The layout:
Upstairs: one bedroom + small office (one flight of stairs)

Large backyard
Shed for light storage
A separate guest house on the property (currently rented by another guest)

A car is strongly recommended, especially for a longer stay. Public transit is possible via Trailways bus to New Paltz + a short cab ride.

About This Lister

I'm an artist based in Brooklyn. I'm the landlord and will be your point of contact. I've been renting this house off and on for the past few years when I am not using it myself.
