Discover your ultimate escape in this stunning, brand-new contemporary home nestled in the peaceful woods of Stone Ridge. Perfect for gatherings of family and friends, this spacious residence comfortably sleeps 10 in style and comfort. With sweeping forest views, private outdoor spaces, and a focus on sustainability and allergy-friendly living, your serene Hudson Valley retreat awaits.
Step into thoughtfully designed, open-concept spaces that blend modern luxury with natural beauty. Soaring vaulted ceilings and beautiful European oak floors create a warm, airy atmosphere, while sleek fixtures and original artwork add a sophisticated touch. The chef’s kitchen with Bosch appliances and breakfast bar, cozier living zones with smart TVs, and a relaxing reading nook offer a perfect balance of comfort and elegance.
Unwind and connect in outdoor living areas featuring two decks, terraces, and a fire pit — perfect for outdoor dinners, stargazing, or simply soaking in the peaceful woods. An outdoor shower (in summer), landscaped gardens, and expansive grass and clover lawns provide additional spaces to relax or enjoy outdoor activities.
Back inside, refined bedrooms serve as private sanctuaries, each outfitted with premium, eco-conscious mattresses and natural, organic and hypoallergenic bedding. The primary suite offers a private terrace overlooking the woods, while the flexible lower level and separate apartment provide extra space for guests or creative pursuits.
This home is designed with sustainability in mind, using non-fragrance, cruelty-free, and environmentally friendly products throughout— from cleaning supplies and bath products to laundry detergents and dish soaps—creating a truly allergy-friendly and green environment. The owners aim to make this a pet-free zone to reduce allergens but do accept emotional support and service animals to accommodate all guests.
Located just minutes from charming villages, local farms, wineries, and outdoor attractions at Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve, this haven offers an exceptional blend of luxury, nature, and wellness—less than 90 minutes from NYC.

PLEASE NOTE -
Cancellation and Insurance: We encourage all our guests to purchase travel insurance, whether through the OTA when offered at the time of booking, or through a third party. We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy.
Rental Agreement: Please know that to comply with our insurance and liability requirements, a signed rental agreement is required. After booking, we’ll request your email via Airbnb messaging and send the agreement to you. It must be completed within 48 hours to avoid cancellation.
Utility Outages: As Upstate New York can see its’ fair share of inclement weather and is primarily a tree rich area with overhead power lines, please know we do not assume responsibility for utility outages during your stay. If electric, water or Wi-Fi service is impacted, we do not refund. However, this home is supplied with a whole house generator. Of course, if an outage were to persists for longer than 8 hours or the generator was malfunctioning during an outage, we would allow a cancellation without penalty.
Weather: During the winter months, there may be ice, snow, and hazardous conditions. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. Please ask about the plowing schedule for the house. Most driveways are plowed at or after 3” of accumulation, however we cannot guarantee the time of plowing and guests should plan accordingly.
Animals and Pests: The house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. Although it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. All our properties benefit from scheduled pest control, but we are in a natural environment and we can not fortify the houses completely.
Cleaning Guarantee: We are very proud of our housekeeping team who go beyond both Airbnbs General Cleaning Guidelines and Airbnb’s Enhanced Cleaning Process recommendations. Because of their hard work and high professional standards, we are able to guarantee our cleaning to our guests. We take time stamped video and photos of the cleaned property and do not refund for any small issues found during a stay. Should a guest feel that something is amiss or needs additional attention, we will have a housekeeper attend the home to take care of it within 12 hours of an issue being
We look forward to welcoming you to The Obsidian!
