This beautifully restored Lighthouse, built in 1869, sits in splendid isolation as a landmark beacon on the River Hudson, and its operational light tower offers panoramic views of the river with the Catskill Mountains to the west and Magdalen and Cruger Islands to the south.
The lighthouse can be reached either by boat, or by a short walk through a nature trail, so it is advisable to travel light. Offering guests a tranquil escape from nearby New York City, the lighthouse provides overnight bed and breakfast accommodation.
Stay in one of nine fully restored vintage aluminum travel trailers at Shady Dell.
Whether it’s the 10-meter Royal Mansion built in 1951 and fitted out with leopard carpet, martini glasses, diner-style breakfast booth and phonograph with a collection of 78 rpm records, or the 1947 Tiki Bus Polynesian Palace with a hand-carved bar, vintage black and white TV and music from the period being played on the radio, the trailers take you back to a time when you could hit the open road in search of the 1950s all-American dream.
The Shady Dell’s long and epic journey began in 1927 as a place to provide trailer and camping spaces to weary travelers along the famous Highway 80, which stretched from Savannah, Georgia to San Diego, California. Like its more famous brother Route 66, Highway 80 was a center of travel, exploration and family getaways in the early portions of the 20th century. Today, the park is a nice mix of practicality and vintage fun-seeking.
Winvian Resort in Litchfield Village, Connecticut has 19 buildings/rooms that are done in a different motif. These accommodations include the Tree house Room, the Beaver Room, The Helicopter room (with an actual helicopter inside that you can sleep in), the Music Room, and the Golf Room. The resort is on a 113 acre site bordered by a 4,000 acre wildlife sanctuary.
Winvian was once the tranquil family farm of Winthrop and Vivian Smith. Over a weekend in 2001, the daughter and granddaughter team of Maggie and Heather Smith decided on a no-rules design competition to transform the property and eventually engaged 15 architects to build 18 amazing cottages and one suite - each with a design history of its own.
Enjoy the beautiful northwoods from the comfort of your Futuro spaceship! Welcome to the home of the most unique vacation rental you have ever seen! Our Futuro POD was featured on an episode of the Extreme Homes National TV Show back in 2003 and is a wonderfully constructed, eccentric and rare home with all the amenities to make your stay comfortable and provide an experience you will always remember.
Think about waking up in the morning, lowering the steps of the POD and strolling down to your private access, 60 acre lake with a soft, sand beach. Relax on the dock while your children take the paddle boat for a quiet cruise around the lake. After dinner you look out at the glassy water with the sun setting on the shore, pick up the fishing gear and try your luck at some of the many walleye, bass, musky, or pan fish that inhabit the quaint lake.
Formerly used to detect fires, the live-in tower rises 55 feet above a forested mountaintop in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests. The tower was renovated and opened to the public for overnight rental in 1997. The tower is at an elevation of 10,003 feet. Summertime temperatures average 70 degrees but can drop as low as 30 degrees at night or during thunderstorms. The Spruce Mountain Fire Lookout Tower may be rented from mid-June to October 1st, weather permitting.
The tower is located seven miles west of Albany, Wyoming on Forest Road #500, a well-graveled road accessible by two-wheel-drive vehicles. Hiking and scenic driving opportunities abound nearby. The scenic Snowy Range is an hour's drive away via State Highway 11 and State Highway 130.
