The Schoolhouse, Rhinebeck Perfection

What’s not to love? A gorgeous, architecturally interesting 1830’s schoolhouse, sited along a quiet lane, but within minutes of the bustling, chic town of Rhinebeck. This home offers every comfort, delivered in a warm visual hug.

All on one level with two large comfortable living spaces, a chef level kitchen, two bedrooms that are spacious yet cozy, and two spa like bathrooms will all provide the vacation experience you are looking for.

Enter into the hallway, originally the schools’ cloakroom, where storage and the hidden laundry room are located. Immediately in-front is the large living room, grounded by a beautiful fireplace, television, and offering a center point to the homes many areas and wings. Each wing has a bedroom with queen size bed and a bathroom, one with a shower, the other with a bath / shower combo.

The rear of the home has a jewel of a kitchen, with top grade appliances and polished stone counters. A small seating area is adjacent for chatting with the cook. This is open to the large and airy great room, with a big dining table and further comfortable seating.

The garden - the property is just over one acre - is private and soothing, with a fire pit, patio, and adorable exterior lighting.

Rhinebeck village is minutes away, as is the Ferncliff Forest Preserve for great hiking and fishing, the Northern Dutchess Botanical Garden for plant enthusiasts, and for history buffs, the FDR Presidential Library and the Vanderbilt Mansion.

Come spend your recess with us! We look forward to welcoming you to The Schoolhouse.

Great home base to explore!
Great location to explore Rhinebeck, Red Hook, Tivoli, Kingston and the surrounding area. We hiked everyday on well-marked trails nearby, visited breweries and wineries, and had great meals in Rhinebeck. The house was perfect— separate “wings” with bedrooms and bathrooms and many places to sit and chat or read a book. The kitchen has everything you need for a short stay with condiments/teas/coffees to make things easy. Anna was super welcoming and responsive in our communications. Would definitely recommend for a weekend stay.

Schoolhouse Rocks!
Beautiful, spacious, historic renovated schoolhouse, well appointed furnishings. Giant great room off the back and out to an expansive green which is NOT fenced enough to let your pet run loose, which they say in write up (our dog loved the great room to play in). A few things: If the weather is inclement, the firewood on the property along the fence will be wet. We arrived in rain and had sun the next two days but wood was wet, and could not locate any bagged firewood in Rhinebeck, so could not use the firepit, recommend you bring a bag in case. Note that it is in an off-the-beaten path location, wooded property, with a 7-minute drive into to town, which was easy-peasy; but it is an hour walk by foot. Another reviewer mentioned the lack of shades throughout (except for bedrooms and bathrooms). It gives an airy feel in the day, not so much at night. I would recommend to the owners that they put roll down shades in the TV room area and front vestibule. The place is fully stocked with household/kitchen items. Board games. Great water pressure in the bathrooms. Firepit area was nice, but again, bring a bag of wood if you want to do a fire, just in case. Beds very comfortable. Owners were very communicative. All in all, we had a great time with our fur-baby. A last note on Rhinebeck: We have been coming up here for 20 years. The town is dog friendly. However, the Mayor recently put into effect garbage rules. Every can in town said, no dog waste. You have to take it with you.

Quiet country retreat
This is a lovely, slightly quirky, restoration just minutes from the charming town of Rhinebeck. There's plenty of room to relax and spread out so couples or foursomes have space. We loved that it was convenient (morning pastries and coffee from Bread Alone) but also felt quiet and rural. A few things to note: An earlier review mentioned no window blinds. Those would be nice for the bedrooms - it feels a little exposed and while waking up with morning light was nice, it would also have been nice to sleep in if we wanted. Natural daylight is good, especially in the sunroom but evening reading lights would have helped a lot. We are readers on vacation. Air conditioning is limited to overhead fans and windows that, because of their age, can be difficult to open. We brought a small fan and were glad we did.

School house gathering
This property is not only scenic, but also therapeutic in its ability to provide gathering spaces. From the exceptional kitchen, to the large open dining area, to the fire pit (wood provided), we enjoyed getting together and reconnecting in a beautiful and peaceful setting. This would have been ideal for our dogs as well, with their HALO collars which allow them multiple geo-fences. The only disappointments were that the fireplace is not operable, and the outside camp lights around the firepit were also not operable. Everything else was first class and the staff were easy to contact as well as quick to respond.
