Secluded in the countryside, yet just a short walk into Woodstock, this cottage is the ideal combination of away-from-it-all and convenience. The backyard is designed to make the most of the outdoors. Whether you’re here when the trees are turning golden brown in autumn, or when the sun shines in summer, there’s a spot outside for you. Sunny months see barbecues on the deck beneath the stringed lights and in colder months the firepit will keep you warm. Whatever the season, the hot tub is always waiting for an evening soak. Inside it’s anything but rustic, where velvet sofas invite you to put your feet up (perhaps after a hike in the nearby Catskills) and a monochrome white and grey kitchen has something of a boho-luxe feel. The bedroom is, quite frankly, huge. It has its own seating area, like a lavish hotel suite, and a second desk (the first is in the living room overlooking the trees). Woodstock, with its craft beer brewery, artisan bakeries, mom-and-pop-style coffee shops and indie art galleries, is just a fifteen-minute walk away if you don’t want to get the car out. But exploring further sees you at Hunter or Belleayre ski resorts, a... forty-minute drive if you want to hit the slopes.

About Woodstock (NY)
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. The Catskills is the perfect place for an escape to nature, boasting the famous Kaaterskill Falls as well as countless other waterfalls and lakes. In the...
