Unique Stays
Unique Stays in the Hudson Valley
A-frames on a working farm, a Nordic cabin near Woodstock and design-led homes along the river, all within easy reach of New York City.
About the area
The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go when they want the country without a long drive: orchards and farm stands, river towns with serious restaurants, and some of the best art in the state. The homes on this page put you in the middle of it.
In Montgomery, two design-forward A-frames sit on a working farm. In Newburgh, Hudson House puts you close to the river and Storm King. Near Saugerties, Uni Cabin is a new Nordic-style cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows, ten minutes from both Saugerties and Woodstock. Each was chosen for its design and for owners who care about the details.
Every home on Locèlle is listed by its owner, and you book with them directly, without added platform fees.
Why stay here
- Close to the city. Most homes are between about 75 minutes and two hours from Manhattan.
- Farm and river in one trip. Orchards, farm stands and Hudson River towns are a short drive apart.
- Art and food. Dia Beacon, Storm King Art Center and a deep bench of restaurants.
- Designed homes. A-frames, a Nordic cabin and historic houses, each with a clear point of view.
- Book direct. Locèlle introduces you to the owners so you can book with them without platform fees.
Best time to visit
Fall is peak season for apple picking and foliage, typically from mid-September through October. Spring and early summer bring farm stands, gardens and outdoor dining. Winter is quiet, with lower rates, fireside weekends and easy access to the museums.
Getting there
From New York City, plan on roughly 75 minutes to Montgomery and Newburgh and about two hours to Saugerties by car. Metro-North's Hudson Line runs to Beacon and Poughkeepsie, and Amtrak stops in Rhinecliff and Hudson. Stewart International Airport in New Windsor is the closest airport to the southern homes. A car is recommended.

Frequently asked questions
How far is the Hudson Valley from New York City?
The homes on this page are roughly 75 minutes to two hours from Manhattan by car, depending on the town.
What is the difference between the Hudson Valley and the Catskills?
The Hudson Valley runs along the river and is generally closer to the city, with farms, river towns and museums. The Catskills are the mountains to the west, with more hiking, waterfalls and skiing. Some homes, like Uni Cabin near Saugerties, are close to both.
Can I get there without a car?
Metro-North and Amtrak reach several river towns, but the homes themselves are outside town, so a car is the easiest way to get around.
