Great Family Birthday Celebration

We had a wonderful family long weekend at Michele’s beautiful home in the Hudson Valley. We were there to celebrate the birthdays of my husband, son, and grandson. The house was comfortable and well equipped to make meals. Michele the host couldn’t be more responsive. There are many great hikes and wineries close by. This was a 5 star expereince enjoyed by all.

Superb Vacation Home

This property was spectacular. Immaculately clean and every detail done well. From a fully stocked and ready to go kitchen, to comfortable beds, sheets and towels. I’ll be back to stay here again and the host Michelle couldn’t have done more. Having had a few disappointing stays in other properties of late, this was a welcome game changer!!!

Holiday reunion

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house. Even though the weather was great, with a hot tub and recreation room, we all had much fun. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots and knives. We cooked every day together and played games. I highly recommend it for a family reunion.

Incredible home and location

The home is incredible and is located so close to New Paltz, hiking, waterfalls, rock climbing, shopping… I could go on and on. We took a short drive to Woodstock and did some shopping and eating there as well. Owners were quick to respond to any questions! Highly recommend!

New Paltz Mountain Stay

Perfect place for a base to visit the area for my mother's 80th birthday. Great views and patios, super quiet and very comfortable. Easy access to much of what the area has to offer and no more than 15 minutes from town.

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.

Fun and peaceful family getaway

This house is perfect for families with young kids and it is in the best location (close to hiking and not far from town). The view of the gorgeous Shawangunk ridge from the kitchen window or backyard is priceless! We highly recommend this house.

Another great stay

Wonderful location. Clean handsome house with all two families could need. Had what was needed to cook in. Hot tub and pool was enjoyed by kids. Very easy to reach Mohonk and Minnewaska for hiking, which was our main activity.

Great family time in the Gunks

Our two families - including 4 adults, one teenager, one 10 year-old, and two small dogs-really enjoyed our stay. Stellar location and hot tub (with heated game room adjoining) was a highlight. Great spot for hiking in nearby Minnewaska and Mohonk and close to New Paltz. We enjoyed cooking and playing games together in this comfortable, clean house.

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!

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!

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!

Wonderful Stay

We had a great experience at this property. The space and surroundings are gorgeous. You have everything you need in the house. We were a group of 3 couples and our dogs and it was ideal. Absolutely recommend! The pool is closed in the winter but everything else is open. We played basketball, used the hot tub, played giant chess outside. We had a blast!

A Home That Has it All

This beautiful home had everything we were looking for. We stayed here with our teenage children and two of their friends. There was always something to do, and beautiful hiking/walking trials so close. We loved the shops in the wonderfully unique village of New Paltz. The house is amazing and the separate game and pool house was great for the kids. Michelle was an excellent and attentive host. We hope to visit again!
