Red Barn Retreat - Shawangunk Mountains Getaway
Our one-bedroom guest house offers serenity and privacy on the Shawangunk Kill river, surrounded by the natural beauty of local farmland and "the Gunks" mountains. Step outside to soak in the tub, kayak, enjoy a bbq, or gather around the firepit. When the spirit of exploration calls you, it's only a short drive to hiking, biking, and world-class rock climbing, along with wineries, breweries, farms, orchards, cider mills, and many fine restaurants. A retreat for body, mind, and soul.

My son and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was perfect for nearby hiking, dining and shopping/walking around New Paltz. The hosts were very accommodating and had great recommendations for everything local. My only complaint is not being able to stay longer, we plan to return!
Recently renovated property. Very nice fixtures , well maintained and beautiful views. Highly recommend

One of the best stays I’ve had at a rental property! The place has everything you’d need to feel cozy and at home, including blankets, coffee, hot tub and more! Bill has gone the extra mile to provide for guests and he was attentive to all our needs. This is the place to stay!
Really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for getting to hiking and biking sites. The town was cute with restaurants and farmers markets. Property was well maintained, comfortable and relaxing. Thank u.
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.
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 lovely place! Great host, such a beautiful property and a perfect getaway location. The house is just as he describes, and has put a lot of time and attention into the details.
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!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this property. Perfect for a little weekend away. Dog friendly, very clean and recently updated. Host was very accommodating and gave us great recommendations on hiking, restaurants, activities to do in the area. He had some guest passes we used to check out some beautiful parks & trails for free. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Plus it is dog friendly :)
We were looking for a place near by just to get away and recharge and Red Barn Retreat was our answer. Exactly as pictured, private, on a beautiful quiet country road, winery you can walk to, beautiful views, enjoyed the birds. We didn't want to leave but look forward to going back!

Friendly and accommodating host. Amenities were excellent. Comfortable and clean in a very peaceful and beautiful setting.
Great communication prior to arrival with clear directions and contact information in case we had trouble with directions.
Highly recommended!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
The property was just as described. It does share the property with the owners house, but has plenty of privacy. The owner has everything needed for an awesome stay. Would stay there again!
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 was an absolutely amazing stay. My husband and I hand an amazing time with our two dogs celebrating our anniversary. We plan on returning again because we hand such a lovely time. We were greeted by our host who was so kind and helpful. All the recommendations were amazing and really helped us plan out our short time there. I wish we were able to stay longer but again we will be returning in the future!
My wife and I (and our cat and dog!) had a lovely time at this property. It was both secluded while also being just a very short drive to New Paltz and restaurants. The outdoor hot tub and fire pit were lovey. We were greeted with a bottle of local wine when we checked in which was a great touch. Highly recommend - we will definitely be back!
