Zen House at the Mountain Ridge

Exhale, relax, and recharge in this modern, stylish, and thoughtfully designed space nestled at the foot of the Shawangunk Mountains. Located on the serene, forested slope of the ridge and just moments from Minnewaska State Park, this home is a peaceful escape crafted with care by a seasoned designer and Superhost. Whether you’re looking to reconnect with nature, retreat from busy life, or gather with loved ones, the setting invites calm and inspiration. Town of Gardiner is just 7 minutes away, and New Paltz is 15.

Fully renovated and professionally decorated in December 2024, the home blends design and comfort with intention. The open-concept layout features a sleek modern kitchen, dining area, and cozy living room anchored by a real wood-burning stove. A luxurious Foster Leather Sectional from Joss & Main is perfect for lounging, sharing a board game, or enjoying movie night on the 120” drop-down projector screen. The XGIMI Horizon Pro smart home theater projector connects with Apple TV, Google Play, and built-in Chromecast for seamless streaming.

Outside, a large natural stone porch provides a tranquil gathering spot for sipping coffee or stargazing by the fire. The outdoor firepit and built-in seating area create a warm space for evening conversations under the trees.

The space is stocked with fresh linens, soft towels, natural body products, incense, candles, and high-quality teas and coffee—all carefully curated to support a nourishing stay. We’ve chosen each item as if preparing the home for ourselves—no shortcuts, no low-quality supplies—just thoughtful hospitality.

Guests are encouraged to explore the home’s small surprises: a “meaningful library” filled with reflective books, and hidden messages scattered throughout the space—like a personal riddle from the host, created to inspire curiosity and reflection. It’s part of what makes this house more than just a place to stay.

We hope you find the peace, connection, and reset you’ve been seeking—and that you leave ready to meet the world again, stronger and more grounded.
