4BDR Heritage Estate w/ Pool, Private Pond, Fire Pit | Cortland by AvantStay
Welcome to Cortland, an AvantStay home!
Stunning at any time of year, this 4-bedroom country home invites you to spend your days in leisure and surrounded by stunning landscapes. Rustic, yet elevated, each room features New England style’s signature neutral and pastel shades, wooden flooring, and bright open spaces. Swim laps in the pool by day and roast s’mores around the fire pit by night. Wherever you are, make sure to look up and admire the colorful trees and dramatic skies that makes this place so special.
Comprised of quaint towns, each with their own charming main street, upstate New York’s Hudson Valley is famed for its natural beauty and seasonal produce. After all, it was here that inspired an entire artistic movement of Romantic painters who captured the area’s rolling hills, colorful foliage, and pastoral setting. View the landscapes in person by hiking the Catskill Mountains. Then, visit local farms where there’s a lot to pick: apples in the fall, strawberries in the summer, and vegetables in between.
Experience Hudson Valley, AvantStay style.

Home was very clean…comfortable setting…unfortunately due to weather we did not utilize the outdoor amenities but they looked awesome! There were five of us (all sisters) with no complaint about roominess…an added plus was the home was near restaurants and shopping…we would definitely recommend this home.

Thank you, Tracy! We're so glad the property was a good fit for your family during such a special occasion. Congratulations to your daughter, and we’d love to host you again in the future!
Everything was clean and orderly when we arrived and our stay was pleasant. The house was well stocked for cooking and there were e even towels put out for our pups. The only drawback was a steeply pitched driveway where you have to be cautious pulling out onto a fairly busy road. The property is beautiful and would be a great place to gather in warmer weather. The house is perfectly comfortable and suited our needs well.

Everything was great! The house is beautiful and the property was picturesque. Perfect place to stay for fall. The only fault was the steep driveway into a busy road. Near enough to shops and stores and the thruway. Loved our time here!

It sounds like a perfect getaway with your friends, and we’re thrilled you made such special memories. We’d love to host you again!
We had a wonderful stay at our rental home in Saugerties. The house had everything we needed—including plenty of A/C units, which were a lifesaver during these hot summer days. The property itself was beautiful. We especially loved relaxing by the pool and watching the blue heron that visited the pond several times.The location was ideal: close to local attractions, charming Hudson Valley towns, and great hiking spots like Kaaterskill Falls. Just a five-minute drive to the supermarket, Starbucks, and CVS, which made things super convenient.A big shoutout to the AvantStay team—they were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely stay here again!

The house is incredible. You will take moments that you will remember for a lifetime. Every part has beautiful details. Be sure to walk the forest behind the lake. It is beautiful. with many wishes to return soon

Blue Heron regularly Visiting Adjacent Pond !
We loved the pool especially - entertaining for the entire family ranging from age 7 months to 72 years. A beautiful blue heron flew overhead often enjoying the adjacent small pond. The house included most all of what we needed though the first floor bedroom was much too small for anything but the bed.

Thank you for your feedback, Debra! I'm glad to hear that your family enjoyed the pool and that it was entertaining for all ages. It sounds like the blue heron added a lovely touch to your stay! I appreciate your note about the first-floor bedroom size—we’ll consider that for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for another family gathering!
My husband and I had a great stay at this charming house. The place was extremely clean, and the bedding and towels were so soft and comfy!
I will say that the road it was on was a bit busier than we expected so if you are looking for somewhere truly secluded this might not be a perfect fit. But we had a great time and really appreciated some of the thoughtful touches (a basket of older towels we could use with our dog, for example). Those are extremely minor things, though and we had a lovely stay.

We had a lovely stay for our family of 5 during the week before xmas. The home was well appointed, with all the normal needs we have to cook, etc... The house was very quiet despite 5 of us being there. Everyone had their own space. Very cozy. Loved that there were games to play, we had a great family round of monopoly!The property manager was so responsive. We felt very supported and attended to. Despite the cold weather the house stayed plenty warm as well!We highly recommend this home and would love to return if our plans take us back to the Hudson Valley!

Place is really nice however upstairs bathroom is really difficult to use as a shower. 7 of us in the house and most of us used the bathroom downstairs since upstairs is claw tub with handheld shower without anywhere to hang while showering. . Rooms look bigger in listing then they are. We were also visited by a family of bears one night .. mom and 3 cubs. We enjoyed our stay

6 adults stayed here for my moms 70th birthday. We do a lot of cooking the open downstairs floor plan was perfect. While someone was cooking could still be part of the conversations. The kitchen had everything we needed to make wonderful meals, even was able to grill steaks one night when the weather held up. The screened in porch by the pond was relaxing. At the pond we saw a beaver, heron, and even some deer. The hosts were quick to respond when we reached out. We went into Hudson and Woodstock. We hiked Kaaterskill Falls. Also We went to Phoenicia Dinner for a brunch. Had a beautiful birthday dinner at Stissing House. Such a lovely location with so much to do near by.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful review, Kaleigh. We're so glad the open floor plan and well-equipped kitchen made it easy to create memorable birthday meals together. It sounds like you had a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, from spotting wildlife by the pond to exploring the charming nearby towns. We’d love to welcome you back for more special moments in the future.
We had a great stay at this house. The pool was a good size with a deep end. It was really nice to have a pond behind the house. There were several comfortable beds but the trundle was very uncomfortable. The multiple decks were nice. The shampoo and conditioner provided were very nice. Kitchen was lovely and spacious. The house had a little more wear and tear than was evident from the pictures. There was no hammock but there is a picture of one in the listing. The immediate area wasn’t very walkable. But we very much enjoyed the house and pool, decks and yard and short drives to Woodstock and Saugerties.

Thank you, Nadja! We’re glad to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the pool, pond, and spacious kitchen. It’s great that you found the beds comfortable overall, though we appreciate your feedback about the trundle and the wear and tear. We’ll also look into the hammock mentioned in the listing. While the area isn’t very walkable, we’re happy you enjoyed the short drives to Woodstock and Saugerties. We’d love to welcome you back in the future!
This house, location and property were everything I wanted it to be. The pool was the star of the show during the day and then the pond and forest came alive at night. Fireflies, frogs and peepers created a Dreamscape in which to make a small fire and sit in the Adirondack chairs and sip a nice wine. The AvantStay team was attentive and thoughtful the entire trip. The house is lovely. Especially the bedrooms. The beds are memory foam and so comfortable. Each room has air conditioning, extra bedding and there are even a few fold out futons for an extra bed mattress in the larger rooms. The place is older and some items like upholstery pieces and rugs have seen better days, but if you are a country loving person, those details fall away with the other charms of the place. I highly recommend this spot and would rent again.

Beautiful home! Our multigenerational family truly enjoyed this property, especially the pool. Host were extremely responsive and helpful when needed. House was clean and space was great for our group. Two areas of improvements:
The front door to house did not have a screen which allowed bugs and mosquitoes to easily enter. We had to purchase bug repellent candles to help. Also pool area is great but sooo many bees. And the feet of the pool is not labeled so be careful. The deeper end is very deep and there is no indication. Thank god we are swimmers but this was a concern for with young children.
Other wise! Great stay!

We're glad you had a great stay overall, and we hope to welcome you and your family back in the future.
The house was super cute and clean!! The only concern for us southerners was that there was no central A/C. We visited in late April and the weather turned out to be in the high 70’s, so it got a little warm in the house. We messaged the host and we were informed that they install window units for the warmer months, we just wished it was in the description. There were a couple of extra fans there we used. They had sheets galore, but only 2 washcloths per room so we had to wash almost everyday to have enough. The outdoor buildings on the property were not noted in the description, so we were slightly concerned when we first arrived, but we got used to them after being there. The pond was a nice added touch, we saw turtles, ducks, deer and eagles!! It’s in a very quiet area with plenty of yard for kids to play. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but wished we could have been a little more prepared for the unknowns!!
