About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Best of both worlds! Amazing views plus an easy walk into town!

Take in the gorgeous views of Mohonk and The Gunks! Or walk through the back yard to the scenic Walkill Valley Rail Trail leading to the historic town of New Paltz just over a mile away. This spacious three bedroom, two bathroom home has everything you need for making amazing memories together!

The perfect getaway for a family or group, enjoy time together in the great room, sharing a meal, watching a movie on the 50" flatscreen, playing games (both video and board) or just relaxing on cozy couches as you watch the sun set over the gunks. Or have fun lounging in Adirondack chairs while toasting marshmallows around the outdoor fire pit. Then retire to one of the three quiet bedrooms, and enjoy a good night of sleep on a quality queen memory-foam mattresses with plenty of comfortable pillows and extra blankets. The Cottage promises to inspire creative flow. With plenty of space, a full washer/dryer and a kitchen that's ready to go! Enjoy an extended stay and build as many happy New Paltz memories as you can!

The organic farm across the road from the property is open seasonally and sells excellent produce. And our dead end street leads to one of the most scenic walkover bridges in New Paltz: the Dodd’s Farm overlook. While there, try to spot the eagle who enjoys perching on the big craggy tree beside the creek! 23.7 miles of hiking/biking starts right out the back door and connects Rosendale to Gardner, and the amazing new River to Ridge (R2R) trail and more!

Lovely sunsets each night over the ridge from the big windows in the living room; the rail trail into town is behind the backyard allowing for ease of access, while the trees in summer provide privacy; the town has 3 legitimate vegan places to eat; and, of course, New Paltz is on the edge of dozens of beautiful hiking trails and carriage roads. The house was exceptionally clean; all the appliances worked well; a surplus of towels was appreciated; and all of the board games one would want to enjoy as the sun went down were available. The owners responded quickly and effectively and left us mercifully to ourselves, while making check in and check out easy.

Great location

Lovely spacious clean home fully equipped . My only complaint is the internet. Worked when we first checked in then lost it. We checked the tv and it said full signal but tv not connected. It did not work with our own personal devices either. Weather was a bit iffy and we hoped to entertain the younger children ( two young girls) with a movie night. There were DVDs but not really movies appropriate for them. Other than that the place was great! Very close to attractions and very nice that we walked across the street and picked fresh strawberries at the farm.

Great getaway

We loved staying at this cottage. Beautiful view of the funks. Across from a working farm. Super quiet slept so well on the comfortable beds. The kitchen is well equipped and the house very close drive to New Paltz. The Primary bedroom shower head didn’t provide great water pressure was the only issue otherwise fantastic!

Cozy, yet spacious home.

We loved our stay in this cozy house near New Paltz. Even thought there were two families and 6 of us, it did not feel crowded, and everyone had space to stretch out and enjoy the views or the myriad different types of entertainments. The place was clean and the kitchen well stocked with basics, but also enough cooking supplies that we felt able to stay in and prepare our own meals. We would definitely come again, and are already eyeing next year's Thanksgiving break.

House in the Gunks!

Our Christmas family get-away was truly wonderful given the lovely home we were able to spend it in! The location was great with the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail directly out the backyard, close proximity to New Paltz and the view of the Gunks was spectacular! The house had everything (and more!) one would need from a fully-stocked kitchen - comfortable beds and linens - an abundance of towels - tv's in all the rooms and a wide assortments of games for all ages. The hosts communicated well from the minute we reserved the house. We would give this house 10 stars if able! Thank you Laurie and Brett for sharing your home with us!!

Beautiful house with view of the mountains, next to bike trail and near town with all the amenities

We have stayed here 7 years in a row and every year it’s a perfect getaway. It is right on the rail trail (which has been improved) and a few miles from the town of New Paltz and a place to rent kayaks. It has all the amenities one would ever need and the hosts have always been responsive.

I quiet get away

I took my family here for a quiet vacation for a week and it matched perfectly. It was close to main street and other attractions. The view was amazing, you can sit on the couch and watch the sun set. The beds were comfy,and the place was amazingly clean. The only con i can find is that the steps on the porch didnt have hand rails which was hard for my parents, but was not a deal breaker. I will keep this place in mind for another trip in the future.

Loved waking up and enjoying my coffee just staring at the view. Home is beautiful and immaculately clean! Right on the rail trail where we enjoyed hikes and bike riding!

Perfect house - New Paltz has so much to offer

Two couples, longtime friends, spend a most wonderul time at this property. Laurie and Brett were truly amazing to work with from the very beginning and provided many suggestions as to where to hike/bike and dine. The house has a stunning view of the Gunks and one looks over a working oranic farm with a "picking garden" for the public., directly across the street. The house is lacking nothing! We biked (so many choices), visited Storm King and enjoyed two delightful dinners. Highly recommend.
