Blue Horizon: New Paltz retreat in the heart of water street and downtown

Great location. Electronic keypad was broken and host was not able to repair it during our stay - when we went out we had to leave the door unlocked. Portable crib was covered in cobwebs/ dirt and smelled musty (not stored in cover), and there was no crib sheet. Glasses had strange, musty smell and had to be washed before use. Could have used a few extra blankets on a cooler night.

Adorable home, right off the main strip in downtown New Paltz, easy walking distance from restaurants, shops, churches and more. The owner was extremely responsive to all of our questions in a very short period of time, both before and upon arrival. It was an easy 15 minute drive to the Mohawk Mountain house, which is why we were in New Paltz. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice house in a lovely street, walking distance from restaurants, shops and the SUNY campus. The owner was attentive and quickly solved a problem I had with the door lock.

Very cute and comfy

The rental is well stocked with high end and high tech equipment and amenities, and beautifully decorated in shades of blue. The location and driveway / parking is ideal for visiting SUNY New Paltz and surrounding area. The kitchen is stocked for quick cooking; and all basic cooking spices and cleaning supplies are included. Shampoo & conditioner, and hand soaps hair dryer are provided.

This property is very conveniently located near many shops, cafes, etc. (walkable- 5-10 mins) and a 15 minute drive to Mohonk Mountain House. We really enjoyed the proximity to so many great activities, including Water Street Market which is just steps away. We were allowed to check in early, which was much appreciated. Host was responsive. Most of the houses on the street are SUNY student-rented housing. Upstairs neighbors were considerate, but did sit on the shared front porch smoking weed, which blew in thru the open windows. Not a huge deal, but if that’s not the vibe you’re comfortable with, just be aware that the area is basically student rentals. The inside was clean and decor is aesthetically very nice. A handyman could stand to tighten up and adjust a few things. The outside needs some attention. Broken items in backyard, and garage doors open with trash spilling out. Would be easy to fix up. Items to bring: top sheets (only fitted sheets and pillowcases were provided), dustpan and broom, a few additional sets of bath towels, extra kitchen towel, fan, potholders. A good budget option in a good location!

My husband and I were in town for work, and invited my parents along (as they were class of ‘73 back in the day). The location was great for us all to be able to walk around and explore together- in fact, my dad had once lived just a few houses down, which was cool to experience together! The space is well-equipped and comfortable to make meals (which we did for half of our stay). Very clean, with thoughtful and personal details that made it feel more welcoming and comfortable than your average stark and boring hotel room. The only thing we all commented on were the need for a few lights that weren’t the overhead lights. Going with the decor of the property, even just a few small goodwill finds would fit right in! We ended up reading by headlamp in the evening because the overhead lighting in the bedroom was just a bit too harsh. Overall, we had a wonderful visit. The host was amazingly communicative as well, and very helpful with some confusion we had prior to booking (with the platform, not the property). Would absolutely stay again!

So close to cute shops. Patient neighbors related to bringing dogs. Great host communication. Adorable space.

We really enjoyed staying here. Great location. Easy instructions. Host got right back to us with any questions. Lived it

Stay was comfortable for a weekend getaway with kids, and location was perfect.

My friends and I were looking for a rental for a girls weekend, and this was perfect! The location was so close to town that we were able to walk everywhere. The decor inside of the house was adorable, and we loved the outdoor porch. I definitely recommend staying here!

Pros: Cute space, walkable to local attractions, nice outdoor spaces in front and back. Cons: Lighting in all rooms was very harsh. Couch was small and uncomfortable.

Absolutely loved our visit in this beautifully renovated apartment in this quaint older home… so comfy, fresh, private and quiet. The location is fabulous… just minutes walk to restaurants, trails, shops and the university. Highly recommend and would happily return! So grateful that our furry family member was welcome as well. Thank you!

A very positive experience. Enjoyed our stay

Love the cottage and rustic style. Walking to all the shops in town couldnt have been easier. Will definitely be back, thanks

Clean, well furnished, quiet

Blue Horizon was a perfect choice from which to explore New Paltz and the surrounding area. It's located within easy walking distance to the city center amenities. Parking is available in the driveway. The kitchen is well-stocked with equipment if you wish to cook, but with so many delicious food options in town, it may get little use. Communication with the friendly host family was very easy and self check-in a breeze. When I return to New Paltz, I definitely hope to book Blue Horizon again.
