Secluded New Paltz Retreat with Private Deck and Fire Pit

The Residence

Three stories of craftsman architecture sit back from a dead-end road, framed by mature woods and stacked stone walls. The first floor opens around a great room with 20-foot beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace, built for groups who want room to spread out without losing the center of the house. The kitchen sits open to the dining area, and a second living room holds its own fireplace for slower nights apart from the main gathering.

A sunroom wrapped in windows on three sides catches the woods from every angle and opens through French doors onto the back deck — elevated above the yard, surrounded by forest, made for mornings that start with coffee and end somewhere else entirely.

Upstairs, three bedrooms hold a king and two doubles. A walkout lower-level suite adds its own living space, full bathroom, and direct access outside — a floor of its own for guests who want separation, or for a group that needs one. Eight guests across four beds and three and a half baths. Fast Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, and self check-in via smartlock keep the property running without friction.

The Location & Lifestyle

New Paltz sits minutes out, and from there the Hudson Valley opens in every direction.

• Trail Access: Mohonk Preserve's carriage roads and hiking trails are close enough for a morning loop before the day starts, with Minnewaska State Park and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail extending the range for hikers and cyclists.
• Regional Connectivity: Local wineries, cideries, and farmers markets round out a weekend that never has to leave the area, and the NYS Thruway sits a couple of miles out — close enough that the drive from the city disappears, far enough that the property keeps its distance from all of it.

The Grounds

A gas fire pit and Adirondack chairs anchor the front of the property, set against landscaped gardens and the tree line beyond. Stacked stone walls trace old property boundaries through the woods, and a creek runs along the back edge of the land — a constant undercurrent to everything else here. The elevated back deck looks out over the yard and into the canopy, holding a stillness no amenity package can manufacture.

Managed by Alluvion Vacations, this property carries the same world-class standard of hospitality, cleanliness, and guest communication across every stay.
