River House by AvantStay | Historic & Secluded Estate on the Hudson River w/Pool

Welcome to River House, an AvantStay home!

Follow a one-mile-long private driveway through groves of Walnut and alongside the Corlear Creek to reach this expansive estate. Upon entry, you’ll find 19th-century oak floors, antique brick from the old Athens brickyard, floor-to-ceiling windows, and huge dining and living rooms designed for large, cheerful gatherings. The corner game room invites your group to gather around the pool table and cozy up by the brick fireplace. When it’s time to unwind, head to the master bathroom, where a freestanding bathtub overlooking the water showcases the best views in the house. Outside, a river-side pool and a great lawn leading directly to the sandy beach on the Hudson give you plenty of opportunities to spend your days in the sun. Enjoy!

Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York’s Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area’s rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there’s a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between.

Experience Hudson Valley, AvantStay style.

Family getaway
We had a wonderful time in Catskill! The house was lots of fun and had tons of space for everyone. We reached out with some questions before our stay and never received a response, many of the outlets didn’t work and the house could have used an extra cleaning before we arrived but overall we had a great time.

Great family gathering spot
The number of bedrooms and bathrooms was great for the 13 of us. The big kitchen, pantry and long dining tables made for fun interaction. The game room with pool table and ping pong table were perfect for after dinner fun. Beautiful property on the river. We plan to go back. Historic homes are tough to maintain and our hope is that it is as nice in the future as it was this week.

Family weekend
The house was perfect for our family of 17 members, age range 19 to 86 years. We loved the ping pong table and the shuffleboard table. We missed having a workable fireplace. That would be a good addition.

Epic bachelor party
We had an amazing bachelor party weekend at this place. The views of the Hudson (which we were able to kayak out on thanks to the kayaks provided by the property), the lounging by the pool, the backyard games on the sprawling lawn, the grilling on the huge deck, the poker game around the enormous dining room table, the hours spent in the game room, all of it was just a great time at a truly unique property. The only hiccup was that the water went out on the first day due to an issue with the water well but the property manager responded immediately and came with hired help to fix it. We will talking about this trip for years to come!

WOW! AMAZING FAMILY REUNION - WE WANT TO COME BACK
We loved the place. The views in the morning and at sunset were breathtaking. The lake in front was amazing. The house itself was in great condition, so many rooms for our large 20+ group and the way the house is set up encouraged everyone to bond across multiple living rooms Great swimming pool and kayaking was available. We really got to bond as family and everyone wants to come back. Our bonding was enhanced as everyone just loved the environment, Thank you again for doing a superb job looking after the house and its premises and making our stay GREAT.

Awesome Long Weekend!
20 of my friends and I enjoyed this home over a long summer weekend. It was perfect — queen/king sized beds for everyone; big yard for lawn games and a slip and slide; and a pool, hottub, and fire pit perfect for a group hangout. The property is extremely private, but the property manager is just a text away and very responsive. We’ll be back!
