Private spa oasis in the forest w sauna & hot tub

We've curated this home to be the perfect meld of modern design, comfort, and nature for the ultimate getaway that you'll want to keep coming back to. Less than a 1 hour drive from Manhattan, the house features a pool (open until November) a hot tub under a theater of stars, a 6 person cedar sauna, and an extensive backyard within a State Park. Walton Lake, Harriman State Park, Mt Peter ski slope and countless hikes are just minutes away. Storm King, Dia Beacon, and Legoland are also close by. The house has everything you need for a jaunt in the country with friends and family, a nature retreat, or simply working from "home". Each room features views of the forest from every window, casting glimmering light moments inside throughout the day. The common spaces are open yet cozy, outfitted with a mix of mid century modern furnishings, colorful details and plants which bring the natural world inside. The den provides a private, dedicated workspace or additional bedroom with a desk and a supremely comfy Innovation sleeper sofa for 2. Each bedroom has its own desk for your creative retreat or remote learning. Foodies will love our kitchen, stocked with a Vitamix, Instapot, rice cooker, food processor, magic bullet, immersion blender, ice cream maker, toaster, hot water boiler, french press and aeropress, baking and grilling accessories galore. Cocktail lovers will love our full collection of glassware. The house is designed to meld with its forest environment, flowing into the landscaping which flows into the 2.5 acres of surrounding forest. The patio outside has multiple areas for dining and hanging out--from the dining table in the upper deck near the kitchen, to the couch, chaise, grill and dining table in the lower patio area. The pool house is the perfect place for a sun-drenched morning coffee or a cocktail under the stars... Escape the bright lights of the city to our oasis where at night, you'll feel like you have the forest to yourself. Roast marshmallows in our fire pit, and gaze at the Milky Way with your bare eyes from our 6-person hot tub. (There is no additional charge for hot tub heating). For those who love play, the front and back yards are great for bocce ball, frisbee, soccer (all included).
