About this house rental

Escape to your private nature retreat at Dream House — a cozy, artfully curated home perched on the scenic slopes of the Shawangunk Ridge, just minutes from Minnewaska State Park and the dramatic Stony Kill Falls. Surrounded by forest and sky, this peaceful two-bedroom hideaway is the perfect basecamp for hiking, climbing, creative work, or quiet reconnection.

The home blends rustic charm with modern comfort and boutique hospitality. Inside, you’ll find two serene bedrooms with plush queen beds and premium bedding for deep rest. A handcrafted L-shaped couch, built by local artists, anchors the living room — perfect for conversation by the wood-burning stove. A hallway futon offers extra sleeping space for larger groups. The fully stocked bathroom features a walk-in shower with stone-look tile, warm wood paneling, and natural body products by Puracy.

The kitchen, with a forest-facing window, invites home-cooked meals and long, slow mornings. We provide essentials including salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, high-end coffee and tea, plus incense, essential oils, and a humidifier to elevate the sensory experience.

Dream House isn’t just a place to sleep — it’s designed to help guests slow down and feel connected. You’ll find original artwork by Ilias Muratov and a meaningful library filled with reflective reads. Thoughtful touches throughout the space reflect our approach to hospitality: clean, high-quality, and always a little magical.

Step outside and you’ll find two outdoor porches for sipping, stargazing, or simply breathing deeply. The covered front porch welcomes quiet mornings, while the back porch opens toward the forest for a more secluded vibe. Solar lights and wooden signage add subtle charm and help you find your way home in the evening.

We’ve hosted thousands of guests over the years — creatives, couples, adventurers, and families — and many return year after year. Whether you're spending the day exploring Minnewaska’s lake trails, tasting local wine, or curled up with a book, Dream House is built to support your journey.

Two bedrooms with premium queen mattresses
L-shaped couch and additional futon
Wood-burning stove (firewood provided)

This pricey cottage is tucked away in an enclave off 44/55. We did not hear the highway. The rooms were very clean and had what we needed for our short stay (we had emergency at home, so stayed 1 night only). The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of closet space. We did not use the kitchen, except fridge.We could not cancel in the last few days when our home was hit by a storm and serious damage. Access to the house was tricky. Our cell phones did not work near the rear exit to click onto access code link to get in! The access code did not work in the back where we parked. We did not have the access code earlier. In front of the house my husband got his cell to open the link. Getting access coded before arrival would make life easier.The cottage has no TV, which my husband would have enjoyed to relax after a long 2.5 hr. drive. The house is high tech (I am sure the young adults would love)—main door access code, AC/heat is by remote on wall. But for us older folks, the tech light switch in bathroom was a bit annoying. I prefer a simple old fashioned on/off switch.I dont like having an electrical cord and power pack running along the wall behind my mattress - no headboard. It felt somewhat unsafe. The battery operated candles in main bedroom and the living room lights were not easy to shut off. I had to power off multiple candle batteries by hand as I cannot sleep with flickering candles or light in my bedroom. It is pricey for Kerhonkson area.

I was very happy with the property. I shared the place with my adult children for a family wedding. It was wonderful to have some quality, screenfree, engaging time with them. We took full advantage of the games and cards provided. The bedding was sooo comfy that I came home and ordered the same pillows that were there. I would definitely add the fact that the water is “well water” to the listing so people know in advance to bring water. All in all a great experience.
