General Information

Thyme in the Country is an 1880's farmhouse on 5 pastoral acres in the heart of Columbia County, New York. We feel very fortunate and proud to be part of a community with so much to offer visitors looking for a meaningful get-a-way. Surrounded by scenic beauty and agricultural farmland, we strive to reflect this heritage in our accommodations. Helping you put together a vacation experience interwoven with our local culture is what we enjoy the most. From skating in the moonlight over a frozen pond, to jumping from a swing into a pile of fall leaves, we try our best to have our guests relax and enjoy the peace of country living at its simple best. We are committed to healthy and sustainable living, and "green" principles are incorporated into every aspect of what we do-from the food we serve to the electricity we use. We live environmentalism and promote it and pass the benefits on to our guests.

Innkeepers

• Innkeeper(s): Mary Koch
  Herbs; growing them, cooking with them, decorating and learning about their folk lore has always been one of our hobbies. We have created a bed and breakfast that combines this hobby with our lifestyle, having an emphasis on ecology and interwoven with the local culture. The result has been a more meaningful experience for me and my 11 year old son, for each guest and hopefully for our local community.
• The innkeepers speak: English, French
• Pet(s) on the property: 2 cows and 22 chickens
