Built around
or before 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.

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.
