About this house rental

All the best of country living with modern amenities—beautiful views with peace and quiet. Enjoy 2500 sq feet of light, wide-open space, including a loft and elevated wrap around porch. Many compare our home to an art gallery and/or a tree house, since the main living space is on the second level. (There are stairs, about 16 steps to the second floor) along with a third floor loft (another set of stairs about 14 steps). Included in the rental is the residence on the second and third floors. In the warmer months, take a hike on the new mowed paths that encircle and criss-cross our 5 acres!

Not included is the ground floor comprised of garages, storage areas, and our caretaker apartment in the rear. 2 friendly, adolescent Shepherd sisters reside on the property. (You don't have to interact with them at all or you are welcome to meet them)

The home is not childproofed -- not recommended for young (2 - 4 yrs. old), independently mobile children.

Rent it for 2-days, a week, or a month. Escape to fresh air and freedom. There are tons of fun activities nearby in the Hudson Valley including shopping, site-seeing, wineries & breweries, hiking, biking, running (there’s a rail trail nearby and also check out the R to R or River to Ridge Trail), swimming, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing.

We are conveniently located to the Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve (as well as the Mohonk Mountain House). In the winter you can see Skytop Tower at Mohonk from the large front Living Room windows. There is also lots of nature, waterfalls, and soul-quenching goodness. Watch the humming birds feed from the kitchen windows, and view all sorts of wildlife — wild turkeys, deer (and fawns in the Spring/Summer), lots of birds and the occasional fox, owl, or bald eagle!

You are in for a treat with the surrounding towns famous for their delicious restaurants (many are farm to table), not to mention the Culinary Institute in nearby Hyde Park. We are near lots of wineries and breweries too! We are also home to the State University of New York at New Paltz, with all of the buzz of a college hub. Also a close drive to the town of Woodstock and Bethel Woods for concerts and performances. Experience all that the Hudson Valley has to offer! Just ask for recommendations. Or check our guidebook (available when you check-in). There is often live music in the warmer seasons, ice cream, apple/fruit picking, farm stands with fresh produce, honey, apple cider doughnuts and other local home made baked goods.

Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, babymoon, romantic retreat, or just need a reset, our modern country home is your perfect escape.

Delightful all around. The house is big, open, airy—perfect for a group gathering (we brought instruments and played music all weekend.) It is an interesting and modern space decorated with GORGEOUS works of art. The owner, Denise, is as nice, accommodating and organized as can be. The detailed instructions and tips for the house and for New Paltz left nothing to chance. A great retreat, full of serenity. Thank you, Denise.

Steve was gracious and helpful as we arrived, and the space was just amazing! It was clean and warm in our wintry visit, and it was a marvel to wake up to the surrounding beauty. I would heartily recommend this listing.

Our enthusiasm for this rental is limited only by having to write this on my mobile phone. Every part of our adult, family visit was wonderful. Denise and Steve were welcoming and attentive hosts with whom we could have spent the entire weekend in conversation. The house, as the pictures show, is truly amazing both in its quiet setting as well as spacious architecture and wall-to-wall art. It was so comfortable that it could have been easy to forget the nearby hiking trails and parks for which we had planned the trip. The only thing we all agreed we would have changed is that we should have planned for staying much, much longer. We all would love to return here again.

My friends and I spent the weekend at this beautiful art filled house to get away from work, kids, spouses, and finally have a weekend away. This was the perfect setting.Denise is great, very friendly, and was happy to answer all of our questions -- even help identify amphibian sounds. She and her husband are great hosts. ... and have super cute dogs.We were glad to see the clear instructions and recommendations -- always a plus during any stay so that everything is easy to find and clearly communicated. They thought about everything(!) even first aid kits. Also: for anyone with allergies, though I can't confirm, given that none of us had any issues I think they use Free & Clear (or a similar low-allergen detergent) to wash the linens. The only weirdness was having to download an app to have more control over the lights was uncomfortable -- I don't need another app on my phone, and I'd rather just turn them on and off without a preprogrammed time. Denise deprogrammed it and we were able o keep the lights on as long as we wanted. It had one of the best appointed kitchens I've seen (check out the kitchen map when you check in, and pull the drawers all the way out, they are amazingly deep). The giant windows were fantastic for watching a summer storm pass through, and let in a lot of light. Note that unless you are an early riser, you may want to consider bringing a sleep mask -- this is especially true of you are sleeping in the loft space. The large windows are gorgeous, so any morning sun is worth it. One other note: while the water is definitely safe to drink from the tap, it's treated and has some flavor, if you are sensitive to that, just get some store bought.We spent time hiking and visiting the gallery on the New Paltz campus. We bought meat from the dairy farm up the road and fruits and veggies from the near by farm stands -- we highly recommend doing that if you are cooking in. Beautiful hummingbirds, fireflies, and views make this a very charming retreat. The art by local artists in the house was gallery-level great. One suggestion: small notes about who the artists are would be great.We 100% recommend this stay.
