Just minutes away from hiking and waterfalls, City Slickers Farmhouse is about 10 minutes from Woodstock, the Village of Saugerties, HITS, and the Big Pink. Hunter Mountain and Catskill are also close by.
When you are outside or the windows are open you can hear the waterfall across the street.
The City Slickers Farmhouse is a colorful, cozy two-bedroom getaway home with whimsical details designed to make you smile, and luxurious accessories to make you feel pampered.
“Buddy” wall hooks welcome you at the kitchen door to take your hat and coat, and then to make you laugh throughout the house!
The farmhouse kitchen has been modernized but not taken to the future! There are an assortment of dishes and good-quality cookware (much of it Cuisinart) so you can enjoy preparing a meal. Plus, outside there is a new gas grill (old grill is pictured); as well as a vintage picnic table and chairs, plus not-so-old lounge chairs facing the fireplace. Note - the picnic table is currently NOT USABLE and is being replaced in time for the spring season.
In the living room you’ll find an L-shaped sofa which is both wide and long enough for an adult to sleep. The coffee table opens to form a desk and also to reveal storage for games and puzzles.
The large first-floor bathroom with “standing stones” is industrial chic with a gentle rain shower.
On the second floor, the spacious primary bedroom has a new Sealy king-size mattress and two comfortable lounge chairs—perfect for reading or relaxing! There is an antique drafting board if you’re inclined to draw!
The minimalistic second bedroom has a firm queen-size mattress and a view of the rocks behind the house. Bang and Olufsen turntable platters and components adorn the walls and take you on a virtual trip to Denmark…or the MoMA!!!
Also with a view of the rocks, the upstairs TV room has a new firm sofa where a petite/ slim person (or a child!) could sleep. It has an abundance of pillows, poufs, and cozy throws for relaxing in front of the tube!
The upstairs “spa” bathroom has an original claw-foot tub suitable for soaking—no shower. Please note this quirky, charming room has a short door and low ceiling!
When you go outside it sounds like rain as you hear the waterfall from across the street. And it’s only about ten minutes from Woodstock! The Village of Saugerties has unique shops for your enjoyment. Hunter Mountain and Catskill are close by as well. Also on the plus side, the road, which was just repaved in mid-August 2023, is plowed in the winter!
You can easily fit two cars in the driveway; possibly more if they’re small and you’re careful!
New mini-splits provide AC and supplemental heat to the radiated floors
Wifi has download speeds greater than 300 Mbps. The owner has worked from here for 4 months without issues. There is not a dedicated space for working, but there are ample spots to choose from.
There is a not-so-new but functional washer and dryer you may use.
Artwork and accessories may change :)
