★Tiny House Cottage 35 min to NYC on Hudson River★ | Cottage in Hastings-on-Hudson

FREE driveway. A few blocks to, but not on the Hudson River. Super charming, slightly quirky private Shangri-La w/free range chickens in the artistic & quaint Rivertowns, 35 min. from NYC. The Tiny House escape is reminiscent of sleep away camp, though tastefully curated w/eclectic art & furnishings. Sleeping loft nest w/8 step ladder or pull out sofa bed. E-fireplace inside. Firepit outside. Stars galore. 2 patios, yard, hammock, gardens.
THE SPACE
You'll need to be a go with the flow, NON-PICKY about the particulars type to enjoy this ever-so-slightly, suburban rustic cabin/cottage/Tiny House. This means the vibe is not high end-- it’s quirky, comfortable and casual.
The Tiny House will never pass a white glove clean test either. While it’s cleaned and maintained every day, it's self-built and thus imperfectly perfect. That’s part of its stylish charm in not being a hermetically sealed, cookie cutter, run-of-the-mill hotel room with granite countertops, fake hardwood flooring, and plastic fruit bowls.
In other words, it's not Buckingham Palace!
If you love and want high-end luxe, ringing a silver bell for room service or summonsing the maid to make your bed with pre-starched sheets (sometimes we like all that too), there are very nice boutique and/or standard hotels in the area. Otherwise, come on over! We love nothing more than hosting nice, friendly, easy-going people like you.
EXTRAS:
*Early check in or late check out is available for a $25 fee to reschedule the cleaning service.
*Dog walking service $25 a walk/per hour IF available WITH advance notice. This is not guaranteed but a very good possibility. PS- We love dogs!
PARKING: Free 24/7 private driveway parking! This is a 100 percent, TOTAL rarity in the area!
MORE DEETS:
The Tiny House is stand alone, meaning it's totally separate from the main house. The only thing that's shared is part of the back yard. Think tucked away SUBURBAN getaway. Again, it is not a cabin in the woods.
The village of Hastings-on-Hudson (and all of the Rivertowns) are true charming gems! We hope you stay, shop and dine here! One guest came all the way from Boston just to check out our local record store!
Our top-rated and much-celebrated Saturday farmer's market by the train station is a must do! Live music and groove!
Hastings also boasts a real speakeasy, eclectic restaurants, live music venues, wine bars, a pub with classic shepherd's pie types of selections, art galleries, antiques, high-end home decor/design stores, coffee shops, an old fashioned diner where you'll be called "honey", an ice cream shop, a family-owned pharmacy and hardware store, nail and hair salons, local post office, and more.
Boo to chain stores! We don't let them come in and take over our quaint village. (See pics and curated guidebook for suggestions.)
The village, train station and Hudson River are a three minute drive or a 20- minute walk. (Take Uber or Lyft otherwise.) You can also walk for three blocks to Amjo's deli, a bodega, and gas station.
It's a great place for NYC escapees & appreciated by remote workers/business travelers needing to de-stress. Also business Zoomers, artists and writers to focus, focus, focus. Strong WiFi. Additionally favored by parents visiting their college kids, friend getaways and couples wanting time away from daily routines. Stay a night, a weekend or a month(s)! Note: The internet is high-speed, but we can not 100 percent guarantee it, just like the weather. No refunds given for either.
NOTE: The sleeping loft has a brand new full-sized bed with pillow topper. Super comfy! But- pay attention class, lol- you'll need to climb a secured 8-step ladder to access the loft/bed. It is not for the faint of heart, but is totally comfortable and cozy once you snuggle in. If loft beds aren't your thing, there's a newer pull out sofa bed with the highest-rated Consumer Reports mattress. This is not to say that it is as comfortable as a regular bed, but it's pretty great for a sofa bed.
Main room: The pull out couch, two upholstered chairs, e-fireplace, antique armoire, coffee table, small dining table/2 stools.
Kitchenette: Breakfast bar, small sink, toaster oven, microwave, 2 burner hot plate, cookware, coffee maker, and studio refrigerator.
Slate back patio: Table and chairs. Backs up to a small patch of woods. Singing birds. Big moons. Bugs. Firepit. Yard. Hammock. (It’s not all manicured and set up like a photo shoot.)
Firewood: In front of main house
BYOC: Bring your own charcoal and lighter fluid if you plan to use the outdoor grill.
Please pour water on the firepit and/or grill when done. There's an empty gallon jug under the sink.
Resident Dog: Our dog is a cute little 15-pound Havanese Poodle mix. He is often in the backyard (not in the Tiny House) and loves nothing more than making friends with guests. He will totally want to come inside, jump in your lap or beg for a sleepover party. He’s a character for sure! You can always message us to send him over (or away). Just please DON'T feed him.
Resident Hens: Feel free to say hi to them (Lucy, Oprah and Hildegard.) They are often free ranging in the backyard and also love nothing more than meeting and greeting guests.
Visiting dogs:
If you're bringing your dog, we will keep the chickens in their side yard coop at all times so no worries there. We also won't let our dog out in the fenced in backyard during your dog's stay. It’s $15 per day extra pet fee.
