Modern, Magical Woodsy Escape 1 Hour From NYC

The Lodge is our version of the perfect Hudson Valley hideaway, filled with the best parts of all the places we've stayed over the years. It's an indulgent country escape with the comfiest beds, cushiest couches and coziest nooks to relax in. Fluffy towels, soft blankets, a well-stocked kitchen, and everything you need to make a campfire await, all surrounded by stunning forest views and close to everything you need. Welcome to our magical escape in the woods! IG: @thelodgeupstate

The Lodge is a magical country escape just one hour from NYC. With its open floor plan, high ceilings and furniture meant for melting into, it's the perfect spot to relax and unwind with family and friends. Enjoy your morning coffee on the screen porch while listening to the sounds of the babbling brook. Gather around the fire pit for s'mores, laughs and sounds of the forest. With three living rooms and six bedrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to have a good time and have privacy. Please note we CANNOT allow pets - we have a severe dog allergy in the family. Thank you for your understanding.

The house is on 2.5 private acres and includes a private wooded area behind that you can hike if you wish. We recommend bringing hiking shoes or sneakers because it's a little steep and can be muddy! You can also take a stroll on our very private road up to a gorgeous view and along the brook. Just turn left outside the house and walk around the road barrier and up.

For perfect sunsets, we've built "sunset ridge". This is an elevated sitting area on the hill behind our house with chairs and a beautiful stone wall where you can see all the colors as the sun goes down on your relaxing day.

The Lodge has four official bedrooms (2 king rooms, a room with 2 twins, and a queen room) + a loft area that offers privacy and plenty of cozy spaces to lay down. Additionally, we have a "Zen Den" on the lower level that has a full couch and is a great spot for meditation, reading, playtime and naps. Any questions on this, just shoot us a message.

We also have three living rooms — the light and airy movie/yoga/office space in the loft upstairs, the "conversation pit" on the main floor, and another living room + TV on the lower level. Both living rooms on the upper levels are fit with skylights that provide plenty of natural light.

The lower level can function as it's own self-contained apartment with 2 full bedrooms, the "Zen Den" bedroom, a full bathroom and living room. There is easy in/out access from the lower level through the laundry room and into the garage.

Lovely retreat
The house was plenty big enough for the 7 of us who stayed there. It is clean, well stocked and the host was great at communicating. The pictures are accurate. It felt as if we were in a remote area with no neighbors even though another house shares the driveway, you would never know they are there. Rocket, the cat was very friendly and wanted to come in the house, so be careful about that. He actually jumped into our car when we left the door open for a minute! It was a great location for us to visit Bear Mountain, Cold Spring and West Point.

What a fabulous place!
We had a wonderful visit in Putnam Valley! We loved watching the leaves fall, and loved the tranquility of the area. We will definitely be back! Dom was a responsive host. I couldn’t recommend this place more! Be sure and check out Bear Mountain! As far as the house goes, it’s well stocked with everything you need. Very comfortable, beautiful surroundings.

Paradise in its natural form
This day was nothing short of amazing. The tranquility of the home, the land, the amenities, and the township was phenomenal. If you’re on the hustle all the time this is a great place to sit back relax and get in touch with yourself. Everything from the screen porch to the fire pit, The amazing surround sound created such a tranquil environment. If you’re looking to get away from the city life, this is highly recommended not to mention it is not far from the city . Everything is in very close proximity so you do not have to travel far for any. Items you may need. We look forward to returning back to this location. The host was amazing with communication and very humble. I recommend this place 100% and if I could give it 10 stars I would.

Family Reunion
Every two to three years we take the whole family on a getaway vacation. This trip was a change of pace from the previous ones - Disney, Canadian Rockies - and it was PERFECT. The house was perfect for the size of our family, and the ambiance could not have been better. The s'mores on the last night overthe fire pit in the back yard was a fitting conclusion to a marvelous long weekend.

Bob' s weekend
Family gathered from near and far to Celebrate our brother Bob. The house description was accurate and all in good working order. We depleated the hot water fairly quickly on one morning but went at a slower pace the next day and all was good. The cat Rocket from next door was always ready for some lovin when going out or returning home. Our weather didn't cooperate for use of the screen in porch or fire pit which was infortunate but no ones fault! A beautiful weekend !

Spacious Retreat
My extended family of 9 and I stayed here for several days and had a pleasant experience. The layout is great for large groups with 3 bedrooms on the lower level, 3 bedrooms on the main floor and a huge loft upstairs. There was plenty of room for people to spread out without being on top of each other. There were also a lot of nice personal touches in the home and it was very clean. Worth being aware of is there are a fair amount of stairs if you have older family members, but the ground floor does have a sizeable bedroom and kitchen of its own. There is also a neighbor's cat that likes to hang around (mentioned in the listing). However, he did sneak in and wasn't the friendliest when we had to move him.

Cozy and convenient
Easy access to train station to NYC and easy 25-30min to West Point for anyone headed there! Easy stay for larger groups with 3 bathrooms with plenty of linens available. Loved the ability to have various sleeping arrangements for all ages and plenty of blankets/cozy spaces. The beds, in our opinion, were incredibly comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked and made cooking and seating for larger group very easy. Outdoor porch and firepit super relaxing. Great property.

Exceptional Property and Experience
This is an excellent place to stay! The home was very clean and well equipped throughout. Three bedrooms on the main floor (1 king/master, 1 queen, and 2 twins). A 4th full queen bedroom is on the lower level with its own living/sitting area and a full kitchen. One of our couples had a toddler, so this mini-apartment was perfect for letting him spread out toys, etc without impinging on the main living area upstairs. The screened in porch was particularly nice for visiting and enjoying the sounds of birds and the nearby creek. There is a steep driveway up from the street which is shared with the neighbor. Despite the mention of parking in the listing (2 spaces), you can easily park 5 or 6 normal sized cars and/or trucks next to the house without impacting the neighbors' right-of-way. Contrary to a separate reviewers comments, there is absolutely no evidence of pets in the home in spite of the friendly neighbors' cat's best efforts to be invited in. Communications with Dom were quick, cordial and helpful -- everything you'd want. The only caution I'd mention would apply to those with an impairment to their mobility. Not an issue for us, but there are lots of steps in this house almost everywhere you go -- sunken living room, split level from kitchen to bedrooms, one floor up to the TV room, etc. So, folks using a wheelchair or even a walker/cane would find getting around somewhat challenging. Otherwise, this is a great place to stay with attentive hosts -- a real pleasure.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at “The Lodge”! Everything about the house was perfect and well thought out. From the plush towels, seating areas down to the essential oils in the bathroom! It has a warm and cozy feel while being spacious for the 7 of us friends. Clean and fresh! Plenty of places to be together and have privacy if you wanted. - Indoor and out! Time was taken to make sure whatever you would need was accessible and labeled. The decor eas pleasing to the eyes . The hosts were great- Attentive and informative! We are definitely open to going back for another wonderful stay. Thanks Donnie and Jaime!
