5815 Route 44/55

Set along a scenic mountain pass that winds between Kerhonkson, Gardiner, and New Paltz, this sweet two-bedroom Cottage is the kind of upstate escape that's getting harder to find. Small in all the right ways, it offers just the right amount of space to relax, recharge, and enjoy the slower pace of Hudson Valley living, whether for weekends, weeks at a time, or year-round stays. Inside, the home is thoughtfully laid out with a comfortable living room, cozy bedrooms, a recently refreshed bathroom, and an efficient kitchen with backyard views and direct access to the deck. Light pours in through updated windows, and the interiors balance simplicity with warmth...think: clean finishes, mid-century nods, and an unfussy, easy-to-care-for vibe. Step outside and you'll find a fenced yard with plenty of grassy space to spread out. There's a hot tub tucked under a covered pavilion, a patio for outdoor dining, and a firepit ringed by Adirondack chairs, perfect for cool summer nights under the stars. Mature trees line the back of the property, giving the yard a sense of privacy and seclusion without feeling remote. Located in Kerhonkson, just minutes from Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve, the home is surrounded by some of the best hiking, biking, and swimming spots in the region. You're also near local favorites like Arrowood Brewery, Westwind Orchard, Kelder's Farm, Inness, and a growing number of upstate eateries, markets, and vintage shops. It's a part of the Hudson Valley that still feels undiscovered but not for long. Move-in ready homes at this price point, in this location, are increasingly hard to come by, especially ones with as much charm and outdoor living space as this. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, a short-term rental investment, or a simple full-time residence with style and soul, this one is worth a closer look. Just don't wait too long, places like this don't tend to linger.
