In the heart of Kerhonkson, the Juniper House is close to everything the Catskills and the Hudson Valley has to offer.
After a short drive down a picturesque private country road you find the Juniper House nestled at the foot of a sloping wildflower meadow framed by trees and abutting a private forest. A short walk through the forest, past the goat pasture (we have three very friendly funny goats) brings you to our beautiful swimming pond stocked with Rainbow trout. A tranquil luxurious place to recharge and reconnect with nature.
