Secluded and Spectacular Views

The Silo

Set on 700 acres of wooded Hudson Valley real estate, The Silo is reached by crossing a bridge over a flowing stream (part of the intricate Hudson River watershed system). Though the home and property feel secluded, they are within easy driving distance to some of the region’s most chic, lively towns, such as Rhinebeck and Hudson.

Though The Silo has the feel of a converted antique barn, it is entirely new construction, steeped with delicious touches, from the rounded walls of the “silo” to the warm, wide-board flooring. The spacious rooms of this country home are flooded with light from soaring windows that face in all directions.

A big, family-style eat-in kitchen promises lively gatherings for meal preparation, casual dining, conversation, and games as you enjoy the views and the cozy warmth of the antique wood burning stove on winter days. Also on the entrance floor is a majestic great room—living and dining space perfect for holidays, lazy afternoons, or formal entertaining.

Bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs comfortably sleep 12. The downstairs bedroom has outdoor access through French doors, a sitting area and queen bed. This space offers maximum privacy to a young family. Upstairs, three bedrooms—one a cozy kids’ room full of twin beds, and two more large bedrooms with magical sunrise views.

The Hudson Valley boasts one of the longest fall foliage seasons in the country. The autumn colors paint the entire valley with rich warmth from September deep into October. When the winter snows fall across the landscape, take out your snowshoes and experience the drifting silence of the woods under its white mantle. In summer, enjoy long days in nature and leisurely evenings around the giant firepit, or watch a summer storm sweep in across the rural landscape.

The property and the entire region feature majestic scenery and hiking, bike trains, local farms, shopping, museums, historic homes and sites, golf, lakes and hidden swimming holes, theater and music festivals and venues, and opportunities to ski, downhill or cross country.

**Available wedding venues. Cost provided upon request.

Please note that the garage has an efficiency apartment (The Nook) that can be rented with The Silo for additional guests at a discounted price. It is also available for private rental of 1-2people. If rented, they do not have usage of the rear slate patio or firepit/grill area. We do provide a table for two on the porch of the Nook and private parking around the back with separate picnic table and grill.

Perfect, Beautiful!
Every detail of this property is outstanding. From the sublime setting to the details, both large and small, of this house. Our host was communicative in all ways one might expect or hope for. Our family gathered together here from far points for a large wedding. So much fun to wander the fields, loll in the Kitchen area, primp ourselves up for the festivities, sleep in luxurious comfort. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you.

Gorgeous house, perfect weekend!
My bridal party and I rented two of Mary's properties for the weekend of our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier. The house was absolutely gorgeous, and the setting was perfect. The views were unbeatable. The sunny little room at the top of the silo isn't in any of the photos on the listing, but was the best room in the house. Mary graciously allowed my bridesmaids and I to get our hair and makeup done onsite and to have our photographer come by to document the morning, too. We really couldn't have had a better experience!

Stunning views
This property is just beautiful inside and out. The home is so cozy and clean with amazing light and room for all, and the views will knock your socks off. We were a group of a few young families and our kids loved the space to run freely and visit with the cows, and the parents loved the chance to enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch in the morning and a glass on wine on the lawn in the evening while taking in those awesome views. Mary was a great and responsive host and we alll hope to be back soon!

Lovely home for a getaway!
The home was beautiful - well cared for and very clean. It was just a getaway for 48 hours but all went smoothly and the house manager was very communicative. All together great and we would be excited to return when it is better weather and we could be outside more.

Magical Getaway
This house is absolutely stunning and so is the property. It felt spacious and modern, yet cozy and traditional. We really enjoyed the scenery outside and loved the fire pit. We took a nice day trip to Millerton, which was only a 12-minute drive away. We will definitely return and we imagine that this would be an amazing getaway at any time of year. Thank you for everything, Mary!

Amazing property!
My wife and I and a group of friends stayed at The Silo this past weekend. The property is absolutely incredible. The photos on the website were beautiful, but in person, the only word I can use is STUNNING. The house is clean, classy, comfortable, and has so much space to accommodate big groups. The rooms are straight out of a magazine. It was completely idyllic and provided a much needed peaceful weekend. Mary was extremely attentive to all of our needs. I cannot recommend this house any more. My friends and I will definitely come back for another amazing weekend away! Thanks Mary!

Pine Plains Paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Silo! Mary was extremely accommodating and ready to answer any questions and in fact went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed for the duration of our stay. The house itself is extremely spacious. Everyone enjoyed having their own corner of the large house to escape to, and then coming together to gather in the kitchen or living room. The kitchen is a dream to cook in with a large pantry, Viking gas stove and big double sink. During very hot days the central air was much appreciated! The grounds are extremely private, gorgeous and well kept. The view is absolutely stunning! Our favorite moments were spent grilling local Sunny River steak and vegetables and dining with family on the stone patio, which is bordered by a lovely garden and overlooks rolling pasture and corn fields. The kids enjoyed playing on the huge lawns, and making s'mores at dusk around the large fire pit. If you are seeking a one of a kind house, an exceptional host, and an extraordinary location, you will enjoy your stay at the Silo. Thanks for the unforgettable memories!

Paradise in Pine Plains
We very much enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous and unique property. The views are truly spectacular and we spent lots of time sitting and playing outdoors. (We would have loved a bit more outdoor furniture - sofas, umbrellas, lounge chairs, etc., to make the most of the scenery). However, the fire pit was a huge hit with our children, as was the entire home. Our dog also had a ball and we appreciated the fact that he was able to join us on the trip. One thing to add: We would have liked prior notice of the fact that the Nook (above the garage property) could possibly be rented out as well. It was not clear at all from the listing on vrbo and we did not learn of this fact until we had arrived at the property. With that said, it worked out fine with the other people (whom also brought a dog), but advance notice would have been appreciated. Thanks so much for having our group. We were able to give our sons an amazing send off before overnight camp. Great family memories were made at your lovely home and we hope to come back again.
