There is also a 7,200-square-foot barn built in the 1780s that is used as a 10-room inn and spa that caters to an exclusive clientele ”“ The Dutchess goes out of its way not to make itself ubiquitous through marketing, with no social media accounts and a single page website consisting of a drawing of a key with the tag line “A Secret Experience in the Hudson Valley” and an email contact link.
