The Villa Retreat is a very special place! We hosted a weekend yoga retreat here and the accommodations satisfied every need. The setting is serene, and the house is very clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. We will definitely be returning in the future!
We are visiting from CA and had some of our family meet us here. Gorgeous home that comfortably fit all of us for some quality family time. The beds were cozy and the kitchen well stocked. We spent a lot of time on the property running in the fields, catching fireflies, watching movies and playing board games. Lots of great hiking trails in the area too. Really enjoyed our time and would absolutely stay here again!
We booked this house for a long weekend to catch up with friends and relax and in certainly delivered - comfortable lodgings, ample space, and great amenities. I would certainly rent this listing again, as well as recommend it to others.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa. It was a wonderful and relaxing getaway, just as described. The property was well-equipped and met all our expectations. Communication with the property manager was smooth and efficient—he went out of his way to accommodate our needs, even providing a high chair for our baby upon request. This thoughtful gesture will surely benefit future guests with young children. We would be happy to return and highly recommend this villa to others.
As an experienced host and local area enthusiast, I take immense pride in curating spaces that are far more than just a place to stay—they are designed to create memorable, meaningful experiences for every guest. I’m passionate about sharing the natural beauty of the Gunks (Shawangunk Ridge) and creating spaces where guests can recharge, reconnect, and find peace or inspiration.
Every detail of our properties has been thoughtfully considered to ensure your comfort, delight, and relaxation. From fresh, luxurious linens and handpicked natural body products to high-quality teas, coffees, and small surprises, everything has been selected with intention and heart. We are also deeply committed to cleanliness and quality, running a solid operation that prioritizes your satisfaction.
In addition to hosting, I’m a skydiving instructor at Skydive the Ranch. I love introducing first-timers to the magic of flying and seeing them overcome their fears. Whether you’re here to explore the beauty of our properties on the ground or to take to the skies with me, I look forward to sharing this special place with you.
