4BR Updated Escape | Minerals, Hiking, Mountain Creek, Warwick | Nature views

Welcome to The Canopy at MacKenzie Lane — an updated, cozy 4 bedroom, 2 bath condo with nature views located in Vernon, NJ around 50 miles from NYC.

This newly renovated end-unit condo is tucked into the treetops and just minutes from multiple ski slopes, hiking, Mountain Creek Resort, Minerals Hotel & Spa, Crystal Springs, and the farm-to-table charm of Warwick, NY. Whether you're here for a ski weekend, family visit, wedding, or wellness retreat, this peaceful, cozy space offers the comfort of home with a boutique-style experience.

Originally designed for our own family stays, every detail reflects quality, warmth, and intention—from the furnishings to the finishes. The property is surrounded by nature, with views into the canopy and frequent sightings of local wildlife like deer, fox, and even bears (currently momma and 3 cubs), all from the comfort of the private balcony and private patio. Or cozy up by the fireplace that turns on with the flip of a switch.
