About this property

Hudson Valley, the Gunks - Beautiful Cottage

Sky Island is the unique ecosystem of the craggy cliffs of Shawangunk Mountains famous among rock climbers. Nestled between the Rondout Creek and the D&H Canal, the cottage sits in a pastoral glade of trees, birds and deer. Kerhonkson is a Hudson River Valley town of natural beauty. It's a five minute drive to Minnewaska State Park and the Mohonk Preserve. This totally renovated 1840’s cottage is ideal for a couple, but also serves as a peaceful getaway for anyone wishing to spend some quiet time alone. It has a wood burning fireplace, cathedral ceiling with skylights and a private deck. It's an easy entry to the D&H Canal Rail Trail for walking, bicycling, cross-country skiing or bird watching. Regretfully, we cannot accommodate children or pets.

Wonderful getaway!
We loved our long weekend at the cottage. It's cozy and really feels like a home. The patio, yard, and rail trail right out the door give you so much outdoor space as well! Great proximity to hiking, restaurants, breweries, and more. Irene was an excellent host and shared many great recommendations for the area. We hope to come back soon!

Loved our stay!
This was our second time back and we were so happy to stay here again! The cottage is so cozy and clean. Having the rail trail right there to go out for walks is great. And Minnewaska was a short drive away to go hiking. Highly recommend!

Cozy cottage
This was our second time here and it won’t be the last! This cottage is so cozy it’s more comfortable than my home! We enjoyed the fireplace immensely. Irene is a great host providing amenities you don’t expect in a rental. It’s also close to great hiking, biking, easy rail trail walks and the town of new Paltz.

amazing cottage!
Irene was such a wonderful host, my fiance and I were looking to get away for his birthday and we were pleasantly surprised by everything the cottage and surrounding area had to offer. It was cozy, quaint, and we felt right at home. The local breweries and hiking paths in the area enhanced our stay and we look forward to coming back!

Wonderful location and hospitality
This was our fourth time at this cozy cottage by the rail trail in Kerhonkson. As usual, the cottage is clean, fully furnished with all necessary amenities, and ready for winter with nice heating throughout. We had a really peaceful and restful time and we thoroughly recommend the place and the host, Irene.
