Built in the 1790s,
likely by one of the Scottish families that settled Galway, our home is a post-and-beam farmhouse filled
with warmth, history and character. Over the past twelve years we have restored it ourselves, paying careful attention
to 18th Century colors, antique furniture choices, period hardware and architectural detail.
Wyndbourne features the peace of a rural location, a spectacular view that extends to Vermont’s Green
Mountains, Mount Greylock in Massachusetts and the New York Helderberg Hills, the beauty of lush English gardens and
rooms filled with period art and furnishings. During the summer you are welcome to enjoy the gardens and gnarly old apple
orchard on our high, breezy knoll. In the winter cozy up to the oversized double fireplace that adjoins the keeping room
and country kitchen. A second floor library and living room also provide visitors with places to socialize or relax in
solitude.
There is plenty of room
to wander. Bring your telescope! Our back yard, with its high vantage
point and rural location with limited ambient light, offers a 360° view of star-filled skies, meteors and other heavenly
phenomena! Bring your bicycle and explore our diverse landscape on the back roads
of Saratoga County. Bring that stack of books you have been longing to read or the
handwork you haven't made time for. Wyndbourne might be the perfect sanctuary where you can slow your
pace, rest and refresh. Bring your binoculars! There is abundant and rich
bird life right here in our back yard and a neighbor that works with an Audubon bird bander, who is always happy to consult
about an unusual sighting.

So
that you can be as social - or as solitary - as you like, we offer three common spaces and three sleeping rooms:
a Queen bedroom with private bath; one twin bedroom and one double bedroom sharing a bath. All are quiet and private and your sleep will benefit
from peaceful country night sounds
and, in winter, cozy down appointments.
