Perfect Cabin Getaway!

The gatehouse was a perfect spot for a girls trip getaway. Secluded enough, but close to some local activities and restaurants! Cozy vibe and place had everything we needed!

I love this cottage. I keep going back for fall hikes on the property and in Minnewaska State park. With the charming restaurants, One with Land and Benton's, down the road, it makes for the perfect long weekend. The rooms are well kept and so charming, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you'll need. I highly recommend this property.

I would recommend this as a romatic getaway or a family friendly stay. Honestly...I was blown away..the fireplace was massive and beautiful, the kitchen was big, modern and equipped. For the cooks out there...the stove is awesome! The host was super friendly and attentive. And for anyone who understands......if you watch the YouTube fireplace backgrounds....it WAS THAT. Love this place. I will be back.

We had a much too brief stay, but what a lovely cottage in the most gorgeous setting. It has the feel of an old-school cabin but all the conveniences of a modern home. We especially loved the eclectic and plentiful selection of books. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. Lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the rushing creek nearby. A great base to explore all the glorious hiking in the area. We'll definitely be back!

A perfect getaway!

The property was very clean and comfortable! Katie was responsive to all our requests. We had a great weekend hiking and the area had great restaurants and the distillery was fun. The house itself was well equipped. I’d like to go back when it is warmer to enjoy the outside amenities like the deck and fire pit.We will be back!

I have grown up on this incredible property, and the surrounding nature has shaped me in innumerable ways. I love sharing it with others!

Why they chose this property

Part of a much larger property called the Awosting Club, this cottage sits at the entrance to a natural wonderland. Walk outside your door and access miles of beautiful carriage roads, waterfalls and cliffs - all on private property. We are adjacent to the Awosting Reserve entrance to Minnewaska State Park, so location is prime for anyone who loves mountain biking & hiking
