Guests describe an immaculate, thoughtfully designed space with a host who's quick to respond.
Kick back at the foot of the Shawangunk Mountains in this calm, stylish home. Surrounded by forest, the house features large picture windows in every room to help you reconnect with nature. Enjoy the natural stone porch with a fire pit and newly built barrel sauna. Located near Minnewaska State Park, with quick access to trails, and views of Millbrook Ridge and the Gunks’ iconic climbing routes right from the windows.

The space
This house is a true gem which was recently fully renovated and professionally decorated. It feels like a mini retreat center in the mountains. The interior design layout is an open concept modern living room - dining area - kitchen. Living room is equipped with two super comfortable couches that are great for friends’ gathering to enjoy a board game or a movie on an oversized 110" projector screen. We have a high definition XGIMI Horizon home theater projector equipped with the fire TV stick connection to access youtube, prime, netflix etc. All rooms including bedrooms have large picture windows with a great nature view. It feels as if you are sleeping on tree tops!

The house is located in direct view of the Gunks when leafs are off the trees. In fact you can see one of the most iconic climbing routes of the world the famous "Nectar Vector" from the windows !

The house was fully renovated in Dec 2023 and set up specifically for guests by a highly experienced airbnb host. We have thought about every little detail for the guests: comfortable fresh linens, towels, incense, tea candles, natural body products, high quality tea, coffee and more. House sleeps 2 couples very comfortably and 3 couples for maximum occupancy of 6 people. For the maximum occupancy guests can use reclinable sofa bed and two additional dining chairs.

There are abundance of local coffee shops and great restaurants around as New Paltz is about 15 mins and Gardiner Main Street is about 5 mins drive away. Hike in the Minnewaska State Park, enjoy the nature and all the best that Hudson Valley can offer.

Guest access
Entire house and patio is for the guests to enjoy. We have enough parking for 3 cars.

Other things to note
Cleaning:
We clean responsibly using antibacterial products

Outside firepit
We currently do not provide firewood for the guests so please bring your own firewood to make fire outside. We also have fire ban from 15th of March to 15th of May.

Water quality
Water in our area is known to have a lot of minerals due to rock formations (Shawangunks mountains). We do have a private well and fully functional water treatment system which is maintained by professional water service company. Water is safe to drink and quality is checked periodically. Said that water can smell like minerals including Sulphur. It is absolutely safe and we used to this feature of the local water long time ago.

Wildlife and insects
We live in the country surrounded by a lot of forest. Wildlife is present. This might include beavers, racoons, snakes, bears and insects. We do have screens on the windows and doors but insects will still be entering the space no matter how much we want to keep them out.

Fireplace
FIreplace is operational during heating season which is mid of October to mid of May.
