We like the comfort, openness and easiness of this house. It's hidden enough to feel like a secluded retreat. Yet it provides central access to all that we love in the area. We are just minutes from the Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park. We can bike into High Falls or into the preserve from our house. Plus it's close to all the restaurants, shops and cool happenings in New Paltz, Kingston, Gardiner, Stone Ridge etc.
We come up with the kids to hike, bike, swim, fish, cook and relax and bbq with friends. The area offers so much of natures best that it's often hard to believe it's just two hours from NYC. Our giant tulip trees are home to orioles, finches and woodpeckers, owls and falcons. Our land also offers habitat to deer, woodchucks, frogs, foxes and more. The house sits on several acres. Biking from the cliffs in the preserve back to our house, is a family favorite, there are carriage trails and gravel roads for all but about 1/4 mile. The hike to Bonticou is another must do.
