Welcome to your architectural Midcentury Modern oasis in the woods. This unique home with cathedral ceilings was built by an architect in 1960 for his personal use and makes for the ideal mountain getaway. A dramatic wall of windows overlooks the woods of the Shawangunk Mountains with striking ice-age sandstone and shale boulders throughout the property. Enjoy your coffee, scenery, and tranquility in the vaulted living room or on the upper balcony off the bedroom, the architect’s own private retreat. Hidden from the road, the house is a cedar and teak construction both inside and out set among four private acres of woods and rock outcroppings. It features:
• Two spacious bedrooms with king size beds, one of which is a loft facing the front wall of windows.
• A third spacious sleeping/media room down on the lower level with pullout couch and futon, both for sleeping.
• Three full bathrooms.
• A modern, open plan kitchen with a dishwasher.
• A large dining alcove surrounded by ship-like windows with views to the surrounding forest.
• An immense stone fireplace perfect for a fire on cold and winter nights.
The crowning jewel is the vaulted living room which is centered around the elongated fireplace and soaring rows of windows which allow light in from the south and west. For younger guests (or the young at heart!), the property features two tree houses built by the architect in the backyard, as well as a swing set for children. Additional amenities include: Nest controlled AC/heating system, Wi-Fi, fire logs (provided in fall/winter), plush cotton towels, custom Kiehl’s toiletries, outdoor grill with seating (for 6), washer/dryer, Smart HD TV with Amazon Prime, HBO, Hulu and other streaming channels, and an entertainer’s kitchen. This Midcentury house is located two and a half miles (4km) from the center of New Paltz, with nearby attractions including:
• Numerous restaurants, bars, cafes, bookstores, a movie theater, and Water Street Market- a pedestrian shopping village with antique stores, eateries, and the local Denizen Theater.
• The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail: a 22-mile (35km) gravel pathway created from a former railroad, extending from Gardiner to Kingston and perfect for strolling, jogging, or biking (rentals nearby).
• The Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park, offering countless miles of hiking trails, rock climbing, lakes for swimming, and Awosting Falls.
• The celebrated Mohonk Mountain House and Resort, with its spectacular lodge, famous spa, fine dining, and breathtaking view of the Gunk Ridge and Mountains, literally just up the road.
• Numerous skiing options, including Hunter and Windham ski resorts in just over an hour's drive, and Sawkill Family Ski Center just 24 miles away (winter).
• The Ulster County pool complex (fee is just $5 for adults), a short drive away (summer).
• The nearby “Walkway over the Hudson” skybridge, offering breathtaking, unobstructed 360-degree views from 212 feet (64m) over the Hudson River and surrounding scenic valley.
This Midcentury house is close to the best the Hudson River Valley has to offer, including: Kingston, with its very popular Stockade and Rondout districts; the towns of Woodstock, Saugerties, and Phoenicia; and across the river, Rhinebeck, Poughkeepsie, Vassar College, and the Culinary Institute of America. For those guests who are commuting from New York City, there is the Trailways bus station in New Paltz which takes you to the city in under two hours, and the express Metro North Hudson line train station in Poughkeepsie, easily reached by car, taxi, or Uber. Please note, we do not rent to anyone under the age of 25 and have a strict 5 adult maximum (6 people total, with one child or 4 adults and two children). This rental is not suitable for very large or party groups (adults should supervise children if staying in the upstairs loft). There are discounts available for 7-day (plus) stays, as well as further discounts for month-long stays.

    Quiet house in the woods, with 2 enormous bedrooms. Downstairs master with plenty of space for two pack-n-plays for our twin toddlers and room to spread out and play. They loved the swing set! Thank you, Sascha, for a wonderful stay!

    We absolutely LOVED the house. It was a mid-century modern dream and we really hope to come back. It is a gorgeous home, looks just like the pictures, with plenty of privacy and surrounding space. A true hidden gem. We loved having coffee on the porch and seeing the trees from the living room, and it's such a short drive to downtown New Paltz. My only recommendation is to remember to bring an eye mask as the windows and skylight keep the rooms pretty bright in the mornings.

    If you want a real cabin in the woods experience, this is the place for you! It is tucked neatly within trees and boulders! 4 of us enjoyed the home and close location to downtown NEW PALTZ and so much beauty! Sasha and his team were very quick to respond to any questions, which were all easily answered. A great place!

    Check in was super easy and accomodating. Front door was always easy in, easy out. Kitchen was well stocked as was the entire house. I miss the living room so much. My family wished we had been able to stay longer. It was a peaceful respite after several days in the city. Great convenient location as well. Thank you for sharing!!

    We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was well-appointed and the location is very convenient to New Paltz. WiFi was good and the beds were comfortable. The host was very responsive. Upon arrival we were given instructions about the dehumidifier in the basement, which we followed, but we didn’t use that floor at all as it felt a little damp (this was not a surprise). The tv was in this space. That said, the cabin could benefit from some updates and a deeper clean. While it was tidy on the surface, a little extra attention to details like dusting the stairs or living room light fixture, coffee maker cleaned, would make the experience more comfortable. It would have been nice to have some outdoor furniture besides the dining set to sit on since the outdoor setting is so nice. The outdoor dining set was also a little buggy being it’s the woods, but it could have been easily cleaned for use upon arrival. Those are small things, but we struggled if this was worth the cost for those reasons.Overall, we had a nice time and it was a pleasant stay.

    Sascha was very accommodating with our last minute, shortened stay. The house is very spacious and clean for our family of 4 adults. The location was key for us as we spent most of our time at Mohonk Mountain House - only about 10 mins away. Town is also super close for shopping and eating. I highly recommend this house and am hoping to stay longer in the future.

    The house is a stunning place to stay. It's very comfortable and the kitchen is stocked with every device and item you could imagine. Sascha, the owner, responds promptly to all messages and has always taken care of any problems immediately. This is our 3rd time renting here. We are a group of runners that come to participate in a 50 mile run at the Mohonk Preserve that is a major fundraiser for them. The house is 5 minutes away and has served as an extremely convenient staging area for our team.

    Lovely modern cabin in the woods with large bedrooms, big windows to let in light, very well-appointed without unnecessary clutter, owner quickly responsive. We were four older adults who did some touring and walking -- this would be lovely for children too, as there is a swing set and a tree house and rocks to climb

    We needed some downtime and wanted to hang with friends. This property was quiet and gave us the space we needed to relax. We are familiar with the area so we were close to all the things we wanted to do. The home is full of natural light with many windows to take in nature. If you like to sleep in, I recommend bringing sleep masks to block some of the morning light. Bed and accommodations were comfortable and ample. Perfect location to many must do activities and great restaurants. Master bedroom on main level close to bathroom. Second king bed is in the loft above the main living space with private bath. Third sleeping space in finished basement with private bath also. Nice deck with table and chairs.

    Loved staying at this cabin and we were sad to leave! The property is unique with all of the boulders and the cabin is well designed to take advantage of the views. It is a peaceful retreat, yet very close to town for supplies/dining. Cabin is clean and well appointed with all you need. (We only used the main floor so cannot comment on the loft or basement.) Saw deer several times during our stay, one with a fawn (adorable)! Host was lightening fast answering any questions we had. Highly recommend!
