Colonel Hasbrouck’s 1735 Stone House, Street Level

Step through the red door into a designated landmark dating from 1735. Light from tall colonial Dutch windows reflects off the hand-restored wide-board floors and the decorative fireplace. There’s a backyard view through the split Dutch door. The apartment is cleaned according to Airbnb's enhanced cleaning protocol. It has a small Roku TV, and an infant pack and play, high chair, and bouncer seat. Internet is powered by the fastest tier available. Downstairs you'll find a bright and airy living room in the front, the light from the tall colonial dutch windows reflected off of the hand-restored original wide-board floors. Past the large decorative fireplace is a newly renovated full kitchen and dining nook, with a backyard view through the split dutch door. Upstairs is a modest but modern bathroom with a heated towel rack, and two bedrooms, each with a 12" queen-sized memory foam mattress on a solid steel frame. For your comfort, the apartment has its own heating and cooling controls, with separate programmable thermostats for upstairs and downstairs. Check-in is done automatically via keypad (your personal code is sent via email when you book), but we’re right next door to answer your questions or point you to a good restaurant. The Colonel Abraham Hasbrouck House is in the historical Stockade district. At the center of Kingston, the first capital of New York State, the neighborhood is charming and walkable with some great restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops. Here's how most folks get here. By bus: 5 minutes on foot from the Trailways bus terminal, about 2 hours from the Port Authority By car: 3 minutes from exit 19 of I-87, about a 90-minute drive from the GW bridge. By train: 20 minutes by car from the Rhinecliff Amtrak station, about 2 hours by train from Penn Station If you're coming by car, parking is free on our street, and finding a spot is usually pretty easy on weekends and weekdays after 5pm. Otherwise, there are 3 paid municipal lots you can use, all within two blocks. We've taken a lot of care to preserve the original wide-board floors, but since they came from trees that started growing before Henry Hudson came up the river, they're crooked and creaky. Take care when walking on them and the stairs to the bedrooms upstairs, and feel free to use the slippers we've provided.
