Richard and his wife were incredibly inviting, attentive, and had us set up with everything we needed for our stay. The suite feels serene and remote with the porch and land, but is a very short drive into the town of New Paltz. We intend to come back!

We had a great stay at Gateway Gardens. We were only there for a short visit, so we didn’t get to use the hot tub or pool, but they both looked well maintained. The room was clean and well stocked with anything we would need during our stay. The hosts were very kind and communicative. We would definitely stay again in the future.

What an amazing stay with Rick and Cindy!!! The grounds are gorgeous and beautifully manicured. Cindy and Rick were very helpful in providing us with local tips / directions for the area. The room itself was both rustic and eclectic yet surprisingly worked together so well. The unit was also very clean and well stocked with nutritious goodies as a courtesy from the hosts.The second floor, which we stayed in, has a gazebo and a very large shower. Upon arriving at the address, we thought we were lost because there is a long driveway yet the hosts were quick to reply and welcomed us as we pulled in. The entire stay was wonderful!! Rick and Cindy were perfect hosts! They went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.Be sure to visit Lake Minnewaska, downtown New Paltz, Woodstock, and / or Split Rock swimming hole if you care to venture out.

This is the perfect spot to stay for a visit to the Mohonk Preserve. It was a 5 minute walk to Testimonial Gate and ideal for what we needed. Rick was a fantastic host and greeted us on arrival and wished us well on departure. The room was clean and comfortable and had a private fridge and microwave, which was very useful. The deck was also amazing, surrounded by trees and all you could hear was birdlife.

Lovely house outside New Paltz

Gatehouse Gardens is the perfect place to stay when popping around the Hudson Valley. We were well located to visit several vineyards and minnewaska state park, as well as close enough to New Paltz for dinner in town. The pool is icing on the cake!

What a charming apartment

This property is perfect for couples. It has a private entrance, comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom. There's also an outside gazebo just outside the door. (Too chill to use it during out stay.) The hosts were were onsite, which is a plus. I would definitely stay here again if visiting nearby family.

Perfect mountain getaway

Our 2-night stay was wonderful. The location is the perfect gateway to New Paltz and all that Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve have to offer. The property is lovely. We made use of the pool and grounds; and the screened Gazebo is the best place to enjoy a quiet breakfast or relax after a long day of hiking. Many thoughtful touches from the property owners. I would definitely go back!

We loved staying at gatehouse gardens! Wonderful location, very close to downtown newpaltz with a beautiful Pool and hot tub! Very relaxing! Owner on premises and available for assistance if necessary! (Although there was nothing we needed) also left fruit, eggs, coffee, milk and wine for us! Thought of everything to make us comfortable! This was our second stay there and we will come again! Highly recommend!

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was as described and pictured in the listing. Rick, our host, met us on arrival and show us all the features our rental had to offer. He was friendly and helpful. The property was very clean and well-maintained. There were many nice personal touches. We really enjoyed the screened in Gazebo and the outdoor space. The hot tub was available to us, but we chose not to use it because it was too chilly outside. We would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Escape at Gatehouse Gardens - Minnewaska Room

Our stay at Gatehouse Gardens in the Minnewaska Room was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the spaciousness and comfort of the room. It came with plenty of closet storage, a desk for work, a kitchenette for convenience, and a full bathroom that made us feel right at home.The hosts - Rick and Cindy - went above and beyond by welcoming us with wine and a variety of delicious food options, which made for a delightful touch after our travel. We loved having our own private deck and gazebo—perfect for relaxing under the stars at night and enjoying a peaceful breakfast in the fresh air each morning. The view of the pond added to the serenity of the experience.The surrounding scenery was just breathtaking, with beautiful woods and vibrant flowers that made every step of the property a joy. There was no shortage of entertainment either, from the gorgeous pool and comfy lounge chairs to the grill and hot tub—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration.The hosts were incredibly attentive, sharing fascinating insights about the region and offering helpful recommendations. It was clear that they genuinely cared about ensuring we had an enjoyable stay.We left feeling completely refreshed and would highly recommend this peaceful retreat to anyone looking to disconnect and unwind in a stunning setting. We will be back! Barbara & Michael
