We enjoyed our stay at this quaint cottage. Everything was sparkling clean and the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry rooms were well stocked with necessary supplies. The view of the horse farm across the road is absolutely beautiful every time. We had a relaxing escape and used the location to do day trips to Walkway over the Hudson, Cloverbrook Farm and West Point. The interior has been updated to suite the farmhouse style of the home. The exterior could use a little sprucing up. Overall an excellent country stay and we would definitely recommend this property and the hosts.

We had a wonderful time and the house was lovely. The house is situated in a very peaceful area surrounded by woods, a pond, and pastures and it is very quiet. There are three very comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a tub and the other with a shower. There is a living room on the front of the house, and in the rear is the kitchen, dining area, and laundry room.The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking for a group. We have stayed in many vacation rentals, and the kitchen was one of the best equipped we have seen. There is a grill outside along with an outside dining area on the patio in the rear.The house was very clean and comfortable. The view of The Gunks is beautiful and it is a short drive up to the Mohonk Preserve park. Communication with the hosts was excellent and they were helpful with answering questions and providing local recommendations.This was one of the most enjoyable places we have ever rented, and we will be back.

Very nice house. The property is stunning. The house was well outfitted and we had everything we needed. Went for a hike in Minnewaska preserve and that was gorgeous. Lombardi’s Restaurant was also great and only 1 mile from the house. Would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely get away home

This home is very well set up for couples or groups with children. The master bedroom is private with its own bathroom and the other two bedrooms are very nice as well. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked. The grounds are beautiful. The house is convenient for all the activities you would wish to do in this area or you can just sit in the yard and enjoy the beautiful view.

Spectacular Views

Truly enjoyed our week long visit to this lovely home. Everything was provided including a welcome bottle of wine. The view from the house is truly stunning with the rising cliffs of the “Gunks” nearby. Plenty of places to hike yet close to the restaurants and shops of New Palz. The hosts are very receptive if you should need help. I highly recommend a visit

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend in this charming Gardiner house. The inside of the house is prettier than the pictures. It was very clean and neat.

Family weekend with our West Point cadet

We had a wonderful weekend with our son who is a West Point cadet. House is an hour from West Point. We relaxed, enjoyed local restaurants, a distillery is 2 miles from the house, and the fairgrounds had a craft show which was 5 miles away. The mountain and horse farm are amazing views! House was clean, beds comfortable, and hosts are very nice and easy to contact if needed.

The scenery and comfort of the Gardiner residence was exceptional. All the amenities you could need were supplied. We had 6 family members stay in Gardiner for the wedding of one of our sons. He and our daughter-in-law were married just a few minutes away @ Liberty View Farm. We could not have asked for better accommodations. David & Cheryl were quick to respond to an inquiry, graciously allowing the groomsmen to meet together before the ceremony. We considering a longer visit for the wedding couples 1st anniversary. Thank you David & Cheryl for the wedding congrats!

Thoughtfully Cared for Home Surrounded by Natural Beauty

We stayed here with grandparents and tweens, and it was a wonderful place to relax, enjoy nature and spend time together. The property is absolutely beautiful! We sat on the front lawn chairs enjoying the view of the horses and fields across the way. We even spotted a blue heron while sitting near the pond in the yard, and listening to the sound of the running creek was lovely. The owners were very responsive, and the home was clean and had everything we needed. The Keurig coffee-maker, dishes, pillows, towels, games and books were more than what we needed. We hope to stay again!
