Main Lodge
In addition to the private Wyoming, Tumbleweed, Juniper and Sweet Violet rooms, the main lodge features several sunny, communal areas for relaxing, socializing and eating (sometimes all at once). Meet your fellow guests in the dining room and adjoining kitchen while snacking on breakfast; later, curl up by the fire with a glass of wine, play an old-fashioned board game or watch a classic movie.

The Carriage House is a Vacation Rental
The Carriage House is a renovated barn just a short walk from the main lodge, featuring two unique bedrooms, and private bathrooms, the Morningside and the Sunset. The house can comfortably accommodate four people, or it is a pleasant space for just two or a small family. Just in case there is a fold out Murphy bed for an extra person, extra charges would apply.
The generous size living room with a gas fireplace, has wood paneled walls and high ceilings with skylights. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, gas stove/convection oven and a refrigerator/freezer. There are conveniences such as a coffee pot, electric tea kettle and lots of utensils plates and some pots and pans too.
You are on your own to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner here if you would like, but be aware there are many wonderful restaurants in the Village of Rhinebeck only a mile and a half away. These restaurants will also provide take out and a few will deliver your lunch and dinner choices. Please go to Enjoy Rhinebeck for ideas and suggestions.
There are books, games and an old DVD/video collection for quiet nights. Guests have lots of light and space in the Carriage House. The Morningside and Sunset rooms each offer their own unique character. Each room has a private patio with views of the surrounding pastures where the horses graze, informal pollinator gardens, and trees with lots of color in the fall and shade in the summer.

Our Environmental Footprint
We COMPOST all food scraps, which eventually turn into great soil for our gardens or snacks for the chickens, horses and donkeys. We recycle plastic, glass, aluminum, and paper. We urge you to enjoy our own natural well water and avoid purchased water in plastic bottles. We never put poisons or weed killers on the lawn or gardens. Hence, there is a healthy frog, toad, and bird population for you to enjoy watching and listening to, as we haven’t killed all the insects!
We ask you to tell us if you wish to use your towels more than one day to save water and energy, but we’ll certainly abide by your wishes if you want them changed daily.
We GROW our own herbs, and some fruits and vegetables in season as well as our own eggs. We offer locally grown and made produce, milk, fruit, jams, baked goods etc. as often as possible, and we can direct you to great farm stands, farmer's markets, and restaurants which offer the same. We pride ourselves on making our breakfasts the old fashioned way...from scratch, wholesome and plentiful. You will enjoy the difference!
Smoking is not permitted.
