- "In for weekend vacation. Place was as promised and more." - "The shower water didn’t get hot which is fine for a hot summer day. Not so much for a VERY cold day in the mountains. Super adorable little cabin down behind a main house. It’s right on the water but it says not to get in the water." - "•No internet the whole time & bad phone reception (which wouldn’t be as big a deal if we had internet). •Took hours to get responses from host. •Put no effort into doing anything about internet until I contacted vrbo the 2nd day. •There was thick white residue & dead bugs in the electric kettle. I sent pictures to host and was completely disgusted. They said “we are terribly sorry your stay is not working for you…” (as if it was my problem & not theirs) & asked if I wanted to cancel my stay (midday on our last day). •The front picture on the listing is a lie. We had to search for the “deck with chairs by the water”. We found a rotting wooden platform behind 4 foot high weeds & completely surrounded by overgrowth. We would not have known it was there if we weren’t searching. •You have to park in a tiny driveway by the road & then lug all of your luggage, groceries, etc. downhill & down dangerous, uneven, makeshift steps with railroad ties sticking out all over. •Mini fridge has no freezer section (not a huge deal but would’ve been nice to know ahead of time, so we didn’t bring a pint of ice cream). •Biggest issue was a lack of effort or care from the host. Could not have cared less about fixing any of the issues & tried to turn it around on me instead of apologizing & trying to make it right. When I said I was extremely disappointed & would be leaving a bad review (which I’ve never done before), they offered me a 10% refund ($28). It was an insult to offer me that after all of the issues & all of the time I spent trying to get assistance when it was supposed to be a relaxing weekend away with my husband. •I wish I could include pictures in this review because I have pictures of everything. BEWARE. DO NOT RENT THIS PLACE."

--------------------

Our studio has been on Abnb for over 10 years; I am a "superhost" on that platform. Here are a few of the most recent reviews, as of January 2024. Scroll past these reviews to read the rest of the property description.....

Suzanne:
Hello,
First, I have to say that Ami is a very helpful and responsive host! Never had to wait long for a response and the responses were always friendly and detailed.
Second, the jacuzzi and the sauna and the beautiful view over the valley and to the mountain are absolutely the reason to go here. Awesome and so soothing and peaceful. Beautiful! We didn't have a chance to do any hiking unfortunately as we had to cut our trip short due to a family emergency, but hope to come again soon.
Also, my partner loved the Kombucha!
Thank you, Ami!

Irina:
My husband and I had a great time for New Year at Ami's place. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need and it's in a perfect location where you can easily get to most trails and also in a walkable distance from town. The most memorable were the views of nature, such as mountains, trees with a variety of birds (red cardinals, ducks, tree sparrows and many others) as well as the hot tub from where you can either watch the birds, the stars or just enjoy the peacefulness.
As per the description, we were greeted with fresh oranges and a homemade kombucha, which is the best one we ever had.
Another highlight is the infrared sauna. After spending 2.5 days, we were recharged and we definitely would like to be back!

Marcia:
This place is very cozy, very convenient, with incomparable views that made my stay a great experience. Ami has been a great host and has made my stay very memorable. Thank you, Ami!

Kaitlin:
Rating, 5 stars
Ami’s studio was a great, relaxing stay! Quiet and secluded but close to town, restaurants, and hiking trails. Thank you for letting us stay!
Response from Ami

Meredith:
Such a peaceful and healing spot! Absolutely perfect for our girls reading retreat! We got in the hot tub just before sunset and completely lost track of time in the quiet and peace. could have spent several more days hitting the local restaurants and shops, soaking up more friendship and hot tub time. We will absolutely be back!

Judy:
We had an absolutely incredible stay! The hot tub and sauna provided a magical experience, especially beneath the stunning Geminid meteor showers—a highlight we'll always cherish. From the moment we entered the studio, we were greeted by the soothing scent of lavender from the aroma diffuser, which really helped set a relaxing and healing mood. We enjoyed the unique touch of freshly squeezed orange juice and the delightful 'Calm Kombucha', locally made and absolutely refreshing. Thank you so much for hosting us and for making our stay so remarkable and memorable.

Loved this peaceful getaway ! Everything was so amazing ! Ami has such a great attention for detail. The home felt like a spa. The hot tub and sauna were amazing. The home smelled so good and was so calm. We had the absolute best time and will be back soon. Highly highly recommend!

Julie:
Beautiful stay! The hot tub and sauna were definitely the highlight, but the living space was just as great. We were surprised at how comfy and at-home we felt. Would definitely recommend for people who want a peaceful getaway.

Scarlett:
We had such an enjoyable stay here after a week in NYC. The recommendation of the hike to Skytop was fantastic. And a lovely treat to come back to the hot tub and sauna which looked onto beautiful surroundings. The attention to detail in the property was perfect, from the binoculars for bird watching to the oranges for fresh juice in the morning! Would highly recommend staying here.

Jordan:
Ami was an incredible host! Very knowledgeable of the area and communicative. So many special touches were included that made this the best, most peaceful Abnb I’ve ever stayed at! Fresh squeezed orange juice, bikes for our use, and a special birthday cupcake being just a few :)

Rating, 5 stars
My partner and I wanted to have a short getaway to enjoy some peace and the beauty of Autumn in New York. We're very happy we got to stay here. As soon as we drove up to the driveway we felt comforted by the greenery of the front yard, and the view from the back porch was spectacular. The studio itself had a warmth we felt immediately upon entering. The lighting, the furniture, the scents, and the cleanliness was all so welcoming. Ami goes above and beyond with providing delicious kombucha, fruits for fresh juice, and plenty of other snacks. There are also free day passes to Mohonk Preserve, which is just a few minutes' drive away, and we enjoyed a beautiful hike there. The town of New Paltz was also very convenient for us to get the groceries we needed for our stay. We were able to meet Ami before checking out; he was friendly and warm, and we certainly wished we could have stayed for another day or two. We highly recommend Ami's place for anyone looking to stay in the area!

Erik:

Overall a Great host with a beautiful place to stay, highly recommend.

Jessy:

And here is the rest of the property description:

One-mile stroll to New Paltz Village on country road or on Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. Kitchen stocked with essentials. Air conditioned. Sleeps three in super comfy beds— one queen and one twin.

An excellent location in New Paltz for this spacious, quiet, and private studio apt with full kitchen and bath within a private home. One super-comfortable queen-sized bed and one twin bed with a comfy organic latex mattress.

Only Young Living products (pure, plant based, no harsh chemicals) are used to keep the apartment clean, and we supply the same for bath soap, shampoo, and dish soap. Better for you and for our Earth. We also provide a diffuser and essential oils for focus, restful sleep, uplifting mood, etc. Enjoy!

It's an easy and pleasurable one mile stroll to downtown New Paltz on country road or rail trail.

If you’re traveling from NYC without a car, you can take the Adirondack Trailways bus to New Paltz from the Port Authority Terminal. Once in New Paltz you can either walk (about 1 mile) or take taxi ($5) to the house.

The Water Street Market and the rest of New Paltz cafes, shops, and organic vegetable farms are a 20-30 minute walk and even faster bike ride from this spacious and peaceful apartment on a most desirable country road frequented by walkers, joggers, and cyclists.

By car, you will be 5-15 minutes from the Mohonk Preserve, Mohonk Mountain House, and Minnewaska State Park.

But leave the car behind as you bicycle (bikes available for your use) the Walkill Valley Rail Trail north to the quaint village of Rosendale, south to the bucolic village of Gardiner, or head west to the Mohonk Preserve bicycle and walking paths.

Return home to rest on the patio or soak in the awesome hot tub with its inspirational wooded mountain views and perpetually singing wild birds, or have a nice sweat in the infrared sauna.

This is a perfect place to unwind, relax and use as a base for all your Hudson Valley adventures!

Other things to note:

Summertime: The property is well-shaded and this studio is often quite naturally cool in the summer. However, there’s A/C for those dog days!

We are looking for an individual or couple who enjoy vacationing in a natural setting and living a simple, healthy, lifestyle in a home surrounded by forest in a region where a wealth of biking, hiking, rock climbing, spelunking. and swimming opportunities abound. It is available from August 8th to September 8th. Dates are flexible and ideally we would like just one renter for the better part of the 4 weeks.

Our home is a cozy and lovely 1 bedroom apartment (with a king size bed), 1 bathroom ( with a deep bathtub and shower), furnished simply and comfortably. The main room is an open concept but partitioned living room, dining area and kitchen with a walk out to the patio and back yard. We have a lovely outdoor patio with a shade umbrella, table and chairs, BBQ and patio lights adjacent to our raised garden beds. It is very serene with the sound of birds, woodpeckers and crickets. The apt remains cool even on hot days and the bedroom and main room have overhead fans. There is excellent internet and fitness equipment to enjoy, sauna, inversion table, trampoline, exercise ball, weights, darts and board games.

We have a summer home in Canada so we rent our lower level apartment of our split ranch home short term when we are traveling and we rent the upstairs long term. We are at the edge of New Paltz, set back a distance from the 2 lane secondary highway and surrounded by a 200 acres of woods. Pam is a massage therapist and there is a massage table in the recreation room (our converted garage) you may use or have a therapist come to massage you on site! Ronnie is a mental health counselor and his office and printer could be made available to use and his mountain bike is available by anyone who is an experienced rider if not used off road.

We are in the heart of the mid-Hudson Valley with all the bounty it has to offer, Farmer's Markets, Lake Minnewaska, Buddhist Meditation Centers, Sky lake, Menla, Wineries, Boutiques, The Rail Trail, Summer Festivals and Music, and we are less than an hour drive to Rosendale, Kingston and Woodstock. Our home is a 10 minute drive to downtown New Paltz, a quaint, safe, college town with all the conveniences one needs, health food store, grocery stores, banks, movie theatre, shops etc.

Relax and unwind in our bright and private 2BR apartment located at the edge of Unison Arts Center’s sculpture garden (paths through woods and fields). A mile from New Paltz on the way to Mohonk Preserve, this simple but comfortable space features work by local artists and regional photographs. One of the bedrooms has an additional half-bathroom with a hand-made mosaic. Guests have their own entrance.

The two upstairs bedrooms have quality queen beds, and the living room has a couch that folds out into a full bed that is best suited to kids. Additional twin floor mattress and a crib can be provided upon request. All bedding and towels are provided.

The apartment has its own entrance off the back deck of the house, and its own part of the deck with a table and chairs, looking into the woods, an ideal spot to have your breakfast or dinner.

There is a small but well-appointed open kitchen in the apartment for you, with a stove, refrigerator, and oven, as well as essentials like coffee, tea, oil/vinegar, pots/pans and cutlery.

From early June into September, the pool is available for use during daytime hours. It is shared with house residents, but guests can request a 1-hour slot per day to have it alone. It is an above-ground 18 foot round (3.5 ft deep) pool.

The bathroom includes towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. This is an older house, and parts of it have been renovated while other parts are original, so some of it is more "rustic," but we love it. It is truly comfortable and homey, and a great place to relax and enjoy the best of this region.

The apartment is attached to a house where we reside, and the deck is a shared space, though you have a section with your own table and chairs. The spaces have considerable privacy, but you may occasionally be able to hear our TV as there is a shared wall between the living rooms. The bedrooms do not share any walls with the main house so there is total privacy for the sleeping areas.

Just across the lawn is the entrance to Unison Arts Center’s sculpture walk, with both permanent and rotating exhibits of over 50 sculptures.

Other things to note
My wife and I live upstairs in the main house with our dogs and our energetic 2-year-old son, Theo. We do our best to keep things quiet, but you might hear a few little footsteps in the morning. For light sleepers, we’ve provided a white noise machine, ear plugs, and a dehumidifier (located in the utility closet) to help ensure a restful stay.

If you're bringing a pet, please let us know in advance. We do charge a small pet fee to help with cleaning and convenience. We kindly ask that guests don’t bring pets without notifying us — we appreciate your honesty and cooperation.

For safety, we have a floodlight security camera above the garage. It’s there for our family’s protection and is only reviewed in the case of property damage or if we suspect pets are being brought in without notice.

We're truly excited to host you and are just upstairs if you need anything — from local recommendations to help with anything during your stay!
