jill's room

Milan, NY 12571

We live in a 6 bedroom / 3 bath contemporary hilltop home on 6 private acres surrounded by deep woods and old stone walls. The property is landscaped with pollinator plants, ornamental grasses and flowering shrubs. Wildlife includes owls, chickadees, red bellied woodpeckers, wild turkeys, fox (& sometimes babies!) and deer, to name a few!

This is a sweet, cozy bedroom with new furnishings on the first floor of our large home and adjoins a yoga room. It has a full size bed, desk & chair, upholstered bench and tall chest of drawers. It faces the back of our property with views of flowering bushes, wild life, native birds and deep woods. Singles only please.

We offer a shared co-living household and would love to get to know you! The LR, FR, kitchen and our beautiful 6 acre wooded property are all available for our guests to enjoy.

Northern Dutchess county abounds with natural beauty! We are on the eastern side of the majestic Hudson River and are surrounded by bucolic views, historic estates, horse farms, wineries, orchards, quaint villages, farmer markets and small towns. There is hiking, kayaking, cycling, running, sailing, swimming and site seeing and plentiful wide, open spaces. We are happy to be your guide!

My son will be attending law school in the fall and is currently home and my daughter is a junior political science major and is home for breaks. We have two silly doodles and one not-so-silly kitty that live with us. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate additional pets. We love animals, but the inn is full!

We have made our home into a co-living space and have 2-3 carefully chosen housemates at any one time for from 2 nights to 1 year stays. All have private furnished bedrooms and share bathrooms. It’s been a wonderful experience and we’ve had the pleasure of meeting many interesting people!
