Girls birthday weekend
Very nice house. The property is stunning. The house was well outfitted and we had everything we needed. Went for a hike in Minnewaska preserve and that was gorgeous. Lombardi’s Restaurant was also great and only 1 mile from the house. Would absolutely stay here again.

Gardiner Experience
The house was just as described and suited our needs very well. It was a small, older house in a very peaceful country setting. We used two of the three bedrooms and found the beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, and we appreciated the triple filtered water. It would have been nice to have the stove hood fan working. It was a bit challenging to find the house in the dark, but would not have been any issue in daylight. We would stay again if visiting the area in the future.

Spectacular Views
Truly enjoyed our week long visit to this lovely home. Everything was provided including a welcome bottle of wine. The view from the house is truly stunning with the rising cliffs of the “Gunks” nearby. Plenty of places to hike yet close to the restaurants and shops of New Palz. The hosts are very receptive if you should need help. I highly recommend a visit

Family weekend with our West Point cadet
We had a wonderful weekend with our son who is a West Point cadet. House is an hour from West Point. We relaxed, enjoyed local restaurants, a distillery is 2 miles from the house, and the fairgrounds had a craft show which was 5 miles away. The mountain and horse farm are amazing views! House was clean, beds comfortable, and hosts are very nice and easy to contact if needed.

Thoughtfully Cared for Home Surrounded by Natural Beauty
We stayed here with grandparents and tweens, and it was a wonderful place to relax, enjoy nature and spend time together. The property is absolutely beautiful! We sat on the front lawn chairs enjoying the view of the horses and fields across the way. We even spotted a blue heron while sitting near the pond in the yard, and listening to the sound of the running creek was lovely. The owners were very responsive, and the home was clean and had everything we needed. The Keurig coffee-maker, dishes, pillows, towels, games and books were more than what we needed. We hope to stay again!

A nice and quiet place with a good view of the horse ranch in front, BUT…
I felt that this is still an on going renovation of a 1930-ish old house, many areas still needs lots of work. While many amanuensis has been upgraded, however the master bedroom bathroom is still dated, lacking clothing hooks for towels and a counter for the toiletries. Both bathrooms lack exhaust fan, and the lighting is a bit dark, especially in the dining room, oherwise the place is pleasant, and has potential, an eclectic mix of vintage and modern…. I felt it is not worth the asking price for what it offered.

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend in this charming Gardiner house. The inside of the house is prettier than the pictures. It was very clean and neat. The owners were always responsive and helpful. The property is very nice and faces a horse farm with beautiful views of the mountains. We had such a nice time.

Beautiful location, clean and comfortable home
My two friends and I spent the weekend in this lovely little house. It was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed and then some and was in a such a beautiful, peaceful location. We couldn't decide whether to put our chairs out back by the private pond or up front looking out at the beautiful horse farm with colorful cliffs in the background. I highly recommend this rental.

Cozy house, great view, short drive to lots in the area
My partner and I enjoyed a long weekend here. It was just what we needed - a quiet area yet still well located to nearby hikes + nearby shops/restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away! One heads up: on the listing page is a cleaning fee (quite expensive) and a mandatory insurance policy (either a non refundable fee or a VERY significant deposit with the owner). Not on the listing page is that after you book the owner will request you sign an offline PDF (outside the VRBO platform) as a rental agreement. I understand the owner's concern for taking care of the house, but all agreements should be done through the VRBO platform or explicitly stated otherwise. Overall we had a great time away but I wanted to share this with future guests.

Rainy and humid weather had us high tailing home early, but loved to sit outside at the pond in the late afternoon. Great location near New Paltz and Modena where there is a Hannaford, and short drives to hiking.
