Modern Accord Depot
Welcome to Modern Accord Depot, a stylish escape set in a historic 1902 train depot that once served the legendary New York, Ontario & Western Railway. Just two hours from the city in the Hudson Valley hamlet of Accord, NY, this glamorous rental property is the train lover’s escape for friends and families looking for a change of scenery, or a refreshing creative retreat for artists of all disciplines. Owned by an Emmy Award-winning music director and a Broadway choreographer, the house was intentionally designed to accommodate creative groups and can sleep up to 10 comfortably. Choose between the solo room with the King size platform bed with built-in cubbies and a skylight, or the one-of-a-kind bunk room reminiscent of a sleeping car, complete with privacy curtains, individualized lighting, and charging outlets. A stylish kitchen with all the Smeg appliances you could wish for will inspire the vacation cook, and a bespoke table for 12 is the perfect place to show off the meal. The ticket to thoroughly enjoying the house though is to do your own thing, be it lounging in one of the many sitting rooms, working up a sweat in the sun-filled studio, tickling the keys on the 1860’s grand piano, or enjoying fresh air on the patio. Wander the home and you’ll see that much survives from the depot’s early days, including a barn door made from salvaged boards with turn-of-the-century graffiti, the original ticket window and waiting room benches, and the former station agent’s desk repurposed as an entry bench. Adding to the nostalgia is a restored caboose parked out front on 100 feet of original track, filled with toys and books, a photo booth, mini fridge/freezer, and sleeping quarters. At Modern Accord Depot, get ready for an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
