About this property

Cozy, Seasonal Geo-Dome with Heat/AC on Private Hiking paradise in Gunks.

Seasonal & Peaceful geo-dome situated along ravine with access to waterfalls and trails.

Come escape to one of our Modern Geo-Domes located up on the Shawangunk Ridge in Gardiner, NY. This cozy, seasonal dome (HEAT + AC) is a part of The Awosting Club, which is a private wilderness reserve. Unplug, relax, unwind.

Nestled in native blueberry bushes, high above a beautiful ravine and surrounded by pine trees. This Geo-Dome overlooks the Palmaghatt Kill Stream from its wide windows and beautiful deck. Equipped with a log queen bed, skylight above, super soft linens, cozy blankets, and a down comforter in the colder months. Included are towels, a mini fridge, bluetooth speaker, lantern, umbrellas, a mini library of books and 1 gallon water jug for drinking. If you are coming as a family, one additional children's mattress on the floor may be added.

Outside of your Geo-Dome you will find an amazing private fire pit and hammock. Firewood bundles are available for purchase for $10 or you may bring your own. In addition, each site has an outhouse, which is thoroughly cleaned after each guest. A bit rustic, but there is no odor!

Geo-Domes are a short 1 - 3 minute walk from parking. Please dress accordingly in winter months. You will be greeted by our Host at the gate for check-in and guided to your site. Guest waivers to be completed at check-in. Our Geo-Domes are dog friendly and require a $75 pet fee. One dog maximum. No cats allowed. You will have cellular service!

There are miles of private trails for hiking with an amazing private waterfall as one of your destinations! We are adjacent to Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve (both a 20 minute drive to park entrance) which offer mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, rock scrambling, views of the Catskills and more! Just 20 minutes outside of the colorful and active town of New Paltz, NY with many options for dinning, shopping, and entertainment.

We are happy to connect you with a local massage therapist or tour guide. Send us a message for more info on how to make your stay more relaxing and fun! Nature is calling!




**History of The Awosting Club**
In the mid 1950's John Atwater Bradley, then a graduate student, attended a conference in Cragsmoor, the site of a celebrated art colony not far from what is now the Awosting Reserve and The Awosting Club. The next morning at dawn, he went out for an exploratory hike and did not return until long after dark. Bradley hiked through evergreen and hardwood forests, along bubbling streams, roaring waterfalls and shimmering mountain lakes. He discovered an incredible wilderness like none he'd ever seen, populated by whitetail deer, black bear, fox, raccoons, bobcat and coyote as well as a natural aviary of hawks, peregrine falcons, owls, eagles and pileated woodpeckers. That day he fell in love with the Shawangunk Ridge.

The Bradley family still lives on the property, and after 50 years of sharing the property with educational organizations, schools, artists, writers, explorers, camps, family and friends, are excited to invite others to fall in love with the Shawangunk Ridge as John Bradley had over 70 years ago. Bradley's daughter, Camilla, and her family are keeping the Awosting traditions alive by sprucing up the camp buildings and platforms while maintaining the trails that have been used for decades for outdoor adventures: from sleeping to eating to playing to communing with nature in all her glory.

Best Trip We Ever Had!
My husband and I cannot stop talking about how our stay in the geodome was the best vacation we ever had. Firstly, our host(s) were some of the kindest and most generous people to communicate with. They graciously let us check in early and check out late to make the most of our stay. Secondly, the property, campsites and geodomes are immaculately kept and stunning in every sense of the word. Lastly, the peace and quiet we were able to experience was unreal. Other than our host, we did not see anyone else during our time on the reserve. The hiking was breathtaking and worth every step to see both an on property waterfall and we easily accessed Gertrude's Nose.

Wonderful peaceful stay
This is a excellent change of pace from the places me and my wife were used to. It was fun to experience nature and my pup enjoyed the experience as well. Everything was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable and the woman that helped us was extremely helpful and quick to answer any and all questions. I would 100 percent book here again.
