Fall Treetop Escape | Minerals, Orchards, Hiking, Mountain Creek, Wildlife

Welcome to The Canopy at MacKenzie Lane — your updated, nature-inspired 4 bedroom, 2 bath condo located in Vernon, NJ just 60 miles from NYC.

This newly renovated end-unit condo is tucked into the treetops and just minutes from multiple orchards, hiking, Mountain Creek Resort, Minerals Hotel & Spa, Crystal Springs, and the farm-to-table charm of Warwick, NY. Whether you're here for a ski weekend, family visit, wedding, or wellness retreat, this peaceful, light-filled space offers the comfort of home with a boutique-style experience.

Originally designed for our own family stays, every detail reflects quality, warmth, and intention—from the furnishings to the finishes. The property is surrounded by nature, with views into the canopy and frequent sightings of local wildlife like deer, fox, and even bears (currently momma and 3 cubs), all from the comfort of the private balcony and private patio. Watch the leaves change from the comfort of the couch while immersed in the treetops.
