NEW: Chic Modern Barn Style Home in Fun Area

Stissing Mountain Cottage is a newly built, voluminous barn style retreat minutes from Upstate’s most iconic restaurant and the weekend polo scene. Perfectly positioned in a scenic wooded area but close to the boutique town of Rhinebeck, everything is on hand for a charming and easy Upstate escape.

Blending modern space with squishy sofas and an easy to use “press and de-stress” gas fireplace, comfort is everywhere. The open layout, warm natural materials, and luxurious elements offer a restorative but still exciting space.

The home features three serene bedrooms, two on the main level and the primary situated privately upstairs. Both bathrooms are well stocked with toiletries, super soft towels, and hairdryers. (Both are shower-only; baby and toddler bath options are provided.)

For dining, you’re a short drive from the standout Stissing House (please book in advance), as well as the vibrant scenes in Rhinebeck and Sharon, Connecticut. Or stay in and enjoy the home’s spacious, well-equipped kitchen with coffee bar and casual seating.

Outside, a large patio and a flat, play-friendly garden offer family and gathering options. With a BBQ, fire pit, lounge seating, and soft lighting, it’s an ideal setting for relaxed evenings under the stars.

As with all Upstate Place homes, Stissing Mountain Cottage is thoughtfully equipped for families, with essentials like a pack ’n play and highchair—making stays with little ones easy and comfortable.

Perfect for families or groups of friends, Stissing Mountain Cottage is a warm, stylish base for enjoying the best of the Hudson Valley!

PLEASE NOTE:
RENTAL AGREEMENT:
Our insurance, local permitting, and licensing require all guests to sign a rental lease agreement. This will request your full name, email, and contact phone number and must be completed within 48 hours of booking (or immediately for same-day reservations).

CANCELLATION & TRAVEL INSURANCE:
For added peace of mind, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance, either through the OTA at checkout or via a third party. Travel insurance may provide reimbursement for covered events such as illness, delays, work conflicts, or weather-related disruptions. Please confirm coverage details directly with your provider. We are unable to offer cancellations, trip changes, or refunds outside of our stated cancellation policy and will refer guests to their travel insurance if plans change. Our goal is for you to enjoy a smooth, stress-free stay.

UTILITY OUTAGES:
Upstate New York’s weather and tree-lined landscape (with primarily overhead power lines) can occasionally lead to outages. We do not assume responsibility for interruptions to electric, water, or Wi-Fi service and do not issue refunds for outages. Emergency supplies are provided, and this home has a generator. If an outage exceeds 8 hours, we will allow a cancellation without penalty.

WEATHER & WINTER CONDITIONS:
Winter may bring snow, ice, and hazardous driving conditions. AWD or 4WD vehicles are strongly recommended, and tire chains may be advisable during storms. Driveways are typically plowed at 3”+ accumulation, though exact timing cannot be guaranteed due to weather and limited crew accessibility.
Snow shovels and pet-safe salt are provided. This driveway is relatively flat and generally easy to navigate.

TRAVEL INFO:
As we do not provide weather-related refunds, we recommend monitoring conditions through 511NY, New York State’s official real-time system for traffic, road closures, and weather updates via phone, web, or app.

FIRE PIT:
The outdoor fire pit is available spring through fall. In winter, it may be inaccessible due to snow coverage. For safety reasons, fire pits are positioned a distance from the house, and safe winter access cannot be guaranteed.

ANIMALS, PESTS & BUGS:
This is a rural property surrounded by farms, woods, and wildlife. You may see deer, eagles, bears, chipmunks—or hear coyotes and foxes at night. As with any countryside setting, insects and small wildlife (including mice, flies, ants, bees, snakes, and ticks) may be present. Keeping doors closed and food properly stored helps prevent unwanted visitors. Tick repellents (Tick Wise, Repel, or OFF) are provided, and all homes receive routine pest control. However, complete prevention in a natural environment is not possible.

PRIVACY & MAINTENANCE:
Guests have full access to the property except for any locked closets, basements, or garages (if applicable). Seasonal maintenance staff may occasionally access exterior areas for essential services such as lawn care, pool maintenance, pest control, trash collection, or snow plowing. While we aim to schedule these visits between stays, this is not always feasible and they may need to work during your stay. Staff will never enter the home without authorization.

CLEANING GUARANTEE:
Our professional housekeeping team exceeds Airbnb’s cleaning standards, and we stand behind their work. A time-stamped video is recorded after each cleaning. We do not issue refunds for minor concerns reported during a stay; instead, we will gladly send housekeeping within 12 hours of notification to address any issue.

EASY BREEZY CHECK-OUT:
We keep check-out simple and appreciate your help with the following:
• Please take out trash to prevent odors and pests.
• Load and start the dishwasher if used.
• Extinguish all fires and fuels; cover the BBQ once cooled.
• Winter: set heat to 60°F.
• Summer: set AC to 70°F.
• Turn off lights and ensure all windows and doors are closed and locked.
Please respect all house rules listed in the guidebook provided, as well as the privacy of this quiet community.
