We hosted a company offsite from Manhattan here for 1 week. It’s a gorgeous property and everyone absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend for any occasion!

Book a lakeside-facing bedroom on the upper floor — the morning light hitting that 37-acre lake through those oversized windows is the kind of thing that stops a conversation mid-sentence. Have your private chef do dinner on the outdoor terrace rather than the dining room; the fireplace inside is lovely, but eating al fresco above the water at dusk, when the tree line goes silhouette, is the real move. Get kayaks on the lake before 8 a.m., when the surface is still glass and the waterfall sound carries. Skip planning too much off-property — the estate's 164 acres reward aimless exploration more than any nearby town. This place earns its quiet; let it.

I came here as a corporate group for a small team offsite and this property was absolutely perfect! The design was amazing, the grounds were gorgeous, and everyone who helped us was very kind and responsive! I've shared this property with other people at my company and we can't wait to come back!

We recently stayed at this incredible Airbnb with a group of friends, and it exceeded all our expectations. The property itself is stunning, providing a perfect backdrop for quality time together. One of the highlights was having a private chef come over to prepare delicious meals for us, adding an extra touch of luxury to our stay. The lakefront location offered a variety of fun water activities, while the hot tub was ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. Evenings by the outdoor fire pit were a hit, where we shared stories and made s’mores under the stars. Plus, the proximity to New Paltz made it easy to pop over for a day trip or a bite in town. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable group getaway!

This location was absolutely stunning. The pictures couldn’t possibly do it justice! Spacious enough for a work retreat and secluded enough for everyone to leave more relaxed than they came. 10/10
