Carriage Style House w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Garden

Highlights: Gorgeous fenced family home with salt water hot tub, chefs kitchen and AC. Very private, yet minutes to Kingston.

Welcome to The Ridgetop Retreat! If you are looking for a chic country family home for cozy relaxation, this is it!

Located in the woods of upper Stone Ridge towards the Esopus Creek, this is the perfect house to rest and rejuvenate. The house itself is delightful, with a great chef's kitchen, generous living areas and three good size bedrooms.

Outside you have two decks and two gardens. The front facing deck overlooks a lawn area and forest views. The back garden is magical with gorgeous plantings, fairy lights, total privacy, and is completely enclosed with fencing. The big bonus is the fantastic salt water hot tub which is said to be kinder and easier on your skin for longer soaks.

For dinner, 15 minutes in either direction will put you in a great restaurant. Or take advantage of the homes’ spacious and well stocked kitchen, where a group can cook and socialize together.

Like all Upstate Place properties, this home has a pack n’ play, highchair, baby bath etc. available to make even the smallest guest’s stay welcoming and easy.

The Ridgetop Retreat would ideally suit a family or couples vacationing together.

• Please make sure you take out the trash, this helps with smells and preventing creatures from wanting to come in to the house.
• If used dishes, we ask you place them in the dishwasher and hit start.
• Please extinguish all fires and fuels, inside and out, and cover the BBQ once cooled.

• Upon departure, please make sure all lights are turned off and all exterior doors are locked

This house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. While it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Ridgetop Retreat!
Please respect all house rules listed in the guidebook provided, as well as the privacy of this quiet community.
