Dark-shingled and forest-framed, this Hudson Valley house earns its seclusion. Evenings revolve around the fire pit under an open sky, or a barbecue on the wooded deck with the trees pressing in close. Inside, the dining room is surrounded by woodland views on three sides – the kind of meal setting that makes a long weekend feel worthwhile. Mohonk Mountain House, a Victorian castle resort above a glacial lake, is about thirty-nine minutes away, and the Catskills and Overlook Mountain Wild Forest are within easy reach for anyone after a proper day out.

Home truths
We recommend hiring a car for ease of getting around. There's free parking for up to six cars on the driveway.
The laundry area is in the basement, which involves a separate set of steps to reach – factor that in if you're planning to do washing during your stay.
Your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones upon request – just bring your own cot linen.
Just so you know, the two upstairs bedrooms don't have doors and feature sloped ceilings.
The location of this home means you may encounter road or traffic noise.
Please note, there are 12 steep steps leading to the second floor of the home.

While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery. The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The lush, ever-changing landscape is an attraction in itself, but the towns of the Hudson Valley offer a healthy dose of culture and history. This area...
