Hudson Valley, the Gunks - Beautiful Cottage

Irene is such a great host! The cottage is beautiful and clean and we have a great time every time we visit

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful as always. The place is stocked with everything you could need, and Irene is the most welcoming host. We can't wait to return again soon!

This is a great home base when exploring the Gunks and Minnewaska, The cottage is comfy and quiet and host Irene is communicative and accommodating. We’ve stayed twice now and plan on making it our “spot”.Thank you Irene……..Probably be back next month!!!R &T

Convenient location for exploring “the gunks”.Host Irene was responsive and accommodating.Cottage is cozy and quiet.

we had such a great time in this beautiful cottage, it was so cozy and we had everything we needed to stay inside all weekend, cook a few big meals and used the fireplace every night! irene was a great and responsive host. my only feedback is that there could be some more photos of the space on the listing, but everything that wasn’t pictured was so charming i was pleasantly surprised. can’t wait to come back :)

This was our 4th or 5th time here. Irene is a phenomenal host! She provides the most welcoming atmosphere and amenities. The cottage is comfortable and cozy. It sits at the end of a small street and right next to a rail to trail walk. It’s also minutes away from Minnewaska State Park as well as Mohonk. I honestly can’t rave enough about this place. We will be back!

Quite simply, Irene thought of it all - exactly what one needs in the kitchen, an array of books and movies, a beautiful fireplace, towels and extra towels, everything.

Little things mean a lot! We arrived in the dark after a snowstorm. When we walked through the door, little lights were on throughout and the space was cozy and warm. We felt expected and welcome. The cottage was extremely well appointed with all the niceties of home—we wanted for nothing. Wood and kindling were also well stocked and ready for a fire in the impeccably clean fireplace. The queen bed was very comfortable. Plenty of space to store your belongings. Long views out the windows of snow-covered fields were peaceful and tranquil. The host was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating. We’ve stayed in a number of vacation rentals over the years, and this was hands down one of the best so far!

This home was beautiful, clean, quiet, and very cozy. Views on a winter day were perfect. Fireplace at night was a delight! Everything you need in the kitchen to make a lovely dinner. We hope to visit again.

We have only positive things to say about our visit to this beautiful cottage. Irene is a delightful host, very responsive to any question I had and made sure that we had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. It felt more like staying with a friend than a rental unit. If you are looking for a peaceful place to rest and restore, this is it.

our stay was super! everything was excellent. Kitchen very well stocked. Host was very thoughtful and accommodating.

A dreamy cottage. Very well kept. Excellent vibes. We felt fully rejuvenated. Wish I was richer so I could afford a longer stay. The host was very prompt with any help we needed. The area is nice with convenience stores and a couple of food joints. We fully stayed in - making the most of the cottage and the scenery of fall weather in upstate New York.

We stayed here for my wife’s birthday and we could not have asked for a better place to stay to make her celebration more memorable. It is such a quaint, cozy and charming cottage and the setting is absolutely beautiful, from the quiet solitude, the beautiful songs of the birds, gazing at the stars, watching the sun rise over the field and trees, and I could go on and on. The cottage is ideally located to all the parks in the area and all the nearby towns.The host, Irene, was wonderful! We will be definitely coming back.

Cozy cottage with great outdoor views

Irene responded quickly to our request to stay. Communication was easy and her personalized hostess note and beverage for our anniversary stay was delightful. The location of the cottage was perfect for accessing area bike trails and close enough to New Paltz and Woodstock for day trips. The cottage was outfitted with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this host and cottage for a welcoming, clean and gracious experience.

Perfect cottage!!

Great stay!

Our stay at Irene's cottage was nothing short of magical! It is the most peaceful, lovely, and well-stocked home away fro mhome we could dream of!

As a seasoned user of VRBO type properties, I found this cottage very nicely appointed. All necessities provided in the kitchen, along with overall comfort whether inside or out on the quiet deck with a view of a tree lined meadow. Peaceful is a good description. Irene is helpful and unobtrusive.

charming, magical

This property was as explained and more! Such a gorgeous setting with so many wonderful details to make guests comfortable!

Quiet, scenic and felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The host called to be sure we had everything needed and just to welcome us - an unexpected, but lovely touch. Absolutely everything provided we might even think we wanted. Terrific recommendations for nearby to do and dining. Catskills are lucky to have such a gracious and seasoned host. Many thanks!

What a perfect, cozy getaway spot. The cottage was everything we needed for a quick weekend away. The location was great, lots to do within a short drive and the walking oath right outside the front door was icing on the cake. Our host Irene was a pleasure and we woukd stay again in a heartbeat!

We have stayed in the cottage several times. It's a great location and Irene is a terrific host. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. We were perfectly situated for everything we wanted to do, including a tour at Olana, a hike around Denman Mountain and a walk on the Walkill Valley Trail. We didn't have time to walk the trail right out the cottage door, but we could see it as we enjoyed our dinner on the deck each night.

The house is very cozy and Irene is a wonderful host. We stayed two nights for the 3rd time. Each time has been a relaxing and rejuvenating time. If we come back to New York we will be staying here.

My partner and I could not be more happy with our stay at Irene's magical little cottage. Everything was impeccably clean, and kitchen was well-stocked! We enjoyed all of her recommendations and can't wait to return!

The cottage has everything you'd need for a relaxing stay indoors, as well as a wealth of information about attractions throughout the county, should you wish to explore. Irene was a delight to work with. We hope to return soon.

We have stayed at this cottage a few times so far. It never disappoints! The cottage is so comfortable and cozy. We love that there is a wood fireplace. Irene keeps the cottage stocked with some nice amenities. It is close to Minnewsaka State Park and Mohonk Mountain. And New Paltz. My favorite is the rail trail right out the door! We will be back! Seeetest cottage!

Very beautiful property with plenty of amenities! Everything you need for the perfect campfire indoors. Great movie selection and library incase the weather isn’t the greatest. Always warm with beautiful sky lighting.

Wonderful for a 2 night stay. Cottage was super clean and cozy, and the light in the living room was beautiful all day long. Woodburning fireplace with kindling and wood provided was a nice backdrop for an evening movie from the excellently curated DVD collection- lots of classics! Instant access to the rail trail is a nice feature for a quick walk, with larger attractions like Minnewaska about 20 minutes away. I stayed in winter on a snowy weekend, and it was beautiful, but also looking forward to returning in summer to enjoy the deck and grill. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Love this wonderfully designed property in a wonderful setting. Cathedral ceilings and skylights make the interior feel airy and spacious for its square footage. Perfect floor plan too. We loved our stay again and look forward to next time.

This was our second visit and like the first, it did not disappoint. Our sincerest thanks to Irene, as her cottage is immaculate and beautifully furnished. Everything and anything you might need or wish for is there to make your stay a cozy and comfortable one. We definetly want to return!

Wonderful property love the seclusion , well maintained, very clean and cozy.

This cottage is cozy and comfortable. It has all the elements I look for in a special place. It sits only a few yards from a canal trail for a nice walk in the woods along a creek. It feels extremely private. It is near Minnewaska state park for some nice hiking or walking. It’s very close to new Paltz, which is popular for many. Irene is the ultimate host ( in my opinion) thinking of everything to make you feel comfortable. She is easy to communicate with also.This was our third time at this sweet little cottage.and it will not be our last

Amazing stay at this adorable cottage! Hiked Minnewaska and Mohonk and came home to relax here. Had the best time and loved the surroundings! So cozy and inviting!

Loved this property

The property was clean & comfortable. It is right next to the O & O bike path. For those who love to be outdoors the location is great to get to beautiful bike paths & state parks.

we loved everything about this charming well appointed cottage. it has all we needed-spacious layout-beautiful view on garden and right next to walking trail. we would love to return when in the area.

The Enchanted Cottage lived up to its name. This charming, clean and well-equipped bungalow is the perfect place to stay. We were there to attend a wedding. We’ll be back to enjoy the hiking trails and other activities.
