Sky Island is the unique ecosystem of the craggy cliffs of Shawangunk Mountains famous among rock climbers. Nestled between the Rondout Creek and the D&H Canal, the cottage sits in a pastoral glade of trees, birds and deer. Kerhonkson is a Hudson River Valley town of natural beauty. It's a five minute drive to Minnewaska State Park and the Mohonk Preserve. This totally renovated 1840’s cottage is ideal for a couple, but also serves as a peaceful getaway for anyone wishing to spend some quiet time alone. It has a wood burning fireplace, cathedral ceiling with skylights and a private deck. It's an easy entry to the D&H Canal Rail Trail for walking, bicycling, cross-country skiing or bird watching. Regretfully, we cannot accommodate children or pets.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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.

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!

    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!

    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
