About this property
Dog friendly private 3-bedroom house bordering Mohonk Preserve
Welcome to this secluded home in New Paltz. This excellent property features 3 bedrooms with 2 queen beds and 1 full bed, perfect for a tranquil getaway in nature while being only 10 minutes from New Paltz village center. The 2 full bathrooms are equipped with all the essentials you need for a peaceful stay.
This property is surrounded by Mohonk preserve. You will feel like you are deep in the woods while only being 10 minutes from New Paltz Village, 10 minutes from Minnewaska State Park, and five minutes from Mohonk visitor center. You can access the Mohonk preserve right from the backyard! You will find the preserve provides tons of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking rock climbing, cross country skiing and more- check their website for details: Mohonkpreserve.org
Each window of the house has a full view of trees, making you feel like you are in a treehouse!
Relax on the back deck each morning while having a cup of tea or coffee and listening to the birds. There is an outdoor dining area where you can enjoy your meals. At night, gather around the propane fireplace on the deck with the café lights on or off to enjoy the stars! You will find it the perfect spot for stargazing.
When you pull in, you will see a dedicated fire pit in the yard to use your leisure, please clean up after yourself. Gather around the fire while discussing the day’s activities of hiking, climbing, mountain biking, and exploring.
Unfortunately, this house is not fit for toddlers. We have two toddlers so we are very aware of how dangerous the staircase is. If you refer to the pictures, you will see there is a large drop off from the first floor into the basement with no railing.
If you are bringing your dog, please keep an eye on them. There is no fence bordering the property. We ask that you clean up after your dog- I think we can all agree that nobody wants to step in poop while exploring the property! We will provide dog bags- please place them in the garbage can in the white shed. Be aware- there is a lot of wildlife around house! Such as bears, fox, raccoons, fisher cats, coyotes, porcupines, snakes, mice, bugs-including ticks, and anything else you can think of!
