The space
Welcome to The Gatehouse at Raspberry Ridge — a private retreat tucked within one of the Hudson Valley's most charming farm compounds.

Set apart from the main farm buildings and surrounded by woods, gardens, and open fields, this cozy 2-bedroom home offers the perfect balance of privacy and connection to country life. Whether you're escaping the city for a weekend, bringing the dog for a nature-filled getaway, or looking for a peaceful place to recharge, The Gatehouse makes it easy to slow down and settle in.

Start your mornings with coffee on the deck overlooking the property. Spend your afternoons exploring nearby hiking trails, browsing the shops and restaurants of Hudson and Great Barrington, or simply enjoying the fresh country air. As evening falls, gather around the fire pit under star-filled skies or cozy up inside beside the wood-burning stove.

One of the most memorable parts of staying at The Gatehouse is access to Raspberry Ridge itself. Guests are welcome to stroll the grounds, visit the resident donkeys and chickens, explore the gardens, and enjoy a genuine taste of Hudson Valley farm life. Fresh eggs are often available for purchase, making breakfast feel just a little more special.

Inside, you'll find bright and comfortable living spaces, a well-equipped kitchen, cozy bedrooms, and thoughtful touches throughout. The lower-level entertainment room offers additional space to watch movies, play games, or unwind after a day of exploring.

Guest access
The Gatehouse property has a fenced and secure yard with large deck and fire pit.

Guests are welcome to explore and enjoy Raspberry Ridge's approximately 18 acres of fields, woodland, gardens, and marked walking trails. One of the special parts of staying here is the opportunity to experience the property's natural beauty and working farm setting.

Please note that Raspberry Ridge is an active farm property. Trail conditions, gardens, fields, and wooded areas may vary throughout the year due to weather, seasonal farming activities, fallen trees, mud, wildlife, or ongoing property projects. While we do our best to keep paths accessible, some areas may occasionally be closed, rerouted, or unavailable during your stay.

These outdoor spaces are offered as a complimentary amenity for guests to enjoy and may not be maintained or restored on a daily basis. We encourage guests to use caution when exploring and to respect any posted signs or restricted areas.

Other things to note
Raspberry Ridge is a rural farm property surrounded by woods, fields, gardens, and wildlife. Seeing deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, birds, insects, and other native animals is part of the charm of staying in the countryside. While the home is professionally maintained and regularly serviced, occasional encounters with spiders, insects, or mice can happen, especially during seasonal changes.

Please keep doors closed when not in use and avoid leaving open food on countertops or outdoors. If anything requires attention during your stay, simply reach out and we'll be happy to help.
