We had such a wonderful time at Southwoods. The property was incredibly beautiful, the view, grounds, animals, and especially the pool were just perfect for us to have a relaxing week. The host and groundskeeper Alex were VERY attentive, and any issue we had they would respond right away. (There happened to be a LOT of rain several nights we were there and they proactively came and brought a generator just in case the power went out!) Alex even came to help the kids feed the goats and was always making sure the pool was clean. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back soon.
Top quality - magical location, quiet, easy access to surrounding communities, comfortable accomodations, beautiful view of the Hudson River.
The cottage is cozy and well appointed. The property itself is stunning. The views are truly magnificent. We've stayed upstate many times and this was the best view by far. Dana was a responsive and helpful host. In my dream world we can come back and stay in the main house one day.
Good experience!
My daughter and I were truly enchanted by this property! Sipping wine in the gazebo watching the sunset over the Hudson is not to be missed, nor is a visit or two to the goats!
Charming, private and peaceful. Out of town location but still close enough to conveniences. Lovely view of the Hudson.
We enjoyed staying at this cottage. For us, the best part was the beautiful and interesting historical location which we had to ourselves. The river views, including the resident bald eagle (!), were great. The pool is very beautiful, with river views and a Buddha statue, but we found the pool surface to be unusually rough (it cut our feet) although perhaps this was being repaired. We arrived during a rain storm and the house was damp, but fine. Overall, this is an interesting place to stay, with many nice nearby towns and sites.
The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The pool, overlooking the river and mountains, was terrific. We spent many hours there. The cottage was perfect for our multi-generational family with a full kitchen and a charcoal BBQ. Everything was clean and orderly upon our arrival. The hosts made sure we weren’t lacking for anything. We highly recommend this venue and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
The cottage is located in a huge estate right on the Hudson. The property is magnificent. The pool overlooking the river is sensational. Unhappily for us, and everyone in the North East this 4th, the weather was terrible. Could have happily spent hours a day swimming and reading by the pool. Dana Perry, the owner, is wonderful. The cottage is very pretty, and the architecture interesting. And there is so much new and interesting going on in the towns around the property.
Lovely place to escape the city! We had fire first night when it was chilly and enjoyed cooking in both nights. Thank you for having grill available! Beautiful spot and so many interesting places close by.
