4 Bed Room Cozy Escape | Hiking, Mountain Creek, Warwick | Nature Views

Welcome to The Canopy at MacKenzie Lane — an updated, cozy 4 bedroom, 2 bath condo with nature views located in Vernon, NJ around 50 miles from NYC.

This newly renovated end-unit condo is tucked into the treetops and just minutes from multiple ski slopes, hiking, Mountain Creek Resort, Minerals Hotel & Spa, Crystal Springs, and the farm-to-table charm of Warwick, NY.

Originally designed for our own family stays, every detail reflects quality, warmth, and intention—from the furnishings to the finishes. The property is surrounded by nature, with views into the canopy and frequent sightings of local wildlife like deer, fox, and even bears (currently momma and 3 cubs), all from the comfort of the private balcony and private patio. Or cozy up by the fireplace that turns on with the flip of a switch.

This house seemed newly renovated and spotlessly cleaned. The house was well stocked with utensils, towels, games, and working amenities. We learned how friendly the neighbors were on our dog walks. The host was available every time we needed, but we didn’t need her much. We will definitely be checking future availability every time we need to hit some local mountains.

This home is an absolute gem! Very clean, all the amenities including shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Plenty of bath towels, kitchenware, spices. Host left us coffee supplies for keurig. We were two families and there was plenty of space for all of us. The kids loved the downstairs area for hanging out. The beds were super comfortable! Brand new washer and dryer. We stayed here while our kids went snowboarding at mountain creek and it’s a convenient 5 minute drive from the mountain. Host was quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely be back for another stay!

It was our annual golf trip to the Crystal Springs courses. This property was immaculate. There were more than enough linens and towels. Plenty of clean fresh ice, coffee, supplies - couldn't ask for more. All appliances worked perfectly (the ones we used) and modern technology for entry, TV, internet, etc. It was our first time staying here and as long as it's available it won't be our last.

The host was responsive and helpful. The unit had a couple of shortcomings, especially with the very cold weather. First the heat was not even throughout and the downstairs was particularly cold, even with the thermostat set at 72, which is higher that I would normally set the heat. Second the bedding (blankets) could use an upgrade. Other than that the unit was very clean and well stocked with coffee, kitchenware, soaps, etc. Overall, a good place to stay for skiing at Mountain Creek.

Family Trip

4 adults, 3 kids, and 2 dogs all stayed comfortably in this beautiful house. The house has updated finishes and is very well equipped. We all had beds without feeling crammed in. There was sufficient living space upstairs and downstairs for the kids and grown up to have separate social activities - we loved the arcade game and board games available in the basement! The kitchen had a great number of pots/pans/cooking utensils for us to easily make family dinners. Its very clear the hosts put a lot of thought into how to set up this space for cozy, very comfortable family vacations. The hosts were wonderful and very hospitable with clear instructions and check-ins to offer welcome, tips and answers to our questions. I would highly recommend and absolutely consider staying her again!

About the host

Hosted by Sara Schwandt

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Sara—host of The Canopy at MacKenzie Lane.
My husband Krys and I are avid travelers, parents to 4 amazing kids, and passionate about creating spaces that feel like a true retreat. We fell in love with the Vernon area for its nature, food, and simplicity—and renovated this space as a getaway for our own family.

We designed The Canopy with flexibility, comfort, and connection in mind, and we’re thrilled to now share it with guests. Whether you're here for a weekend of skiing, a wellness retreat, a wedding, or just some fresh mountain air, we want it to feel peaceful, thoughtful, and easy.

If you need anything during your stay—or just want local tips—I’m always happy to help. Welcome to The Canopy at MacKenzie Lane!

Why they chose this property

We chose The Canopy at MacKenzie Lane because it offers that rare combination of feeling like you're perched in the treetops—surrounded by nature and peace—without the hassle of stairs or isolation. As avid travelers and parents to 4 kids, we wanted a place where our own family could relax easily, connect comfortably, and enjoy the beauty of the region without hauling luggage up flights of stairs.

This end-unit retreat gave us that sense of quiet escape, just minutes from skiing, spas, wineries, and hiking trails. We designed it to feel like home—with cozy touches, flexible spaces, and the kind of thoughtful details that make a trip truly restful. Now we’re excited to share it with guests who want the same.
