Perks for the Parents

This 150-year-old Hudson Valley farmhouse, owned by a former interiors editor for magazines, is set on 16 acres of land backed by a mountain preserve. The area is a great place to explore with kids. It is just 10 minutes from Windham mountain, a fantastic ski resort for families. The great room is the heart of this beautiful house, and it has WiFi, an Apple TV, and a video projector to watch movies at night, as well as smaller TV with DVD player.

Why Kids Love it

There is something to enjoy here at every age - young children ride bikes, go hiking, play in the woods and go fishing, while older children and teens can ski in the winter. It’s a great place to play. The kids rooms include an attic bedroom, best for age 6+, and a fun guest cottage with camp beds for the summer months. Toys and children’s books are provided. Bring your own portable high chair and crib if necessary. There is space for a crib, and 2 junior beds are available.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 2 nights. The house can sleep up to a maximum of 10 people + 2 babies, with various sleeping arrangements possible in bunkbeds and trundle beds. The large loft bedroom sleeps 4 and is accessible only by library ladder so is not suitable for small children or older adults. The loft is also above the great room, and is open with a half wall, so does not suit young kids if adults plan to stay up. One of the other guest rooms, with a full bed, is on the main floor and also off the great room, but has a large sliding barn door so the sound isn't as much of an issue. There are window air conditioning units in the main bedroom, kids room and larger guest bedroom and a freestanding portable unit that can be moved around the house (no central air conditioning). There may be a little poison ivy in the woods at the back of the property. Please note that for parties of 8 or more, there will be an additional $20 cleaning charge. No more than 10 guests plus 2 babies are permitted to book the house in order to uphold the integrity of the home's old bones and septic.

About the Location

The residence is in Acra, in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, around 130 miles north of midtown Manhattan. The town of Windham, 10 minutes away, has restaurants, a movie theater and antique shops. Hudson also has tons of restaurants and fantastic shops, and is just 25 minutes away across the river. Non-drivers can reach the area in 2 hours by Amtrak from Penn Station to Hudson, NY, which is 25 minutes across the rover (taxis are available, but a car is needed to get to grocery stores, restaurants, etc). Windham Mountain is fantastic ski resort for families with kids of all ages and is just 10 minutes from the property.

Accommodation Details

This 5-bedroom farmhouse centers on a 700 sqft great room and consists of original and new additions. The main bedroom has a queensize bed and is upstairs in the older part of the house. The kids' room is also on this floor and features a twin-over-full bunk bed (the top bunk is child's size), plus a pull out trundle bed. A larger queensize guest room is just below the owner's room on the ground floor. There is a full bathroom with a tub upstairs, and a second full bathroom with a walk-in shower on the ground floor. Rounding out the original part of the house is a sitting room with with a TV/Apple TV, the mudroom and the kitchen. The newer addition features a 700 sq foot great room/dining room with a dining table to sit 8-10 people. There is a small guest room on the ground floor with a full bed and is separated from the dining area by a sliding door. Over the great room there is a loft space with a bedroom with a queensize bed and two twin beds, and plenty of room to relax. The loft space is accessible by library ladder, and it's open to the great room below with no door, so it is not suitable for younger kids or older adults. Outside is an ample back field, an apple orchard, a large pergola with seating and dining area.

Style Notes

Owned by a former interiors editor for magazines, this light and bright 150-year-old farmhouse is filled with beautiful desirable homewares that they have accumulated over the years. It is light and open and unfussy, a place that all families can relax in and enjoy. We love the bedrooms in the eaves - slanted ceilings always look so intimate - and the vast open living space with a family dining table made for long leisurely meals. The residence is available for events and photo shoots (contact host directly for further details).

Catskills, Hudson Valley

The woods are lovely…

It’s no surprise that artists, musicians and writers have fallen for the Catskills. Around two hours north of New York City, this refuge from urban life is all mountains, deep forests and pretty historical towns, and is the ideal place to introduce your kids to the great outdoors. Start them young at organic farms with tractor rides, corn mazes and fruit to pick, then graduate on to forest walks, tubing, spotting bald eagles from mountain railroads and petting goats in animal sanctuaries. Skiing on Hunter Mountain, horseback riding and splashing at Zoom Flume water park are just a few of the area’s top attractions for families.

Kieran’s home is absolutely beautiful and picture perfect! There were jack-o-lanterns and fresh flowers when we arrived. There were amazing toys and games to play with. The yard is spectacular…. Apple trees, rocking chairs, a fire, grill, badminton, leaves to jump in, etc. It was picture perfect and we cannot wait to go back! Thank you!

A wonderful peaceful escape! My husband, three year old son, sister, and parents enjoyed an early August extended weekend at the Acra house. It's a lovely old farmhouse, with gorgeous shared spaces both indoor and outdoor. We loved lounging in the hammock (my son enjoyed pretending it was a ship on rocky waves), eating by candlelight at the big farmhouse table and outback in the pergola area, making s'mores, and generally resting. My son loved the bunk beds and ample toys (esp blocks and trucks). Kieran shared a lot of tips with us about restaurants and places for kids. They were a bit of a drive (20-30 min) but we expected this; we especially loved checking out Hudson. Thanks for a great stay!

The Acra residence is by far my favorite place to stay. The home is gorgeous, and perfectly suited to a long family weekend. It's incredibly clean and welcoming and has everything you need...with lovely extra touches throughout, like plenty of fresh towels, Sonos, and an outdoor grill. We can't wait to be back!

The Acra Residence is wonderful. The house is gorgeous, can't decide which room is our favorite because they were all special. The outdoors is lovely. It doesn't feel like you have to rush out to do something because stepping out and walking around the land felt like you're already exploring. Kieran was very responsive, warm and welcoming.

Stayed here for a few nights with friends and cannot express enough how lovely the home is. The property is beautiful and the home impeccable. Kieran was super responsive and provided us with a great write up of the property and things to do locally prior to our arrival. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely love to visit again.

Where do i start? The house is out of a magazine. Every touch has been thought about from the kitchen to the kids rooms. We visited with friends and despite the weather being atrocious, we all had an amazing time - even the four toddlers who we travelled with! Kieran was an amazing host and did everything to make sure we were comfy including leaving us a bottle of wine, kids toys and ideas for the area. We will be back with better weather! Matt

Had a girls weekend and this place was magical! We arrived to a nice bottle of wine from the owners. We were smitten with every detail in the home. We loved hanging outside and the view of the beautiful barn. Coffee tasted even better on the front porch sitting on the rocking chairs. We cannot wait to visit again!

Pictures simply do not do this place justice! It is large and sprawling with a big enough common area (and dining table!) for everyone to gather, but with very private/separate sleeping quarters (important for sleeping kids!). The decor is beautiful and relaxing but COZY. Waking up here felt like a dream. It’s also a really reasonable distance from both Hudson and Saugerties, so we did both easily. Kieran was such a kind and attentive host, and I have recommended this place to so many families looking for a magical little getaway in the Hudson Valley area.

We had such a lovely and magical weekend away at The Acra Residence. Kieran and her family clearly have put a lot of love and care into this home, and it's warmth and coziness was felt and appreciated by our family and friends. Kieran was very communicative, easy to reach and helpful with all the details I was curious about in planning for the weekend. We settled in immediately making great food (the kitchen is so well stocked with everything you need to cook / bake / serve!) and enjoying the many little nooks and spots in the house to curl up and play a game, read a book, or just enjoy the sunlight moving across the walls. A gem of a spot, that even in the drudges of winter was lovely and magical - I'm betting in all other times of year are awesome. Hope to visit again someday!

We loved this house and will definitely book in the future! We booked it for a ski trip for Windham Mountain. It was a convenient ride to the slopes. The house is tastefully appointed and fit two families (4 kids total, ages 2,3,4 and 12) comfortably. Everything you need to make a great dinner (fully fit out kitchen), watch a movie, or entertain kids for hours is here. There are lots of toys and games that kids of all ages enjoyed. The decor is really cozy and beautiful. We spent hours in front of the fireplace playing games (adults and kids).

My family of 7 stayed at the Acra Residence at the peak of beautiful Autumn. This is our second time and loved it as much as our first. It is clean, spacious, and feels like home. Due to the COVID situation we mainly stayed outside on the property taking walks along the trail, playing games with the children and of course camp fires in the evening. Kieran left s'more fixings which the little ones were ecstatic about. At the end of our stay we always give out awards and the 3 1/2 year old received, "BEST Marshmallow Eater". The house is so comfortable for everyone and plenty of space for adults and children. There is great hiking in the area as well as apple and pumpkin picking. After everyone arrived home my granddaughters (5 1/2 and 3 1/2) said they had so so much fun and can't wait to go again! This was the ultimate compliment for us all to hear and we all totally agree!

The house has everything you could need for a relaxing vacation with the family. My wife, two young children and I had a wonderful time playing in the yard, reading books in the hammock, and grilling out on the patio. Evening walks on the path through the backyard were a great way to wind down at the end of the day. In addition, Kieran is a wonderful host and clearly pays attention to the details, which we greatly appreciated. Five-star review.

Our second time staying at Acra and it is still by far my favorite of all the places we've rented on this or other sites. The house is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated and the kitchen particularly well stocked. Lots of other thoughtful, generous touches throughout. We all slept well! The property is just stunning - the trees, red barn, orchard and hammock - so peaceful and picture perfect. It was a treat waking up every morning and bringing a cup of coffee out to the porch to sit and enjoy the views. There is a lovely patio area also with a grill and lots of seating. The boys (aged 10) had a blast playing soccer, exploring the woody part of the property with us and looking for salamanders and worms after it had rained. Kieran is terrific - very accessible, responsive and flexible. Highly recommend.

This house was impeccable. The warmth of the decor gave this old home so much charm. Every detail was carefully curated to make guests feel at home. The dining area was large and comfortably fit our group of eight. Toys were neatly found in baskets throughout the house, so that each common area offered something fun for the kids to explore. We skied at Windham (only a 15 min drive) and the mudroom area of the home made it easy to unload all of our ski gear. The host answered all of our questions, and was kind in each and every response. We would highly recommend staying at this home, it's a perfect little getaway spot, which feels luxurious!

Loved our stay at the Acra residence. We stayed at the residence with two other families (six adults, five kids ranging from one to six years old). There was enough room for everyone, with space to spare. Very thoughtful details throughout and beautifully appointed. The kids (NYC dwellers) loved the outside area, and we built a bonfire and made s'mores. The heating in one area of the house did not work when we arrived, and the host Kieran sent a plumber to the house that day to fix it. Kieran was very a great communicator and made the entire experience seamless.

Fantastic place for big families. Backyard has amazing views and you’ll probably want to stay outside all the time, but for the interior design indoors that makes the house so appealing. Kitchen was stacked with everything possibly needed, and the place was nice and clean. Kieran was also very responsive and attentive to detail. Absolutely will come back soon!

Kieran's modern farmhouse is absolutely gorgeous. She has impeccable taste and we felt so at home there. We went with 3 other couples. Our toddler had a blast playing outside and the hammock was a bonus. Of course the kids' rooms in the house had more than enough toys to keep her occupied too. The outdoor dining space and grill was also perfect for outdoor dining and we used the outdoor fire pit for s'mores. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Kieran was an excellent host - great with communication and left a lovely basket of goodies for our arrival. Our son was delighted with a spacious home to explore and lots of toys to play with. The home is in a great location - close to the town of Hudson, which we frequented often for restaurants and shopping, and a great base for exploring the Catskills and other towns in the Hudson Valley. A true gem of a place that made our vacation such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

Kieran has done an AMAZING job making this home just stunning. Every nook and cranny is beautifully curated and perfectly equipped for a wonderful stay. We came up here for a girls weekend with 7 girls and there was plenty of room for all of us. We loved hanging out in the grand room and sitting around the large farmhouse table for meals. Watching a movie on the projector was a special treat. The only challenge is that there is only 1 full bathroom (hence the four stars on family friendliness), which is located on the second floor between two of the bedrooms. If you had multiple families staying here, bathing lots of kids could be a challenge and some adults may not like having to share one shower/bath. Other than that, I would highly recommend staying at the Acra Residence. We expect to be back!
Response from Kieran D.
Thanks so much for your review—we are so excited to say that we just completed a renovation, and added a second full bath on the first floor, with a large walk in shower, etc. to accommodate larger groups and the guest rooms on the first floor. Please look out for the photos!

Stunning house and grounds, both stylish and comfortable and very kid friendly. We were 2 families including 4 adults, 3 very spirited 7 year old boys and a 15- month old. Indoor space was more than ample and we all slept very soundly. Kids loved exploring the wide open space. Owners were kind enough to allow us to pick some apples from their trees (delicious!). We hung out mostly outdoors, at the table or by the fire pit (a big hit with the kids) or hammock. Kieran couldn’t have been more helpful and responsive. Views must be even spectacular when leaves turn in the fall. We would LOVE to go back!!

We rented the home for a week with our boys aged 3 and 5. The house was super comfortable and hands-down the best stocked house I have ever rented (and we've rented quite a bit). Lots of thoughtful touches throughout. The kids were thrilled to be able to run around and explore freely. I was thrilled to have a beautiful, peaceful place to chill out and relax without my cell phone attached to me. The projector was a huge hit with the kids and we did evening movie time and smores in the fire pit almost every night! If you like farmhouse style, you will not be disappointed. The home is perfectly decorated and full of little nooks and crannies to read one of the many books in the house. Kieran is a gracious host. We are already planning a return.

We spent an incredible weekend at the Acra Residence with our 18-month old. After some unexpected snow that week it felt like we were in a winter wonderland - plus the skiing at nearby Windham was an unexpected bonus in March. Kieran was extremely attentive from the moment we booked and we'd feel very lucky to go back in the future. Their kitchen is very well equipped and we enjoyed great meals at the house.

We all had a wonderful time and slept comfortable in the house. The house is very quiet and peaceful surrounded by acres and acres of beautiful property. Its the perfect home for all seasons.

Kieran is a perfect host - her home is stunningly beautiful, in a great location, and stocked with toys galore! We spent a weekend in November - our boys were in heaven romping outside in the fields and swinging in the hammock. They loved the children's bedroom and baskets of toys placed all over the house. The projection screen was a huge hit. We could have a a glass of wine in the great room and enjoy the fire while the kids played or watched a movie. The layout is fantastic - you can see the children playing outside from the living room, and can watch them play from one end of the house to another while cooking dinner. Great for young kids. The bedrooms are spacious with beautiful linens and so comfortable. All we had to bring was ourselves, the house is very well equipped. She really thought of every detail, and put out fresh flowers, towels and wine for us tired parents (yay!). Loved our stay and would be thrilled to visit again.
