non-luxury 4 star property in great location with huge yard
Beth, the manager, is great but the property lacked a cottage room because of a wet carpet and a musty order that made it inhabitable (they did refund 10% thankfully). There was a leak in a shower drain on the second floor that must have caused a horrible smell in the TV room below because they used an unpleasant artificial fragrance to cover it up. This smell made the TV room unusable for the adults. The air conditioning was very inefficient during hot days in the mid to upper 80s. In general the lighting was dark. We gathered in the small sitting room with the vinyl record player where there was adequate light. There was an eclectic record collection that was appreciated by all. The kitchen was fine and all the beds were comfortable. Ignoring the routine maintenance issues that led to water leaks ,the property is 4 star in my opinion and not considered luxury.

Gorgeous property
This property was perfect for a group of ten 30 year old friends with plenty of room for more. We had two dogs with us and they loved waking up to the enormous yard every day. We had a small issue with the heat and hot water the first day but Beth was so quick to send someone to fix it and went out of her way to bring us baked goods as an apology. I was very impressed by how well kept this house was and how much the management/owner cares about pleasing the tenants. It was pretty much fully stocked, we never had to buy any toilet paper or any cleaning supplies etc. Overall so satisfied with the stay and would absolutely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Kanaga

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Beth Kanaga. As the property manager for Blue Sky Barn, I'm delighted you're considering this exceptional and comfortably elegant country estate! Originally from Monmouth County, NJ, I moved to Hudson in 2008. A few years later, I realized a long-held dream when I launched Bushnell Guest House, a bed and breakfast set in a historic mansion. It's now my privilege and pleasure to help a friend (and former B&B guest) achieve his own vision for Blue Sky Barn!

Why they chose this property

This property has it all: easy access from the Taconic Parkway, close proximity to Hudson, and the perfect home base for sightseeing, recreational activities and destinations like Bard College, Tanglewood and Woodstock. The photos, while lovely, don't fully convey the warmth and elegance of this unique house and grounds. Come experience them for yourself and make lasting memories with family and friends.

What makes this property unique

Why split up your group at scattered inns and hotels when you can all stay together here? Save and have fun by cooking meals together in the charming brick kitchen. Enjoy each others' company in the many cozy gathering spaces. Drink in the sunshine with your coffee each morning, and savor pre-dinner cocktails in the lush garden. In this haven from life's hectic pace, you'll sleep more soundly, laugh more often and be truly present with loved ones.
