About this property

Charming Woodstock Teahouse Cottage by the Sawkill Creek trout stream

..........The Teahouse Cottage is on an estate that was the home of Woodstock artist Judson Smith. He used the Teahouse for one of his studios in the 1940's and 1950's. Later, his daughters converted it to a guest cottage. The drops of paint on the floor from Smith's work more than half a century ago are preserved in the restored hardwood floor.
Click the 'More Details' link to see the full description.
.............This petite cottage overlooks a lovely trout stream and faces the river and a 75 acre park with 2 mile walking trail just on the other side of the river that goes upstream and loops back through the forest to the edge of the property. When the river is low, you can hop across rocks to reach the trail on the other side. If the river is high, you can access the trail head by going into town, behind the outdoor Shakespeare stage next to the Woodstock town offices.
............You don’t need a car to come to this Woodstock paradise!  From NewYork City, there is a bus to Woodstock.  The bus stop is about a half mile from the Teahouse, a 10 minute walk. There's a food market 2 blocks from the bus stop if you need supplies. 
..........Originally built in the 1870's as a small barn on the estate. This 1870's vintage antique post and beam barn has been fully renovated, while preserving it's original charm - new bath, new kitchen, restored antique hardwood floors, queen size pillow top mattress in the sleeping loft. The sleeping loft is accessed by a ladder. On the ground floor there is a full size Murphy bed.
...............It may say "no pets" somewhere in this description, however, your dog is welcome here.
.............. Update Now there is a fireplace by the stream for the use of guests of theTeahouse Cottage. We leave a maul [splitting ax] hanging on a tree next to the fireplace, and there's a chopping block. Recently, we purchased a "Kindling Cracker,' that makes splitting firewood easier. On the upstream [westerly] edge of the estate is a supply of seasoned firewood - we provide that for no charge.. We include a 'Campfire Primer' and a description of the "Kindling Cracker" in our attachments in case you don't have experience with them.
..............There is wifi and a Smart" TV. While the Teashouse is small, it can sleep 4.
..............Check in time 3:00 PM, check out time 11 AM. Early check in is an option if the Teahouse is not booked the night before your arrival.
The taxes are included in the rate.

Quiet retreat
Beautiful nature at the foot of a quiet retreat cottage, a mile away from the Woodstock strip and Comeau park and 4 miles from the Ashoka rail trail was an ideal access to peace and fun. I would definitely return and I appreciated the owners flexibility, great communication, and allowance for pets.

This is our 'dream property' which we found in 2002. We weren't looking for a home, but my wife Chloe happened to see the estate the first day it was on the market and called me from the property to come see it. We immediately put in a full price offer, only to be told later that there was another higher offer. We then raised our offer by $80,000. but they sold it to the other buyer anyway for $50K less than our offer. We called the buyer's lawyer and told him to tell the buyer we would pay his price if he were willing to sell. A few months later he called us and offered it for $115,000. more than he'd paid. We were ecstatic. With four post and beam barns circa 1870 three of which had been converted to residences in the 1940's by a local artist of some repute [Judson Smith], fruit trees, a trout stream running though, adjacent to a 77 acre park, and walking distance from the village of Woodstock, there is no other property in the world we can imagine more desirable to us. There was lots of work to do. Now with a decade of work and $250K in renovations, we have it ship shape.
