Great Escape to Convene with Friends & Family w/ Hot Tub & Many Decks
Connect with friends and family while sipping coffee on the porch and watching for deer, wild turkeys or humming birds. Share some of the fruits of our garden and cook in the fully equipped kitchen or grill on the porch after hiking, touring or just hanging out in hammock. Play air hockey in the attic or games or do a puzzle. Later, warm up by the wood stove, with a glass of wine or a book, get the chill out in the hot tub or roast s'mores in the fire pit in the garden and see more stars than you ever have. There are so many choices. . .
Historic Dutch colonial home located 2 doors from the Stone Church situated on 2+ acres of lawn with native species gardens, a firepit and a hot tub that seats 6. There is separate garage and an unobtrusive tenant over the garage that you will rarely see.
Near wine trails, hiking trails and Sam's Point Preserve. 45 minutes to New Paltz, 10 minutes to Ellenville or Pine Bush for shopping or dining.
Ideal for relaxation, family time and visits with good friends.
Beautiful fall foliage with many hiking choices at your doorstep -- later you can retire . . .by the fire or warm up in the hot tub.

Short stay on the mountain!
We had a local family reunion and 9 of stayed at the house! Plenty of room. Comfy beds, and plenty of charm. Honestly we were only awake at the house for 1 hour Friday, 1 hour Saturday and 45 mins Sunday otherwise we were at the reunion in Otisville. So wish we could have enjoyed the property more.

Relaxing and Comfy
I had a wonderful stay here with 6 other friends. Plenty of comfy spaces for us to all hang out. The outdoor space is amazing. We spent a lot of time relaxing outside, reading books, playing games, eating meals outdoors. The views from the backyard are beautiful.
We walked down to the Stone Church and saw the amazing view. It is also just a short drive to hike the ice caves at Sam's Point Preserve. Highly recommend.
Diane was very responsive and helpful when we had a couple of questions.
We had a wonderful time here.

Quiet, private, and comfortable
I spent a weekend here with four friends looking to relax and unwind. We found the house extremely welcoming and comfortable, and we could have spent all day on the beautiful deck! Very spacious and stocked with everything you might need. We would definitely return.

Wonderful spot on top of the mountain
My friends and I had a great weekend at this property. Spacious, charming, clean, with lots of fun things to do. The back deck and hot tub made for a great hang-out spot. Great views of the extremely scenic area. Owner was responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Beautiful and relaxing house
We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous property. Our group was two families with young children, and the house felt safe, spacious, and fun. The hot tub and back deck are incredible, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the fire pit was great. Diane was prompt and helpful with her communication. They do have pets in the house so our allergies flared a bit but we were mostly outside so it was fine. The location is perfect too. We can’t wait to come back!

A very special property
My friends and I had an amazing time on our trip. The area is gorgeous with some amazing views nearby. The house is so cozy. Furniture you want to sink into, soft comforters on every bed, chairs and blankets at the ready. Our group plays board games and their gaming table is perfect. The backyard is really well maintained with a lovely view of the mountains. The hot tub was perfect. This home is a gem!

Tranquil and comfy
We had such a wonderful time! The house had plenty of space and was very comfortable. The decks, garden and view were amazing! We loved the overlook at the Old Stone Church down the the road and the Sam's Point Overlook hike nearby with its breathtaking views. We made fires in the firepit and enjoyed smores with the kids, snuggled and read by the wood stove, chilled in the hot tub. The whole stay was so tranquil and relaxing. Our host was very responsive and helpful. The only challenge we had was regulating the water in the shower which kept alternating between hot and cold, but that didnt detract from our stay. We really enjoyed our stay! (The house feels like someone's home so for those that prefer a vacation rental not feel lived in, this might not be the place for you and for those who like a place that feels homey, this is the place. We traveled with 3 kids ages 3.5- 9 and had a great time but could see the house being stressful if traveling with toddlers since there are decorative items that are breakable around the house that are within reach of little hands.)
