About this property

This cottage was featured in the Escape Section of the New York Times. The house is in a great location, six minutes by car to the town of Woodstock, yet it is secluded; this house is a true gem, updated with three lovely bedrooms and one bathroom. The property sits at the bottom of Ohayo Mountain on 2.6 wooded acres with partial mountain views. Close to skiing There is a brand-new hot tub to die for! The renovated 1924 house has a brand-new kitchen with cathedral ceilings and several large skylights. The living room boasts a beautiful large quarry stone fireplace and cherry hardwood floors, with radiant floor heating in the kitchen and bathroom. A lovely cedar deck is at the back of the house. Adjacent to the open kitchen is a large glass-enclosed heated porch with a large dining room table and streaming sunlight—beamed ceilings. The house is beautifully decorated with an Eastern flair for a natural retreat feel. For music lovers, the living room has a piano. There is one cozy queen-sized bed in two bedrooms and a full in the third bedroom. An original children's playhouse sits on the property.

Woodstock is well known for its art and music scene. Restaurants, crafts, hiking, horseback riding, and swimming are nearby. Skate on a nearby lake. Cross-country skiing and swimming at Wilson State Park (5 minutes). Only 25 minutes from skiing at Bellaeyre or 45 minutes from Hunter Mt.

Secluded yet close to town: This property is in a perfect location because it is set back in the woods but only minutes from Woodstock. Hike on the mountain property, then go into town for a latte: Lake and water nearby and a short drive to skiing.

Disappointed weekend getaway

As a person who never writes reviews, I feel this review is necessary to inform other potential guest of our experience, and the host of improvements to make! This cottage was cute and closely resembles the listing! It was close to local attractions and right off a main road! A short ride to hunter mountain ski resort! which was the reason for our stay!The cleanliness of this cottage is the main reason for the negative review! I live in a 1850s farm house and consider myself very blue collar, but this cottage is in need of a major cleaning with general home maintenance required! We experienced excessive amounts of dust on fixtures, floors that haven’t been clean in a while, cob webs hanging in well trafficked areas, door latches lose missing hardware, laundry left in the dryer, and a leaking toilet flange that had waste water on the floor of the only bathroom. The part that was most disappointing, and the main reason for picking this location was the hot tub! Trying to overlook the cleanliness of the home, we went outside to soak after a day on the slopes and found the hot tub to be absolutely DISGUSTING! The water level was down below the jet line, lacking the smell of Chlorine, and full of mold/algae which I deemed unsafe to use! For the money spent we would have had a better, cleaner experience at a local resort. I have sent videos and pictures to Vrbo management, as Iv seen where previous comments were disregarded by host! This could be a great spot with some TLC!

Another Grear Stay

This was our fifth time staying at the cabin and as always it was perfect. We stayed the week of Thanksgiving and cooked a full feast easily with the appliances and cookware found in the kitchen. We even woke up to snow a few times that week. We enjoyed the hot tub at night and the fireplace each day. Beds are comfy, rooms are cozy and location is ideal. With close proximity to Woodstock, Tannersville and West Kill we were able visit some of our favorite places in the mountains. We’ll be back.

Not worth it

The place was filthy. Kitchen tablecloth probably never washed grease on tea kettle, dirt on floor. Coffee grounds on top of machine. Junk in a lot of the drawers. Just a mess! Rustic is one thing, but this was dirty. What’s the sense in paying a cleaning fee if the place isn’t clean

Cute and comfy!

I had a great time staying here! There are so many activities to do around the property and to end our night in a hot tub was amazing each time! The only complaint we had was that there were a few dirty dishes placed in the cabinets. There is not a second bathroom, but there is an outhouse that is not able to be used. The renovated barn is cute but we did not use it. And the beds listed is not completely accurate. The listing says there are 3 queen beds, but there is 2 queen beds and 1 full sized bed. Overall it was a wonderful experience!

Fantastic getaway

First, I never got to meet the owner, but I spoke to her briefly. She is incredibly kind and responsive - and that just set the tone for the rest of the trip. Her home reflects her care and hospitality, going above and beyond to assure comfort and an overall good time. The home itself is gorgeous- the pictures that are posted do not do it justice. My favorite part of any vacation is having time to sit and read - and her sitting room is the ideal place to do so. We also had our dogs with us, and this is the perfect pet friendly home and property. Thank you for everything and we already look forward to coming back!!

Great location, cozy cottage

This cottage is close to everything the area has to offer, and the owner was very responsive and friendly. The only thing that would have made it better would be a cleaner house. Many of the pots and silverware was dirty, and the house felt cluttered.

Quick ski get away

Diane was great about communication. The listing still indicated in multiple places that there was a hot tub. She did call us right away when we booked to tell us there was no longer a hot tub. I did see that a few weeks later there is still no change to the listing- so be warned. There is NO hot tub. The house is cute and was perfect for a weekend away to ski at Bellayre. Very close and easy to get to Woodstock. We would stay here again.

Owner Very Attentive

The cottage is super quant and my family had a lot of fun on our stay. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the people staying before us did not take care of the property as they should have, and the cleaning person (newly hired) did not do their job. Despite this, Diana was very responsive and reasonably tried to right all the issues we had. Thank you again to Diana for letting us stay at your property!

Nice, cozy inside. Outside less than advertised.

I first want to say I’m appreciative the owner and her sister last minute changed their plans and made the house available to me as I had a last minute cancellation from another owner before our trip. The inside of this place is nice and cozy as advertised. The “sunroom” for lack of better term has great views and offers great breezes. I could see the fireplace being amazing in the winter. The backyard however has definitely been neglected since the posted pictures were taken. The “new cedar deck” is not new at all and has not been maintained. Similarly practically all the outdoor furniture is also unmaintained and dirty. The landscaping also falls into this category. The only real reason to hang out outside is the hot tub, which also has some maintainence problems. This may not be a big deal for some people but our plan was to spend 90% of our waking hours outside and the posted pictures made it look like a paradise so it was disappointing. This would be a perfect winter house as you would only be outside for the hot tub anyway.

Excellent location

The location of this property is excellent for exploring the Catskills. The house is charming and comfortable, but there is only one bathroom, and the refrigerator is tiny. We really enjoyed the sun room. We did lose our security deposit because we were told we left a heat mark on the table. I did not realize that had happened - we were very careful.

Why they chose this property

I looked for ten years for this perfect spot before buying. Its perfect location from town and ski slopes could not be better.Its so cozy and secluded yet six minutes from town. Wonderful Indian art work carefully designed by yours truly. Is one of the last original Woodstock cottages. And most of all, great vibes!

What makes this property unique

One of Woodstock's last original blue stone fireplace made from Woodstock quarry blue stone.. Special kids playhouse that faces house. Piano. Children' s playhouse on property.
