Weekend Escape at Gatehouse Gardens - Minnewaska Room

Our stay at Gatehouse Gardens in the Minnewaska Room was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the spaciousness and comfort of the room. It came with plenty of closet storage, a desk for work, a kitchenette for convenience, and a full bathroom that made us feel right at home.The hosts - Rick and Cindy - went above and beyond by welcoming us with wine and a variety of delicious food options, which made for a delightful touch after our travel. We loved having our own private deck and gazebo—perfect for relaxing under the stars at night and enjoying a peaceful breakfast in the fresh air each morning. The view of the pond added to the serenity of the experience.The surrounding scenery was just breathtaking, with beautiful woods and vibrant flowers that made every step of the property a joy. There was no shortage of entertainment either, from the gorgeous pool and comfy lounge chairs to the grill and hot tub—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration.The hosts were incredibly attentive, sharing fascinating insights about the region and offering helpful recommendations. It was clear that they genuinely cared about ensuring we had an enjoyable stay.We left feeling completely refreshed and would highly recommend this peaceful retreat to anyone looking to disconnect and unwind in a stunning setting. We will be back! Barbara & Michael

What a charming apartment

This property is perfect for couples. It has a private entrance, comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom. There's also an outside gazebo just outside the door. (Too chill to use it during out stay.) The hosts were were onsite, which is a plus. I would definitely stay here again if visiting nearby family.

Lovely house outside New Paltz

Gatehouse Gardens is the perfect place to stay when popping around the Hudson Valley. We were well located to visit several vineyards and minnewaska state park, as well as close enough to New Paltz for dinner in town. The pool is icing on the cake!

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was as described and pictured in the listing. Rick, our host, met us on arrival and show us all the features our rental had to offer. He was friendly and helpful. The property was very clean and well-maintained. There were many nice personal touches. We really enjoyed the screened in Gazebo and the outdoor space. The hot tub was available to us, but we chose not to use it because it was too chilly outside. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect mountain getaway

Our 2-night stay was wonderful. The location is the perfect gateway to New Paltz and all that Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve have to offer. The property is lovely. We made use of the pool and grounds; and the screened Gazebo is the best place to enjoy a quiet breakfast or relax after a long day of hiking. Many thoughtful touches from the property owners. I would definitely go back!

Stayed here for two nights for a wedding at Mohunk. Rick was kind enough to wait up for me to arrive at midnight! Grounds are gorgeous and the room was clean and nice. It’s a flight up with your own entrance and attached to their house.

Perfect location and beautiful property

We were in town to visit Historic Huguenot Street. The location of Rick and Cindy's property was perfect. We walked into town the first evening. The distance was perfectly walkable, and there is a trail that covers more than half the distance. The road was busier than we anticipated, and the section walking along it doesn't have much shoulder, so we got taxis to and from for the rest of our stay. It's a 5 minute/$7 ride ride, and the wait for a cab was never more than about 15 minutes. The property itself is spectacular - green and lush. The room was clean and spacious, and our hosts went to the trouble to stock the fridge with some food in case we were scrambling in the morning. There was a huge thunderstorm, and we sat out in the screened in gazebo to watch the rain and enjoy a glass of wine. We had a terrific stay, and we will definitely look to stay at Gatehouse Gardens again the next time we are in town. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts!

Great Stop Over

I was passing through and a New Paltz alumni so it was a great stop over for me. Safe, clean, private and a great opportunity to visit with some old friends. Great hospitality. Would definitely return for a vacation stop in the future. Rick was a gracious host and very easy to work with. Thanks for sharing your home with me.

Fraud

The owner completely listed the property as private and it was not private, he lived on the premises had full view access to you whenever he wanted and we had to share the property with 5 other people, I already have a claim in and have reported this for a full refund

We had a wonderful stay with breakfast on the deck and after dinner drinks in the screened in gazebo. The pool and hot tub made for a relaxing and refreshing time while on site (badminton was a gas as well). Rick gave helpful hints for things to do and this secluded spot is conveniently located just minutes from town.

Felt like home

We were in NY visiting our son and wanted a place where we could come and go easily from his place to our place. Rick and Cindy's home was perfect. Not only was the room comfortable, quiet, and safe, but we were able to entertain our son too in the gazebo, large deck and yard with pond just outside our room. The extra touches--refrigerator stocked with breakfast, fruit, and wine, and the warm welcome from our hosts made us feel immediately at home and at ease. Every detail was considered in preparing our guest space! Thanks so much!
