You will find everything required for a relaxing getaway: a hot tub, a swimming pond, a fire pit, a well- equipped kitchen, organic wool bedding with 500 tc cotton sheets, huge windows that bring the outside in, a clawfoot tub, a rain shower, a turntable with an eclectic vinyl collection and a well curated selection of books and board games.

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.

You will find everything require for a relaxing getaway — a cedar hot tub, a self-grinding Miele espresso machine a well- equipped kitchen , an Everdure grill, organic wool bedding with 500 thread count cotton sheets, breathtaking large windows that bring the outside in, a clawfoot tub and a rain shower, a turntable with an eclectic vinyl collection (feel free to connect your phone to the Vandersteen speakers to listen to your personal selection). Browse a carefully curated collection of books and board games.
