White Pine Hideout

White Pine Hideout: New York

Mountain getaways don’t get much better than this. Tucked away in the forests of Orange County, New York, this gorgeous two-storey home is perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The property is just 16 miles away from two breath-taking State Parks – Schunnemunk Mountain and Bear Mountain – and with attractions like the Storm King Art Center and Pure Terror Scream Park just ten minutes away by car, it’s safe to say that there’s no shortage of options when it comes to arranging day trips to break up your mountain retreat.

Those that would rather stay put, though, will find plenty to do in this cosy home away from home, whether that’s shooting hoops in the garden or unwinding in front of the log fire with a glass of locally produced wine in one hand and a good book in the other. Downstairs, large windows flood minimalist furniture in natural light, while on the second floor, simply decorated bedrooms are brought to life by panoramic views of the forest. It's the outside that really stands out here, boasting a large back porch – complete with barbecue grill and seating – and a sprawling garden, perfect for playing with little ones or getting your fill of fresh mountain air.


Home truths:
*The barbecue/grill here is only available for use during the summer
*There's a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
*Free parking is available for multiple cars at this property
*The garden here isn't fully fenced, so children will need to be supervised at all times
