Mohonk Mountain Living - New Kitchen!

Red Gate Cottage is excited to announce it's a brand new country kitchen! Plus, the house feels even more rustic with new hardwood floors in the kitchen, as well.

Red Gate cottage is situated on an acre near the famed Mohonk Mountain House. You'll feel far from the madding crowd in your charming hideaway, yet welcome the short drive to town (New Paltz (2.2 mi.), High Falls (8.0) or Rosendale (7.0) for a quick run to Rock and Snow for gear or a bite of great comfort food at the Brauhaus. The cottage is a perfect place to embrace your love for mountain life, including cooking up comfort food, taking a vigorous hike, or just slowing down.

The cottage's convenient location makes it a perfect home base for taking in all the Hudson Valley has to offer. The area's most important sites are all within a short distance: bike the Rail Trail, swim and picnic on the lake at Minnewaska State Park or hire a guide and rock climb the Gunks. Mohonk and New Paltz are big with cyclists, kayakers, and hikers. Venture a little further and enjoy the quaint villages of Stone Ridge and Woodstock or check out the wonderful antiques and restaurants in Kingston and Hudson.

Red Gate Cottage is tastefully decorated in a contemporary, rustic style. This cottage-style house has two bedrooms, one full bath, an open and inviting kitchen/living room and dining space made especially cozy with its centrally located wood stove and vaulted ceilings. The private den doubles as a third bedroom and opens to the deck if you want to bring the outdoors in.

For gardener souls, our mountainside location encourages the gardening spirit. Flower, vegetable and herb gardens are a constant project so if you join us during the warmer months, there is always something in bloom.

THE PRESERVE IS YOUR BACKYARD
Our property is steps away from the historic Mohonk Preserve and a five-minute drive to some of the best trailheads. Complimentary passes for two to the Preserve are included in the house rental and provide you access to their magnificent trails. Trail guides are available in the house. For an extra special experience, you can purchase a day pass to the Mohonk Mountain House, which provides you access to its stunning grounds, trails, and lake.
