Home bordering the Mohonk Preserve, Secluded, dog friendly, 3-bedroom

Welcome to this secluded home in New Paltz. This excellent property features 3 bedrooms with 2 queen beds and 1 full bed, perfect for a tranquil getaway in nature while being only 10 minutes from New Paltz village center. The 2 full bathrooms are equipped with all the essentials you need for a peaceful stay.

This property is surrounded by the Mohonk Preserve, 10 minutes from New Paltz Village, 10 minutes from Minnewaska State Park, and five minutes from the Mohonk visitor center. You can access the Mohonk preserve right from the backyard! You will find the preserve provides tons of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking rock climbing, cross country skiing, and more- check their website for details: Mohonkpreserve.org

Each window of the house has a full view of trees, making you feel like you are in a treehouse!

Relax on the back deck each morning while having a cup of tea or coffee and listening to the birds. There is an outdoor dining area where you can enjoy your meals. At night, gather around the propane fireplace on the deck with the café lights on or off to enjoy the stars! You will find it the perfect spot for stargazing.

When you pull in, you will see a dedicated fire pit in the yard to use your leisure, please clean up after yourself. Gather around the fire while discussing the day’s activities of hiking, climbing, mountain biking, and exploring.

Unfortunately, this house is not fit for toddlers. We have two toddlers so we are very aware of how dangerous the staircase is. If you refer to the pictures, you will see there is a large drop off from the first floor into the basement with no railing.

If you are bringing your dog, please keep an eye on them. The property does not have a fence. We ask that you clean up after your dog- I think we can all agree that nobody wants to step in poop while exploring the property! We will provide dog bags- please place them in the garbage can in the white shed. Be aware- there is a lot of wildlife around house! Such as bears, fox, raccoons, fisher cats, coyotes, porcupines, snakes, mice, bugs-including ticks, and anything else you can think of!

This house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood bordering the Mohonk Preserve. There is a long driveway that leads you into the property. There are no visible neighbors from the house as there is full coverage of the property 3 seasons out of the year. Come check it out!

We had the best time at Sheila’s home! Super clean, organized and had everything we needed for cooking, relaxing and just hanging around the house. We also loved the fire pit outside for s’mores! Would definitely recommend staying here while exploring New Paltz, Gardiner and Walden. Thanks Sheila!

We had no issues at all. Nice area, peaceful and quiet. The bedrooms were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. The communication with the host was also great, she responded right away. We stayed there with three adults and two kids, ages 14 and 12. All good, I recommend this property. Close to New Paltz which is such a cute town.

The house was very clean and and just right for me and my sons and their wives. The beds were comfortable and the layout of the bedrooms on three separate levels accommodated us well. The host responded immediately and made access to the house easy. Very private and beautiful setting. Convenient to the neat little town/village of New Palz. We were mostly gone during the day but it would be a pleasant place to go for a getaway to stay around the house and drink coffee and read or watch tv and enjoy nature right outside. :)

Beautiful house and amazing location. In the bedrooms, it really feels like you are in a tree house. The house is secluded but it's within 10min of New Paltz, Gardiner, and Minnewaska. Perfect to unplug for a long weekend.

You cannot find a better location! So close to the most amazing hiking in Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park, and also the quaint town of New Paltz. The house itself is clean, comfortable and very private. Great deck. It has everything you need for a great stay. Would definitely rent it again. The host also was super accessible when I had a question about the AC.

My family and dog enjoyed our stay, the house was clean had a nice outdoor deck and a great firepit for evenings. Some of us were climbing in the Gunks and some of us were just hanging in town and this house was the perfect location for both. The host was easy to work with, we will definitely be back.

Natural Bliss

We had an incredible stay! We came up for a ladies weekend to get outdoors, explore the area, and do some cooking in and this property was the perfect spot for all of the above. The layout was ideal with a bedroom on every level and the location was sublime, right next to the Mohonk Preserve! Owls, woodpeckers, snakes and birdsong were all lovely additions to our stay. We will certainly be back!

Weekend Upstate

My friends and I had a really nice time at Sheila's property for a spring weekend! When you're sitting in the living room, it really feels like you're in a tree house. It was comfortable for 6 of us (2 in each room) to hang out inside when it was rainy outside. Check in and check out was easy. Location was perfect for our needs (hiking in Minnewaska and Mohonk and roller skating at Skate Time in Accord). I recommend bringing coffee filters if you're planning on making coffee! Also, just a quick warning - the driveway is very steep with a little bit of a drop off on one side.
