About this property

Cheerful 3 Bedroom Cottage by Rail Trail

Enjoy our spacious 3-bedroom home, just outside of town but close to New Paltz’s vibrant Main Street, filled with restaurants and shops. A bike rental is only a 3-minute walk away, and you’re minutes from the rail trail, an apple orchard, and cidery.

Explore local wineries, antique shops, and beautiful hiking trails with a short drive or Uber ride. History buffs will love the Huguenot Historic District and High Falls towpath.

Your perfect New Paltz getaway awaits!

The space
Our house has a quaint Bavarian cottage-vibe with modern eclectic touches. We have views into the forest to the north and one neighbor just to the south as you head to town. The yard offers a small deck and a fire pit in the back where you can enjoy nature and some roasted marshmallows.

Downstairs there is one bedroom to the east with side deck-access where you can use the charcoal grill in the summer as long as NY State is not under a drought watch. Towards the front of the house is a smaller bedroom with a sleeper-couch and a small desk. There is one loft-like master bedroom upstairs with a slanted “under the eaves” roof style and skylights. It has a large desk, tv and enough floor space for a work out, yoga session or child's play area.

The living room offers a comfy sofa, tv and easy chair and opens to a fully stocked kitchen that has everything you need to cook and enjoy your stay.

You can sit on the front porch facing S. Ohioville road to watch the sunset. We are not totally "in the country," but rather on the "outskirts of town," though it's pretty quiet here at night. During the day you can spot rabbits and wild turkey, depending on the season.

Staying at this house was really a delight. The space looks exactly like the listing and staying there felt like I was staying at a friend's house. The location was convenient and the scenery beautiful. Also, I can tell whoever decorated the home did so with intention. I really enjoyed the artwork and carefully selected books found all throughout the home. I will definitely be staying here again.

This cottage was great. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The living room was nicely furnished. It was a handy location for all of our outings. The hosts were quite helpful before and during our stay. If we were in the area again, we'd stay here again.

Lovely home for an upstate retreat! Wished it was a less chilly time of year to enjoy the yard more which looked quite inviting. The upstairs workspace was convenient and the loft itself was a nice cozy space. Would definitely look for again if in the area.

Great little house with good access to New Paltz, wineries and some lovely hiking areas! The inside is clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the cute front porch with comfortable chairs although the road out front is a busy one. The hosts were helpful and communicative.

There are so many positive aspects of this house. It's ADORABLE, it's homey, it has a warm, cozy vibe, it comfortably accommodated my family of 4 adults, the kitchen and bath are well stocked, the hot water never ran out, it's kept very clean, the hosts give ideas for activities in the area, the location is ideal as it's only .25 miles from the thruway, the bonus space in the loft was a favorite for the kids...nothing but positive things to say!

We had a great time staying the weekend for a lacrosse tournament nearby. Place was great..a little noisy on a busy street but overall a clean and comfortable place to stay the weekend. We left a cord and communication was slow to get it back but it seems owners will return in end so since our fault for not double checking and that’s the only complaint I would recommend overall.

Great Location - Simple and Easy!

Its hard to find good set ups for New Paltz. This unit was great! Communication with owners easy and effective. Close to downtown, expressway, and all the wonderful things to do within a 50 mile radius. House is private and spacious. If you have landed on this review do not hesitate, just book it. You will be completely satisfied.

Quick Visit

My daughter and I came to visit my son, who attends SUNY New Paltz. The house was very clean, comfortable and the location was accessible. We had thought it was farther out, but it does sit near the road and a busy intersection. This turned out to be just fine. We used the kitchen for some meals, it was well equipped. There were many ants, but as its spring, they were probably just waking up and hungry! We enjoyed playing a full game of Life! Overall a very nice experience.
