About Owner
Hi. Our names are Jeff Cuiule and Audrey Cusson. In 2000, we left our lives and careers in NYC to purchase legendary Mirabai Books in Woodstock, NY -- a shop dedicated to Personal Growth, Eastern Philosophy, Metaphysics and Healing, an oasis of spiritual solace for more than 30 years.
Owner purchased this Apartment in 2007
Why Owner chose Woodstock
A few years ago we transformed the space above the shop (our initial home here) into a vacation retreat that we call "Above the Books". It's our hope that the space reflects the serenity and lush beauty that we've created in the store below. Woodstock is unique among small towns in its dedication to the arts, alternative thought, natural beauty and spiritual fulfillment.
What makes this Apartment unique
Above the Books offers a rare chance to experience the soul of Woodstock. Located above the 30 year Mirabai Bookstore, the property is a tranquil, lushly furnished retreat, conveniently located in the heart of town. Your time here will be both relaxing and magical - a seeker's dream. There's a fully equipped kitchen, meditation space, outdoor deck and tons of books, CDs and DVDs for your enjoyment and relaxation. Woodstock's many shops, galleries and eateries are literally steps from your door. If that's not enough, come down to browse our shop's shelves and enjoy a 10% discount on any books or merchandise that you purchase.

A Brief Stay
Above the Books is a lovely haven that in the middle of 'downtown' Woodstock. Bread Alone is directly across the street, Candlestock is a few doors down, and the newly renovated Sunflower Market is a few blocks away. With that said, if you're a light sleeper or someone who needs absolute silence to fall asleep, bring earplugs. But the best part is the 10% discount at Mirabai Books! As I told Jeff, I would stay there again.
Great Rental
Excellent apartment in the heart of Woodstock. We walked to everything. Great experience
Wonderful
Jeff & Audrey have the most charming place in the perfect location. Communication was wonderful. Would definitely go back!
Grownup groovy
Really neat apartment. Great location and very well appointed.
Right in the middle of EVERYTHING!
This was our second trip to Woodstock. We did not get to enjoy the interesting little stores on the Main Street due to the difficulty with parking and time restraints. We wanted to go back just to enjoy what we missed out on and boy did we pick a GREAT place! We can’t say enough about the location, hospitality and of course the Book shop we spent hours in shopping. If you want to visit stay “OVER THE BOOK STORE” that’s the BEST WAY -
