Cozy Homes, Made for Staying In

By Sarah Burris


Warning: you may want to curl up on the couch immediately. These homes don’t just have fireplaces and exposed beams—they create a kind of cozy that practically requires a cashmere throw and a long weekend. The kind that makes winter feel less like a season and more like an excuse to stay in. 

Here are a few BHS homes that make staying in the better plan.

County Route 19


Set amid meadows, a stream, and a private lake, Hawkskill pairs Hudson Valley charm with a cathedral-ceilinged library that practically asks you to settle in and stay awhile. It’s the perfect spot to cozy up with a good book.

322 Rose Hill Road


With original hand-carved woodwork and four working fireplaces, Rosemary Lodge shows that cozy can be historic, handcrafted, and entirely unforgettable.

Stagecoach Road


With exposed beams overhead and a wood stove glowing softly at its center, this Hillsdale retreat on seven pristine acres feels like architecture and nature settling in together, a kind of cozy that makes staying home intentional.

421 Edge Of Woods Road


With a fireplace anchoring the living room and French doors opening to the outdoors, this Water Mill home delivers a lighter kind of cozy, where layered whites and soft textures make staying in feel effortlessly tranquil.
