The West Kill Farmhouse is amazing. The decor and layout

The West Kill Farmhouse is amazing. The decor and layout are perfect alone or with couples or families traveling together. Lots of space and very interesting design and layout..
Unfortunately we could not explore too much of the outdoors as it was covered in snow and ice and below zero with the wind. The main living area can be very chilly even with the fireplace going (tricky to keep the smoke from coming in the room) and the heat turned up. This is due to the wall of windows on both sides with drafts around doors. It did not bother our group as we were so in awe of the full wall of windows at both ends of the Great room, the ambient lighting in the ceiling (Switch on Niche lighting) and coziness of the fireplace and we just cozied up in the amply supplied blankets and enjoyed the moment. There are also space heaters throughout if needed. Nothing that a good glass of wine, good company and a great environment can’t tackle. 🙂
The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable and warm with interesting lofts in a couple and all but one with it’s own bathroom.
The kitchen was a very cool design and had all you need to stay in and enjoy meals together. And TWO refrigerators!
We visited the West Kill Brewery- a short trip and must see. Drove into Hunter, but now wowed. We were not there to ski so may have been different if we were. On the way out, we stopped at the Phoenicia Diner, but extremely crowded and after waiting 30 minutes, we were given 3rd degree about our service dog. We ended up leaving and traveling 3 minutes into downtown Phoenicia and eating at the Bettina Cafe and Market and so glad that we did. The food was amazing and delicious, well prepared, no wait and the owners gladly welcomed our well behaved service dog.
Downtown Phoenicia is a quaint little town with a Bar, pizza place and some other shops. Will explore more here next time. And yes we will be back. A very enjoyable weekend and highly recommended. Thank you!!
