About this property
Entire place
Dream Cottage in the Gunks
The house has 2 bedrooms railroad style. It is perfect for a couple with two kids as we have bunk beds that usually too tight for adults but perfect for kids. It has all the amenities including full kitchen with dishes, washer and dryer, gas fireplace (operational Oct-May), BBQ grill on the porch, fast (200+mbs) wireless internet, and brilliant stargazing close to spectacular Minnewaska State Park.
Sleeping accommodations:
Queen bed in master bedroom
Twin-sized bunk beds in another bedroom.
You will have full access to the house, parking for two cars right in front of the porch.
You will have the house for yourself, but we will be around the area, and available to text or email or emergency calls. Cell coverage is spotty in our area, but we have a wi-fi network with a good connection.
The Cottage is situated on top of the Shawangunk Ridge, (The Gunks) next to Minnewaska State Park and is surrounded by pine forest, the granite rocks, and breathtaking views
It is only 1 mile away from the spectacular Stony Kill Falls
Within short 4 miles, there is an entrance to the Minnewaska state park, with its well-maintained biking trails, crystal clear swimmable lakes, hiking trails, rock climbing and breathtaking views of the Hudson valley from over 2,000 feet high.
In the short vicinity, there are also 4 wineries, plenty of restaurants including famous Brauhaus (German food)
Art centers, organic farms, ski, skydiving, horseback riding, rock climbing, paragliding, and many many more.
The friendly hosts are local enthusiasts and are happy to share their knowledge of the best spots and variety of local activities with the guests of the house.
The car is the best way to get here, but there is also a bus from New York City to New Paltz - you can catch a cab from New Paltz to the house.
Kids:
Your child safety is fully on you as the Cottage is not equipped with childproof devices.
Cleaning:
We clean responsibly using Lysol antibacterial products!
Things to do around:
There is PLENTY! Biking, hiking, swimming, rock-climbing, skydiving, paragliding, wine tasting, restaurants, art centers, organic farms, harvest (apples, blueberries, peach, raspberry etc.) picking, caving, stargazing and many more. Please check our guestbook for more information
Water quality note:
We live in the Gunks and water is well known to be hard in our region. It is full of minerals including sulfur, so it is normal to feel some smell at times. I do have water treatment systems installed. The first stage is a large particle water filter which I usually change every 2-3 weeks. The second stage is a Clack water with a filter medium that handles hard water. The second stage was serviced in fall 2019 by professional water treatment service.
Garbage:
Our houses are neighboring beautiful Minnewaska State Park. It is great as guests can enjoy nature and tranquility but it also has its "cons". Our neighborhood does NOT allow for outside garbage containers because garbage attracts wild animals from the State park. Thus, we do not have outside garbage containers or trash service. Our caretakers take out garbage left by the guests after each of the reservation. If you accumulate the garbage during your stay and would like to get rid of it before your check out, you would need to find a public dumpster and take it there or you can let me know and I will ask my caretakers to dispose your garbage for you. If you want us to help you to dispose your garbage before the end of your reservation please let me know in advance in order for me to arrange the service.
Pests:
We do have monthly subscription to Terminix service and we treat for bugs and rodents periodically. Said that it is important to realize that we live in the nature and it is possible that some bugs or rodents get inside the Cottage once in awhile. We can promise that we do everything from our side to eliminate this issue but we cannot promise that there is absolutely no possibility to encounter any bugs or rodents. Nature is the nature. If you experiencing any issues please let us know and we will do our best to solve the issue for you.
