The location, bordering the Mohunk Preserve is incredible. There is a trail right off the property that takes you to the base of the Gunks, which was truly ideal for the rock climbers in our group. The house was clean and comfortable, and the host was quick to respond to communications and was very accommodating, even arranging for an early check-in.

Peaceful and serene mountain retreat. We loved every minute of this lovely home. Felt like we were sitting in a lovely treehouse. Had breakfast on back porch this morning listening to the birds. Just a perfect getaway. Sheila was lovely and so helpful and kind. Highly recommend this home. We hope to be back on one of our next trips to the area.

We had the best time at Sheila’s home! Super clean, organized and had everything we needed for cooking, relaxing and just hanging around the house. We also loved the fire pit outside for s’mores! Would definitely recommend staying here while exploring New Paltz, Gardiner and Walden. Thanks Sheila!

Beautiful house and amazing location. In the bedrooms, it really feels like you are in a tree house. The house is secluded but it's within 10min of New Paltz, Gardiner, and Minnewaska. Perfect to unplug for a long weekend.

We had no issues at all. Nice area, peaceful and quiet. The bedrooms were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. The communication with the host was also great, she responded right away. We stayed there with three adults and two kids, ages 14 and 12. All good, I recommend this property. Close to New Paltz which is such a cute town.

You cannot find a better location! So close to the most amazing hiking in Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park, and also the quaint town of New Paltz. The house itself is clean, comfortable and very private. Great deck. It has everything you need for a great stay. Would definitely rent it again. The host also was super accessible when I had a question about the AC.

Natural Bliss

We had an incredible stay! We came up for a ladies weekend to get outdoors, explore the area, and do some cooking in and this property was the perfect spot for all of the above. The layout was ideal with a bedroom on every level and the location was sublime, right next to the Mohonk Preserve! Owls, woodpeckers, snakes and birdsong were all lovely additions to our stay. We will certainly be back!

The house was very clean and and just right for me and my sons and their wives. The beds were comfortable and the layout of the bedrooms on three separate levels accommodated us well. The host responded immediately and made access to the house easy. Very private and beautiful setting. Convenient to the neat little town/village of New Palz. We were mostly gone during the day but it would be a pleasant place to go for a getaway to stay around the house and drink coffee and read or watch tv and enjoy nature right outside. :)

Weekend Upstate

My friends and I had a really nice time at Sheila's property for a spring weekend! When you're sitting in the living room, it really feels like you're in a tree house. It was comfortable for 6 of us (2 in each room) to hang out inside when it was rainy outside. Check in and check out was easy. Location was perfect for our needs (hiking in Minnewaska and Mohonk and roller skating at Skate Time in Accord). I recommend bringing coffee filters if you're planning on making coffee! Also, just a quick warning - the driveway is very steep with a little bit of a drop off on one side.
