The space
This 2-bedroom sunny cottage - originally built as a schoolhouse in 1847 and completely renovated in 2013- sleeps up to five people comfortably and provides guests a getaway. The Cottage sits on one edge of a 120-acre farm.

The cottage works well for friends' reunions, families with children, and as a peaceful, romantic escape. Writers have used the cottage for quiet inspiration. Climbers and hikers use it as a base for getting to the Gunks, Mohonk Preserve, and Minnewaska trailheads.

Inside the Schoolhouse, the clean cozy design will leave you rested. Windows and skylights light the great, wood-beamed room where there is comfortable seating for five, a renovated eat-in kitchen, and a dining table. The kitchen has utensils, pots and pans. There’s s coffee maker and tea kettle. The Cottage has cable, a smart TV, and WIFI. There is central air and heat.

The biggest bedroom includes a king bed and looks out on the farm; the second bedroom has twin beds. A generous hallway has another twin bed and a stackable washer/dryer.

Just outside the Schoolhouse, guests enjoy using a Weber Grill for barbeques and sitting on the Adirondack chairs by a fire pit while taking in acred views.

The Cottage is a perfect location to enjoy the Hudson Valley. Ten minutes to Mohonk Preserve trailheads and the Main Streets in New Paltz and Gardiner with fun, nearby restaurants, shopping, art, orchards, and wineries.

Guest access
On the farm, enjoy looking up at the Shawangunk cliffs. You're sure to enjoy walking the carriage trails, meeting the donkeys, ponies, and horses. Amateur photographers will love how the sun lights the farm the mountains, and the animals, etc. Note: While we do not offer trail rides, depending on availability, we can arrange lessons for amateur and advanced, English horse riders lessons.

Lives in New Paltz, New York
Although we never imagined living on a farm - this has to be one of the prettiest places on earth. We love nature. The views of the cliffs, the hawks, deer, wild turkey, it's pretty amazing every day how the light shifts and the colors change. New Paltz is a phenomenal place to live with a great vibe in town and nice people who love outdoor adventures, art, and delicious food. We used to live in San Francisco and thought we'd never live anywhere else, until we got here. Come visit our farm. It's a great place to be. If you've got kids, they will love meeting the donkeys, horses, ponies, chickens, and our friendly dogs: Charlie, Oscar, and Olive.
