Renovated 1850's barn with 3 bedrooms and an ample loft space that can serve as a fourth. The house also has a large rec room with cathedral ceiling buttressed by hand-hewn beams, well-equipped kitchen, Scandinavian wood stove, sauna, home gym, and projector. Outside: 2 private decks with amazing views of Overlook Mountain, private grill, private hot tub. On property: shared tennis court, swing set, fishing pond, heated pool (summer only). 2 hours from NYC, 10 min. to Woodstock & Saugerties.

The space
This 12-acre property is truly unique, with so much to do on site you will never want to leave. Perfect for a family or several couples wanting to get away from the city. Wilderkill includes fields, a fire pit for bonfires, a stream, a pond, a cedar jungle gym with swings and a slide, a sandbox, a tennis court, a heated outdoor pool (Summer only). The barn has two decks, incredible mountain views, a private outdoor grill, a private outdoor fire pit, a private hot tub, and a private sauna. Inside the barn, there are custom furnishings throughout. Upstairs you will find an enormous rec room with a pool/ping-pong table, a baby grand piano, multiple workspaces, and lots of space to relax or host a dinner. Also upstairs in the barn is a bathroom with a shower/bath; the kitchen space, which is replete with a Scandinavian wood stove and sitting area; and two bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with two twins. Above the two bedrooms is a large loft space that can be used for relaxing or for sleeping additional guests, since it has a queen bed. Downstairs in the barn you will find a home gym/screening room with an elliptical machine, a weight machine, a projector and bean bags. You can use the space to work out, do yoga, or screen sports games, movies, and exercise classes. Also downstairs is a private bedroom with a queen bed, desk, and couch; a bathroom with a shower; and a garage space with a refrigerator that can store ski equipment, hiking gear, and extra provisions. We strongly prefer to rent to families & small groups of adults. Please, no parties!

Where I went to school: Parsons School of Design
My work: Art Director
Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, Maria Cristina grew up in a large, loving family that taught her the joy of gathering. After moving to New York City two decades ago to pursue design, her work and curiosity have taken her around the world—from biking through Kyoto’s temples to collaborating with students in the Dominican Republic, and even getting married by a sailor priest in a small Baltic fishing village. These experiences shape her approach to hosting, where every stay is crafted with care.
