My family loved our short stay at the Gunks Cottage. The place is clean, welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed all it had to offer from the patio seating, grill, hot tub and pool. Highly recommend hiking the Gertrude's Nose and Millbrook Mountain trails in beautiful Minnewaska State Park and having dinner at Rough Cut Brewing Co.
