Welcome to Madrigal House, a 25-acre 4-bedroom 1850s estate surrounded by farmland but only minutes from Germantown, Hudson, Tivoli and more. Relax across 3000 sq feet of space with 12' ceilings, custom furnishings, luxury bedding, fine art and great wifi. Host dinner in a fully equipped kitchen with ingredients from the local farmstand, or have a cocktail by the fire in our "Crane Room." Explore the pond and grounds to meet local heron, mink and more or take in sunset views over a 2-acre pond.
The space
Featured Architectural Digest 11/2022
Madrigal House was envisioned as a New Orleans style estate in the Hudson Valley, with sumptuous furnishings, unexpected pieces and world-spanning art around every corner. Its grand, interconnected spaces are perfect for entertaining with friends and loved ones, but each room has also been designed with nooks and corners for curling up in a book or enjoying a quiet conversation. A bright kitchen feels like the center of the home, with perfect views over the pond to enjoy with your morning coffee. The fully wallpapered "crane room," dining room and "secret" bedroom bring a riot of color, drama and luxury - and will make you want to linger. Bedrooms are designed with quiet and comfort in mind, with black-out shades and spaces to easily take a quick Zoom. 17 large original windows invite daylight from all exposures and invite you to spy on deer or birdlife meandering the property. Step out the backdoor to a high deck comfortably furnished to take in the sunset.

Other things to note

PRIVACY
Madrigal House is in a small quiet neighborhood. However, this is a house from 1859 and is not sound proofed from room to room - so you may hear your friends/family in other rooms. During early spring, you may hear tractors along the road during the day as the prepare for planting season.
HEATING & COOLING
Madrigal House is 160 years old with two separate HVAC systems - one that heats/cools the bedrooms upstairs and a second that heats/cools the main floor and finished basement. However, the temperature in some rooms can get a bit cool during winter so we provide remote controlled space heaters and extra blankets.
PLEASE BE KIND TO OUR SEPTIC SYSTEM
In the bathroom, only flush toilet paper. Kindly dispose all other products into the trash, even the feminine "flushable” ones.
CAUTION: Please keep out of lake and refrain from walking along creek as you could fall and injure yourself.
GUEST VERIFICATION: If a guest has no reviews yet, we require Airbnb verifications of government ID, photo, phone, email, and to be at least 25 years of age.
