1000 sq ft, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and large windows. The kitchen is fully stocked with all cooking & baking supplies, spices, and a coffee station. The coffee station includes a regular drip pot and filters which can brew a whole pot or a single cup (No pods - we try and reduce our plastic waste where we can); a grinder, French press, pour over, stove top espresso maker, and of course, a special Farmhouse Blend coffee.

The large mid-century addition is connected to the original portion of the house via a design room filled with artwork and inspiration. The three bedrooms are all located adjacent to a ship-lapped reading room. The bedrooms are all on the main floor and sleep 8 in beds. The front bedroom has two queen beds along with an en suite, the middle bedroom has a queen, and the third bedroom has a king sleigh bed. There is plenty of outdoor space for grilling, picnicking, and entertainment. We have croquet, horseshoes, badminton and plenty of space for other lawn games.

Please Note: This first floor unit is dog friendly with a $50 pet fee. Please include your pet on the reservation so we can provide the proper amenities.

The base nightly rate includes two guests, each additional guest is $35/person/night. We chose this pricing structure to accommodate parties of all sizes.

Larger groups or extended families interested in renting the second floor apartment as well may look up that listing (VRBO listing #1287810). The spaces are completely separate, with their own entrances, kitchens, etc... *If you would like to book both 1st and 2nd floor units together please contact us with requested dates.

Perfect Place

It was what we expected from the VRBO listing. A charming home that suited our specific needs. The host was very cordial and pleasant to deal with. The location was central to the tours and excursions we had planned.

Extremely Spacious & Very Comfortable!

Whitney & John were excellent hosts with excellent communication response time! The property was extremely spacious and very comfortable. We loved the location and found the neighborhood quiet. We reserved both the upstairs listing as well as this one and for our family, it was perfect. I can’t recommend this property highly enough!!

5-Star Farmhouse

Our week at the Farmhouse was 5 Stars in every way. Whitney and Mark are the perfect hosts: available if you need them and they have thought of everything to make your stay equally perfect. The house is convenient to all the Hudson Valley sites and exactly as described. All the rooms were spotlessly clean; beds were super comfortable and each room included carefully chosen "treasures"--from a 1930s typewriter to a collection of vintage photographs to a retro phonograph with a variety of albums. Our Sunday morning breakfast included a side of bacon and a magical mix of Billy Holiday and Frank Sinatra. The mornings were a bit chilly for coffee on the deck but we did enjoy the lovely setting for a late afternoon glass of wine and the expansive view. We were only 2 people in the spacious first floor but it could easily accommodate 8 and is perfect for families. We loved everything about this property and hope to return in the future. Thanks Whitney & Mark (and Lucy & Jackson, too)!

Centrally located, well stocked.

This large property has plenty of room for a big gathering, and the kitchen is provisioned with anything you might need for preparing a big family meal or celebration. Nice and clean, with a/c units in each room to keep cool in hot weather. Centrally located with easy access to the airport in Newburgh, just across the river from Beacon, Hyde Park, beautiful old mansions and gardens open for tours, as well as the FDR estate and museum/library. Property owner gave a warm welcome and quick orientation tour, making check-in and check-out quick and easy.

Wonderful stay!

For my family (my husband and our two teenagers), this was our second stay at the Farmhouse (in February 2020 & February 2022) and both were great experiences! The house is large with high ceilings, a great kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. I love all the little details - from the vintage typewriter to the record player to all the comfortable places to read. Whitney was very helpful both times in settling us in and giving us advice about the area. Just a great place to stay!

Huge, well-equipped kitchen & comfy beds.

The location is wonderful for taking in a variety of historic sites and art museums. You are surrounded by apple orchards and wineries, cute towns and wonderful hikes. Don’t miss the Wallkill Farmer’s Stand. We feasted on fresh corn, tomatoes, green beans, local peaches, nectarines and cantaloupe. We came prepared to can peach butter for a long-lasting memory. Live lobster is available at Gadaleto’s in New Paltz.

So spacious and lovely

We were on the ground floor and the space was amazing. Tons of living space, beautiful and comfortable bedrooms, and unique and wonderful decor. Our 10- and 12-year-old kids loved learning how to play croquet in the expansive backyard. It's quite a magical place to stay. We could have spent another week there just exploring the books they have. The owners are lovely people and it was a pleasure to meet them.

Wonderful getaway to remote work and relax!

Mark and Whitney are consummate hosts. Farmhouse is immaculate and beautifully furnished, even better than the photos. Communication was easy and responsive to questions and requests during our stay. The farmhouse is well situated, easy to get to the Walkway Over the Hudson near Poughkeepsie and the farms, trails and wineries in the area. WIFI supported 6 people who worked remotely and the house (we rented both upstairs and downstairs) afforded ample space for spreading out/privacy for calls. Our golden retriever loved the outdoors!

Amazing getaway

Stayed here during a week in April, early spring. Actually writing this before we leave out, but we *love* it here. The layout and decor of the house are immaculate, beautifully put together space with plenty of sitting areas to spend time individually or relax together watching TV or listening to records. The pictures on the ad don't quite capture how lovely the open plan vaulted living room, kitchen, dining room are. This is the first floor of a massive farmhouse, so the open plan area is one part of an L shaped space, which then moves into another room you can lounge in, then to another hallway with three great bedrooms, and another small living room. Three bathrooms, two are full. Full of windows, light, and plants. There is just a ton of room, and there is even a cool little house being worked on in the backyard. We had far too few people, and came just early enough in spring that we didn't fully take advantage of the outside grill, patio, or massive yard bounded by a stream - I did have a few AM coffees listening to the water. Great place for a family and friends get together, especially if you rented the upstairs apartment. Marlboro is gorgeous, a hilly area fully of wineries and apple orchards, up on a ridge so driving you get glances of the hills and mountains next to the Hudson. Very pretty, nothing really in Marlboro but you are 15, 20 minute drives to Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, and New Paltz. The hosts are responsive, relaxed, super helpful but never overstep boundaries.

AMAZING Character, comfort, and accessibility!

This house was fantastic. From communication with Mark and Whitney to checkout, everything was taken care of and set up for an enjoyable stay in the Hudson Valley. The house is a renovated old farm house, and the owners have done an amazing job updating it to maintain it's character and ensure a very comfortable stay. From the unique details of an old record player with diverse selections, amazing book selection, beautiful property with bocce, croquet, and corn hole to super comfortable beds and very friendly hosts, we loved our stay. They even set up an amazing easter egg hunt for our kids on Easter Sunday! Will definitely try to come back soon.

Family retreat

This property was the perfect meeting place for a much needed escape from isolation with my adult children and their spouses. The house was meticulously cleaned, spacious, and had everything we needed to prepare family meals . Whitney and Mark were accessible and very helpful but not intrusive. We appreciated that they set up a secondary fire pit/ outdoor seating area for the other family staying in the adjacent orchard keepers apartment so we could both enjoy evening s’mores while maintaining social distancing!

Perfect for our multi-generational family | Already planning the next trip

Organizing a stay for 10 people during a pandemic, logistics and ease of communication become key. The communication with Whitney was superb. Fast response time to confirm the house, always clear communication, and upon our arrival both Mark and Whitney were there to greet and walk us through. The pictures do not do justice! The home is very clean, relaxing and light. I came prepared to clean the house before the rest of the family arrived. Upon arrival, I was cautiously optimistic; the home appeared very clean. I went over the counters/floor with my Clorox to confirm. Nothing came up on the towel that was visible to the eye. Everything was clean. My vacation was able to start immediately. Here is a quick over view from our stay, which included elementary, junior high, just out of college, sibling’s and spouse’s. Outside: Parking: 7+ cars comfortably parked on the property. Garden: Whitney invited us to use the produce, which we enjoyed. Pool/Farmhouse: There is a second fridge here which we used. This structure is being restored and provided the ideal backdrop for barbeques, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit and rocking in the evening with a glass of wine or cocktail. Yard: Plenty of room for football, catch, croquet and playing. Inside/Same floor: Kitchen: Large. Very open. Gas stove, new refrigerator with double freezer, dishwasher, plenty of pots, pans, plates, cups/cutlery. Cookie sheets/measuring cups. Bar area with all essential tools, along with a wine fridge. Very helpful to have. Lots of counter/prep space. There is ample area for everyone to flow through the kitchen without stepping on each other. Dining Room: The current table is tight for 10 people, but easily made it work. Whitney is in the process of building a longer table, which will be beautiful. Lots of natural light and airflow. Living Room: Video games, movies and general “hanging out” was accomplished in the space. Sofas are extremely comfortable and more than a few naps taken. Bedrooms: Very clean. Not cluttered. Had AC if needed. Beds were comfortable. Sheets were crisp and fresh. Another bonus, the rooms are away from the main portion of the house. Therefore, those who stay up late were able to, and those who go to bed early went to sleep with no noise problems. Bathrooms: Simple, clean and plenty of towels for everyone. Washer/Dryer: This was huge due to hiking, bike riding, running and playing; we used the room. Thank you again. We will be back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Mark&Whitney

We fell in love with the Hudson River Valley and everything it has to offer including the abundance of wineries, farms, orchards, hiking trails and museums. We love the artistic community in this area and often frequent DI: Beacon, Storm King Art Center, and local galleries and festivals. We have lived across the United States from California, Chicago, Florida, North Carolina, New York City and have now decided to make the Hudson Valley our home. This area provides a coziness and certain slowness that we indulge in as city transplants.

When we found the farmhouse we instantly felt a connection and a duty to restore her to her former glory. The house and property were in quite disarray and we have/are slowly and methodically renovating our way through the house. The house boasts over 7,000 square feet of unique spaces and the grounds have an abundance of cypress trees, meandering grape vines, two ponds and a beautiful stream.

We keep the third floor apartment for ourselves and our two loving dogs; we may be on site during your stay to tend to the gardens and maintenance of the house. If you need assistance with anything we are available 24/7 either through Airbnb or direct text to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

Marlboro is a wonderful little gem of a town. The little downtown has Franks Deli, Brix Gastropub, The Falcon Music Venue, The Raccoon Saloon... what more do you really need?

For those seeking to explore the rich local heritage of art & history during your stay, there are many institutions within a short drive from the house:

DIA: Beacon is a renowned contemporary art museum directly across the river.

Storm King Art Center is an open-air museum with the largest collection of contemporary outdoor sculptures in the U.S.

Washington’s Headquarters
The Vanderbilt Estate
The Roosevelt Estates
U.S. Military Academy at West Point
Culinary Institute of America
(The brief list here is just some of our favorites; we'd be happy to guide you to many more if that is what interests you)

We are close to the Walkway Over the Hudson and the Hudson Valley Rail Trail, and not far from Lake Minnewaska and Bear Mountain. We are on the Shawangunk Wine trail which includes the following Marlboro wineries: Benmarl, Glorie Farm Winery, Stoutridge Vinyard, Magnanini Winery and Nostrano Vineyards.

A few breweries in the area are Weed Orchards, Bad Seed Cider, Newburgh Brewing Company, Hudson Ale Works, Mill House Brewing Company, The Gluten Free Brewery, Weed Orchards, Blue Collar Brewery, North River Hops and Brewing, Obercreek Brewing Company, 2 Way Brewing Company, Hudson Valley Brewery, and Keegan Ales.

Attractions for families include the Children’s Museum in Poughkeepsie, the historic Gomez Mill House Museum, Rocking Horse Ranch, SSplashdown Beach Waterpark, Stony Kill Farm and Environmental Education Center

What makes this property unique

At night, there is almost no light pollution, and the stars in the sky overhead are stunning... You will hear: frogs in the pond, roosters from the farms down the road, coyotes up on the mountainside, owls in the grove of birch trees, tractors driving past, the orchard horn at noon, Canadian Geese flying overhead... and at night: silence (punctuated softly once in a while by the train whistle from across the river)
