My husband and my sister and her husband stayed her for four nights mid sep 2027. Everything was perfect for us. Beautiful location to minnewaska state preserve. So much hiking for all levels surrounded us. We also rode our e-bikes on rail trail over Hudson River. Found great restaurants for cocktails and appetizers. To name a few: mountain brauhaus in new Paltz, Lola’s in new paltz, rough cut brewing. Just a beautiful location, enjoyed sauna , fire pit, exercise basement, pool table, table tennis. Kitchen well appointed. Host and manager highly attentive and informative with any of my questions. Highlight for my brother-in law was the turn table and huge selection of albums. He played DJ during our visit!!!!
