The space
Space description:

An excellent location in New Paltz for this spacious, quiet, and private studio apt with full kitchen and bath within a private home. One super-comfortable queen-sized bed and one twin bed with a comfy organic latex mattress.

Only Young Living products (pure, plant based, no harsh chemicals) are used to keep the apartment clean, and we supply the same for bath soap, shampoo, and dish soap. Better for you and for our Earth. We also provide a diffuser and essential oils for focus, restful sleep, uplifting mood, etc. Enjoy!

From the house it's an easy and pleasurable one mile stroll to downtown New Paltz on our country road or the wooded walking/biking trail.

If you’re traveling from NYC without a car, you can take the Adirondack Trailways bus to New Paltz from the Port Authority Terminal. Once in New Paltz you can either walk (about 1 mile) or take taxi ($5) to the house. You can also reach New Paltz via Amtrack or Metro North trains to Poughkeepsie, then taxi/uber or UCAT bus from Poughkeepsie to New Paltz.

The Water Street Market and the rest of New Paltz cafes, shops, and organic vegetable farms are a 20-30 minute walk and even faster bike ride from this spacious and peaceful apartment on a most desirable country road frequented by walkers, joggers, and cyclists.

By car, you will be 5-15 minutes from the Mohonk Preserve, Mohonk Mountain House, and Minnewaska State Park.

But leave the car behind as you bicycle (bikes available for your use) the Walkill Valley Rail Trail north to the quaint village of Rosendale, south to the bucolic village of Gardiner, or head west to the Mohonk Preserve bicycle and walking paths.

Return home to rest on the patio or soak in the awesome hot tub with its inspirational wooded mountain views and perpetually singing wild birds, or have a nice sweat in the infrared sauna.

This is a perfect place to unwind, relax and use as a base for all your Hudson Valley adventures!

Other things to note
There are a couple of very old reviews mentioning a sulfur odor in the tap water, however in 2021 we installed a specialized filtration system to remove the sulfur and that is no longer an issue. Our tap water is totally chemical free, non-chlorinated, clean, and delicious.

Neighborhood highlights

This is a great neighborhood with old shade trees, a community rail trail steps away, located in a country and peaceful atmosphere yet extremely convenient to all that New Paltz and its surrounding area has to offer, such as:

- the Shawangunk Ridge with the absolute most spectacular rock climbing, scrambling, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, biking and hiking east of the Rocky Mountains, with water holes, falls, streams, cascades, and spring fed glacial "sky" lakes --- the reason why I can't move away : ) --- you can access all this within a 5 to 20 minute drive!

- access to night life after an exhilarating day on the ski slopes of Hunter Mt. and Belleayre, each about 1 hour away

- being a college town in an outdoor enthusiast's paradise inspires an interesting mix of restaurants, cafes, bookstores, local shops, antique dealers, festivals, culture, and history, against an iconic mountain backdrop

- a sky diving ranch 5 minutes drive away

- historic Huguenot Street boasting the oldest stone houses in the country

- a nature sanctuary (adjacent to Huguenot Street) replete with wildlife and a huge variety of wild birds amidst serene wetland pathways

- a university with theaters, tennis courts, running tracks, museum and planetarium

- Mohonk Mountain House (Victorian-era castle) where you can dine and/or spa and/or ice skate in rustic elegance and luxury that is kind of indescribable

- the Walkway Over the Hudson (about a 15 minute drive) where you can experience from high above the water, the majesty of the mid-Hudson River

- kayak the Wallkill River (the launch is 10 minute walk, just down the street) and you are almost certain to spot great blue herons and other majestic wildlife

- visit several organic farms, farmer markets, vineyards, distilleries, wineries, and breweries

- improve your well-being with numerous massage (New Paltz Therapeutic Massage Center is 5 minute walk from here), yoga studios, pilates, acupuncture, chiropractor-care, and day spas

- indulge in apple, peach, strawberry, blackberry, blueberry and pumpkin picking
