A cozy, no frills cottage

A quaint cottage-style home, perfectly suited for a couple. As cycling enthusiasts, my wife and I really appreciated the property's proximity to the nearby rail trail. Being able to ride to the trail from the house was especially nice. Although sparsely furnished, the cottage includes virtually everything you need for a pleasant stay. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of cooking utensils and appliances. The furnishing, particularly the living room area, could be a bit more welcoming and the television was a bit small for the space. Aside from this minor drawback, we would highly recommend these accomodations.

Perfect little cottage, perfect location.

We have stayed at this cottage multiple times. It's very well kept and in a good location - right next to a rail trail that you can ride to Hurley (George Washington had a party there). From the patio you can watch horses prancing on the property next door. If you need anything, there is a market a few minutes away. The High Falls food co-op is even closer. Rosendale trestle and cement mines are not far. Or drive a little further to the magnificent Ashokan Reservoir. The hosts are lovely people.

Great location!

Our stay was everything we needed and wanted. The cottage was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the owners were friendly. We throughly enjoyed being close to the rail trail and managed to explore it several times during our stay. We certainly hope to stay here again the next time we are in High Falls.

A wonderful little cottage

We visit the 'Gunks often and feel very fortunate to have discovered Leggett Cottage for the last 5 days of our visit. The cottage is beautifully renovated, with lots of open space, light, and great air conditioning for the very hot days. The views from the back terrace were lovely -- horses in the field and a beautiful garden. We rode and walked on the nearby O & W Rail Trail and Anat showed us where to store our bikes when not in use. Our interactions with Anat and Jamie were very cordial. We had a very peaceful visit and highly recommend the cottage. We'll be back!

Wonderful relaxing cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Anat and Jamie's 1 bedroom cottage in High Falls. The location is fantastic (right near a bike trail) and we enjoyed total privacy while knowing the owners were close by if we needed anything. The cottage is well equipped, comfortable, clean and charming. We are planning to return soon!

Marvelous find

This was one of the most idyllic spots imaginable, and the care and attention to detail of the owners is exemplary in the outfitting of a beautifully-renovated kitchen, and in original artwork by the owners displayed throughout. Very comfy bed and lovely patio off the dining area, overlooking a horse pasture with equine friends grazing nearby. I will return!

Surpassed our expectations

High Falls is our favorite hamlet in the Mid-Hudson Valley and our stay here was perfect! The location is very close to Main St with its wonderful restaurants. The other thing I loved was the really interesting artwork. But overall a great find. Don't hesitate to make this your home base any time of year.
