Dream House in The Gunks

🌅 Sunset Miles on Millbrook Ridge
A golden run across the ridge — the sun setting low, birds soaring overhead, and trails that feel alive. This view came while training for next week’s Devils Path challenge, but honestly… moments like this are reason enough to run.

The Gunks are full of these gifts: rugged climbs, endless skies, and quiet reminders that the journey matters as much as the summit.

📍 Stay. Explore. Repeat.

🚁 Flying over Sky Top Tower at Sunset
Built in 1923, Sky Top Tower crowns the Shawangunk Ridge with 360° views of the Hudson Valley, Catskills, and beyond. In summer, the sunsets here turn the whole landscape gold.

This time, we captured it from the air — and it’s just as magical as the climb. If you’re curious about the most adventurous way up, check out our earlier post on the Lemon Squeeze hike for the full journey.

The Gunks are calling — and after a day exploring, our Dream House in the Gunks Airbnbs are ready to welcome you.

📍 Stay. Explore. Repeat.

This is the beauty you will drive through while on the way to our properties in the Gunks. Dont forget to stop by and check the Scenic overlook near East Trapps Trailhead (on the picture) and experience the feeling of awe for this life and being part of it.

So lucky to be able to catch Duck pond at twilight yesterday. Duck pond is part of Mohonk Preserve. The best way to get there is by parking at a new Mohonk Preserve Testimonial Gateway parking spot. Its about 2 miles hike one way. Still AWESOME fall colors. 🍁
