★ 4.96 from 120 reviews on AirbnbThis house runs on sunlight.
SOL stands for Sustainable + Opulent + Living, and the first word isn’t decoration. Over a year, the 42 solar panels in the meadow are sized to make about 140% of the power the house uses, sauna, hot tub and heated floors included. You don’t give up a single comfort to travel lighter.
“Sustainable, stunning, and so worth it.”
Nothing rationed
Run the sauna, soak in the hot tub, leave the floors warm. Over a year the sun covers it, so there’s no meter to watch and nothing to feel bad about.
The lights stay on
Three Tesla Powerwalls hold 40.5 kWh. When a storm takes the lines down, the essentials keep running on stored sunlight.
Arrive electric, leave full
A Level 2 charger by the garage, free for guests.
“…charged fully in only a handful of hours.”

That’s enough electricity for about two average American homes.
The installer’s estimate of 21,185 kWh a year from the 42-panel, 17.85 kW array, converted at the EPA’s national rates (Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator); average home use from the U.S. EIA. Upstate New York’s grid is already cleaner than average, so the local offset is smaller. Real output varies with the weather.
“My sisters and I came for a wedding weekend and could not have asked for a better home base.”
Four bedrooms, four baths and a great room with walls of glass. Room for twelve.

A whole second floor to spread out on: pool table, game table, wet bar, a lounge and its own bedroom, with patio doors to the back of the property.
The Lower Level →
“The Sauna was so clutch after skiing.”
Cedar heat off the spa bath, radiant floors throughout, a wood stove in the great room.
Baths & spa →“…it was absolutely breath taking sitting in the hot tub and taking in the views.”
A hot tub facing the valley, hammocks, and a stone fire ring on the lawn.

“The grounds, the hammocks, the peaceful energy — all of it — so thoughtful and well-designed.”
Across the meadow and through the old fieldstone wall: a deck in the hardwoods for yoga, meditation and intimate acoustic sets.
The Clearing →Come for the weekend. Stay for the seasons.
“Even in the wintertime it didn't feel cramped at all with 8 adults and 1 toddler”
