Be enticed by New Paltz

You'll find charming New Paltz peppered with rough-stone houses raised by European settlers, and imbued with such a down-to-earth NY charm that there's always an excuse to stay another week, or two. In fact, New Paltz vacation rentals draw all sorts of people these days. Adventurers come to scale the rock faces of the Shawangunk Ridge. Students fill the pubs and the lecture halls of the State University of New York. History buffs trawl Huguenot Street. Free thinkers and New Agers discuss in the cafes. It's a kaleidoscope of local life.

Landmarks and landmasses in New Paltz

New Paltz is home to the living history museum that is long and winding Huguenot Street. It's dotted on either side with lichen-peppered stone cottages and farmhouses dating all the way back to the 1700s. Once you're done touring the National Register stops there, you can head to the hills that overshadow them. They loom up with the peaks of the Mohonk Preserve to the west. Clad in forests and carved with challenging rock climbing faces, they also host the Mohonk Mountain House – a classic, grand old dame of a building that's now a spa.

Expeditions around the NY ridges in New Paltz
