Perfect

We had a wonderful family vacation at Michele’s house in New Paltz. The house had everything we needed and more! The house clean, comfortable and well equipped. We loved the pool, hot tub and the turf yard. The location was perfect for us, close to nature and a short drive into town. Michele was easy to communicate with and we would happly stay there again if our travels bring us back to the New Paltz area

This house is perfect for families with young kids and it is in the best location (close to hiking and not far from town). The view of the gorgeous Shawangunk ridge from the kitchen window or backyard is priceless! We highly recommend this house.
