☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
This cozy home has two private bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers a queen-sized bed topped by a hybrid mattress, premium bed sheets, blankets, and Bedgear pillows. Two nightstands with reading lamps are perfect for bedtime reading and the closet offers plenty of storage space. Watch your favorite shows on the 32" Roku television, complete with complimentary access to streaming accounts, including Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount, Peacock, and Prime Video. A lighted vanity provides a spot to sit comfortably and apply your makeup.

The second bedroom can sleep up to three people, with a double bed that has a pull-out trundle underneath- perfect for a small family. Guests in this room can enjoy a 32” Samsung TV with Firestick streaming. In case you need to get some work done during your stay in this relaxing atmosphere, we’ve provided a lovely desk and chair. This room gets a lot of natural light and small details like nature-inspired artwork, high-end linens, and plush accent pillows make this a comfortable retreat for kids or adults.

☆☆ BATHROOM ☆☆
The home’s full bathroom has a tub and shower combination so you can choose between a refreshing rinse or a leisurely soak. The mirrored vanity offers plenty of storage space for your toiletries. The bathroom is stocked with fresh towels (bath, hand, pool, and hot tub) and a supply of hand soap and toilet paper. There are two comfy robes available for you to use.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LOUNGE ☆☆
The large kitchen makes it easy to cook and eat as a family. The full-size refrigerator can easily store all of your drinks and groceries, and the classic cabinets are stocked with all the dishes, mugs, tableware, and kitchen gadgets you need to feel at home.

This modern kitchen fills with sunlight in the afternoons and is complete with expansive countertops, a gas range with four burners, an oven, a microwave, and a toaster. Start your mornings at the coffee bar (stocked with whole-bean Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts coffee) and enjoy a cup of coffee out on the patio while admiring the breathtaking views of nature.

Right off of the kitchen is the spacious living room, an open-concept space with modern farmhouse decor, leafy houseplants, locally-inspired artwork, and a 55" Roku television above the gas fireplace. The whole family can find their favorite spot on the comfy couch or break out the board games for a family game night. Feel like getting in a workout from the comfort of home? Hop on the Peloton bicycle, log into your account, and start spinning (please bring your own shoes).

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
The outside space is what really sets Happy Minnewaska apart from other homes in the neighborhood. The backyard has been completely transformed into an outdoor entertainment space, complete with an above-ground pool, a covered gazebo and bar area, a BBQ, and yard games. After dark, gather around the fire pit by taking a seat on an Adirondack chair and admiring the starry night sky while you roast some marshmallows. Sit as a family on the large deck and enjoy music and food, or watch the kids run and play in the big, private yard. Twinkling rope lights add a warm glow to the backyard so you can use this space well into the evening.

When you’re ready to explore the area, you’ll find countless activities at your fingertips. Mountain bikers and rock climbers will love this location. The home gives you easy access to Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve. Spend days hiking trails, including Stony kill falls, Awosting Falls, or Gertrude Nose. Be sure to stop by some of the local organic farms to enjoy berries, apples, and more. Other nearby attractions include great breweries and antique shops, making this a great destination in any season.

A Romantic Getaway
We rented this place for a 4-day mid-week getaway to celebrate our anniversary. This was a perfect location that was near quaint little towns with farm to table restaurants, and a state park for hiking. We also loved that we were able to soak in the hot tub on a cool night afterwards, and warm up by the fireplace with a cup of tea. We really enjoyed our stay and have already recommended this place to our friends. Thank you!

Lovely relaxing stay!
Kyle and Jasmine’s property was the perfect little get away; everything we needed was provided, the hot tub was a hit, and the couch was soooo comfy (very important). Had the weather cooperated we also would have loved to use the fire pit and deck area! The house was right down the street from Rough Cut brewing co which had great food and drinks too. My sisters and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience!

Cute house
Small cottage but has everything you need. Beautiful yard. Wish weather was better to enjoy it more. Road noise a little loud but not a deal breaker. Would recommend staying here.
