The original inhabitants of these lands were the Lenape who called the Hudson River "Shatemuc," meaning "the river that flows both ways." The home's seclusion affords tranquility and connection to nature yet it is minutes from downtown Kingston. The exposed timbers, huge kitchen, enormous windows and bi-fold doors, deck, high-ceilings and spectacular finishes are one-of-a-kind. And then there's the view! The house has three beautiful floors including the basement but the basement unit is off-limits to guests unless booked as an add on (this is listed in the photos as Bedroom 4 and Bathroom 4) so you'll have access to the ground floor and second floor (and the loft in what is essentially the third floor). There is a home theater set up in the basement unit but no TV elsewhere as yet so if TV is essential, it's available by including the basement unit in your booking. GROUND FLOOR The ground floor features a mudroom, a giant kitchen, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a dining room with a beautiful burl wood dining table designed for West Elm by my friend Jess. There is also a baby lemon tree growing out of the floor next to the island with a grow light above it on an automatic timer. ENTRY/MUDROOM The mudroom is great for just that. Keep the mud there! Take your shoes off and store your coats on the beautiful brass hooks made by my friend Farrah (Light+Ladder). Lights for the whole floor and house an be activated there too. You’ll notice that if you press the smal switches there at different times of day, the color temperature of the lights will adapt and if you press them multiple times, the lights will dim or turn off. The same is true for other switches like that throughout the house. The main yellow door is big and heavy and features a beautiful but very old handset. Turn the handle counterclockwise. To lock and unlock with the key, just pull a button on the knob while doing so. The ground floor thermostat is immediately on the right as you come into the house from the mudroom. BATHROOM You also have a full bathroom with a shower that will eventually be filled with big-leafed plants which will provide privacy and allow you to feel like you're showering outside while inside. In the meantime though, no one can see from the outside unless a member of your own party walks around the outside of the house for some reason or stands at the top of the basement stairs (and the basement unit is off limits unless arranged separately with me). Further, the windows steam up creating some privacy. There is a timer switch for the exhaust fan in this bathroom. The floors are heated and temperature can be adjusted on the touchscreen. STOVE/OVEN/CAST IRON In the kitchen you'll find an induction stovetop with multiple ovens underneath. Please take care not to drop pans on the glass cooktop or to leave any burners turned on with a pan on top (the burners will not activate without a pan on top of them but without a flame, it can be easy to forget that you've left something on especially an oven so be mindful). DO NOT PLACE POTS OR PANS ON THE MARBLE OR QUARTZITE COUNTERTOPS AS IT WILL STAIN. Use one of the many available trivets or keep them on the stovetop. You'll also find the instruction manual for the stove and oven in the top right drawer next to the unit. Nothing wooden (eg. Knives with wood handles or wooden serving spoons) OR CAST IRON (eg. pots) should be put in the dishwasher. The non-cast iron pots and pans (the ones with the dimples on them) can be put in the dishwasher. UTENSILS The utensils are in a pull out drawer above the top pull out drawer opposite the sink that is accessible once you pull out the main drawer. OTHER KITCHEN APPLIANCES The kitchen also has a dishwasher, beverage fridge, cold/filtered water from the special faucet, trash and recycling and compost, and a large refrigerator/freezer. The freezer makes ice automatically from filtered water. The pantry is to the left of the fridge and silverware and plates and other pots and pans not hanging by the stove can be found in the island drawers. Note: for now, numerous construction items are temporarily being stored in some of the island drawers. COMPOST There is a small compost bin on the inside of the left cabinet door under the sink. When this is full, empty it into the large compost outside. To do this, walk around the back side of the house and empty into whichever chamber has compost unless that one is full in which case use the other chamber. LIGHTS The lights are operated from numerous switches. Many can also be operated via Siri commands. There are a few Philips hue switches too as previously described with different zones and different color temperature options if you press a switch multiple times. The one on the post by the stairs is also a dimmer if you turn the knob. You'll figure it out pretty quickly with trial and error :) FIREPLACE Feel free to make a fire in the fireplace. The knob to the right of the fireplace controls the fan speed but it will not turn on initially until the fire reaches core temperature. If you would like a full stack of firewood provided for your stay, it is an add-on charge of $75 or $40 for a half stack. SECRET BAR There is/will be a secret pull out bookshelf bar to the left of the fireplace. I have yet to finish it entirely but there will be a fixed book (perhaps a Hemingway?) that will act as a handle and a full bar behind which if you help yourself to you will need to replenish. PROJECTOR Not installed yet, but a projector and giant screen are coming will be in front of the fireplace. There is a projector set up in the basement unit though. See the basement unit description below for more on booking that if desired. SECOND FLOOR GUEST BATHROOM There is a full bathroom with a tub and hand-shower for showing at the top of the stairs accessible both from the hallway and from the guest bedroom. There is a timer switch for the exhaust fan. The floors are heated and temperature can be adjusted on the touchscreen. GUEST ROOM The guest room has a queen-sized bed and closet. The operable window is a tilt-and-turn, so you turn the handle up to tilt the window (great for if it's raining or it's windy), or you turn it sideways to open, or you turn it all the way down to close. LOUNGE There is a couch and a card table and stools and books aplenty. The tilt and turn windows operate as the others do (turn the handle up to tilt the window, turn it sideways to open, turn it all the way down to close.) The second floor thermostat is also in this room next to the stairs. WASHER/DRYER The washer and dryer are in the closet in the stairwell on the second floor. The dryer is ventless so you need to be sure to fully clean the lint filter each time otherwise it will not dry and beep an error message at you. If this happens, fully clean the lint filter and then turn the unit off and then on again. PRIMARY BEDROOM The view-de-gras... Enjoy! PRIMARY BEDROOM BATHROOM Another view-de-gras but this time from the shower :) Privacy Note: No one can see you unless it’s one of your own party at the end of the deck looking up at the bathroom. The floors are heated and temperature can be adjusted on the touchscreen. A little water does get out onto the floor when you shower but be mindful not to allow lots to come out and use a towel to dry it up a bit after to protect the heated floor. SECRET LOFT BEDROOM So where is this other bedroom? Next to the guest bathroom there is a piece of wall...that is actually a sliding door! You can use the ship propellor as a handle. Behind that you will find a custom tree ladder and a magical bedroom above :) The only way in or out is that ladder though so please be aware. Also, full-grown adults can absolutely fit up and down the ladder but it is a little tight. There is also a fun (as yet imperfect) pulley system for closing the sliding door from inside the room. DECK The deck is an amazing place to hang out and take the views and the air. There is an outdoor dining table with six chairs as well as two Adirondack chairs. There is also a small barbecue with metal utensils in the kitchen. CANOE/WATER ACCESS I am working on building much more substantial water access, but at the moment there is a canoe for use for an extra fee. The extra fee is necessary in order for airbnb to cover any liability associated with the use of the canoe. There are two paddles and two lifers. The canoe can accommodate up to four people, but if you have more than two, you’ll have to procure two additional life preservers. There are pictures in the outside section, indicating where to find the canoe. There are some small steps in the bank but they are unfinished so be careful. When you are done using the canoe, please make sure it is put back in place and turned upside down. The life preservers and paddles should be stored in the mudroom. The cost is $89 per day. The bay right outside the house is very calm, but please be aware that currents are strong in the middle of the river, so it is best to stay towards the edges and be sure that you are a reasonably strong paddler. Also note that the Hudson River is a tidal river so the area next to the boat will be muddy and difficult to traverse at low tide so it is best not to take the canoe out or back in at low tide. BASEMENT UNIT It’s possible that I may be in the basement unit during your stay. If this is the case, you’d likely not even see me besides perhaps coming and going although you probably would see my (adorable and friendly and hypoallergenic) dog Tashe, (pronounced Tosh) and of course I’d never be upstairs but want to make sure that this wouldn’t be a surprise if I do happen to be there. If this is an issue for any reason though, please let me know. I don’t want this possibility to interfere with your booking. This is why the basement unit and the projector there is off limits to guests. However, if you would like to book this too for an extra fee of $249/night, please let me know. It is listed in the photos as Bedroom 4 and Bathroom 4. You're welcome to use all parts of the house except for the basement. The basement is a separate unit that I sometimes stay in. No one else would ever be there. However if you are interested in booking the basement unit as well for an additional $199/night, please let me know. It is shown in the photos as Bedroom 4 and Bathroom 4\. The basement does have a home theater projector set up. And please, if the possibility of me being in the basement unit dissuades you from booking, feel free to let me know as we can likely figure it out. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Music library - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping on request ### Location highlights - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Composting - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Electric car charging station - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Geothermal energy - Housekeeping (on request) - Recycling - Solar energy - Unit size: 3,000 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99770000/99762500/99762500/8e0fd959.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Getaway in the woods, steps from quaint towns Kingston - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=99762500&PinnedHotelID=99762500&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33561200/33561156/w640h426x2y5-ae0673f9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning home with pool, spa, mountain views, sleeps up to 10, walk to Woodstock Woodstock - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 10 Exceptional 116 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=33561156&PinnedHotelID=33561156&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89640000/89630700/89630685/4dcec8c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chic, Private Cabin with Stunning Hudson River Views Kingston - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Gym 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=89630685&PinnedHotelID=89630685&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102530000/102523100/102523082/abda313d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Brand New House with Huge patio overlooks Esopus Creek at Lake Katrine Lake Katrine - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 17 reviews £316 includes taxes & fees 19 Jan - 20 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=102523082&PinnedHotelID=102523082&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112230000/112220100/112220093/1521ce34.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chic Farmhouse Woodstock Saugerties Skiing HITS Hiking Saugerties - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=112220093&PinnedHotelID=112220093&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Apartment (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122140000/122136700/122136661/e2213424.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 Mi to Uptown: Centrally Located Kingston Apt!
