2 Bedroom House in Pine Plains
Willow Vale House is a charming and serene Eyebrow Colonial farmhouse, located on an idyllic country lane in beautiful Dutchess County. Just two hours from New York City and 35 minutes to the town of Hudson, Willow Vale House is the perfect weekend getaway in the Hudson Valley.
Willow Vale House is the perfect destination for exploring the Hudson Valley in all four seasons of the year.
Originally constructed in 1763, built out circa 1850, and recently renovated in early 2018, today Willow Vale House is a tasteful blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.
The house is spacious and comfortable. Upstairs there are two cozy bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed, and one with a skylight.
The downstairs space is ideal for socializing over food and wine. The living room, centered around a wood stove, is a perfect space to spend an afternoon with a good book, a late evening nightcap, or a good movie on TV.
Our spacious, open, and fully-equipped kitchen and dining room centers around a Bertazonni gas range with cherry butcher-block countertops. The farmhouse dining table seats up to 6, ideal for cozy dinner parties or late night board games. If you’re looking for an upstate culinary experience, this is the place for you.
The house is on ¾ of an acre which includes a grassy backyard complete with a fire pit and a propane grill. The back porch is screened in for those less adventurous, and has a large farmhouse table perfect for outdoor dining.
Viewable from the kitchen window, across the country lane, and just down the embankment you’ll find Shekomeko creek which flows through our property.

This is a very old house with lots of updates but still has the qualities of a dwelling built over 250 years ago. There are definitely some quirks that guests should be aware of like old wood frame windows, some of which do not open, low doorways upstairs, and a low railing around the stairwell on the upper floor.
The main floor heat is controlled by the Nest thermostat in the dining room. The upstairs is heated by electric baseboard heaters controlled by on-board thermostats.
For Summer months, there is a window Air Conditioning unit in the primary bedroom and another in the main floor living room.
WiFi at the house is strong and works well if you need to get some work done, or for streaming Netflix on TV. Cell reception is limited, however you can use WiFi calling by connecting your phone to the house WiFi. We also have a land line that you can use if needed.
