Mohonk, Minnewaska, high ceilings, big widows, private - 5 acres

All the best of country living with modern amenities—beautiful views with peace and quiet. Enjoy 2500 sq feet of light, wide-open space, including a loft and elevated wrap around porch. Many compare our home to an art gallery and/or a tree house, since the main living space is on the second level. (There are stairs, about 16 steps to the second floor) along with a third floor loft (another set of stairs about 14 steps). Included in the rental is the residence on the second and third floors. In the warmer months, take a hike on the new mowed paths that encircle and criss-cross our 5 acres!

Not included is the ground floor comprised of garages, storage areas, and our caretaker apartment in the rear. 2 friendly, adolescent Shepherd sisters reside on the property. (You don't have to interact with them at all or you are welcome to meet them)

The home is not childproofed -- not recommended for young (2 - 4 yrs. old), independently mobile children.

Rent it for 2-days, a week, or a month. Escape to fresh air and freedom. There are tons of fun activities nearby in the Hudson Valley including shopping, site-seeing, wineries & breweries, hiking, biking, running (there’s a rail trail nearby and also check out the R to R or River to Ridge Trail), swimming, kayaking, canoeing, climbing, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing.

We are conveniently located to the Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve (as well as the Mohonk Mountain House). In the winter you can see Skytop Tower at Mohonk from the large front Living Room windows. There is also lots of nature, waterfalls, and soul-quenching goodness. Watch the humming birds feed from the kitchen windows, and view all sorts of wildlife — wild turkeys, deer (and fawns in the Spring/Summer), lots of birds and the occasional fox, owl, or bald eagle!

You are in for a treat with the surrounding towns famous for their delicious restaurants (many are farm to table), not to mention the Culinary Institute in nearby Hyde Park. We are near lots of wineries and breweries too! We are also home to the State University of New York at New Paltz, with all of the buzz of a college hub. Also a close drive to the town of Woodstock and Bethel Woods for concerts and performances. Experience all that the Hudson Valley has to offer! Just ask for recommendations. Or check our guidebook (available when you check-in). There is often live music in the warmer seasons, ice cream, apple/fruit picking, farm stands with fresh produce, honey, apple cider doughnuts and other local home made baked goods.

Come spend your Honeymoon, Babymoon, a romantic weekend, or a well-earned vacation/break.
