About this property
Entire place
Secluded Country Getaway
Our listing is on private property, the nearest house is down the driveway. It's a quiet, tranquil area, secluded with tall trees and a pond in the middle of nature. Guests can tour the quaint towns nearby as well as enjoy the busier towns for a night out.
Quiet, secluded, and cozy property in Highland, on the edge of a mountain in the woods, a short driving distance from the Hudson River and close to New Paltz, Gardiner, Poughkeepsie, Hyde Park and Wappingers Falls. Located in Ulster county, also close to Dutchess and upper Orange County.
The space has a queen-sized bed in 1 room and 1 full-sized bed with twin bed trundle underneath in the other room. Couch and love seat in the living room. There are beds enough for 5 people, but we can accommodate up to 6 with a queen-sized blow up aero-bed mattress or single cot. See under rates and availability for pricing (our pricing is automatically totaled by total number of guests, not beds used).
**Please be aware of your guest selection. Only guests that are added and paid for on the reservation can stay. As shown in availability & pricing our listing states: Guests are charged more for additional people added to a reservation. Each guest, as stated, after 2 guests are charged per person, per night. Please read the listing thoroughly, as inquiries have come in about the price for 2 people for one night is quite different than the price for 6.

We usually respond to requests within a few hours or a day by text, email or app message. Email, text or call if any immediate questions or problems don't hesitate, please.
**We will send you a confirmation email when the date you arrive is close, giving you a few details about things in the area and some side notes and guidelines about the property. Please check your inbox and junk mail, and make sure your email address is correct on the website because we send it to that email. If you do not get this email please let us know so there will not be a problem being able to check in. We know if you haven’t read it because you haven’t called us. We like to welcome guests with a few things about our listing before they arrive and would appreciate it if they read the few things we have to explain.
**Pets do not live on our property but when we do stay there, our dog comes with us. For those that have allergies it is a short haired dog (Italian greyhound), that has hardly any hair left because he is older. We always vacuum after every stay, so you should not see a lot of signs that our dog stays here when we are here.
**Please note: in winter weather (snow or ice) it may be difficult to get up our driveway, so please keep that in mind in the event that you book when it snows. The driveway will be plowed, but cars without 4 wheel drive or a lower gear may have trouble. Please try to get to the property earlier if snow is on its way.
**Watch out for poison ivy, after all, it is the woods.
**We have filtered well water which comes from the Hudson River, it is perfectly fine to drink and the best tasting water compared to most states. Better than bottled!
**There are usually some continental breakfast items on a shelf labeled for guests, as well as some items in the refrigerator. Coffee is on the left side of the refrigerator and sometimes eggs, English muffins, bread, bagels, butter, cream cheese, OJ and coffee creamer. We have a changing variety.
**Developed 3 acre lot (with road, buried electric and phone wire) for sale on the other side of the pond. Ask for details.
**There's new things happening on our property all the time. The property grounds have updated pictures but we don’t post the new construction being built. We always have improvements and changes and the inside cottage rental is the same as the pictures. We appreciate your understanding of our need to work with our contractors in between your stays.
