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.

Relaxing getaway!
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!

Perfect winter getaway
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.

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!

Lovely Weekend Away!
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!

Incredible experience, great vacation!
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!

Wonderful Stay
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.

All the reviews are right!
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.

Wish I could give it more than 5 stars
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.

Lovely stay!
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!

Perfect
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.

Perfect Country Getaway!
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!

perfect birthday getaway
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!

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!
