Space Age Styling
This domed home set deeply in an upstate forest is truly one of a kind. The darling of design publications such as Architectural Digest, House Beautiful and The New York Times, this cabin for rent in New York is both remarkable and pastoral, a place where rabbits, deer and wild turkey run circles around a wooded, 28-acre lot, and wide glass panels rise up the dome’s wood-slatted curves, letting the vivid sunlight and twinkling moon- and starlight bathe the space in energizing good vibes.
The interior of this unique, spaceship-inspired dome home is surprisingly soaring and soothing. Outside, wood shingles and a deck appear almost cozy and cabin-like, but inside, the home’s look is 100 percent clean and contemporary. Spectacular walls of light wood curve ever upwards, interrupted by rows of cathedral-like windows. Built to rotate on a remote system, the home’s stationary position is remarkable without any spin.
At the dome’s heart, a cluster of support beams stretch to the dome’s center point and the living spaces radiate around them. There’s a curving kitchen island with seating and adjacent dining area. A living room fills one arc, offering bright, comfortable furnishings, rugs and artworks. A primary bedroom and bath suite fills another arc on the home’s lower floor, and a curvy, open air staircase winds its way to the second level, a loft-like space housing two bedrooms, plus a library, office and additional bath.
This cabin for rent in New York is located on a wooded, wildlife-filled acreage with dozens of private hiking trails, and a 40-foot cedar deck wraps around the home’s periphery. A stream with a waterfall burbles nearby and pastures of wildflowers and native grasses offset the forest. A hot tub sits under its own dome tent at the edge of the woods, a short walk from the home, and an organic veggie garden is available for harvesting.
AROUND
The town of New Paltz is a quick drive from the home, and New York City is about 90 minutes away. This is a home for nature lovers, secluded on an acreage zigzagged with gentle hiking trails, tall woods, and abundant wildlife, and a stream. Restaurants, shops, cafes, and services are available in nearby New Paltz, and fair weather outdoor adventures include rock climbing, fishing, wading, hiking and bird- and wildlife watching, and ice-skating and snowshoeing in wintertime.
