​​

Groundworks offers a serene retreat nestled on 35 acres, boasting breathtaking views of the Shawangunk Ridge. This haven is designed for relaxation, focus, and creativity, providing a medley of activities to engage with the natural beauty of the surroundings. Guests can meander along walking trails, indulge in a peaceful meditation walk, unwind in gazebos, or luxuriate in hammocks with a book. The property features several spots to savor the sunset, including a deck, and multiple fire pits for nocturnal relaxation and stargazing.

The centerpiece is a renovated net-zero studio, formerly a garage, now a radiant 1200 sq. ft hall with a responsive sprung wood dance floor. It includes a fully equipped kitchen and one and a half bathrooms. The main residence, where hosts Kristen and Frank live, is a welcoming farmhouse with five bedrooms. It's a space shared with guests, offering home-cooked meals in a large kitchen, dining room, and a living room with a large fireplace. The comforts extend outdoors with a spacious deck, a fire pit, a hot tub and sauna!

An apartment perched above the stables provides stunning ridge views, accommodating 4-6 people with two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a kitchenette. Dining at Groundworks is a culinary delight with health-conscious, vegetable-centric dishes prepared from the freshest local produce, including organic garden offerings and eggs from the property's free-range chickens.
