The house is just as beautiful as you would guess from the photos. We loved the actual pool, the pool table, the record players and vinyl record collection. The air conditioning worked remarkably well in the hot summer, and you'll find the house well stocked and functional.
The nearby Lake Minnewaska is truly beautiful, our swim there was delightful, and the trails around it are also stunning. Our favorite activity was renting bikes (New Paltz Biking) and riding the nice flat trails to the special outdoors Rail Trail Cafe, where the food, spirit, and space are remarkable. My kids loved the ride, and it was almost 11 miles round trip. :) Thanks!
