If you are unfamiliar with Poughkeepsie and the Dutchess County/Hudson Valley Region, it is a combination of tremendous natural beauty and recreation alongside the conveniences of suburban life and college towns.  You are surrounded by restaurants, breweries, vineyards, orchards, rivers, mountains and parks while also being proximate to the metropolitan centers of New York City (90 minutes south by train or car) and Albany (90 minutes north by train or car).  At Creature Comforts, you can live whatever urban, suburban or rural life you desire outside of work.   

Sound too good to be true? Well it’s not!  We're not just Whistling Dixie here, we are for real!  So, come jump on the bandwagon, jam with us and march to the beat of our drum!   We can make beautiful music together.  Mic Drop!
