About this property

A unique opportunity to sleep and relax overlooking the majestic Hudson River only one hour from the great cultural center of New York City. Located on a quiet street that ends at an entrance to the Palisades State Park with a 5 mile bike/hiking trail along the Hudson. Very unique location with spectacular river views. You can visit the museums and theater of NYC and come home to hike and relax and listen to the sound of the river. There are stairs down to the Hudson River with a shared beach area with a patio and the use of a canoe and kayak. The river has strong currents so you must use provided life jackets for any swimming or boating activities. The house is a 5 minute drive from the Village of Haverstraw and 15 minutes from Nyack, with its charming shops and restaurants. Bear Mountain & Harriman State Park are within a half hour drive with a myriad of amazing hiking trails.

Great stay

I enjoyed very much all the artwork, plants and many books in the home. It was very cozy and comfortable to stay in on a rainy day. We liked walking to the end of the street to the park in the mornings. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Vacation Stay

The home was very comfortable and was a pleasant stay. We stayed for 10 days, and it had all the amenities you would need for an extended vacation. Enjoyed the view from the deck, the hot tub and beach. The place is a great spot if you are wanting to go into New York City. There is a trail right down the street which is great for running and biking. We would stay there again when visiting New York.

Nice getaway

We enjoyed our stay here- it was an eclectic house with lots to do. There were a few negatives, the house was close to the quarry (which smelled), the hot tub jets were weak, and we got bit up like crazy by something despite wearing bug spray, we think mites (possibly from hanging out on the deck at night?). But we felt like the house was fun and recommend it if you don't mind the negatives I mentioned. We did everything from canoeing in the Hudson, walking on the nearby trail, using the hot tub, cooking, and hanging on the deck. All the things we needed to stay for a week were there in the house. We loved the peach tree and the fresh herb garden too, its not too often you stay at VRBOs that have fresh/live plants.

Hot tub and views

The surrounding area is nothing to write home about, but the hot tub and views of the Hudson were why we booked, and that's exactly what we got. The host was lovely, and the property was very clean when we arrived. There are a lot of stairs, including down to the hot tub, so that's something to be aware of before booking. This location was a good hub for local day trips to Westchester County, Tarrytown, Stony Point Battlefield, Legoland, and Bear Mountain State Park. Harriman State Park is also nearby, as are the Nyacks and the Palisades Mall. The full kitchen had a full size refrigerator and freezer, and I'm really happy there was a dishwasher, as we ended up using lots of mugs sipping tea and looking out over the Hudson.

What a view!

Just an excellent place. Very nicely laid out. Joan was very responsive. The art at the house was nice. The view of the river from the back deck is spectacular. We would definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Joan Harmon

My husband, Jim & I both grew up in the midwest- he by a lake & me on a farm but we are both artists and professors and work in Manhattan- this property made it possible for us to have it all.

Why they chose this property

The proximity to the cultural center of NYC with a State Park trail along the Hudson and a private deck and hot tub with magnificent river views- this is unique and very special. The addition of a ferry service to the Metro North makes country/city living a dream.

What makes this property unique

The majestic views of the Hudson and the sound of the water as you sleep at night and the chance to walk by the river made me fall in love- its all about the magic of the riverand having a State Park trail along the river at the end of our block.
