House in Highland: Secluded Retreat

Located in Highland, NY, and nearby New Paltz and Poughkeepsie, this home is a retreat with a hot tub and multiple entertaining areas. The stylishly appointed home includes 3 bedrooms, and two deck areas, along with a gas grill and an outdoor wood-burning fireplace.

- This home is not pet friendly, sorry!
You can rest easy knowing your stay is covered with $1,500 in “All-Risk” Damage Protection. Although rare, accidental damage from guests does happen. Traditionally, this was managed via a security deposit or vacation rental damage insurance purchased by the guest. Both are cumbersome and often have big limitations in protection.

With “all-risk” protection, all accidental damage from a guest is covered unless specifically excluded such as, but not limited to, normal wear and tear, infestation, or prior damage.
We hope you enjoy your vacation with peace of mind knowing that if an accident happens and damages occur, you are protected under Waivo.

We met our objectives. The house is nice and works fine. The neighborhood was very disappointing, even run down and shabby. The area smacks of the dieing past not an expanding future Three restaurants were excellent, Garvans , CIA, and Joseph's Steak House. Walk over the Hudson was fun. Roosevelt places historic, little else! Poughkeepsie needs to blown up and started over

A 5 star house within Highland among the trees.the trees
This property had everything you could need on a stay except for a screwdriver which I needed to fix a case but luckily I had loads of friends near to lend one. The kitchen is packed with spices and coffee makers and utensils, pots and pans. Cooking was a treat. The Bedrooms are a sleepers dream and the bathrooms and showers clean and easy to work.Outside there are areas to still in groups or to sneak away alone. The house is like living in wilderness but only a 5 minute walk to the Hudson River,3 minute drive to the Highland town center and just another 3 minutes to the River Walk Way. A great place to relax and be able to get of around the Hudson Valley

Private, clean, modern, plenty to do
Stayed here for a weekend getaway. Was one of the nicest homes I’ve stayed in. Modern, really well stocked, tons of ways to keep a group of people entertained (hot tub, fire pit, board and lawn games, record player). Pretty easy to find on the map and also in a private area which was nice. I would come back here, thank you.

Good location
The property is a good location for sightseeing historic homes. It was very clean and comfortable. It could have better bedside tables and end tables with lamps for reading. The master bedroom bed is quite high to get into. No mirror in 3rd bedroom or closet. No TVs in any of the bedrooms. Overall property was clean and well stocked.

Amazing home! Will be back.
The home is wonderful, clean, relaxing and the location is perfect for a getaway. We spent our time winery/brewery hopping and barely scratched the surface of places to visit. We will definitely be back! For us, it was just a couple staying at the home but still reasonably priced for a weekend getaway for a home that can easily sleep so many more people!
