The house

We built this place for downtime, and winter is when it works best. The gas fireplace sits right by the dining table, all three bathrooms have heated floors, and the two upstairs bedrooms have blackout blinds and beds by Restoration Hardware and Hästens.

Downstairs is one open floor with the kitchen in the middle: the dining table and fireplace on one side, the living room with a Frame TV, board games and puzzles on the other.

You're also close to everything. Coffee and groceries in Stone Ridge are five minutes away, High Falls is ten, and Kingston and New Paltz are twenty. Minnewaska and Mohonk are twenty minutes for a winter hike.

It's a different house in every season.

The house and yard under fresh snow

Winter

Snow on the trees, the fireplace on, and staying in as the whole plan.

Spring

The gardens wake up. Raised beds of herbs, greens and flowers.

Solo Stove fire burning under string lights at dusk

Fireflies fill the woods behind the yard. Hence the name.

Outside

A fenced yard that opens into the woods

The whole yard is deer-fenced. That keeps the gardens intact, keeps ticks down, and gives kids and small dogs room to run.

There's Gloster teak furniture on the patio, a Weber gas grill, a Solo Stove Yukon fire pit under string lights, a hammock between two cedars, and enough lawn for frisbee. The screened porch off the kitchen is where most dinners end up.

Heidi, New York · stayed with kids

Good to know

Before you book

Check-in / out
In after 3:00 PM, out by 11:00 AM. Self check-in with a keypad.
Early or late
Early check-in and late checkout are possible case by case. It depends on whether another guest arrives or leaves that day, so just ask.
Pets
Tell us about any pet before booking. Dogs case by case; smaller, well-trained dogs fit best. No cats (severe allergies).
Quiet house
No parties, and no groups planning to be loud late at night. Guest and pet count should match your booking.
Fewer ticks
With deer fenced out of the yard, there are far fewer ticks here than on an unfenced property in the area. A quick check after time outside in late spring and early fall is still smart.
Access
The whole house is yours except the basement, which is storage and utilities.
Work
Spectrum internet at 163 Mbps and a dedicated desk in Bedroom 2.
Laundry
Washer and dryer in the house.
