31 Laurel Hollow Road

Set on a private road just behind Minnewaska, this light-filled, three-story home offers the kind of quiet, well-considered living that the Hudson Valley does best -- and it comes with the rare benefit of being a fully legal, permitted Airbnb. Five legal bedrooms, three and a half baths, and multiple living spaces spread across three finished floors, including a walk-out basement that opens to a covered patio and the backyard beyond. The heart of the home is a sun-soaked kitchen with new countertops, updated appliances, a farmhouse sink, and brass fixtures, opening directly onto a large deck with sweeping Catskill mountain views -- a morning coffee spot you won't get tired of. A bright, airy dining room and a generous living room sit just off the kitchen, with new wide-plank flooring running throughout. Recent improvements are extensive: a brand-new HVAC system, fully renovated bathrooms (including a stunning primary bath with soaking tub and custom tile work), refreshed kitchen, and a new picture window on the landing that frames the surrounding forest -- complete with a hanging rattan chair that's become the favorite reading nook in the house. The home is set up for passive house performance, so it's as efficient as it is beautiful. Outside, a heated gunite pool with a cascading waterfall and privacy fencing sits at the edge of the lawn, surrounded by woods on all sides -- extending the swim season well into the cooler months. The property is exceptionally private, accessed via a private road, with hiking trails, swimming holes, and Minnewaska State Park all just minutes away. Kerhonkson, Accord, Stone Ridge, New Paltz, and Kingston are an easy drive -- and NYC is only two hours south. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a weekend escape, or a proven short-term rental, this property delivers on every front: turn-key, energy-efficient, full of light, and genuinely tucked away.
