The Onyx at High Falls | Haus in Cottekill

Welcome to The Onyx – a luxurious, design-forward retreat tucked into the heart of the Hudson Valley.
Whether you’re gathering with family or escaping with friends, The Onyx offers a seamless blend of indoor comfort and outdoor indulgence. Set on a private, wooded lot, this spacious home features an open-plan layout with a chef’s kitchen, stylish living areas, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace—all with serene views of the show-stopping pool and surrounding greenery.
Outdoors, the experience is just as curated. Lounge on sun-drenched decks, unwind in the year-round hot tub, or take a dip in the striking pool (open July through September). The real jewel? A stunning, fully-outfitted pool cabana—complete with air conditioning, a chic lounge, full bathroom, and a convenient kitchenette. It’s your perfect spot for morning coffee, shaded naps, or sunset cocktails.
Surrounded by lush forest and just minutes from the region’s most charming towns, The Onyx feels worlds away—but keeps you close to all the best of the Hudson Valley.
As with all Upstate Place properties, little ones are welcomed with thoughtful touches, including a crib, highchair, and baby bath. And your furry companions are VIPs too, with beds, bowls, and more provided.
Ideal for families, couples, or groups with a love of elevated design, The Onyx is more than a getaway—it’s a state of mind.

PLEASE NOTE -
Cancellation and Insurance: We encourage all our guests to purchase travel insurance, whether through the OTA when offered at the time of booking, or through a third party. We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy.
Rental Agreement: Please know that we require all guests to sign a rental lease agreement.
Utility Outages: As Upstate New York can see its’ fair share of inclement weather and is primarily a tree rich area with overhead power lines, please know we do not assume responsibility for utility outages during your stay. If electric, water or Wi-Fi service is impacted, we do not refund. Of course, if an outage were to persists for longer than 8 hours we would allow a cancellation without penalty.
Weather: During the winter months, there may be ice, snow, and hazardous conditions. We recommend driving a vehicle with AWD or 4WD. Please ask about the plowing schedule for the house. Most driveways are plowed at or after 3” of accumulation.
Animals and Pests: The house is in a rural environment and surrounded by countryside, farms and wildlife. Although it’s wonderful to observe the eagles, deer, bears, and adorable chipmunks, it can also mean you will hear coyotes and foxes at night, and encounter the less cute mice, flies, snakes, ants, bees and ticks. There is very little to be done about it, but by keeping doors closed or screened and food in its appropriate storage, unwelcome guests will stay outside where they belong. All our properties benefit from scheduled pest control, but we are in a natural environment and we can not fortify the houses completely.
Pets: This property only allows dogs.
Cleaning Guarantee: We are very proud of our housekeeping team who go beyond both Airbnbs General Cleaning Guidelines and Airbnb’s Enhanced Cleaning Process recommendations. Because of their hard work and high professional standards, we are able to guarantee our cleaning to our guests. We take time stamped video and photos of the cleaned property and do not refund for any small issues found during a stay. Should a guest feel that something is amiss or needs additional attention, we will have a housekeeper attend the home to take care of it within 12 hours of an issue being
Additional Fees: Depending on their requirements, guests will be subject to the following additional fees
Pool Heat - $75 per day or $450 per week
Dog Fees - $100 per pet
