A fully furnished one bedroom apartment is available for short-term lease in the historic rivertown of Athens, NY, in the beautiful Hudson Valley.
It has a Queen-size bed, full bathroom and full kitchen, TV, Wifi, Netflix, and free on-site parking. All utilities (heat, hot water, electric, Wifi) included. There's an upstairs neighbor (me) with two dogs and a cat. The critters will stay out of your way and you won't meet them - unless you like dogs, in which case they can't wait to be your best friend. The cat will keep her own counsel in this regard. The apartment has it's own separate entrance, and it's all on one level (no stairs).
The apartment has 5 stars on Airbnb but now I'm looking for a longer-stay guest. The term is 2 months but could be longer.
Looking for someone neat and clean who craves a winter getaway, or is shopping for a home in the area and needs a regular place to stay, or wants a launch pad for winter sports in the area (40 minutes to Hunter Mountain). My place is favored by writers for it's quiet, and travelling nurses for it's proximity to Columbia Memorial Hospital
The area is beautiful and rural yet just 9 miles from hopping Hudson NY. You can buy eggs from the neighbor down the road, you will hear the freight train in the distance and a neighbor's donkey at breakfast time.
Many good restaurants, attractions and outdoor activities. It's truly the Hudson Valley at it's finest.
Easy access to Amtrak. You will need a car to get around locally.
The NY Times loves it here:

I (she/her) am a former NYC resident of 25 years who retired from a career in software development management to this beautiful area to pursue my "retirement career" of dog training and my neglected hobby of cycling. I own the apartment and the house it's in. I will be showing the space and I live onsite. I am willing to be friendly, but only if you want that :) I have enjoyed Airbnb hosting and I expect I will enjoy this as well.
