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.
