Grab Some Friends and Rent this Place…

If one more person says that summer is winding down, we’re going to cry. There’s still many sunny, warm days ahead of us before the leaves make their descent, but for those us still deciding if we’re taking something resembling a summer vacation, now is the time to pull that trigger. And yes, you can still find rentals. Plenty of rental properties in the Catskills and HV have weeks open before September 1 (not to say you can’t take a fall vacation, but we’ll get to the that in August), like Shipley Corner in Greene County. Shipley Corner is a 19th century farmhouse near the hamlet of Freehold on 1.5 acres of land, but it was the interior that snagged our attention. The woodwork is spot-on with touches of shabby-chic everywhere (can someone please come up with another term for shabby-chic?). It has 3 bedrooms and sleeps 5 guests total (1 queen bed and 3 twin beds), so find some like-minded friends and drag them along on the adventure to help cut the cost. Rates are $225/night with a 3-night minimum stay, $1800/week, or $7000/month. Shipley Corner is for most of the rest of July and lots of dates in August. Leave next Monday and stay a week. Or two. Freehold is 20 minutes west of Catskill village and about 30 minutes from the city of Hudson.
Beds: 4 (sleeps 5)
Baths: 2
