About Ripley Hathaway
I am a landscape architect who grew up on this property. I currently live down the hill from the Carriage House and have spent most of my life along the Hudson River. I would be happy to let you know all the insider information about the Valley and steer you to the best farms and farm stands, restaurants, movie theaters ( including a drive-in) and any other activity you wish to pursue.
Ripley Hathaway purchased this estate in 1966
Why Ripley Hathaway chose Hudson Valley
This property has remained unchanged since the mid nineteenth century when it was first developed by a Robert Livingston. When you come here you are able to relax and experience nature as it was experienced back then within the comforts of a modern home. If you are a birder you will thrill with the sights of our resident Bald Eagle couple, or our flocks of native Wild Turkeys. Other birds that are in residence include Great Blue Herons, Hummingbirds, pileated Woodpeckers and Red tailed Hawks. We keep miles of paths mowed for hikes through out the property. Pick up a picnic lunch at Otto's Market in Germantown and have a picnic by our waterfall or in our old orchards.
What makes this estate unique
You are down a gated half mile private road that is only accessible to you and the owner. Outside the home is comfortable porch furniture and Adirondack chairs on which to relax or finish that book you have wanted to read. We provide wi-fi and a flat screen tv if the weather should keep you inside along with more old fashioned pursuits such as board games and books. Air conditioned for the summer and with a wood burning fireplace for the Fall and Winter ( we provide aged wood for you to burn). There is really no bad season. Should you be attending a wedding in the area this is a great base and ideal for sharing. Our full time property manager is available in case an emergency should arise.

This is a beautiful property , close to the Hudson River, set in the woods.
We loved our stay at Northwoods. The converted carriage house has been beautifully done: fresh, new bathrooms, a fresh new kitchen, and all the modern conveniences. We stayed during a heat wave and the air conditioning was most welcome. The homeowner was most accommodating, making sure we had all that we needed. We would definitely stay at Northwoods again. Our favorite moments were walking down the hill to see the sunset over the Hudson River. I would say the only thing missing is a set of Adirondack chairs to sit in while we enjoyed the view!
The Carriage House had a lovely yard too, complete with a wonderful deck with comfortable chairs. The house is very close to Rhinebeck, Germantown and Olana. Ripley, thank you for a wonderful stay at a magical place!
beautiful property and land
Wonderful stay--absolutely beautiful home. Very clean and well maintained. The host was very helpful and kind. Would highly recommend to others! Will come back for sure.
Couldn't have picked a better place to host us for our Wedding Weekend
We stayed at the Carriage House for our wedding weekend with our wedding party, and it was a fabulous choice- it slept 12 people comfortably and it had more than enough space (and glassware) for all our needs. The space was large enough to allow both the groom and bridal party to get ready at the same venue, while providing adequate privacy and enough bathrooms/mirrors etc. The design of the house is also amazingly beautiful with exposed wood, and skylights that flood the bedrooms with light. The owners were lovely and absolutely on top of all of the little details, down to getting us distilled water for the iron and making sure we had local goat's milk soap in the bathrooms
Special Hudson Valley
The converted carriage house had everything we were looking for: character, a beautiful location, spacious accommodations for our family of six adults and three children, and easy access to many family-friendly activities. Over the long Columbus Day weekend, we picked apples locally, took the spectacular Walkway Across the Hudson and went as far afield as the Storm King Art Center. The owner greeted us when we arrived, showed us around and responded to questions/needs promptly. This was a wonderful place for a special family weekend.
Charming Hudson Valley
This old carriage house sits down a gravel road on a large property that overlooks the Hudson. The house is rural and historic, with obvious signs of its prior existence as a carriage house. But it is well equipped and has numerous comfortable sleeping spots, well suited to our extended family of 11 converging on the Valley from several directions. Even with the charming hamlets of Germantown and Tivoli a few minutes away, we ate most of our meals in the dining room, cooking on the outdoor grill and indoor kitchen. After very easy arrangements--prompt and polite exchanges with the owner, we had an unforgettable weekend together at this great rental.
Hudson Valley Splendor
I lived in this refurbished carriage house for a year. Everything works well and the property --the house and the extensive grounds --is well-tended by a brilliant manager. The house is spacious enough to have overnight guests in total comfort. In the summer the place is heavenly and when the trees thin out there is a wonderful river view. The land is very well taken care of and perfect for long (or short!) walks. The owners are fair and cooperative and I was quite sad to leave when my lease was up and my own house was ready to be reoccupied.
Map
We are located in the heart of the HUDSON VALLEY, just minutes south of Hudson,NY with its many antique shops and restaurants and 10 minutes north of BARD College and Its Performing Arts Center and 25 minutes north of OMEGA. The art lover in your group would also love touring Frederick Church's home Olana or his mentor Thomas Cole's home in Catskill, NY. Historic Homes of the Livingston Family such as Clermont State Historic Site and Wilderstein are open most days. History buffs would enjoy a day at FDR's homes including the hide away were he met his mistress and Val-Kill the home Eleanor used to get away from it all. Enjoy a concert on the lawn at the Vanderbilt mansion. Perhaps you love horses then take in a show at HITS across the river in Saugerties or a riding lesson just down the road.
