The space
Immerse yourself and experience your own private indoor movie theater, where you can pause, rewind, fast forward any media you want - complimented with reclining seats for twelve, an immersive 7.1 channel Klipsch Reference Premier Surround System, a top of the line EPSON projector with an absurdly capable ONKYO amplifier - and warm fuzzy blankets for all in your group!

With our Apple TV, you have unrestricted access to our complimentary streaming services including: HBO Max, Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, Disney+, ESPN+, and more!

Want to play a video game at your own theater with our gaming console? Two controllers and an assortment of multi-player games, ready to play!

Watch something from your laptop? Just plug in any one of your devices with an HDMI input (or AirPlay) and kick back!

Awaken your senses with your own private spa retreat, which includes a cold plunge pool, and a Finnish wood-fired sauna for maximum relaxation.

The bath house is completely detached from the main house, just steps away, complemented with radiant flooring.

Pop open the hot tub cover, and soak in the 6 person whirlpool, and let the powerful jets do the work!

Challenge your friends to a game of ping-pong in the game room to see who’s got what it takes to be the Zen Pong Champion, or choose from assortment of board games and life sized outdoor games.

In the evenings, you can unwind and gather around the outdoor fire pit, share stories while enjoying the star-lit sky or cuddle up with your significant other on either of the two hammocks!

PRO-TIP: On a clear night with no clouds, turn off all the lights inside and outside the house, lay back on the hammock or loungers and count how many shooting stars you can see flying through the sky.

We have plenty of indoor and outdoor games including: CornHole, Volleyball, Soccer, Football, and more!

Turning on Airplane mode is highly recommended, though if you don’t want to disconnect entirely, our high speed WiFi mesh system will keep you connected, from the bath house to every level of the home.

Nature isn't in a good mood? Keep the vibe going indoors and start up the fireplace to keep cozy.

The Zen House is family friendly, and I welcome everyone from all walks of life, from every part of the globe!

Want to bring your furry one with you? We welcome all trained pets with open arms, at no additional cost!

The Zen House is tucked away in the up and coming town of Livingston Manor, NY.

Just 2 hours from NYC!

The town prides itself in having just about everything within a short drive from the home.

One of the key things about the location is that we are just minutes away from the Willowemoc Wild Forest in the heart of the Catskill Mountains.

I am always available to answer any questions, help prepare for your trip, assist with any special requests you may have, and for local tips & attractions.

Prior to your arrival, you will be sent a relatively comprehensive manual which includes house rules, things to do around town, check in-instructions, emergency contact information, and other general info.
