Fabulous Home w/ FP & hot tub in Stone Ridge

Hi, I’m Anna. I’m so glad you’re here, and I’d love to welcome you to Timekeeper’s Retreat! Here are a few things I think you’ll especially enjoy about the house.

Highlights: If a fun, spacious multi-level family home with an outdoor kitchen, hot tub, pond, and privacy, are on your stay wish list, then this is absolutely the home for you.

It’s hard to choose where to start with this property; inside is top notch, the outside is beautiful, and the location is perfect - few properties in rural upstate allow you to walk to a bar and restaurant, but also be in a quiet oasis away from it all.

Recently renovated, this large family home will delight you with a mix of both warm contemporary and whimsical decor, super comfortable beds, and light and bright rooms. A wood stove, two offices, a large modern kitchen, walls of glass and a separate apartment with full private walk out access offers one of the most flexible homes for a multi generational set up that we have seen.

The main level proffers a fabulous double height ceiling living, dining and kitchen area, all anchored by a fireplace and direct access to one of the many large decks. This level also has the primary bedroom with glass doors providing a view of the pool and its own deck area. An en-suite bathroom with gorgeous shower and huge vanity completes the space. Along the hallway is a second bedroom with queen bed and a hallway bathroom with a tub / shower combo.

Upstairs is the first of two offices, leading through to a super fun bedroom with dog motif wallpaper and twin beds. This upper level also has its own bathroom.

Downstairs, the lower terrace level can be both accessed internally (the stairs are fairly steep) and through its own private entrance. This huge apartment style space has a full kitchen, full bathroom with easy walk in shower, bedroom with queen bed, media and game area with foosball and karaoke machine, and the second office with a twin daybed (with a proper mattress) for the 9th guest.

In designing the outside space the owners have thought of everything and spared nothing - pool, terrace, dining, sunbathing, hot tub, kitchen (with sink, fridge, rotisserie and cook top). There’s also a lovely aerated pond with a dock.

For lunch or dinner, the 20 minutes to Kingston will get you into the areas best restaurants or just a little further north, 25 minutes to Woodstock. But for many the absolute best part is that Upstate Taco, the famed Mexican restaurant and bar, is within an easy 5 minute stroll of the house. This super fun local spot is a must, and a big favorite of the owners.

Guests can also take advantage of the homes’ well stocked kitchen, where the professional grade appliances will no doubt contribute to the makings of many great meals. For true relaxation, we have a rota of private chefs who can come and cook something spectacular for you.

Like all Upstate Place properties, this home has a pack n’ play, highchair, baby bath etc. available to make even the smallest guest’s stay welcoming and easy.

The house would be ideal for a family or a group of friends vacationing together. It is also very well suited for a multi generational family, as it has a separate ground floor apartment with private, easy access.

PLEASE NOTE -
Cancellation and Insurance: We encourage all our guests to purchase travel insurance, whether through the OTA when offered at the time of booking, or through a third party. We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy.

Rental Agreement: Please know that we require all guests to sign a rental lease agreement.

Utility Outages: As Upstate New York can see its’ fair share of inclement weather and is primarily a tree rich area with overhead power lines, please know we do not assume responsibility for utility outages during your stay. If electric, water or Wi-Fi service is impacted, we do not refund. We do keep emergency supplies at the house, and, of course, if an outage were to persist for longer than 8 hours we would allow a cancellation without penalty.

Weather: During the winter months there may be ice, snow, and hazardous conditions. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. Please ask about the plowing schedule for the house. Most driveways are plowed at or before 3” or more accumulation but we cannot guarantee an exact time for the plowing as the crews are often unreachable and out of cell service areas for much of the day.

This house has a steep / and or long driveway and extra caution is warranted. Please allow extra time when departing. Upstate Place does supply snow shovels and pet-friendly salt at each of our properties for extra safety.

Animals and Pests: The house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. Although it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. All our properties benefit from scheduled pest control, but we are in a natural environment and we can not fortify the houses completely.

Cleaning Guarantee: We are very proud of our housekeeping team who go beyond both Airbnbs General Cleaning Guidelines and Airbnb’s Enhanced Cleaning Process recommendations. Because of their hard work and high professional standards, we are able to guarantee our cleaning to our guests. We take a time stamped video of the cleaned property and do not refund for any small issues found during a stay. Instead, should a guest feel that something is amiss or needs additional attention, we will gladly have a housekeeper attend the home to take care of it within 12 hours of an issue being reported.

Pets: This property only allows dogs.

This home may have weekly pool, lawn, and trash services as well as monthly pest control service. Service providers may access the exterior front yard, back yard, and pool deck during your stay to ensure the home is properly maintained.

Additional Fees: Depending on their requirements, guests will be subject to the following additional fees
Doge fees - $100 per pet per stay
Pool Heat - $75 per day or $450 per week
Hot tubs - no additional charge
Please respect all house rules listed in the guidebook provided, as well as the privacy of this quiet community.
