Peace and quiet

Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Peaceful mornings, starry nights, and Hudson Valley magic and calm awaits! Near New Paltz, Kingston and other HV destinations. Relax after a day of hiking, biking, climbing, dining & exploring the beautiful Hudson Valley in your private, clean & cozy cottage. This former artist studio's creative décor reflects the local artists the area is known for. Your private patio features a fire table for comfort & ambiance. Complimentary snacks & S'mores. Just a 90 min +/- drive from the NYC area.

The space
Upon entering the clean, cozy and bright 220 sq ft Garden Studio we hope you'll be delighted with how comfortable, clean, efficient, and homey it feels.

The queen size bed has a memory foam topped mattress and cotton linens.

Central heat/AC with HEPA filtration system and humidity control assures ultimate year round comfort.

The Smart TV has Roku and an HDMI port to plug in your personal streaming device or laptop.

A highlight is the roomy, private garden patio space with seating, BBQ grill (seasonal) and fire table. Snacks, S'mores, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water and sparkling water are provided! A minifridge, microwave, sink, and dishes allow for enjoying premade meals during your stay.

The Garden Studio is one mile from the center of Rosendale and the New Paltz town line; 5 miles from the center of New Paltz; 8 miles from Kingston and a 30 minute drive to Rhinebeck and Woodstock. All great places that offer a variety of outdoor activities, cultural events and great local restaurants and shopping! Darlings, a popular restaurant and gathering place with live music and outdoor seating is just a short 4 minute walk away.

The main house (not the Studio) is home to 3 indoor/outdoor cats that are very shy and never enter the Studio. We also have backyard chickens that live in a coop on our property.

Please be aware that the property is in a rural, country setting with neighbors close by (all friendly!). Even with our high standards for cleanliness, an occasional ant, spider, beetle, stinkbug, fly, mosquito, gnat, or grasshopper may find it's way into the Studio from your patio area. We understand that encountering bugs during your stay can be a cause for concern, but we want to reassure you that it is perfectly normal for a property in this area to have insects.
Our team regularly takes measures to minimize their presence, such as routine and safe pest control and thorough cleaning, but please keep in mind that bugs are a part of the local ecosystem and can enter the property despite our best efforts.

Guest access
The entire enclosed, private patio area and guest studio will be entirely yours. Parking is in our shared driveway where there is guest parking for one vehicle or two small vehicles. On street parking is not allowed.

We live on the property. The Studio is a separate building and there is a 10+ ft. walkway area between the main house and the Studio.

We love to meet our guests but also highly respect your privacy. Interaction is up to you!

Other things to note
The ENTIRE property is a "tobacco smoke free zone". No smoking/vaping of any kind is allowed inside the Studio.

PLEASE NOTE: Our home, grounds and garage, all next to the Garden Studio, is undergoing a number of improvement projects and updates. The work isn't being done at the Studio but on our home and near the parking area. Please excuse appearances!

Upon request, we will provide a single air mattress for two guests who prefer a second bed.
For small families, we can also accommodate a third guest that is a child under the age of 10 ONLY for an extra charge of $30/night (unfortunately the space and utilities cannot accommodate 3 adult guests).
