..........The Teahouse Cottage is on an estate that was the home of Woodstock artist Judson Smith. He used the Teahouse for one of his studios in the 1940's and 1950's. Later, his daughters converted it to a guest cottage. The drops of paint on the floor from Smith's work more than half a century ago are preserved in the restored hardwood floor.
Click the 'More Details' link to see the full description.
.............This petite cottage overlooks a lovely trout stream and faces the river and a 75 acre park with 2 mile walking trail just on the other side of the river that goes upstream and loops back through the forest to the edge of the property. When the river is low, you can hop across rocks to reach the trail on the other side. If the river is high, you can access the trail head by going into town, behind the outdoor Shakespeare stage next to the Woodstock town offices.
............You don’t need a car to come to this Woodstock paradise!  From NewYork City, there is a bus to Woodstock.  The bus stop is about a half mile from the Teahouse, a 10 minute walk. There's a food market 2 blocks from the bus stop if you need supplies. 
..........Originally built in the 1870's as a small barn on the estate. This 1870's vintage antique post and beam barn has been fully renovated, while preserving it's original charm - new bath, new kitchen, restored antique hardwood floors, queen size pillow top mattress in the sleeping loft. The sleeping loft is accessed by a ladder. On the ground floor there is a full size Murphy bed.
...............It may say no pets somewhere in this description, however, your dog is welcome here.
.............. Update Now there is a fireplace by the stream for the use of guests of theTeahouse Cottage. We leave a maul [splitting ax] hanging on a tree next to the fireplace, and there's a chopping block. Recently, we purchased a Kindling Cracker,' that makes splitting firewood easier. On the upstream [westerly] edge of the estate is a supply of seasoned firewood - we provide that for no charge.. We include a 'Campfire Primer' and a description of the Kindling Cracker in our attachments in case you don't have experience with them.
..............There is wifi and a Smart TV. While the Teashouse is small, it can sleep 4.
..............Check in time 3:00 PM, check out time 11 AM. Early check in is an option if the Teahouse is not booked the night before your arrival.
The taxes are included in the rate.

    Loved this quaint teahouse so much! Wish I could stay forever. Saw a little bit of mouse poop here and there (not a huge deal to me). Also the shower was not clean. Otherwise the stay was idyllic!

    This property was awful. It is a glorified shed with primitive furnishings, dirty curtains, dirty 2 drawer stand, stained mattress cover, no stand up room in loft, dangerous vertical ladder, no exterior light so we had to approach in the pitch black at night, parking was so far away we had long walk with luggage; photo on listing is not front entrance

    I was in town for a few days to get some writing done and see friends. The cabin is beautiful and perfect for one or two people and a dog. The location is also perfect; it's in walking distance (or a very short drive) to town, but the main draw is that it's located on a beautiful stream. The rooster crowing in the background and the deer who visited the property were welcome.

    Very convenient to Woodstock. Sleeps 4 is generous. Bathroom is very small and hard to imagine more than one person at a time. The loft access ladder is rather precarious. Not for anyone with mobility issues. Owners might consider reattaching at an angle. Entry is yards from the driveway. You'll need boots if it rained. Post

    2 nights in a delightful cottage. It is small but delightfully appointed. The highlight was this clean, warm little cottage is perched directly on swft stream. We left the backdoor open at night!

    The Murphy bed in the living area was (good or bad) primitive in its design. The front steps were spongy; and should probably be replaced. Last, but not least, a driveway to the front door is needed.

    Really can't beat this location with access to a lovely stream in the backyard. Nice distance from town but still feels tucked away in the woods. the cottage itself has SO much potential, and just a few small adjustments would make it shine. the backyard was pretty run down - dirty/old/broken tables and chairs. Not enticing which is unfortunate given how great the stream isn Inside, with no screens, there was no way to get fresh air in the cottage without letting bugs in, so we'd highly suggest a screen door on the back (especially so you can enjoy the sounds of the water!) It quite dirty... dog hair on chair, couch smelled strongly of pee in one spot, cobwebs, etc. Also no sheets available for downstairs Murphy bed. With some sprucing up we'd definitely return!

    This is a great place to stay. Really loved the fire pit by the creek for evening cocktails and conversation.
