Hello,

I am renting out my home this entire year as a short-term rental; during these slows weeks, I am offering it to my fellow creative community at a discount for $100 per day, Mon - Thursday, and $160 per day Friday - Sunday. This is for 2 adults and 1 dog. Can sleep up to 4, for an additional guest fee.

Home Details: this is a two-story, furnished, modern, sunny, clean, & colorful house with a large, fenced in yard. It has a small deck in the back, a fire pit, 1.5 baths, and 2-car driveway. On the first floor is a sunny office-area with desk, shelves, and laptop riser, with fast WiFi. Also, a full bath, large kitchen and dining room. The dining room has two big windows facing the yard and an old barn, with a large dining table that seats 6 comfortably. Fully-stocked kitchen with a Kitchen Aid mixer, gas stove, dishwasher, all pots, pans, baking tools needed to make your stay comfortable.

Up a flight of stairs is the living room, which has a comfortable blue velvet, mod-style sofa and lounger, Firestick TV with multi-channel streaming, and a DVD player. Bedroom has a Queen-sized bed and brand new mattress, with a half bath next to it. The house is dog-equipped with a dog feeding station, doggy gates, and a dog lounge cover. Heating and air conditioning is central, via forced air vents on the floor.

Location: House is in the Midtown Arts District of Kingston, 2 blocks to the border of the Stockade District. House is just off Broadway, which features cafes, art galleries, restaurants, bars, shops, and even an amazing vintage multi-dealer warehouse called Red Owl. Newly established 6,000 sq. foot Center for Photography Gallery (CPW) and the Museum of Dinnerware, along with the Ulster County Performing Arts Center, are within walking distance. House is less than a 10-minute walk to the heart of the beautiful Stockade District, featuring 1700's stone buildings, a Saturday Farmer's Market in warmer weather, and more great restaurants, shops, and attractions.

Neighborhood vibe: culturally/ethnically diverse, middle class neighborhood. Many Spanish-speaking businesses. Some small-city, urban noise during the day time work hours (cars, voices outdoors, leaf blowers), gets very quiet by 8PM on work nights.

Traveling Around: Kingston is just under an hour by car from Albany International Airport, 2 hours from the GWB/Northern Manhattan, and a 20/25 minutes drive from the Amtrak station in Rhinecliff on the east side of the Hudson River. Pine Hill Trailways Bus station is 5 minutes away, with daily routes to Port Authority in Manhattan. House location is 5 minutes-drive from I-87 and Rt. 28, a 15-20 minutes-drive to Woodstock Village, Rhinebeck, Phoenicia and other towns nearby. Tons of options for nearby hiking, Winter sports, and wellness classes.

Suited for: respectful, tidy, art and nature lovers. This price will be a set fee for 2 adults and one small to medium dog, all-inclusive. House can sleep 2 more people in the living room on the sectional sofa that turns into two roomy, comfortable, medium-firm, XL Twin beds. Room was originally a bedroom, so it has a door, clothes hooks, and closet space upon request. I'm open to renting to a family or group of friends of up to 4 people, and would charge an extra add-on fee for those additional guests. I allow up to 2 canine guests, and additional cleaning fee will be added on for a second dog.

The deal: I'd ask that you sign a simple contract/use agreement, for your legal security and mine, and pay in advance, with a security deposit. I have an Airbnb account, and reviews for this home, so I'm happy to share that for comfort and further info. Can provide more photos of the space and yard upon request. The house is available after April 18: please ask for those rates, as they will be higher than the quoted rates for these dates. Some slots are already booked, but I'm open to inquiries.
