Huge house with amazing kitchen, near great hiking; great for groups! This beautiful, nine bedroom, art-filled home with an enormous wraparound porch and a huge, fully-stocked kitchen is a mountaintop dream come true. An hour and a half from upper Manhattan and walking distance to Sam's Point Preserve hiking trails, the house has both kitchen and pantry sinks, two refrigerators, a dishwasher, espresso machine, a smoker and a grill, and a huge array of kitchen appliances and cooking utensil. The house is just down the road from the beautiful hiking trails of Sam's Point Preserve, which is connected to Minnewaska State Park, and an hour from art at DIA Beacon and Storm King. The new Legoland is about 35 minutes away. There are many wineries, and for the warmer weather there are so many swimming holes and hikes nearby. The house is the perfect place to spend time with friends and families drinking coffee in the morning sun in the library, cooking together in the massive kitchen and sharing a meal at the dining room table that seats sixteen. At night you can watch movies in the huge living room and there are plenty of games for kids, including foosball and an air hockey table inside, and croquet and badminton outside. The house is located in a quiet mountaintop town which is on the National Historic Register. Situated on four acres with a big grassy yard, the house is a short distance from New Paltz, Kingston, Woodstock, Accord, Lake Minnewaska, wineries, cideries and countless antique shops, and it is 40 minutes from Woodbury Commons. This house was built for landscape painters in the late 1800's to go to the mountaintop and paint, and then was run by the Cornell University hospitality program in the 1950s. Remnants of the history are seen throughout the house, from the steel and glass windows in the library and some bedrooms, to century-old telephones. Please be aware, this is an old house in a historic district, and we are trying to maintain as much of the original details as possible. It has the charm of an old house, but if that is not your thing, it may not be the house for you. It is not intended for parties or loud groups, but it is perfect for extended families, multiple families or groups of friends who are looking for a place to read, cook and have dinners together, play and enjoy the snow in a sunny, warm house. It is a historic home with a lot of character, and does not have air conditioning, though because it is mountaintop, there are always breezes and it cools off quickly in the evenings. It is a great house for kids, both inside and out. We are often able to allow for an early check in and late check out, so if that might be beneficial, please feel to ask!
