Notes from the host
Forest Glen
Beautiful, restored 1814 Federal farmhouse with large modern additions surrounded by 19 acres of nature in the popular town of New Paltz. Great views of the Shawangunk Ridge. An outdoor pool will be a cool respite for hot summer Hudson Valley days. Inside, you'll find a unique combination of 19th Century tradition and modern design with 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. There is also a firepit! Lots of kid-friendly touches.
*If you would like to bring a dog, you *must* add it to the reservation under the # of guests section upon booking. One dog is allowed per reservation unless otherwise approved by the host (please send us a message). Sorry, we do not allow cats.
*Pool is available only from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend. Note: The pool is not heated, but it sits in direct sunlight!
You can rest easy knowing your stay is covered with $1,500 in “All-Risk” Damage Protection. Although rare, accidental damage from guests does happen. Traditionally, this was managed via a security deposit or vacation rental damage insurance purchased by the guest. Both are cumbersome and often have big limitations in protection.
With “all-risk” protection, all accidental damage from a guest is covered unless specifically excluded such as, but not limited to, normal wear and tear, infestation, or prior damage.
We hope you enjoy your vacation with peace of mind knowing that if an accident happens and damages occur, you are protected under Waivo.
