Newly Renovated Family Vacation in the Shawanagunk - New Palt
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose New Paltz
We love the New Paltz area! We started coming here years ago to rock climb in the gunks. Since we have had kids we have discovered, many beautiful hikes, swimming holes, farms, horseback riding, berry and apple picking. It is really great to have an escape from the city, the kids love it, we don't even have to leave our back yard to have a relaxing nature filled vacation!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our house is back from the road, and opens onto huge deck that overlooks a beautiful back yard. We have a new cedar jungle gym that entertains the kids for hours, as well as a large sand pit. Behind our yard we have acres of woods to walk, ski, snowshoe and toboggan in. We loved that our house has some country charm and does not feel at all suburban. Our property has a stream that runs along besides it, you can walk along this stream to get to a beautiful waterfall.
Another very cute town with a couple of good restaurants, caf�s and a flea market.

We started coming to this area years ago to rock climb. Now we love to get away with the whole family when we get the chance. The kids love being able to run free in the back yard and experience nature.

Fabulous home - a perfect escape from the city!

We just returned from a wonderful 4 days in this house. Everything was as it was described and the layout was just perfect for a family. We had 2 couples and 2 kids (age 4 & 5) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The open kitchen/dining/living area was a great place for everyone to hang out. The weather was perfect fall weather and the kids played in the huge yard and on the play set. The adults were fighting over time in the hammock and everyone enjoyed walking in the woods and down to the stream. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was well-stocked, which made it easy. Donna, the owner, was super-responsive and had great ideas and suggestions for us. Very close to New Paltz and conveniences, but felt very quiet and like a real escape!! Highly recommend this wonderful home! We will be back for sure.

Rented the property for a relaxing weekend getaway with a group of friends. The house was spacious, funky, clean and met our needs well. Most of our days were spent exploring the surrounding area (rail trails by New Paltz, hiking at Minnewaska State Park) but enjoyed a leisurely start to the day over breakfast in the huge kitchen and dining area, looking out on to the deck and back yard (perfect for families with kids). Enjoyed dinner at the Red Brick Tavern in Rosendale and the Gilded Otter in New Paltz, both just a 10 minute drive from the house. Got a little lost the first night - try to arrive during daylight to get your bearings. GPS is not necessarily helpful. Owner Donna was helpful and responsive to all questions prior to our stay.

We have visited this home two times and both times enjoyed it immensely. Pre and post renovation, this was a super family friendly space, providing lots of indoor and outdoor areas for fun. Our recent trip in September was a blast. The new renovations are amazing, with a HUGE master bedroom with amazing views of the property. The open kitchen was great for entertaining and we had many delicious meals here. Although there is a table to eat at, we had all our meals around the the new island. We are hoping to be back in April. Donna was very flexible and answered emails right away.

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the house. The home is very cozy, welcoming, and full of children's spirit. There is everything you might need in the kitchen to make a nice meal. And the sauna is a great bonus for a winter day! The owner was very nice and propmt in communication which also made us feel welcomed.

We loved this house. The property is amazing. We walked and walked through the snow and felt like we were in the forest of the fairy tales. And we made amazing meals. The six children with us loved the playroom and the grown ups made some amazing meals and sat around feeling altogether dreamy. Donna anticipated our every need and even though she was miles away we felt her hand in getting us there and all settled in.

Dear Donna & Michael It has been a week since we left your upstate get- a-way, and I am still riding on the sweet remnants of our time spent up there. I can't say what parts of your house were my favorite because there were too many to name, but in the running was; sleeping to fresh cool air with an open window at my head, eating breakfast on the sunshine drenched deck & feasting to bbq'd everything under the umbrella in a torrential thunder & lightening storm, waking up to the kids already dressed and digging, swinging & running around outside, and having daily swims in the river. The Creek down the hill was so magical, that nothing is really comparing. Needless to say, we had a wonderful & rejuvenating time. Thank you for making it such a wonderful home. If there are any weeks during the year, especially in the fall months coming up. We would love to spend some time there in the various seasons love, Suzanne & the boys
