Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This secluded home is set on 26 acres of private land. You may be in rural Saugerties, but with a private pool, seven-seater cinema, and shuffleboard table, there’s plenty to keep you occupied here. And when you’re ready to relax, two Jacuzzis await – one in the main bedroom and a seven-person ThermoSpa in the garden. If days out are on the cards, Woodstock is just a ten-minute drive away and the Catskill Mountains can be reached in half an hour. At full occupancy, four guests will be sharing a room with two queen-sized beds so the sleeping arrangements won’t suit everyone, but we think this house has a lot to offer a group of friends or families wanting to get away from it all.

Home truths
At full occupancy, four guests will be sleeping on two queen-sized beds in the same bedroom.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The swimming pool is only available for use between May and November. It isn't fenced so children will need to be supervised at all times. The Jacuzzi is open all year.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free on-site parking here and an EV charge point in the garage. In the winter months, the driveway to the home can only be accessed by SUV.
This is a country home so on rare occasions you may see deer, coyotes, or bears.

About Saugerties South
While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery. The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
