Why the Owner Chose Woodstock
Guest Book...
Dear Ben and Erica: Thank you for sharing your magnificent mountain getaway with us, six young professionals on holiday from the hustle bustle of NYC. Upon our arrival, we built a roaring fire which warmed our bodies and our spirits. We spent two lovely days exploring the lovely Catskills. On day one, some of us enjoyed the powder of Hunter Mountain. Day two brought our group to the four-star Emerson Spa where we relaxed with sensual massages and soaks in the outdoor hot tub. You have a warm home, and we would recommend it to anyone needing to get away. Thank you! From, Ben, Elizabeth, Jen, Nathan, Sarah, Shannon
What a comfortable house in such beautiful surroundings. We especially delighted in the surrounding brook and fire pit. It's rare to find a cabin with so many little luxuries combined with rustic simplicity. We took a pretty walk on the reservoir path and had a tasty pizza at a restaurant down the road (Merlina's?). We saw hummingbirds last night in the backyard! Thanks for a lovely time!! -- L & N Families
Dear Ben & Erica: Thank you so much! We wanted a getaway to a quiet place with snow to celebrate New Year in a peaceful home. This is more than we could imagine. Everything was perfect! This was the first time my son saw snow, he loved it! We even saw a bunch of footprints in the backyard! It was so cozy here! The simple, yet treasured, smell of firewood in the woodstove, made everything seem like a dream come true. Thank you for making this New Year one of the best we had! -- The L. Family
Owner's Map of Woodstock
As a couple who lives day-to-day in NYC, we love to use this house ourselves and so we've taken great care to ensure it has everything that we want when we're there. We like using real, non-rental dishes with high-end pots and pans. We like using wireless internet connections that actually work, wireless iTunes connections to the stereo plus an iPod port, the ability to fax when necessary, the ability to turn on an alarm system, using a wine fridge, playing basketball out front, watching fire in the pits out back or in the fireplace inside, using a massive Weber BBQ grill and dimmer switches everywhere. We're also insane about keeping things CLEAN. :-) With all that we just decompress. Watch the deer or the hawks or the hummingbirds. Or just read a book while listening to the streams babbling by on either side of the property. Regardless, just love our place as much as we do and don't hesitate to call with questions while you're there.

Ben was the most gracious host we could imagine and the house and property are simply wonderful. We have a dog who was in heaven every time we took him outside and the yard even has a small fenced in area which is a rare find in the country and a bonus when you have a husky who can't be trusted off leash! The property has 2 small creeks running through it and feels very private and tucked away. It was also great for cooking and entertaining (nice kitchen, huge dining room). We'll definitely be back!

My husband and I took my parents who were visiting from Australia here for a weekend of relief from the city. It was beyond what we needed. So lush, and clean, and private. The house is cosy & really quaint. All of the attention to detail really brings the house to life. We stayed in and cooked (incredibly equipped kitchen) and explored the area during the day. The little bridge over the stream is such a nice touch. Went for a long walk, and explored woodstock too. But it felt so so wonderful to come back to this house! The property is really a gem!!!!! We will be coming back and it was truly one of the buggest highlights of my parents trip.

We had a lovely time and you have quite the place. We really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and just kicking back and sitting on the platform in the backyard. You should advertise the platform! Such a nice view sitting on there... We managed to find the "blue hole" waterway to swim in, and also found our way to the Hanes Falls where we hiked down to the water and swam all day. Didn't make it to the hike you suggested, but definitely want to check that out next time! Hope you are having a nice beginning to the summer and thanks again for letting us stay at your great place! Had such a wonderful time, and hope to stay there again! Thanks, Claire

This was our second stay. We're so glad our friends recommended this lovely mountain home to us. We enjoyed the huge yard which was great for throwing around a football or baseball! Evenings were perfect making smores at the bonfire pit. The house is clean and in great condition. And the owners are responsive and a joy to deal with. Highly recommended!

My sister recommended this place and it was great! The kids were thrilled to find a fun sledding hill right outside the front door and were in hog heaven. I wanted to show my wife how it was in the old days so I lit a fire in the fireplace. It really provides a lot of heat and there's a ton of dry wood in a woodshed ten feet from the house. We were pleased to find plenty of condiments and tableware as well as a fully appointed kitchen. It was clear at night that weekend and the stars were incredible. To top it all off, it was QUIET. Thank you for all the great games in the cabinet, too. And the kids also loved seeing deer right behind the house. Saturday morning we drove into Phoenicia and had breakfast at Sweet Sues (thanks for the recommendation; it was wonderful). Took the kids on a nature walk in the woods behind the house, too. Didn't see any more deer, although we did find more tracks. We had a great time.

Fun Getaway - Great For Families

We had a great time staying at the cabin - the kids loved sledding down the large hill on the property and it was easy to watch them from the cabin. It snowed just a couple of nights but the cabin was always very comfortable. The woodstove/fireplace does a great job keeping the cabin warm, and its just fun to have a fire going when its cold and snowy outside. Kitchen is top notch and easy to navigate - overall we had a blast staying here - I highly recommend it.

Great location for the family to be in the outdoors and cozy enough to light a fire and roast chest nuts. Bring a bottle of wine and relax. This is an ideal place if you want to get away from the city. It's also cool to see a ton of different wildlife. Can't go wrong... we've been to this house multiple times. It's the total package.

My wife and I rented this home last summer and invited my parents and sister to join us. The house is very cozy and we had a great time cooking in the kitchen (it's fully stocked with pots, pans, spices) and relaxing in the home. The second and third bedrooms are somewhat small, but we all felt very comfortable nonetheless. It was our first time in the Catskills and we found the location to be really convenient - near the towns of Phoenicia, Woodstock and Saugherties. I definitely think we'll return. It was such a nice escape from the fast pace of New York City.

We absolutely loved this little hidden gem of a cabin right outside woodstock. The house is cozy and well appointed. The property is private and there is lots of room for kids to explore in the yard. And the woodburning stove in the living room is a real bonus on a freezing cold night. It was a great place to hide away from the city for a long weekend. Owners are also extremely helpful in orienting you to the area and we had a great time exploring Woodstock and Wyndham ski resort.
