About this property
for the creative spirit, swimming dock on pond, horses to pet, Fire pit
For the creative spirit or one that appreciates artistic expression. A healing space.
An artist dream loft is filled with light and shapes, color and patterns, -overlooking a beautiful pond with a waterfall. The loft is a large open space with high ceilings, wood floors. A perfect space to explore, dance, yoga or just enjoy the open flow of light reflected from the pond below on my fabric sculptures. It is a very uplifting space and filled with good energy. Facing east there is a large window wall for the morning sunrise and in the west, for the sunset, 3 sets of French doors and 2 windows. The 3 French doors open to a wraparound deck with lounge chair and teak dinning table, chairs and gas grill, overlooking a beautiful pond with a waterfall. There are benches and swings on the land to sit, and a fire pit to enjoy fires at night, seating close to the pond and a bridge over s small stream. The pond is swimmable and we just installed a new floating dock to swim to. We only use solar energy. There are 2 tables to create, draw, sculpt or write. The house has Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating. You will find yoga mats and pillows for meditation and many blankets in one of the closets. There is no TV, only nature channel. The kitchen has a regular size refrigerator and stove. There are 2 queen size beds, one directly in the open space with headboard and one accessible with a ladder as a loft bed above the bathroom. It’s a tight space. There is a futon sofa that can be used for sleeping, one person and i keep an inflatable bed in the closed. You have to be skilled on ladders to feel comfortable. The bathroom has a large shower. Most of the cleaning supplies are environmentally friendly, the soaps organic and I left you some treats here and there. There is coffee maker, toaster, espresso maker, mixer, all you could need for dishes or cookware, the cookware is stainless steel, I tried to think of everything to make your stay meaningful and comfortable and if I forgot something please let me know! The mattresses and linens are super comfortable. We have solar panels. The artist dream loft is part of 3 buildings on 30 acres of land with 2 ponds, you can hike through the forest to a totally secluded second pond with a dock for swimming access. This pond has an island. The land is beautiful. I am a beekeeper and so there will be honeybees and part of my family 2 horses, Jest and jewel and a husky, called Zula There is a small orchard in front of the lofthouse with fruit trees. You can park at the end of the building to the right. You are just between New Paltz and Kingston, a very central location not far from Woodstock or Rhinebeck. Hiking, swimming, playing and resting, or just being, creating a new project, or healing from a crazy life, it's a good space for all of it.
I make my own remedies from plants in my garden, I have put some of them in the loft for you, my hope is that you take advantage of the healing potential that the space has to offer. I live in one of the 3 buildings the first one, painted orange, the second building is a green barn that a friend of me lives in, the third one is the dream loft. The loft is about 1300 square feet in size. We do our best to use friendly cleaning supplies and soaps that are good for skin and environment.

Another magical stay here, surrounded by art, woods, beautiful sunsets, walking paths, birds and other wildlife, and friendly horses who take treats. Gisela is a wonderful and responsive host.
The worst part of the this fabulous place is having to leave. Our dog Scarlett loves running through the forrest and saying hello to the beautiful horses.
An absolute gem. This is a very unique space but one that is easily adaptable to any and all needs, creatively and spiritually. Clean and uncluttered but offering many ways of enjoying the space. Gisela is a celebrated interior designer, and I did not fully appreciate that until I was here. This is not design that overwhelms but impresses by speaking softly. She was very helpful and communicative. Very easy going, and the overall location is breathtaking, replete with trails, lovely ponds, deer, horses, and more. And moments from all the conveniences of civilization. I can not say one thing that was a bother. Seriously, we're lucky to have a space like this available.
We enjoyed our stay at the Loft, which is beautifully decorated and in a very relaxing environment. We loved meeting the horses and letting our dogs swim in the lake. Gisela was very accommodating and responsive!
This place is incredible - Gisela is a gracious and hardworking host - the property itself is seemingly endless, plenty of space to recover, reconnect, and relax.
Would vastly recommend this VRBO in every single way I could
We had a wonderful stay at the loft house. It was cozy inside and the grounds were wonderful. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck overlooking the pond. Our dog enjoyed frolicking in the woods. The host was very friendly and responsive.
We fully enjoyed our stay at Gisela’s house! The pictures accurately reflected the property and perhaps the space was even nicer than conveyed in photos - light, bright decorated uniquely with creative thoughtfulness. The view from the deck is lovely! We would definitely go back!
Gisella was a wonderful and attentive host. The property was in wonderful condition, a beautiful room designed with an artist’s sensibility. We no loved being there!
The house was so beautiful both inside and outside. It has a definite artist's touch and was very clean and well kept. It was surrounded by beautiful woods and was very close to New Paltz, Woodstock, and other great towns. The bed was comfy, temperature was well maintained, the kitchen was immaculate, it was all around amazing! We definitely will be back!
Unique and tranquil artist’s loft with a lovely pond on the property! Gisela has 2 beautiful horses which were a pleasure to see. Loft was clean, comfortable and had all essentials. Kids enjoyed the views of the pond and paddling around too. Location was nice with nearby restaurants and attractions, including Vanderbilt Mansion.
This really is a gem. We had a magical stay in this beautiful space, which felt like a retreat. The setting is truly spectacular. The accommodation is so beautiful, cosy and comfortable. It is impossible to describe how much thought, care and love has gone into making it an unforgettable stay. Gisela is an incredibly gracious hostess and she went out of her way to make sure that we had the best time. We cannot recommend this highly enough and can’t wait to come back!!
Gisela thought of every detail when creating this space. The loft was clean, well stocked, the shower was the best shower I’ve ever experienced, bed was really comfortable, deck was beautiful with a beautiful view, fire pit was cozy and the location was perfect- easy to get to Kingston,Rheinbeck, Woodstock etc..
We really enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to come back.
I needed a quick little getaway for some quiet and reflective time. I am SOO glad I came across The Loft! My dog Derby and I had the best time relaxing in this beautiful space! The Loft itself had so much natural light; I didn’t need to turn on any lights until the sun had set. The cozy deck was the perfect place for me to read, write, and paint during my stay. I loved the sound of the waterfalls and all the birds. When I walked Derby each morning on the grounds, we were greeted by Gisela’s two gentle horses. Such a nice way to start the day! The Loft had everything I needed for the perfect little getaway; I cooked dinner each night and there were plenty of pots/pans/utensils/dishes/bowls to choose from. In addition, the shower pressure and temperature were divine; the perfect way to end each night. Gisela was the perfect hostess; always responding in a timely manner to my questions. Derby and I will definitely be returning in the future!
This accommodation is the epitome of healing, soothing, quiet. It is located in a natural residential setting with the added bonus of friendly horses on the property. So sweet. The place was spotless and filled with beautiful artwork--inspirational and healing. We made meals in a beautiful kitchen-- nothing missing here. Hooked our iPhones up to a high end speaker system and listened to our music. We had two restful nights in a very comfortable bed listening to the spring peepers. We couldn't have been happier here and will be returning in future.
The place lived up to the photos plus more. Gisela's fabric sculptures added an airiness to the already open space. Everything we needed to enjoy a restful stay was provided, including 3 choices of coffee makers (and a wide variety of teas), ample seating on the deck with a nice view, and a hammock. The surroundings were a nice surprise, with 2 friendly Arabian horses, a trail where our dog could run free leading to a second pond, impressive solar panels, and an enclosed riding arena with a ping-pong table.
The downsides were a not-so-comfortable couch and a small dishwasher. But, we would definitely enjoy staying at this unique property again.
My husband and I rented Gisela’s special artists loft almost seven years ago when we first started dating. We first rented it in the middle of winter and holed ourselves up in this haven. Years later as a birthday surprise to my husband, I took him back but this time we were able to enjoy the amazing deck and comfortable deck furniture. We cooked (kitchen is very well provisioned), read, napped, fed the horses grass, enjoyed the fire pit, painted (we brought our own paint), did yoga, meditated and bird watched. The energy of this amazing space is definitely a by product of the love that Gisela has poured into it.
If you need your cup to be filled, don’t hesitate to book this amazing spot.

Interesting space
Cabin is like a large dance studio with furniture. Nice kitchen and bath and rural surroundings, especially good if you bring a pup. Very clean. Wouldn’t chance scaling the ladder to sleep in the cramped loft with mattress on the floor. Those who prize a good night’s sleep and who don’t appreciate a very hard “memory foam” mattress with very little memory, placed on a low platform with no headboard, beware. Owner provided a memory foam topper for my second night but it didn’t help much. Yoga mats.

Dear guest
I am truest sorry you did not like the mattress
Yes it’s a signature memory foam mattress that I love and have in my bed too!
It takes my shape and night.
The mattress is still new and I don’t know why with the soft topper foam it did not make you comfortable
I wish it had!
Since it’s in my knowledge one of the best sleeping arrangements
the head board on the bed is a great idea thank you! i just put one since its nice to lay in bed or sit and read or just look out the window take care
The perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Calming vibes and gorgeous scenery. I enjoyed my time. I stayed in late November and the studio was cozy and warm. Many little things for comfort and a good kitchen. Gisela was responsive and helpful.
i am an artist and healer, you can see my art on the photos sculptures out of fabric and clay, painting and anything else. i have been studying and teaching many healing modalities.
Why they chose this property
This property is very unique, i put my heart into it, it is my kind of a world. The space is very creative and healing, the land around the house is beautiful and i have worked a lot with sacred geometry and crystals to restore balance and natural beauty, you will feel it. the animals are very kind and come up to the house, there is an atmosphere of love and care.
What makes this property unique
i love that the light from the pond reflects on the ceiling of the space, the sun setting sitting outside on the deck drinking tea, dancing on the large wood floor and feeling i am here. it is special for me to share this place with you. there is a secret passage through the forest and if you go the right way you end up at another pond with an island totally somewhere else, still and quiet you can walk onto a deck and jump in.
