1 Bedroom Cottage in Kerhonkson

Escape to this peaceful, nature-inspired cottage, nestled on the scenic Shawangunk Ridge near New Paltz. Perfect for both relaxation and adventure, this charming retreat offers a unique blend of modern comfort and rustic charm, complete with a private infrared sauna, handcrafted stone fireplace, and ample space to gather, recharge, and reconnect with nature.
Inside the Cottage:
The heart of the cottage is a warm and inviting living room, where you can relax by the glow of a gas fireplace set in beautiful, locally-sourced stone. A centerpiece of the space is a large handmade dining table, lovingly crafted by the host from 100-year-old reclaimed wood. Its rustic elegance invites guests to share meals, play games, or enjoy deep conversations in a cozy atmosphere.
The infrared sauna, accessible directly from the master bedroom, offers a tranquil spa-like experience. It's your own private retreat within the cottage, perfect for unwinding after a day of outdoor exploration.
Throughout the space, you’ll find hidden messages—small details that add a playful, thoughtful touch to your stay. It's like a fun riddle waiting to be discovered! You’ll also find the "meaningful library," a curated collection of books chosen to inspire reflection and growth. We invite you to explore these hidden gems, which may resonate with your personal journey.
As part of your experience, you'll discover postcards inspired by the host’s stories as a skydiving tandem instructor. These postcards, filled with tales shared with first-time jumpers, offer both inspiration and a glimpse into the adventurous world of skydiving—stories that may spark your own sense of discovery and reflection during your stay.
The fully renovated kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, including high-quality cookware, utensils, and premium coffee and tea. The master bedroom features a plush queen bed with luxurious linens, and the pull-out couch in the living room provides additional sleeping space for up to four guests.
Outdoor Spaces:
The front porch offers a peaceful spot to sip your morning coffee or relax in the fresh air, surrounded by the natural beauty of the forest. Nearby, a hidden creek enhances the tranquil atmosphere, making the cottage an ideal setting to reflect and recharge.
Thoughtful Comforts for Your Stay:
We take pride in providing premium amenities to make your stay as comfortable as possible:
High-speed Wi-Fi to stay connected
Premium bedding and natural toiletries
A "meaningful library" with inspiring books for quiet reflection
Hidden messages and small surprises throughout the space
Skydiving postcards to inspire adventure and introspection
Board games for fun nights indoors
As your host, I take great care in creating spaces designed to help you recharge and feel inspired. Every detail has been thoughtfully chosen, from the curated books to premium comforts, to ensure you feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout your stay.
Whether you're here to hike, unwind, or share meaningful moments with loved ones, this cottage invites you to relax, reflect, and recharge. With every thoughtful detail, we hope your stay offers you the inspiration and peace you’re seeking—a place to create lasting memories, grounded in nature and connection.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Shawangunk Ridge. The cottage is ready whenever you are.

Summary: After staying 2 nights at the Zen cottage in Gardiner (same host), I decided to stay an extra night, but only this location was available, so I booked. I walked in to a very tidy beautiful space, albeit a lot less work went into restoring this space compared to the prior, furniture definitely not as cozy. The blanket covering the boarded up door (in the sauna room) had a very large nail sticking out, luckily I saw it before bumping into. I did notice some foul smells around the fire place, I noted the landlord and he said he'd check it out after I leave. He did and called me telling me that he didn't smell anything. He was kind in replying fast, but I wanted him to know this property was not worth the same amount I paid for the Zen House in Gardiner. I wouldn't book again, but I really appreciated the prompt replies when I had questions.
