Mountain View escape

The location of this home is perfect, between the town of New Paltz and Lake Minnewaska. It is a short bike ride from the Wallkill Valley Trail. The view is amazing. For nature lovers, there were several deer walking the property every day. Firepit was great! Need to purchase your own wood unless you are lucky to have the previous person leave some. Most important, the home was extremely comfortable, clean, updated, stocked with mostly everything you need. Even had coffee, creamer, tea and snacks just to mention a few. Definitely will go back.

We had an extremely great time at this rental house and were blown away how the layout of the house provided all our conveniences. It was clean spacious and beautifully arranged as seen in pics online . It was our mountain escape dream and we would definitely recommend and stay here again .

Everything about the property was perfect! I would highly recommend

Everything was absolutely amazing!

I felt like I was staying in a HGTV giveaway home. The house itself is so amazingly beautiful with mountain views in the back. But ontop of that is all of the thought that went into making it feel like a home. This is by far one of the BEST places I ever stayed in.

Beautiful quaint home. The deck was our favorite place to hang (when we weren’t bicycling on the convenient rail trail). Oh yes, and relaxing in the hammock was another favorite activity (or more precisely “non-activity” ). Nicely equipped with everything we needed.

Cabin and grounds are immaculate. Place is fully stocked. Extremely well designed and perfect location.

This was the perfect place to stay for a cozy weekend. It really felt like a home, nicely decorated and with all the things you need. Very central to places like New Paltz. Quiet area. We would definitely stay here again.

I booked this solo trip to get away from the city to rest and relax. It did not disappoint!! The cabin is amazing- cozy, clean, and fun. Aster, the host, was available any time and responsive to all questions, but I didn’t have many because the cabin is so well organized and stocked with many extras. I spent time in the snowy yard and had visitors in the morning- 4 precious deer!! I will absolutely be planning another trip to this Mountain View Escape- Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at the Mountain View Escape!It was spotless, cozy and Aster was communicative and easy to access. We would highly recommend this place for a much needed getaway!

Very clean and cozy cottage. Well equipped with everything you need. The host was communicative and generous. The place is well situated for all that the area has to offer.

The cottage was perfect and in a great location. We enjoyed everything about it. Love the kitchen and the coziness of everything. We would love to come back and enjoy the view more and fire pit some day! 10/10 - highly recommend.

10/10 stay! Beautiful house and wonderfully accommodating host! Will recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area!

Beautiful place, great and responsive host, highly recommend.

Perfect for a getaway to the New Paltz area. The host thought of EVERYTHING we could have possibly wanted over the few days we were there. The home itself is so perfectly decorated, clean, cozy, and comforting to come back to after a day of hiking in the snow. (Plenty of hot cocoa and tea in supply to warm us up). And the views are beautiful. We sincerely hope to book again when it’s warm out so that we can enjoy the deck and fire pit.

Wonderful amazing beautiful!!!A great place , well stocked and so nice. The interior is very cozy with everything you need to feel home away fromYour home. The outside is equally as stunning with deer every day amazing sky views of planets stars and moon. Beautiful sunsets and gray Mountain View’s.

The home was amazing. So cozy and well kept, we had a great time here! We can’t wait to be back!

Couldn't have been better. It was a wonderful experience.

This home is exactly as advertised. Very clean. Great location for hiking and sightseeing. Has everything you could need. We were very pleased. We will be back.

Really cute cottage with a view of Skytop and the mountains. Quiet location. Fully equipped kitchen. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Adorable, good size cottage on a beautiful property. It had an enjoyable view of the mountains. We enjoyed morning coffee on the outside decks and seating areas every morning and relaxed on the deck at the end of the deck as well. The Hammock was well used. In a perfect spot for relaxation and shade. The bedding was top notch. We have stayed in many hotels around the World and by far the bedding was A, would love to know where the owner purchased. We saw deer in the yard. It was very relaxing. Weren't able to enjoy the fire pit, no real access to starters and wood, or lighter. Also, not sure why, but the refrigerator was over 1/2 full. The items were already open and not something that was appealing to use. We enjoyed the availability of the backgammon set.

The Mountain View escape is absolute perfection! Aster responds quickly to any questions, making the booking and initial convos delightful.The house is easy to find, immaculate, and thoughtfully appointed. All of the small things that make a vacation property feel like home are within: pillows, ottoman, placemats, coasters, tissues, plentiful towels, cooking supplies, stocked pantry, clean grill, luxurious bedding, and wonderful shower supplies. The bathroom and bedroom are generously proportioned, so though the overall house is small, the rooms where you spend the most time feel large and spacious.There are three different outdoor seating areas. Two chairs outside the bedroom provided shade and a perfect spot for breakfast and coffee. The high seating by the umbrella were perfect for lunch and afternoon drinks with a view, and the fire pit area perfect for reading, talking, and relaxation. Did I mention this house also makes you feel like a cartoon princess? We had daily visitors, including several does, a fawn, rabbits, chipmunks, and the usual birds. It's a great place to sit outside and watch nature. Incredibly relaxing!The WiFi was great, there's a bluetooth speaker for music, plentiful entertainment options, including chess, checkers, backgammon, and puzzles. It's maybe a 25-minute drive to Lake Minnewaska and Mohonk Preserve (we may not have taken the most direct route, so check for yourselves!) and close to the Rail Trail for a paved walk.We'll be back!

We had a wonderful time at Mountain View! It was the perfect escape for a birthday unplug with the best pup. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and feel right at home. Can’t wait to come back.

Mountain View Escape was one of the best VRBO vacation homes we've stayed in. The cabin was very well appointed with everything you could need including snacks, plenty of linen, and laundry supplies. The location was perfect for us and the property was beautiful with views of the Gunks. Quiet locations and the owners are local and communication with then was easy.

Absolutely! Here's the revised, excited version of your review with a special shoutout to your two dogs:---Wow—what an unforgettable stay! This VRBO was *hands-down* one of the best places we’ve ever stayed! From the moment we walked in, it felt like everything had been perfectly thought out. The amenities were amazing—there were snacks in the pantry, *Häagen-Dazs ice cream* in the freezer (huge win!), and every little detail felt like it was there just for us.The bedding? Honestly, more comfortable than what we have at home. There were tons of plush towels in every size imaginable, and the deck was both versatile and totally relaxing—we spent hours out there soaking up the peaceful vibe. The decor and design were warm, inviting, and full of charm.And our *two dogs*? They were just as welcome as we were! It was so comforting to know our furry family members could join in on the fun, and the property made it super easy to include them in everything.One of our favorite parts of the trip was the early morning walk with quick access to a beautiful toe path trail. Everything about the location made it easy to relax and explore.Waking up that first morning, we immediately said, “Why didn’t we book more nights?” It was *that* good. The welcome folder was full of helpful tips for local food and adventures around New Paltz, and the host was incredibly responsive—ready to help with anything, big or small.We’re already planning our next visit, and there’s no question—we’ll

The inside and outside of this property is so beautiful. They thought of everything you might need. The quality of everything was also so nice, which made you feel like you were at home. The baby deer in the yard were such an added bonus. The communication was incredible and they are really the sweetest people. We will be back for sure!

Had a blast,very clean,well stocked up, very nice neighborhood & friendly hosts!Our 2nd year there in a row.

The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed. My only regret was being there just for a wedding weekend. Next time, we’ll explore all the hikes and bring our bikes.”

Mountain View Escape is beautifully furnished and impeccably maintained. The bedroom is like a luxury hotel room with a super-sized king bed and luxurious linens. The grounds are spacious and delighted my young dog. I loved the quiet, low key neighborhood, which is conveniently close to Gardiner and New Paltz. I could not recommend the place more highly.

It’s adorable exactly What’s on the photos and equipped with everything you need for your stay definitely will be visiting it again.

House is beautiful, very organized

My significant other and I decided to visit his old college (C.I.A.) and we stumbled on this listing and so glad that we did! Every detail was accounted for! We couldn't have been happier with our choice and would definitely stay at this location again. It was absolutely wonderful!

We loved everything! Every detail was perfect. It’s beautifully decorated and super clean. Can’t wait to come back! The king bed is super comfy and the shower is amazing!

We had a lovely weekend staying at MVE. The host was communicative and thoughtful and the home was beautiful and clean upon arrival. We look forward to coming back soon!

Can’t wait to go back, if I could move this home to Myrtle Beach I would. Fantastic communication with homeowner, great location. Homeowner keeps the home stocked with goodies, extra plus! Very cozy and Quiet it’s a 10 Star

Charming. Peaceful. Beautiful. Well-designed. Well-stocked. I cannot recommend this place enough. It is the ideal getaway for an individual or couple. Hope to have a reason to return soon!

This is our second time visiting this property and hopefully will be back next year. The property is immaculate, gorgeous and cozy. The owners are wonderful people and are so easy to communicate with. There aren’t enough stars for this home😊

Very comfortable, clean, quiet cottage where the host's attention to detail and provision of many small extras make for a very pleasant stay.

This was such a lovely place to stay! Great location and beautiful setting.

This home is equipped with all the little touches that make you feel relaxed away from the hustle and bustle of life! From the linens to the shower and everything in between. I highly recommend this home for a romantic getaway for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

Thanks for a lovely property to stay at.

Beautiful clean modern cabin. In a great area of the Hudson valley. Hikes for the Dog. Wonderful nearby town of New Paltz. And great food and restaurants Aster was always available for advise.

We had an incredible stay at this gorgeous home with cozy fireplace and breathtaking views of the Shawangunk mountains. The home was beautifully furnished and well-equipped, making it feel like a luxurious home away from home. The highlight was relaxing by the fire pit under the stars, creating an unforgettable experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Mountain View Escape! Quiet and cozy!

We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful cottage. Inside, it was comfortable and well-appointed, and the views outside were spectacular. The outside spaces in particular, both the porch and fire pit area, were wonderful, and the location is so convenient. Highly recommend!

Adorable, and tastefully decorated house with the perfect view of the Mohonk Tower. The owners attention to detail was much appreciated. The kitchen was so well stocked! Can’t wait to return. Very close to the bike trail into New Paltz, or south into town of Gardiner.
