The Pause – Stylish Escape near Rhinebeck

Enter through the mudroom, kick off your shoes on one of the hand-crafted cedar benches set beside the wood stack, and let the open floor plan invite you in. The farmhouse-style dining table sits alongside a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with views into the private wooded backyard. Any time spent here, enjoying the peaceful landscape, is bound to be special.

Beyond the dining area is a lovely bench for you to settle in with a good book and relax amongst the indoor and outdoor greenery. The gourmet kitchen features a sizable concrete-counter island with seating for four, and a full range Wolf oven to whip up a delicious meal with ease.

The seating area off the kitchen is equipped with a projector and screen for cozy movie nights. The half bath powder room is conveniently located between the kitchen and projector room. A second seating area offers a unique, Moroccan-inspired lounge to unwind in. With velvet cushions and a vintage Malm carousel fireplace, this is an ideal space for intimate quality time.

All four bedrooms are on the second floor. There are three queens, each in a corner room flooded with natural light. Their Moroccan rugs and original wood-planked ceilings enhance the warmth and serenity of each room's simple, calming design. The fourth bedroom features two twins that can be combined to make a king bed, if preferred. The bathroom features a deep claw foot tub/shower.

Step outside and immerse yourself in your own taste of the forest while kicking back in one of the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. Behind the house, a picnic-style outdoor dining table is there to accommodate your home-cooked meals fresh off the gas grill, or the takeout picked up from one of Rhinebeck's noteworthy restaurants, a mere five minutes away.
