"Beautiful volumes, perfectly furnished, all very pretty and practical: If I had a piece of land, I could see myself wanting to build a cabin just like this--or rather, ask David to build it!" (excerpt of a guest's review) Federal Holidays require require a 3-night stay. The space Escape from New York to this ultra-modern--yet cozy--two-bedroom eco cottage in the heart of the Hudson Valley in the Village of Rosendale, NY. A car isn't even necessary. From NYC the express bus is 2 stops--1hr. 45 min. from Port Authority. The bus stop is a short walk or arrange a pick-up in advance. I'm a green builder and furniture designer and I created this state-of-the-art cottage for guests. It's outfitted with unique materials, custom-designed furniture and lighting. The spectacular location is an outdoor enthusiast's dream with all indoor comforts--coupled with a short walk to civilization. On the property there are rock cliffs and amazing nature to admire. It's a 5-minute walk to the Mohonk Preserve--a place that The Nature Conservancy calls "one of the last great places on earth." This cottage was hand-made to the highest "green" standards and my hope is to inspire you to live comfortably while conserving energy. Accommodations include two bedrooms with plush, queen-sized beds. The modern kitchen includes an induction cooktop and Advantium oven. The spa-like bathroom has a deep-soak tub. Access to the cottage is with a key-code lock and there's wireless internet, Apple TV, and good cell reception. It's a 100-yard walk to the just-renovated, 1000' long, 150' high "Walkway over the Rondout." This historic former train trestle is part of the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail (WVRT) which accesses over 85 continuous miles of hiking, trail running, cycling, and cross-country skiing. Below this trestle is the nearest swimming hole. Enjoy a lovely and scenic riverside stroll to bars, restaurants, and historic movie theater on Main Street--a 5-minute walk from your door. Come experience what it's like to have no indoor air pollution. The cottage was hand-made and finished with virtually zero VOC's (volatile organic compounds). An allergy sufferer's dream: there's no smoke, down feathers, or pet dander of any kind. Fresh, filtered air is exchanged constantly via a heat recovery ventilator (HRV). Rosendale is centrally located to visit international art venues in Storm King and Beacon, The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and other Hudson Valley farm-to-table meccas, and we're sandwiched between historic Kingston and New Paltz. Local occupancy tax is included. Other things to note Checking in: Lets coordinate arrival times at least 24 hrs in advance. Check-in is typically after 3pm.
