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.

Location, location, location! Beautiful and quiet area. The host was communicative and kept us well educated throughout our stay. She is very generous with supplies. My 4 star rating on cleanliness is only for the many items already in the home. We did not have closet space to hang items in the already small closets because they were full. It would not been an issue but we had a lot of clothes since we were in a wedding party. The home was clean but a bit cluttered for my taste but this home is divided between being rented and lived in, so i get it. The home is very charming and hardwood floors throughout. If you want quiet and on top of a mountain, with wonderful places to walk and enjoy peace, this is for you! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Diane for everything!

If you want to see the stars at night like you can reach out and touch them, if you want a place that is so quiet you can hear the birds breathing, if you want walk a hundred feet to the edge of the mountain, sit beside a 130 year old church and drink your coffee while looking at the beautiful foliage, if you want to see the deer and the foxes or an occasional bear (harmless) then this is the place for you. Make a fire at night in the pit or inside in the wood stove... grab your beverage of preference and relax... you may not even see a car drive by all day.

basically a 1 minute walk to the Old Church -

The house is beautiful and full of character that takes years of living and care to create. The deck in the back was breathtaking. The location--a short walk to The Stone Church, a short drive to hiking, to a state park with ice caves, to Ellenville--was excellent. Everything from utensils to games to staple items and towels was extremely well marked and well stocked. We loved our time at this home. This house was a wonderful temporary home for our family reunion. The matriach of our family grew up at her family's hotel just outside of Ellenville: until this visit, she had not spent significant time in the area since the 1960's. Being back was special for her, and for all of us. Thank you.

Our vacation stay at this property was not as expected to say the least. Overly packed kitchen - kitchen was too full of opened (seemingly in use) food for us to be able to store anything in the cabinets. Instead we had to pile our goods on the limited counter space. Internet - We were unable to connect to the internet upon arriving even given the instructions that were provided. We reached out to the property owner for assistance but found her to be unresponsive for several hours. Eventually she responded and the connection information was different than what was given to us. Heating - the thermostats are nest operating systems. The two nest thermostats had programmed schedules for the heat to stay at 50 degrees. There were no instructions left in the property manual on how to operate this system and/ or override the schedule in place. So we had no heat for the first day and night with temps in the 30s at night. Family friendly home - this house is listed as “family friendly” and “children welcome”. Well as a mother of a 1 year old there were far too many trinkets and stuff hoarded in the main living areas of the house that were not conducive to having small children in the house. Hot water - throughout the stay we did not get any hot water (even with only one shower or faucet running at a time). Eventually we were able to get warm enough water to take quick showers in. Trash - our stay was ending on a Monday AM so the property owner instructed us to have trash out for pick up between 9a-12p Monday AM. However, she left no instructions that the trash cans were located in the garage that only the tenant living there had access to. Customer service from VRBO and Property owner - a misunderstanding during the booking came to light approx a week before we checked into the property. The property owner waited until the evening we checked into the property to bring this issue up to me and charge me an additional fee (giving us no chance to reconsider our stay). The property owner HARASSED me via text message to my personal number, VRBO messages, and customer service calls until all hours of the night (1230 AM) despite the fact that VRBO advised me not to pay the additional charge. The owner threatened to come to the property and kick us out a full day prior to what we paid for with no refund. Because this customer service was so miserable by VRBO and the owner we will NEVER recommend this company or property. Use another rental company!

Amazing and Relaxing Stay

You can find everything you will need for a weekend at this place. We were a group of 10 people and this house fit all of us comfortably. There are several beds in the house so most of us had our own bed and the 2 couples shared their beds with their significant other. The house has a fully stocked kitchen in terms of spices, dishes, cooking equipment, basic cooking ingredients, which was really helpful because we had brought own groceries to cook with and were able to prepare our meals fairly easily since all the tools were available. There is a grill in the back that worked well for the steaks my group had made and a dish washer to make cleaning easier. Dining was easy for all 10 of us, more than 10 would have been a little crowded at the table. The living rooms was SO comfortable with a woodstove in place of the firepit, we spent most of our time here, Diane does a great job of decorating the room to make it feel cozy. There were also a plethora of games and puzzles to choose from but we had brought some of our own as well as a TV with HDMI+USB C adaptor for your laptops. Spacious living spaces with lots of towels and extra bedding if needed. The back patio was beautiful the view is amazing since the trees were not covered with leaves and it's very relaxing with places to sit. Also the hot tub was so relaxing, it does take some time to heat up if it's cold outside but when we got there it was at a good temperature and fit about half of us at a time. There's a fit pit and sitting area a few steps down the back patio that was nice because we were able to sit and enjoy the night sky in the fire. We were not planning on going around the area too much so we didn't explore a lot of it but there is a small town Ellenville about 15 minutes away for groceries and hiking 5-7 minutes the other way from the house (driving), there didn't seem like a whole lot to do around there but we didn't really want to leave once we got to the house.
