About this property

for the creative spirit, swimming dock on pond, horses to pet, Fire pit

For the creative spirit or one that appreciates artistic expression.
A healing space.

An artist dream loft is filled with light and shapes, color and patterns, -overlooking a beautiful pond with a waterfall.
The loft is a large open space with high ceilings, wood floors. A perfect space to explore, dance, yoga or just enjoy the open flow of light reflected from the pond below on my fabric sculptures. It is a very uplifting space and filled with good energy.
Facing east there is a large window wall for the morning sunrise and in the west, for the sunset, 3 sets of French doors and 2 windows. The 3 French doors open to a wraparound deck with lounge chair and teak dinning table, chairs and gas grill, overlooking a beautiful pond with a waterfall. There are benches and swings on the land to sit, and a fire pit to enjoy fires at night, seating close to the pond and a bridge over s small stream. The pond is swimmable and we just installed a new floating dock to swim to. We only use solar energy.
There are 2 tables to create, draw, sculpt or write. The house has Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating.
You will find yoga mats and pillows for meditation and many blankets in one of the closets.
There is no TV, only nature channel.
The kitchen has a regular size refrigerator and stove.
There are 2 queen size beds, one directly in the open space with headboard and one accessible with a ladder as a loft bed above the bathroom. It’s a tight space. There is a futon sofa that can be used for sleeping, one person and i keep an inflatable bed in the closed. You have to be skilled on ladders to feel comfortable. The bathroom has a large shower.
Most of the cleaning supplies are environmentally friendly, the soaps organic and I left you some treats here and there.
There is coffee maker, toaster, espresso maker, mixer, all you could need for dishes or cookware, the cookware is stainless steel, I tried to think of everything to make your stay meaningful and comfortable and if I forgot something please let me know!
The mattresses and linens are super comfortable.
The electricity is all solar.
The artist dream loft is part of 3 buildings on 30 acres of land with 2 ponds, you can hike through the forest to a totally secluded second pond with a dock for swimming access. This pond has an island. The land is beautiful. I am a beekeeper and so there will be honeybees and part of my family 2 horses, Jest and jewel and a husky, called Zula
There is a small orchard in front of the studio with fruit trees.
You can park in front of the house. You are just between New Paltz and Kingston, a very central location not far from Woodstock or Rhinebeck.
Hiking, swimming, playing and resting, or just being,
creating a new project, or healing from a crazy life, it's a good space for all of it.

I make my own remedies from plants in my garden, I have put some of them in the loft for you, my hope is that you take advantage of the healing potential that the space has to offer.
I live in one of the 3 buildings the first one, painted orange, the second building is a green barn that a friend of me lives in, the third one is the dream loft. The loft is about 1300 square feet in size.

Unique hideaway
Our family of 4 (from UK) loved staying in this unique open plan studio. It was the perfect antidote to a hectic 4 days in New York City. The setting is remarkably peaceful with no road noise and is surrounded by beautiful woods incorporating two freshwater ponds to swim in, both with pontoons to leap off. The owner Gisela was a great host, offering lots of local advice. We loved the large balcony, BBQ and outlying hammocks, and put the yoga mats to use too. The local town of New Paltz offers a load of different places to eat if you wanted an alternative to cooking yourself.

So spacious, inspiring, and amazing!
The house was so beautiful both inside and outside. It has a definite artist's touch and was very clean and well kept. It was surrounded by beautiful woods and was very close to New Paltz, Woodstock, and other great towns. The bed was comfy, temperature was well maintained, the kitchen was immaculate, it was all around amazing! We definitely will be back!

Beautiful place
We had a wonderful stay at the loft house. It was cozy inside and the grounds were wonderful. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck overlooking the pond. Our dog enjoyed frolicking in the woods. The host was very friendly and responsive.

Quiet getaway
Unique and tranquil artist’s loft with a lovely pond on the property! Gisela has 2 beautiful horses which were a pleasure to see. Loft was clean, comfortable and had all essentials. Kids enjoyed the views of the pond and paddling around too. Location was nice with nearby restaurants and attractions, including Vanderbilt Mansion.

Great Getaway!
We enjoyed our stay at the Loft, which is beautifully decorated and in a very relaxing environment. We loved meeting the horses and letting our dogs swim in the lake. Gisela was very accommodating and responsive!

Host profile image
i am an artist and healer, you can see my art on the photos sculptures out of fabric and clay, painting and anything else.
i have been studying and teaching many healing modalities.

Why they chose this property

This property is very unique, i put my heart into it, it is my kind of a world. The space is very creative and healing, the land around the house is beautiful and i have worked a lot with sacred geometry and crystals to restore balance and natural beauty, you will feel it.
the animals are very kind and come up to the house, there is an atmosphere of love and care.

What makes this property unique

i love that the light from the pond reflects on the ceiling of the space, the sun setting sitting outside on the deck drinking tea, dancing on the large wood floor and feeling i am here.
it is special for me to share this place with you. there is a secret passage through the forest
and if you go the right way you end up at another pond with an island totally somewhere else, still and quiet you can walk onto a deck and jump in.
