The Open Sky Room is a spacious, light-washed bedroom in the Garden Cottage Annex, designed for calm, clarity, and full-body exhale.
Vaulted ceilings and symmetrical architecture give the room a sense of openness, while soft neutral walls and white bedding keep the atmosphere clean and restorative. A sculptural wood ceiling fan, vintage wood furnishings, and thoughtfully placed art add character without visual noise. The bold woven rug anchors the space with warmth and energy, balancing the room’s airy simplicity.
Centered around a large window with views of the grounds, this room feels both expansive and cocooning, ideal for guests who want room to breathe, reflect, and reset.
For Edge of Spring, the Open Sky Room supports the retreat flow beautifully:
settle into stillness and reconnect inward,
rejoin shared moments from a grounded center,
and step into the months ahead feeling clear, energized, and open.
A beautifully proportioned sanctuary for deep rest and renewed perspective.
Please note that you will be sharing a bathroom with one other guest.
About the Farm House + Garden Cottage:
Once home to jazz legend Artie Shaw—who said “The place where for the first time in my life I had found a real home, a warm sense of security, and a feeling of calm and peace of mind”—Picardy Farms continues to radiate that same grounding, creative energy.
The Garden Cottage offers the best of both worlds: privacy when you want to reset, and seamless access to shared spaces when you want to gather. Thoughtfully designed for retreat weekends, it blends comfort, calm, and easy flow for small groups or breakout sessions.
Garden Cottage Layout: Semi-attached 3-bedroom home with a peaceful, private feel and convenient connection to the larger compound
Living Space: Cozy, intentional common area for conversation, journaling, tea, or quiet downtime between sessions
Kitchen + Dining: Practical, fully usable kitchen and dining area for casual breakfasts, shared meals, and nourishing retreat snacks
Outdoor Access: Immediate access to Picardy Farms’ 10 private acres plus 33-acre preserve, with meadows, wooded trails, and Catskill-facing viewpoints
Wellness Access: Full use of the property’s dedicated yoga and meditation studio (in the restored schoolhouse), full gym, and tranquil outdoor areas
