Stay at Sparrow House: A Cozy, Waterfront Retreat in the Hudson Valley | House in Cornwall-On-Hudson, NY

Wake up to stunning views of the Hudson River and the Hudson Highlands in this huge, immaculately clean, & beautifully designed historic home. Welcome to Sparrow House, our one-of-a-kind 1850s Gothic Victorian in the Hudson Valley. Only 80 minutes from NYC, 19 minutes away from the Beacon stop on the Hudson line (Metro-North), and 10 minutes from the Salisbury Mills/Cornwall stop on the Port Jervis line (NJ Transit). The house is spacious, has exquisite light, and river and mountain views from nearly every room.
Sparrow House sits on 2 acres of lush property with stunning waterfront views, and is conveniently located near the Storm King Art Center, West Point, Breakneck Ridge, Bannerman's Castle, hiking trails at Black Rock Forest, and Storm King Mountain. A short drive to Beacon and the Dia Museum, orchards and wineries.
Sparrow House was built by Captain Leonard P. Clark in the 1850s along with many of the surrounding cottages (and even a waterfront bowling alley!) Captain Clark was a shipbuilder who built and rented schooners for guests summering in Cornwall-on-Hudson but he lived at Sparrow House with his wife and two daughters. The house now functions as a space for creative retreat, exploration and community. We host many writers, musicians, artists, filmmakers and nature lovers; the serene landscape has been a repeated draw for many.
The house is mysterious, romantic and full of character. Suitable for large groups or small. We find happiness, music, storytelling and tranquility here and we hope you will too.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Do you accommodate shoots or events at Sparrow House NY?

A: We provide these for all guests and include hotel-size toiletries.
Q: How will I receive the key and how many keys will I get?

Q: Should I include children when entering the size of my party?
A: Yes. And please enter infants as "children" and not "infants" if VRBO gives you the option to specify (this seems to only pop up for some users). The party size needs to be registered with our insurance company and children count as people to insurance. Also, please understand that all listed "extra person" charges are a function of the increased cost to insure larger parties, including children and infants.
Q: I am looking for a last-minute stay. Can I make a same-day booking?
A: If you're looking for a same-day booking and the place is free, please inquire and we'll try! It depends on whether our cleaning crew can accommodate last minute, which isn't a sure thing. For same-day bookings, check-in may also have to be later than the listed time in order to make sure the place is ready. Still, can't hurt to ask!
Q: What's my total booking price?
A: With fees included, VRBO only shows the guest, and not the host, the total cost. This figure should be present after you enter your dates. Note that, pricing varies on a daily basis, and VRBO uses their own algorithm to adjust it automatically, so we don't control it.
