EXCESSIVE CLEANING FEES
We kindly ask that guests treat the home with care and respect.

Please be mindful by wearing long pants and sleeves while hiking or playing outdoors, and remember to check yourself, kids, and pets daily for ticks.

The Home
The floor-to-ceiling windows really bring the outside into this cabin. Having an open floor plan with cathedral ceilings and a spacious deck just beyond the living room make this an inviting environment for groups. A large sectional sofa faces the wood stove, woodland views, and smart TV for a combination of ultimate leisure. The downstairs closet is full of board games that will entertain the whole family. Full kitchen amenities include a gas range, dishwasher, and microwave for easy at-home cooking, and a midcentury style dining table with room to seat six.
Behind the open living arrangement, the first floor also offers a Queen size bedroom and Bunk (Twin/Full with Twin Trundle) bedroom that both share a full bathroom with a roomy walk-in shower. A King size room is upstairs on the second floor with an ensuite bathroom that features a modern soaking tub, and a work-from-home space overlooking the private, peaceful outdoors.
With 7 private acres to explore, the outdoor space alone can bring all your upstate dreams to life. A swimmable freshwater pond that is 17 feet deep will help you refresh after sunbathing on the deck's chaise lounge chairs. Take a cat nap in the hammocks near the pond or creek, enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot tub or cool off with a book beneath the freestanding umbrella. There are multiple seating arrangements outside including a dining area for six, and a smaller bistro table for two. Al fresco dining during warmer months is hard to pass up with a gas grill available for cooking, and an outdoor cooler to keep food and drink within easy access. An assortment of outdoor games ensures lots of fun for everyone!
Nestled between the trees beside the pond is a large fire pit where your group can end the day together having s'mores and a nightcap under clear, starry skies. The gentle sounds of a neighboring creek will lull you to sleep when it's time to turn in. Whether it's a quick weekend trip or something much longer, you'll all leave Hidden Pond completely rejuvenated.
If you’re looking to explore the region, some of the best destinations are in Accord (25 minutes away) and Kerhonkson (20 minutes) - we highly recommend Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Farms or Rough Cut Brewing. If outdoors activities are more your speed, Minnewaska State Park (20 minutes) and the lovely Red Hill Fire Tower (15 minutes) are right around the corner!
