Hermanus is a private estate (25 acres) located on the Hudson River in Chestertown, NY, surrounded by nature. Hermanus has a unique history, so be sure to check it out on our website at www.hermanus-on-the-hudson.com.

The Adirondack-style second-floor Carriage House apartment boasts over 1500 sq. ft. and almost every amenity you desire. Upon entering your private entrance, you will be amazed by the living areas: an open living/dining/kitchen area with a wood-burning stone fireplace and 16-18-foot ceilings.

At Hermanus, you may walk the many trails, sit in or by the river, fish, walk across the Hudson (when the water is low), snowshoe (not provided), or sit by the fire pits (two on-site). In addition, there are puzzles, games, internet Wi-Fi, and a 75" Smart TV.

Wish to dine in: the kitchen has almost everything, from major appliances to small appliances and baking supplies. Have your cup of coffee (k-pods or 12 cups) anytime during the day, a toaster, blender, or crockpot. Plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and knives make preparing meals easy. Ample cupboards and a large refrigerator offer plenty of storage. Paper and cleaning products are provided, including basic food supplies such as ketchup, relish, mayonnaise, spices, and sugar. If you forgot an item, ask!

The main bedroom has a king bed and a comfortable reading chair. The adjacent walk-in closet has plenty of hanging space, a washer/dryer, and a small safe for valuables.

The second bedroom has two twin beds and a closet. In addition, there is a small desk and a trundle bed in the "Crows Nest" (loft). This area overlooks the massive living/dining/kitchen area. The maximum sleeping capacity is 6. There is also a travel crib (Graco Pack 'n-Play Dome LX-Playard).

The private bath has double sinks and a walk-in shower. The caretakers share additional bathrooms: a full bath (shower) in the heated workshop when you are outside.

Chestertown is about 5 miles from restaurants, and an exquisite fine-dining restaurant is minutes away. Every town around Hermanus has its unique charm and plenty of activities year-round.
