Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
“Place was amazing and great location for hiking!!! The backyard was so cute with a jacuzzi. Peaceful place will definitely go back!”- Alyssa
“Great place to stay if you love hiking! The place was nice, well-equipped, all functioning & clean! The hosts were very sweet, generous, and attentive. The hot tub was very relaxing after a long hike!”-SeoKyeong
“Place was amazing. Perfect spot for a quick getaway from New York City for a couple. Close to restaurants and the park. The house itself was amazing with everything needed and the jacuzzi at night was perfect after a day of hiking.” -Alberto
☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
This cozy home has two private bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers a queen-sized bed topped by a hybrid mattress, premium bed sheets, blankets, and Bedgear pillows. Two nightstands with reading lamps are perfect for bedtime reading and the closet offers plenty of storage space. Watch your favorite shows on the 32" Roku television, complete with complimentary access to streaming accounts, including Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount, Peacock, and Prime Video. A lighted vanity provides a spot to sit comfortably and apply your makeup.
The second bedroom can sleep up to three people, with a double bed that has a pull-out trundle underneath- perfect for a small family. Guests in this room can enjoy a 32” Samsung TV with Firestick streaming. In case you need to get some work done during your stay in this relaxing atmosphere, we’ve provided a lovely desk and chair. This room gets a lot of natural light and small details like nature-inspired artwork, high-end linens, and plush accent pillows make this a comfortable retreat for kids or adults.
☆☆ BATHROOM ☆☆
The home’s full bathroom has a tub and shower combination so you can choose between a refreshing rinse or a leisurely soak. The mirrored vanity offers plenty of storage space for your toiletries. The bathroom is stocked with fresh towels (bath, hand, pool, and hot tub) and a supply of hand soap and toilet paper. There are two comfy robes available for you to use.
☆☆ KITCHEN & LOUNGE ☆☆
The large kitchen makes it easy to cook and eat as a family. The full-size refrigerator can easily store all of your drinks and groceries, and the classic cabinets are stocked with all the dishes, mugs, tableware, and kitchen gadgets you need to feel at home.
This modern kitchen fills with sunlight in the afternoons and is complete with expansive countertops, a gas range with four burners, an oven, a microwave, and a toaster. Start your mornings at the coffee bar and enjoy a cup of coffee out on the patio while admiring the breathtaking views of nature.
Right off of the kitchen is the spacious living room, an open-concept space with modern farmhouse decor, leafy houseplants, locally-inspired artwork, and a 55" Roku television above the gas fireplace. The whole family can find their favorite spot on the comfy couch or break out the board games for a family game night. Feel like getting in a workout from the comfort of home?
☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
The outside space is what really sets Happy Minnewaska apart from other homes in the neighborhood. The backyard has been completely transformed into an outdoor entertainment space, complete with a covered gazebo and bar area, a BBQ, and yard games. After dark, gather around the fire pit by taking a seat on an Adirondack chair and admiring the starry night sky while you roast some marshmallows. Sit as a family on the large deck and enjoy music and food, or watch the kids run and play in the big, private yard. Twinkling rope lights add a warm glow to the backyard so you can use this space well into the evening.
When you’re ready to explore the area, you’ll find countless activities at your fingertips. Mountain bikers and rock climbers will love this location. The home gives you easy access to Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve. Spend days hiking trails, including Stony kill falls, Awosting Falls, or Gertrude Nose. Be sure to stop by some of the local organic farms to enjoy berries, apples, and more. Other nearby attractions include great breweries and antique shops, making this a great destination in any season.
