Windrift Hall, a historic manor house dating back to 1795, is situated atop a hill surrounded by 14 acres of pristine natural landscape, overlooking a private pond, gardens, stonewalls, meadows, woods, and a gently flowing creek.
The facility accommodates 14 guests, featuring 5 bedrooms with 10 single beds and 2 queen-size beds, 2 bathrooms, a powder room, a library, a gracious center hall, and a beautiful country kitchen. Located in the Hudson Valley, within 2 hours of NYC and 20 minutes from Hudson and Albany.
The house is filled with an eclectic mix of art and antiques that reflect the origins and artistic backgrounds of the European owners, as well as their love for design and craftsmanship. The 1200 sq ft pavilion overlooking the pond is an amazing place to retreat, recharge, celebrate, and expand your horizons.
From the comfort of your deck chair, you might see a blue heron landing gracefully on the pond or observe the birds circling in midair. Spring is a beautiful time to see the gardens and wildflowers bloom; in summer, you might cool off with a swim in the spring-fed pond and enjoy meals in the shade of the 250-year-old maple tree. In the fall, there’s an explosion of color with spectacular foliage, and winters are perfect for lounging in front of any of the five fireplaces.
