Village Center: Gracious + Spacious Retreat "Above the Books"

My fiancé and I stayed at Above the Books 3/29/18 - 4/1/18. This was our second time staying there. We love how spacious, clean, and comfortable everything is. The apartment is really private. It is located above the best books/metaphysical/gift shop (with a lovely little meditation spiritual seminar/workshop space) in Woodstock. Because the store is closed at night, there isn’t any concern of disturbing anybody below when you are enjoying your time in the apartment at night. The shop opens around 11am, so you can hear voices throughout the day - but that’s not a big deal for us since we are usually out and about all day long. We are both very private people and typically prefer a private house/cabin/cottage in the woods - but Above the Books gives us that private feeling, right in the heart of town. We can walk everywhere in town and all our other favorite spots in the surrounding area are just a short drive away. We have stayed at about a dozen different rentals in the Woodstock area and this little gem has become our favorite one! It is our preferred Woodstock vacation rental from now on. Jeff and Audrey are incredibly gracious and very attentive/responsive hosts - they will bend over backwards to make sure you are comfortable and that you have everything you need! Thank you Jeff and Audrey for another wonderful stay! We look forward to seeing you again this Autumn! Cheri & Aaron (Baltimore, MD)

Tidy apartment, exact center of village, would stay again.

This is the third time that my family and I have stayed in this apartment. We love it. The apartment is spacious and has a wonderful peaceful feeling. It has everything that we need ready for us when we walk in the door. The master bedroom has a meditation nook and access to the balcony. It is a great green space in the summer and a wonderful winter view. the second bedroom has windows overlooking the balcony and great black out shades for privacy. The bathroom is large and well stocked, and I love that there is a stacked washer and dryer. The kitchen always has coffee and every items I ever look for. The other feature that we love about this place is the location! Maria's is two steps from the door and Bread alone is right across the street. When we don't feel like cooking, there is plenty of good food to feed us. Jeff and Audrey (and everyone at Mirabai) are welcoming and make everything easy. This is our go to place when staying in Woodstock.

My friend and I booked this apartment a week before New Year's. We felt lucky to have discovered Audrey and Jeff's place. The warmth and kindness from the hosts was lovely, the location was ideal and the apartment itself was spacious, private, comfortable and clean . Audrey and Jeff are generous and seemed to anticipate our needs before we knew we had them! If you're looking for a place in the heart of the Woodstock town, walk-able to everything, this is the place for you. Thank you, Audrey and Jeff!

If you’re going to Woodstock meditative getaway, look no further. This place even has a meditation room. 🧘�‍♂️ The apartment was centrally located in the heart of Woodstock and within walking distance of pretty much very thing there. The owners thought of everything to ensure our comfort: everything from an audio/video and book library to some bottled water and organic chocolate to greet us. I highly recommend this place and would stay there again.
