Excellent stay in Mohonk's foothills
This house is great and is definitely a place to stay in warm months with so much to do. The property is amazing and well appointed and clean. Easy access to trails, beautiful views, and so much to do inside and out. We really enjoyed our stay. If we had to make a complaint, it was that the recreation space is detached and in winter, difficult to heat. The woodburning fireplace in the living wasn't in order so that was a bit of a disappointment, but none of it was enough to ruin our stay or outlook of this property! We loved everything this house has to offer and will be back for sure!

Extended birthday for the Mr ♥️
Even Mother Nature could dampen our weekend with the convenient location of this beautiful property. Despite the rain on Saturday, we were still able to make it over to Gertrude’s Nose since it’s only 5 minutes away (including parking!!) to Minnewaska. From the comfortable beds to the lovely feeling of being in a home, Michele makes you feel like a guest - not a renter. We’ll definitely be back.

Great stay in a beautiful location
My husband and I loved our stay at this lovely home! The house had everything we needed and the bed and couches were super comfortable! It was a perfect location to explore the Gunks and New Paltz area! I enjoyed hiking directly from the house into Mohonk Mountain Preserve (I made sure to purchase a year long membership first) and making the short drive to explore Minnewaska State Park. Communication with Michel was super easy and we appreciated her suggestions for exploring, dining and shopping. We'd gladly stay here again. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely spot!

Nice place
Nice place but I am a clean freak and the dishes and silverware in the cabinets/drawers were mostly not clean. Maybe the dishwasher isn’t working too well….we ran the dirty ish dishes but they still weren’t too appealing. We found The shower curtain liner in master bedroom and back hall a bit moldy making showering less appealing. The sheets towels were just fine and the layout of the house is perfect for small children. Great location and beautiful property.

Home was perfect for all ages-on one floor for elderly, equipped for the young, efficient, beautiful inside and outside, with many amenities. We love the Hudson Valley…Bad weather deterred several of our plans requiring us to stay in, this home provided us with a great vacation in spite of the weather. Thank you!

Lovely and quiet retreat for a family gathering
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in New Paltz. The property has enough space for our family to gather for meals and board games, or just to have some alone time. The kids loved the pool. We explored the area, checking out the waterfalls, nature preserve, and cute little town.

Family time
It's a pleasure to see a house so well suited to its surroundings. Great to be able to see the "gunks" from the kitchen and the patio. The climber in our family had easy access to the parking areas and connected with some local very experienced climbers. The recreation building with the lap pool was perfect for our 3 year old especially during inclement weather. The general area is beautiful and it's a treat just to drive around. A quick 15 minutes and you are at Minnewaska State Park or into New Paltz. Robibero winery has excellent wines and the Brooklyn Cider House has great pizza in a lovely setting. Sadly the Mountain Brauhaus chose our week for vacation so we missed what we know to be an excellent meal.

Amazing House and Location!
To start, the house had an incredible layout, was well taken of, very clean, and had awesome amenities. Everyone loved spending time in the game room, pool, and hot tub! The town of New Paltz is really cute with great restaurants/bars and friendly people. The house is very close to many things to do including various difficulty in hikes, Mohonk resort/property, and walking around New Paltz. We loved our stay here and can't wait to return!
