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 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!

Wonderful host and property

This was an absolutely amazing stay. My husband and I hand an amazing time with our two dogs celebrating our anniversary. We plan on returning again because we hand such a lovely time. We were greeted by our host who was so kind and helpful. All the recommendations were amazing and really helped us plan out our short time there. I wish we were able to stay longer but again we will be returning in the future!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

All the reviews are right!

Such a relaxing way to end the school year for two teachers (I apologize the Math teacher is writing this instead of ELA). Every review I read before booking is completely accurate. Kitchen was great to cook meals in, the grill as well. Enjoyed listening to the birds and wind in the trees from the bedroom window in a comfy chair. Mattress was so comfortable. A short drive to New Paltz and the beautiful Mohonk mountains.

Wish I could give it more than 5 stars

This adorable retreat is exactly as described. We couldn’t have been happier with every aspect of this place: immaculate, impeccably appointed, and thoughtful amenities that maximizes both comfort and convenience for the guest. Bill really thought of everything, and was so attentive to our needs while respecting our privacy. The hot tub, grill/dining deck, and fire pit are all perfection. One note: upstate NY gets LOTS of ticks in Spring/Summer, so if you bring pets like we did, expect to do a through fur-check before bringing them inside.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this property. Perfect for a little weekend away. Dog friendly, very clean and recently updated. Host was very accommodating and gave us great recommendations on hiking, restaurants, activities to do in the area. He had some guest passes we used to check out some beautiful parks & trails for free. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Plus it is dog friendly :)
