Our log house is located in one of the most picturesque and fun-filled areas of the Hudson Valley. You're within a 10-minute drive of Kingston, NY, the 1st capital of New York State, which happens to have an impressive array of restaurants. Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and New Paltz are also popular destinations and are within a 15-minute drive while Woodstock is only 20 minutes away. All 4 places have lots of exciting restaurants that feature locally grown ingredients and farm-to-table cooking. Between those nearby towns and Saugerties, you'll be busy eating out, visiting local farms and vineyards and enjoying other activities such as hiking, shopping, horse-back riding, golfing, playing tennis, boating, sunbathing and having all sorts of fun. Guests to the equestrian Horse Shows in the Sun (HITS) events in the summer will find the house conveniently located in the same town of Saugerties as the shows themselves. The breathtaking Kaaterskill Waterfalls are in the vicinity as is the spectacular Overlook Mountain - both famous hiking & bird-watching destinations. Saugerties Lighthouse is nearby and is renown for its beauty, with a trail excellent for bird-watching leading up to it. Mountain Top Arboretum is a short ride away with its natural beauty, classes for adults and kids and trails to hike on. Esopus Creek is not only well known for its fly-fishing in the Hudson Valley and the Catskills but far, far beyond. The nearby North-South Lake, a 1,100-acre oasis near Palenville, New York is famous for its hiking trails, swimming beaches, and small boat rentals. The Sunset Rock / South Taconic Trail provides a reasonably challenging hike along some of the most scenic vistas in the Catskills. Ready for a yoga retreat? This is a perfect setting for it too! Saugerties also has a thriving literary scene and is home to Inquiring Minds, an independent book store, which holds readings by prominent authors. There's also a thriving auction house marketplace where visitors and local residents meet and compete for an eclectic mix of art, furniture and various artifacts. Whatever your heart and soul yearn for, you can find it here, in this bucolic paradise! To put your mind at ease, we recently installed a whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank - enough to power the house for a week in case of an electricity outage (a frequent occurrence in the Hudson Valley).About pets:No pets allowed.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:Events allowed: family gatherings and birthday parties.Maximum event attendees: 16.
