Kingston, NY, United States

Mountain Rock: Privacy, BBQ, Firepit, Game Room

Escape to Mountain Rock—a light‑filled contemporary farmhouse tucked amid five private acres of pines along a rock ledge. Vaulted ceilings, window‑wrapped walls set the stage for an airy 4 bed / 4 bath retreat where sleek design meets Catskills warmth. Craft brunch in the chef’s kitchen, linger over long dinners at the live‑edge table, then stargaze on the deck or toast s’mores by the fire pit. Thoughtfully curated furnishings and hotel‑quality linens promise comfort; nature does the rest.

Perfect home for a friends weekend away. Plenty of space, very clean, comfy beds, and great light. We especially enjoyed the bird watching from the porch and the TV room. Close to everything Kingston has to offer (we had a great meal at Sonder, fun drinks at the Stockade Tavern, and picked up pizza from Sorry, Charlie). Highly recommend!

We just finished up a stay and we couldn’t be happier. The house was beautiful, spacious and clean. The living room/ dining and kitchen is open and separate from the sleeping space. The outside decks and porches were great. They were very responsive with any questions or help we needed. I highly recommend a stay here

This is the perfect home for families! The house was fully stocked with everything you need from the kitchen for cooking to toys and books for the kids. The house was completely secluded, yet less than 15 minutes to Kingston. Highly recommend for those looking for a getaway to Hudson Valley!

We recently spent several nights at the beautiful home known as Mountain Rock in Kingston, N.Y. The house is set on 5 tranquil acres. The home has been very recently renovated with beautiful fixtures & furnishings. The primary bedroom is very comfortable complete with luxury mattress & bedding as well as room darkening shades that allow late sleepers to enjoy long mornings relaxing in bed. The en-suite bathroom is equipped with a deep soaker tub & a large walk-in glass shower. The Great Room consisting of living room, dining area and well-stocked stylish kitchen has soaring ceilings, wide planked wooden floors & walls of windows. There is also a beautiful stone fireplace, which was out of commission during our stay. With temps in the mid-70's not having the fireplace was not a factor for us. Property manager, Erika was extremely accommodating & answered a slew of our questions and, Thomas was quick to assist with a minor issue. A very tranquil few days & we look forward to our return!
