Relax and unwind in our bright and private 2BR apartment located at the edge of Unison Arts Center’s sculpture garden (paths through woods and fields). A mile from New Paltz on the way to Mohonk Preserve, this simple but comfortable space features work by local artists and regional photographs. One of the bedrooms has an additional half-bathroom with a hand-made mosaic. Guests have their own entrance. The two upstairs bedrooms have quality beds, one has a queen and the other a king-size bed. The living room has a couch that folds out into a full bed that is best suited to kids. Additional twin floor mattress and a crib can be provided upon request. All bedding and towels are provided. The apartment has its own entrance off the back deck of the house, and its own part of the deck with a table and chairs, looking into the woods, an ideal spot to have your breakfast or dinner. There is a small but well-appointed open kitchen in the apartment for you, with a stove, refrigerator, and oven, as well as essentials like coffee, tea, oil/vinegar, pots/pans and cutlery. Our entire house has filtered water with a top quality carbon filter. We don't provide breakfast, but there is a large farm stand nearby that has a wide variety of produce and groceries; as well as a big supermarket 7 minutes away. There’s a 50” Fire TV enabled with Netflix and Amazon Prime for cosy evenings. From early June into September, the pool is available for use during daytime hours. It is shared with house residents, but guests can request a 1-hour slot per day to have it alone. It is an above-ground 18 foot round (3.5 ft deep) pool. The bathroom includes towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. This is an older house, and parts of it have been renovated while other parts are original, so some of it is more "rustic," but we love it. It is truly comfortable and homey, and a great place to relax and enjoy the best of this region. The apartment is attached to a house where we reside, and the deck is a shared space, though you have a section with your own table and chairs. The spaces have considerable privacy, but you may occasionally be able to hear our TV as there is a shared wall between the living rooms. The bedrooms do not share any walls with the main house so there is total privacy for the sleeping areas. Just across the lawn is the entrance to Unison Arts Center’s sculpture walk, with both permanent and rotating exhibits of over 50 sculptures. You will be just a short drive from many towns and sights of the Hudson Valley: Minnewaska and Mohonk hiking, climbing, and swimming; Rosendale and New Paltz shopping, movies and cafes; Historic houses of Hugenot Street and Hyde Park; walkway over the Hudson, River to Ridge trail, orchards, farms, and even shopping malls. The apartment's private entrance is on the back deck of the house. Once you park, you’ll walk toward the front door of the house, and then to the right along a stone path that leads around to the back deck. We will give you instructions to let yourself in. We are available to answer any questions, concerns and provide local info etc. through text or phone calls. Guests are also provided with a loaner copy of “A Rock with a View” book that describes local hiking, rock scrambling, and biking trails in the Shawangunk mountains with lots of useful details. Mountain Rest Road is rural and hilly, and you will pass cornfields and woods just driving one mile from town to the apartment. The only buildings that can be seen from the property are part of Unison Arts Center (residences and Theatre). Mountain Rest Road does have cars driving by, which can be heard from the house, but it is generally a quiet road as it heads up Mohonk and trucks cannot pass. There are taxis from the Trailways station in New Paltz, and also busses from the Metro North station in Poughkeepsie. We are 30 minutes from Newburgh airport, and one can rent a car there, and 2+ hours from NYC area airports. Just 10 minutes from Thruway Exit 18, 1.5 hours from New York City by car or bus, you will be 1 mile from New Paltz (3 minutes by car, 25 minute walk) and 2 miles from the Mohonk Preserve, close to everything the Husdon Valley has to offer.
