Well-behaved dogs are allowed with prior approval (and $75 fee per pet, per stay) but are never permitted on the furniture and particularly not in beds. Please clean up after your pet both inside and outside the house. Sorry, cats are not permitted.

No smoking is permitted inside the house. If you must smoke, please do so outside and dispose of butts properly.

Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners.
BUGS
To avoid unwanted bugs and critters, please do not leave food out or doors open. As well, lyme, a tick-born disease, is a concern in the Hudson Valley and Catskills regions. Please be mindful by wearing long pants and sleeves while hiking or playing outdoors, and remember to check yourself, kids, and pets daily for ticks.
WINTER WEATHER:
In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and slippery roads. While we have someone that plows and salts the roads, weather in the area can be unpredictable so please check and plan accordingly.

The Home
Rich in history and designed by noted architect Wesley Lesher Blithe (1873–1946), the home showcases beautiful stonework, a vaulted central living space with 25’ ceilings and original wood detailing + unique artistic touches throughout the home.
The spacious and light-filled living room features a massive stone fireplace and built-in banquettes nestled beneath banks of windows—perfect for curling up with a book, enjoying conversation, or sipping your morning coffee. This inviting space flows seamlessly into the dining room, where large windows overlook the garden, and then into a fully equipped kitchen complete with a breakfast island.
The master bedroom features a queen bed, the first guest bedroom has another queen bed and the second guest bedroom has a double bed. The home offers two bathrooms: one with a walk-in shower and separate soaking tub, and another with a walk-in shower.
A cozy den doubles as a game room, offering a foosball table, a miniature Atari arcade, and a PS4 with a flat-screen TV—ideal for friendly competitions.
Step outside to enjoy the expansive wraparound covered porch, outfitted with generous seating and dining areas that invite relaxation in every season. As the sun sets, gather around the outdoor fire pit for stargazing, storytelling, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine. Whether you're drawn by the rustic charm or the historical legacy, The Blankenburg House is a unique and memorable retreat.
