Relaxing getaway!

My son and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was perfect for nearby hiking, dining and shopping/walking around New Paltz. The hosts were very accommodating and had great recommendations for everything local. My only complaint is not being able to stay longer, we plan to return!

The property was just as described. It does share the property with the owners house, but has plenty of privacy. The owner has everything needed for an awesome stay. Would stay there again!

Lovely time in the gunks

My wife and I (and our cat and dog!) had a lovely time at this property. It was both secluded while also being just a very short drive to New Paltz and restaurants. The outdoor hot tub and fire pit were lovey. We were greeted with a bottle of local wine when we checked in which was a great touch. Highly recommend - we will definitely be back!

We had an spectacular time at our visit. The hot tub was amazing and had the fire going it was so relaxing. The kitchen was fully stocked with almost everything needed including some base spices. William communication was spot on and perfect. Any questions we had, he answered willingly and thoughtfully and made sure we felt right at home. We would recommend William and his beautiful cabin to anyone looking for a home away from home.

One of my favorite upstate places to stay

My husband, little boy, and I came up for the weekend and we had the best time. William was so easy to contact and helpful. The loft was bright, fresh, cozy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was so much fun for our little boy and so relaxing. We explored the property and had a great time kayaking, watching the birds and wildlife and beautiful sunsets. I’m so glad we came and I can’t wait to get back.

Perfect winter getaway

The red barn retreat far exceeded our expectations. Bill has taken such care over this space, thinking of literally everything a guest might need (including a glorious hot tub overlooking snow covered fields and a stream), and is very kind/responsive. We felt totally secluded from the world but were still close to great restaurants (in Gardiner and New Paltz), museums, and hikes. Highly recommend to couples and small families looking for a getaway on the Hudson.

Cute, quiet and clean

We had a great time. Host was communicative and helpful, the house was clean and we had everything we needed. The only negative was that the pictures in the listing made it seem like this guest house was a little further from the main house than it actually is.

Excellent Stay in Upstate New York!

We had such a great stay over Thanksgiving weekend. The location was perfect and in proximity to various area attractions. The loft was a perfect size for our family and 2 small dogs. It was very clean and well-appointed. We used the hot tub everyday which was wonderful. We hiked Lake Minnewaska, visited Kingston, New Platz and tried multiple restaurants and breweries throughout the area. Being from the region originally, I can certainly say the area has grown into a hidden gem with so much to do. Highly recommend!

Perfect

Our stay at the property was exactly what we needed. We live in NYC and needed a quiet getaway to start planning our wedding and this place provided the peace and quiet we needed. It is EXACTLY like the listing says, both in pictures and description….which is rare. All of the extra amenities(hot tub, grill, etc.) worked wonderfully and we can’t wait to go back and unwind at this fantastic property again!

Great little place, friendly host, wonderful location & awesome amenities (hot tub, park passes, fire pit, deck). Also love that it's pet-friendly and our pup is welcome to join us here. Only note: The mattresses could use some updating. There's significant sagging in the bedroom mattress and the one on the pull-out couch is in pretty bad shape, both caused us some back pain. Also, if you like to sleep in and/or are a light sleeper, the garage directly beneath the bedroom is fairly loud when being opened/closed, which happened a few times early in the mornings during our stay, and unfortunately interrupted our sleep.

Perfect Country Getaway!

My Husband and I had a lovely time here. It was even more special because we were able to bring our beloved dog who so enjoyed his morning walks visiting the cows across the street and playing in the yard. The property is absolutely beautiful, the Barn is immaculate, everything is new and clean. We just adored the decor, so cozy! The little touches were so appreciated as well, like stocked tea bags and K-cups, clean blankets, towels, park passes and tons of recommendations to near by activities. We wish we could have stayed longer. Would love to come back again soon!

perfect birthday getaway

We had a great time staying in Gardiner, NY. The Red Barn Retreat was perfect! There are so many things to do near this location. We visited Hyde Park, had lunch at the Culinary Institute, hiked the Monhonk Preserve, explored Historic Huguenot Street, checked out New Paltz for the first time and did the Walkway Over the Hudson on the way home. I loved relaxing under the stars in the hot tub and just gazing out at the view. My spouse just asked me last night, "When are we going back?" Bill is a great host. Highly recommend!

Perfect

This property was perfect for a relaxing getaway. The photos are accurate; if anything, they do not do justice to the beauty of the property. The location feels secluded and serene, but hiking, shopping, and restaurants are very nearby. Paths around the property provide access to the river, and feel like sometging out of a storybook. My dog loved exploring with me, and following the trails. The "barn" itself is beautifully decorated, and the linens and towels are luxurious and high-quality. The kitchen is well-stocked with condiments and spices, so cooking and grilling was easy and enjoyable. The firepit and hottub were absolutely perfect for hanging out under the stars. Bill, the host, was super responsive and magically appeared with anything we needed only minutes after sending a message through the app. This was, by far, the best VRBO experience I've ever had, and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.
