This home was a finalist in the 2025 AvantStay Awards, our annual celebration of top-tier stays. Welcome to River House, an AvantStay home! Follow a one-mile-long private driveway through groves of Walnut and alongside the Corlear Creek to reach this expansive estate. Upon entry, you’ll find 19th-century oak floors, antique brick from the old Athens brickyard, floor-to-ceiling windows, and huge dining and living rooms designed for large, cheerful gatherings. The corner game room invites your group to gather around the pool table and cozy up by the brick fireplace. When it’s time to unwind, head to the master bathroom, where a freestanding bathtub overlooking the water showcases the best views in the house. Outside, a river-side pool and a great lawn leading directly to the sandy beach on the Hudson give you plenty of opportunities to spend your days in the sun. Enjoy! Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York’s Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area’s rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there’s a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between. Experience Hudson Valley, AvantStay style. ​​​​​​​Home truths: \- Please note that we require a security deposit of $1000 which will be collected after the booking has been made. \- This home is a historic home and therefore the flooring may be uneven in some places, and there is a spiral stair inside. \- Third-floor catwalk has large openings in rails. \- The spiral staircase to the fourth floor has balusters of more than 4" \- This home allows pets for a fee.

We reached out with some questions before our stay and never received a response, many of the outlets didn’t work and the house could have used an extra cleaning before we arrived but overall we had a great time. ##### Margot M.

AMAZING FAMILY REUNION - WE WANT TO COME BACK We loved the place. The views in the morning and at sunset were breathtaking. The lake in front was amazing. The house itself was in great condition, so many rooms for our large 20+ group and the way the house is set up encouraged everyone to bond across multiple living rooms Great swimming pool and kayaking was available. We really got to bond as family and everyone wants to come back. Our bonding was enhanced as everyone just loved the environment, Thank you again for doing a superb job looking after the house and its premises and making our stay GREAT. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor M., New York City, NY, USA 4 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Long Weekend! 20 of my friends and I enjoyed this home over a long summer weekend. It was perfect — queen/king sized beds for everyone; big yard for lawn games and a slip and slide; and a pool, hottub, and fire pit perfect for a group hangout. The property is extremely private, but the property manager is just a text away and very responsive. We’ll be back! ##### Taylor M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith S. 18 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family weekend The house was perfect for our family of 17 members, age range 19 to 86 years. We loved the ping pong table and the shuffleboard table. We missed having a workable fireplace. That would be a good addition. ##### Judith S. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike C. 10 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Epic bachelor party We had an amazing bachelor party weekend at this place. The views of the Hudson (which we were able to kayak out on thanks to the kayaks provided by the property), the lounging by the pool, the backyard games on the sprawling lawn, the grilling on the huge deck, the poker game around the enormous dining room table, the hours spent in the game room, all of it was just a great time at a truly unique property. The only hiccup was that the water went out on the first day due to an issue with the water well but the property manager responded immediately and came with hired help to fix it. We will talking about this trip for years to come! ##### Mike C.
