About this property

HIKE, STARGAZE, NAP BY STREAM, FOREST STATE PARK & POOL IN SHAWANGUNKS MOUNTAINS

Blessedly far from the everyday, LE HIDEAWAY SUBLIME lies nestled in the woody hills of the Shawangunk mountains. A secret oasis, and galore signs of human and nature histories, beckoning discovery. Built on a slight elevation, far from road, traffic and neighbors, LE HIDEAWAY SUBLIME promises instant immersion and a spiritual experience in green, silent nature, a majestic panorama, cozy comfort, and plenty options for indoor and outdoor fun.

Here lies a soothing, yearlong CENTRALLY HEATED, nature’s sanctuary. At the edge of a state park preserve, the property is open, UNFENCED, bordered by giant, lush trees, and a meandering STREAM along 500 ft on the Western side. Pristine leafy evergreen, glistening waterfalls, rocks, boulders, historic stonewalls, spectacular sunsets, open, quiet skies, and dramatic moonlights framed by sky-high treetops. Your sleep is lulled by frogs, birds, cicadas, squirrels, rushing waters, or singing bats.

Magnificent oaks, lilac bushes and pines hide a beautiful, HEATED, RECTANGULAR, ABOVE-GROUND POOL. Enjoy seasonal swims, sunbathing, grilling, and chilling on the spacious pool deck.

You also get EXCLUSIVE RIGHT-OF-WAY to nearby PARK HIKING TRAILS, simply crossing our very own wood footbridge. If you are brave enough, you earn a bath in a pristine glacier LAKE, atop the Minnewaska State Park, after an energetic, 2-hour, scenic hike; or you could find edible mushrooms.

LE HIDEAWAY SUBLIME is built upon an original landmark log-and-rock structure that was revamped. It sleeps FOUR, in a sunny and spacious 1500 square-feet, 2-story cottage, with: 7 rooms (including 2 bedrooms), 2 lounging areas (including living room with large L sofa), a dining area with 1 large glass-top table and chairs that seat 8 to 10, 2 separate study spaces with desk, 2 wood stoves, 4 patio French doors.

A vast, recently remodeled KITCHEN has cathedral ceilings, bow windows, granite countertops, high-end appliances, and a separate entrance onto giant evergreen bamboos, creating an inviting space for eat-in and cooking.

A high-end WASHER/DRYER tower is niched in an alcove on the ground floor.

A BBQ GRILL, chimes, awning, hammock, tables, chairs, benches, and lounging chairs complete the contemplative journey. A sprawling lawn on the South side, tree-lined pathways and rocks on the Northern side, stone steps, lush bamboos, antique urns, a wrap-around rustic porch, a large pool deck, a balcony overlooking water and woods, and a garden cabana/artist studio, punctuate walks around the property.

Cathedral-ceilings, skylights, pinewood paneling, and oversized windows instill a peaceful, Scandinavian flair, complementing the owner’s collection from old-world heritage, distant travels, and visual artistry. Ethnic arts and textiles, vintage furniture, wood panels, exposed beams and bricks, and classic landscaping details, complete the scene for a cozy, romantic, world all its own.

Nice getaway
I had a great time at this house. The yard was private and had a stream going through it which was so nice to hear while eating outside, laying in my hammock and sleeping. I also loved the wind chimes in the yard. The inside of the house was really nice and unique and the kitchen was well appointed. It's close to Minnewaska and New Paltz. I enjoyed the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. I'd definitely stay here again.

Secluded getaway
My husband and I were looking for a secluded spot for a romantic getaway from the kids, and this property did not disappoint. While the home could benefit from some TLC the property itself was 100% private. Due to weather we weren’t able to really enjoy the pool, but we still thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the porch and enjoying nature. In fact, the rain made for wonderful ambiance as it added to the rushing sound of the river in the back yard! There’s also a private trail across the river to add to the experience. Would love to come back with the kids so they can enjoy the trails, ample space to run around, and see the deer who visited frequently.

Amazing find!
This is a gem. The property was gorgeous, and had amazing access to hiking trails through the backyard. The pool was heated to a temperature that my kids were in there for hours. Additionally, despite the seclusion of the property the nearby towns are not far off and adorable with a multitude of things to do-if we had wanted to leave the property (we barely did!) The house itself was sparkling clean and very well cared for. It had much more personality than your typical IKEA-filled rental. The kitchen was well-equipped with all of the essentials and we were able to easily cook all of our meals here, the grill was nice as well. The beds were also very comfortable, something I haven't found in all rental properties. Sylvie was an exquisite host- extremely communicative, accommodating and well-informed on the area. It was an idyllic and relaxing stay, and such an easy trip from NYC.
