Writer's picture: MIMI & HILLMIMI & HILL


We are thrilled to share that our Stone Ridge, NY, NevelHaus project has been featured in House Beautiful (read here)! This home holds a special place in our hearts as it’s the personal retreat of MIMI & HILL’s co-founder, Hillary Kaplan. Designed with intention and family at its core, this Hudson Valley getaway is a perfect blend of functionality, style, and warmth.


A Vision for Connection and Comfort

When designer Hillary Kaplan decided to transform a spec house in Stone Ridge, New York, into a mountain retreat for her family and friends, her goals were clear: personalize the space and ensure it could host as many loved ones as possible. The result? A five-bedroom, five-bathroom home that comfortably sleeps 18—plus more with blow-up mattresses—thanks to thoughtfully designed nooks and multi-functional spaces.

“We created a lot of nooks in the house that allow for extra sleeping areas,” Kaplan shares. “This house was built to bring family and friends together.”


A Hudson Valley Dream

Kaplan’s love for the Hudson Valley began during a couples trip with her business partner, Miriam Silver Verga. With its vibrant arts scene, vintage shops, and four seasons of outdoor activities, the region became the perfect backdrop for a home built for two intertwined families.


“The house was honestly built for everyone in our two families,” Kaplan explains. The families even share a group text named “Kaplerga”—a testament to the deep bond between them.


Thoughtful Design Details

Kaplan collaborated with developer NevelHaus and INC Architecture & Design to customize the home’s floor plan and create a space perfect for family bonding. The main floor was reimagined by flipping the proposed dining and living rooms, allowing space for a Samsung Frame TV and a wood-burning stove, where cozy family moments take place.

The 4,400-square-foot home also received a lighting overhaul. Kaplan added recessed lighting, sconces, and pendants to create a layered, inviting atmosphere. “This layering approach added warmth and character, transforming the space from a typical new build into a cozy retreat,” Kaplan explains.


Why This Project Matters

At MIMI & HILL, our mission is to design spaces that inspire and connect. The Stone Ridge NevelHaus is a true reflection of that ethos—a home designed not just for living, but for creating lasting memories with loved ones.
