A space for rest and gathering.
Surrounded by 136 acres of forest and open sky, Mabel’s Rest offers a haven for retreat, residency, and ritual. Rooted in offering a space for helpers and healers to rest through our residencies and dedicated to providing accessible rentals for transformative and nourishing retreat experiences. Encircled by the quiet spaciousness of the mountains, awe inspiring views and an invitation to witness and connect with the rhythms and cycles of nature through ritual. At Mabel’s Rest there is room to move and be still.

Napanoch, NY –
quiet, earthy, and restorative
The name “Napanoch” is believed to come from a Native American word meaning “land of walnuts,” Mabel’s Rest sits on the ancestral land of the Esopus, part of the Lenape people, who moved with these forests, waters, and seasons long before us. We acknowledge their presence here, past and ongoing.
Napanoch sits at the edge of the Shawangunk Mountains in the Hudson Valley, with easy access to the cliffs, waterfalls, and forest trails of Minnewaska State Park Preserve. Nearby Ellenville adds a touch of small-town culture, while scenic drives, farm stands, and vineyards make it an easy base for exploring.
