Navywood: Scandi | Peaceful | Red Hook/Rhinebeck

Navywood is a cozy retreat in the heart of the Hudson Valley, located 2 hours from NYC. Set on 3 private acres surrounded by woodland and meadows with walking trails and a small pond. The cabin has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The house features a propane stove, firepit, and access to the best towns and parks in the region. Taghkanic State Park is under 10 minutes away. If you’re interested in town exploring, Red Hook (10 mins) Tivoli (15 minutes), Rhinebeck and Hudson (20 minutes) are quick and pretty drives! Navywood is your contemporary escape in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Elizaville, a hamlet of Livingston, lies just over the line separating Dutchess and Columbia Counties. This peaceful retreat with a minimalist flair will set you in the center of some of the best attractions the region has to offer. The home is set back on a long and winding driveway. As you enter the property, you’ll find a spacious three-acre lot with a mix of mature trees, an open meadow, and a small pond, fed by a trickling stream. Take some time to wander the paths around the pond and through the woods. Inside, the open-concept common spaces make Navywood a fantastic place to gather with family and friends. The home is tastefully renovated with light hardwood floors on both levels that set the tone for a motif of wood accents throughout. This bright and airy feel lends a welcoming tone to the shared spaces on the main floor: a dining table which accommodates six guests, and a comfy couch and seating looking out at the new deck (with BBQ grill) that spans the length of the home. The well-appointed kitchen has a gas range, and marble countertops and comes stocked with essential cookware and modern appliances, including all the basics you’d need for preparing a feast. Rounding out the main level are two bedrooms, both with queen-size beds, and each with individual temperature controls. These two guest rooms are separated by a renovated full bath with tub/shower and new marble floors. Downstairs, you’ll find a cozy entertainment room with a propane fireplace. Set the tone for an intimate night in as you sit by the fire, or gather with the family on the couch and tune into a favorite movie on the smart TV. The queen bedroom on this floor completes the sleeping arrangements for six guests at Navywood, and sports a desk with a monitor with an adapter for those who just have to sign on to work (but try not to.) This first floor also features a full bath with a walk-in shower and laundry facilities. An EV charger is available for guest use, with instructions provided in the guidebook. If you’re looking to explore the region, Elizaville is centrally located for visiting some of the most charming towns in the region. Shop boutiques in Rhinebeck, antiques in Hudson, peruse historic Bard College in Tivoli, or enjoy the serenity of Lake Taghkanic State Park. Navywood is two hours from New York City, and while you’ll definitely want a car to get enjoy the region. In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and gravel roads. There is plenty of parking on the premises.
