About this property

Utopian Country Escape

Going crazy in the City? Get the heck out and into the country away from the craziness and into tranquil fun!

Mid-Century motif blends with incredible views, country quiet and relaxed luxury. I was told that this place has the most amazing view in the Capitol Region with gigantic deck, pool, two person jacuzzi tub. Minutes from Albany.

The house is powered by a 12 kilowatt solar array, out of sight in the lower meadow where you are welcome to take a look.

Note that pool is not heated before Memorial Day or after Oct 1, and is not open at all before May 15 or after Oct 15.

Note also that I do live on the property and, while I will endeavor to give you as much privacy as you would like, you will likely see me on a daily basis, maintaining the pool, deck and other common spaces. If you are looking for a completely private getaway, you should consider another property.

Thank you,
Aaron

Amazing experience!
The place is unique and serene. We came in winter which is not the best season, but you can still appreciate its natural beauty. The property is somewhat old, and definitely showed its age, but it's uniquely designed and well equiped. The host Aaron made us feel at home with lots of thoughtfulness. We thoroughly enjoyed our shory stay on our short vacation. Thanks Aaron!

Ideal quiet getaway
My partner and I spent a short week away here. The house was unique, property was beautiful and quiet. It was the perfect place for a getaway, we were able to work remotely and enjoy the luxury of the pool, mountain view, etc. Aaron was an amazing host, he treated us to our favorite bagels, fruits and juice, even got us flowers. While the host is on the property we still had privacy and were given space so it was no issue at all. Would definitely come again.

Beautiful Oasis
We had a wonderful stay in Aaron's home! He was very attentive to make us comfortable and went out of his way to ensure that we had an enjoyable vacation. He was especially good with our kids and they really liked him! His pool is amazing, the views are breathtaking! It truly is an oasis, we would love to come back!
