Recreation and relaxation await you at our private 1.75 acre pet and family-friendly home in High Falls, NY on the Roundout Creek. High Falls, NY is located less than 2 hours from NYC near the town of New Paltz in the Shawangunk Mountain range at the foot of the Catskills (“The Gunks”).
Our home is perfectly located just minutes from the area’s most awe-inspiring attractions, the Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park. Local back routes allow you easy and scenic access away from traffic and potentially crowded parking.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby rail trails, hiking and biking paths, rock climbing, water-hole and pool swimming, tennis, golf, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, and snow mobiling. The area is also known for fantastic antiquing and tasty dining, given its proximity to the Culinary Institute of America located just across the river.
Kids of all ages will have fun apple picking, petting animals at the nearby family farm and nature center, romping in the local playground, roller skating and skateboarding at the indoor rink, bowling, ice skating, and visiting the Mid Hudson Children’s Museum.
But you don’t even need to leave the house for fun-filled adventures. Canoe or kayak from your own backyard on the wide and scenic Roundout Creek. (You can even canoe right into town or drop a line and fish for trout and bass). Step right next door to the Stone Dock Golf Course to golf, sled, or cross country ski. Play basketball in the driveway. Take a dip in the hot tub. Swing on the hammock. Or lie back and relax on the deck with your burgers on the grill and do nothing but enjoy the farmland views.
Our house is stocked with virtually everything you and your family will need for a comfortable stay, including many items for babies, toddlers, and kids including a pack and play bed, high chair, and many books and toys. An excellent grocery, pharmacy, liquor store, and video store are less than 10 minutes away along with an ATM and gas.

The Perfect Retreat

My husband and I along with some other friends (plus 3 dogs!) enjoyed a pleasant fall weekend here. The pictures on VRBO do NOT do this property justice. It is even lovelier than the pictures convey. The location is great as it's secluded enough so that you feel like you're able to get away from it all, yet close enough to area attractions. The house itself was quite spacious and comfortable. The large number of windows and doors in the house allow an amazing amount of light in, which was very nice and made the house feel quite cozy. It was simply and tastefully decorated. The view from the deck is just breathtaking. It was just so relaxing to be able to sit on the deck and admire the landscape. There were plenty of amenities and to top it off, Greg, the owner, was very friendly and responsive to questions and concerns. Overall, it was truly great experience. We’d definitely come back in the future and would high recommend this place.

My wife & I and our two dogs spent four relaxing nights at this beautiful house in High Falls, NY. The house is on a multi-acre property, overlooking a creek and is very private. Woke up a few mornings to deer in the backyard. Numerous hiking opportunities are very local: Mohonk Mountain House is only a 10 min drive and the beautiful state park of Minnewaska is less than 30 min. The owner Greg was very helpful as well as patient with all of our numerous requests/questions. Highly recommended!
