Tucked along a quiet pond on 11 private acres just minutes from downtown Hudson, The Stillwater House blends the spirit of an upstate escape with the warmth of a lived-in home. Here, your day starts with coffee on the lawn as the mist drifts across the water and winds down with the soft glow of dusk reflecting off the pond. It's the kind of place that makes you breathe a little deeper—and maybe stay a little longer. Inside, the home's classic design and comforting layout make settling in effortless. Four bedrooms and two full bathrooms offer space for families or groups, with thoughtful touches throughout: sun-drenched windows, natural textures, and just enough quirk to make it feel personal. The living room invites connection with plush seating, a piano for impromptu melodies, and a TV for low-key nights in. The open dining area is anchored by a large table where meals, conversation, and board games can stretch long into the evening. The kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with all the essentials, ready for anything from a quick breakfast to a holiday feast. Two of the bedrooms feature small but functional workspaces, perfect for remote workers or students seeking a quiet place to focus with a view. Step outside, and you'll find the home's most grounding feature: the tranquil pond just beyond the yard. Wander the walking trails that wind through meadows and woodlands on the property, or lounge by the water while soaking in the peaceful views. Lounge in the sun, fire up the BBQ, or simply sit back and watch the light change over the water. The setting is simple but transformative—ideal for nature lovers, creative souls, or anyone craving stillness. When you're ready for a bit more buzz, Hudson’s vibrant shops, acclaimed restaurants, and lively arts scene are less than 10 minutes away. Explore charming bookstores, art galleries, and antique shops. Then, return to Tipple Road, where the pace is slower, the air is fresher, and the pond is always waiting. This is more than just a place to stay—it's a place to pause, reconnect, and truly unwind. AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we're at your service! 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.
