The location feels secluded yet is close to hiking in Minnewaska and Mohonk, wineries, New Paltz and Gardiner, and other attractions. Many mention a clean, updated interior with natural light and a stocked kitchen, plus extras such as park passes, robes, and slippers. Overall, expect a comfortable nature getaway ideal for couples, small families, and pet owners.

We had a wonderful stay! The interior looks nicer than the photos and there's so much natural light. Everything was thoughtfully set up for our comfort down to the small details. The birds were so pretty and visited the feeders often. We had such a good time Kayaking! They provided kayaks and it was a short walk to the river shore. There was plenty of space for our dog. The hot tub was exquisite.

We totally enjoyed our stay. The guesthouse is tastefully furnished, clean, and super comfy! Wonderful views out every window, we enjoyed watching the birds and even saw a few bald eagles. The house had all of the kitchen amenities you'd have at your own home and was a pleasant place to cook or play games. There were lots of personal touches like cozy robes, blue tooth speakers, comfy blankets for lounging, and even (brand new) slippers. The host was very accommodating and responsive to questions. The hot tub was awesome and the deck and fireplace were perfectly situated for privacy. Close to hiking, restaurants, and a winery right down the road. We will be back!

We had an amazing time ! The place was exactly as described and even better in person! The host takes care of Every single detail to make your stay enjoyable. The big highlights of this property were the river and kayaks, the non-chlorinated hot tub (new, clean and beautifully located) and the incredible hikes located only 10 minutes away. We are so happy we would definitely make it a yearly tradition!

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.

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!

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.

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.

We loved our stay! This was the perfect spot for us to get away. The kitchen was well stocked for us to cook together, sitting on the covered deck during a thunderstorm had great views, the hot tub was lovely and clean, and we got to explore towns near by. We would love to come back!

What a beautiful space. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there but we were so lucky to have everything we needed. We even got to enjoy the hot tub during the rain because it is protected by an overhand. Bill was so kind and responsive. I loved the different coffee and tea options!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

What a beautiful space. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there but we were so lucky to have everything we needed. We even got to enjoy the hot tub during the rain because it is protected by an overhand. Bill was so kind and responsive. I loved the different coffee and tea options!

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.

This was an amazing weekend getaway. The host was so accommodating and easy to communicate with. The house was clean and had everything you needed, and more. We loved the hot tub and fire pit. Convenient location to hiking spots and wineries.

We totally enjoyed our stay. The guesthouse is tastefully furnished, clean, and super comfy! Wonderful views out every window, we enjoyed watching the birds and even saw a few bald eagles. The house had all of the kitchen amenities you'd have at your own home and was a pleasant place to cook or play games. There were lots of personal touches like cozy robes, blue tooth speakers, comfy blankets for lounging, and even (brand new) slippers. The host was very accommodating and responsive to questions. The hot tub was awesome and the deck and fireplace were perfectly situated for privacy. Close to hiking, restaurants, and a winery right down the road. We will be back!

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.

The house was nice and clean. The surrounding area was peaceful and I enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the small animals and birds pass by. We visited Minnevaska park which was nearby and had a nice walk by waterfalls

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!

This is a great place to stay because of its excellent location to hiking, wineries, good restaurants and other fun things to do.

The property is close to Minawaska State Park where we went hiking. We enjoyed the hot tub and had a nice stay. There are a number of nice restaurants nearby too.

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!

The property is extremely well thought out. We arrived at night and there were lights indicating where to go and clear instructions on parking. The unit is very well thought out with a full kitchen, bathroom amenities, and lots of thoughtful touches (e.g., robes and slippers for the hot tub). We had a lovely stay and William made it very easy to communicate. Gardiner, NY is a very cute town. We enjoyed Cafe Mio for breakfast, a bourbon tour at Tuthillhouse Spirits and dinner at the new Wildflower Farms resort. The weekend was a great escape to nature and we and our pup loved walking along the country roads (including to the local winery for a tasting!) Can’t recommend it enough - we will be back for sure!
