Property details

Welcome to Cragswood Lodge, a rustic retreat where cozy cabin vibes meet modern comfort, nestled deep in the heart of the Hudson Valley. Surrounded by towering trees and natural beauty, yet just minutes from the restaurants, trails, and vineyards of New Paltz, this private sanctuary is the perfect escape for group gatherings, family reunions, or a weekend getaway with your favorite people. The Main House exudes warmth with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning stove, and a rustic-chic aesthetic that invites you to unwind. Whether you're preparing a hearty meal in the fully equipped kitchen with its signature green countertops, dining around the large table, or curling up with a good book in the den, every space is designed with comfort in mind. Step outside to find even more rustic charm—a hot tub under the stars, two fire pits, a covered patio with a bench swing, a grill, and an above-ground pool with bar seating, perfect for soaking up the sun and creating lasting memories. Just steps away, the Guest House offers added flexibility and privacy. This bright space features a queen bed, full bed, full bathroom, and an open-concept living area with a large sectional, dining space, and a fully equipped kitchen. The abundance of natural light creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal retreat for in-laws, early risers, or anyone seeking a bit of solitude. Cragswood Lodge comfortably accommodate your entire group, while still giving everyone plenty of space to spread out. Whether you're hiking Mohonk Preserve, exploring nearby towns like Gardiner and High Falls, or simply relaxing by the fire, Cragswood Lodge offers the best of the Hudson Valley—wrapped in rustic charm, comfort, and fresh mountain air provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips! Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York’s Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area’s rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there’s a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between. Local Attractions: Overlook Mountain Wild Forest, Kaaterskill Wild Forest Falling Waters Preserve, Esopus Creek Conservancy Trail, Saugerties Lighthouse, Cantine Field, Opus 40, Village Diner, The Dutch, Miss Lucy’s Kitchen.

This house was perfect for our trip! very close to main street in New Paltz, but felt private. Lots of space and large enough for everyone invited.

Perfect stay for our climbing trip in the Gunks! The only complaint is that the beds in the guesthouse are just in one giant area rather than in separate rooms, so there’s less privacy for folks staying there. Other than that we were super happy
