Woodstock, New York
Welcome to Woodstock and our family oasis! Located on a private road, at the base of Overlook Mountain, on more than 5 secluded, wooded, acres. Conveniently situated less than five miles from the artsy and fun Town of Woodstock, five miles in the other direction, is the great Village of Saugerties, and 20 minutes from Kingston (the original capitol of New York!) - near all restaurants, bars, hiking/trails, swimming, horseback riding, skiing/tubing, etc.
Pulling up our blacktop driveway (perfect for bikes, scooters and skateboards), is our classic, but fully modernized, log home - surrounded by trees and plenty of yard to play & relax in. Nature is quite literally at your doorstep. (*We treat naturally/organically for ticks and mosquitos, so while there is never a guarantee, we do our best to keep them at bay.)
The private heated, saltwater pool, huge deck and screened-in porch allow you to enjoy our warm months to their fullest. Surrounded by a brand new patio, hot tub, stone fire pit and stunning gardens, there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the outdoors.
Our home is newly renovated (2016), with a modern yet welcoming interior and an open floor plan. The bedrooms are ideally situated for families with kids and grandparents. The two guest/kid bedrooms close off from the main room & primary bedroom via pocket doors, perfect for late night game nights or movies, while the kids sleep.
Beautiful, brand new & fully outfitted eat-in kitchen (with a huge peninsula for eating and cooking) opens to a large great room, featuring soaring ceilings and beams, enormous picture windows, a large wood burning fireplace with beautiful ceramic tile and dining table.
From the dining/kitchen, the patio doors open to a large deck and the private and secluded heated & saltwater swimming pool. Plenty of Adirondack chairs and loungers, a large umbrella, sandbox & beautiful built in stone fire pit compliment the gorgeous gardens surrounding the pool. We can't forget the children's playground, trampoline and climbing dome, perfect for your kids. The hot tub is open year round and offers a quiet and serene place to soak and take in nature - no matter the weather!
From the deck, you can access the screened in porch, perfect for summer lunches and evening cocktails. There are dining tables and chairs on both the deck and in the screened porch.
A large primary bedroom, with picture windows, features a king sized bed (Tempur-Pedic mattress) and a big primary bathroom, with heated floors, and a walk-in shower with a bench. On this side of the house, you'll find the playroom, complete with toys, books, a TV and arts and crafts table as well as board/card games & puzzles (for adults and kids.)
On the opposite side of the house, you'll find a new hall bathroom, also with heated floors, and a large bathtub/shower. The first guest/kids room has a double sized bed with a Tempur-Pedic mattress. Across the hall is second guest/kids room, featuring a twin bed (two, nice, twin blow up air mattresses are available for extra children.)
Ideal for families - the floor plan is conducive to running around in the cold winter months, and open to backyard and summer living in the warmer. A full sized washer and dryer make showing up with the bare minimum clothes and immediately being right at home more than feasible. A travel crib is available.
Close to HITS, Hunter/Belleayre/Windham Mountains and all other Catskill and Hudson Valley activities, our house is a perfectly situated home base for whatever you're looking for (or, of course, doing nothing except relaxing!) The garage (and its side entrance) is perfect to keep your wet skis or your muddy boots dry and warm.
We have an extensive personal recommendation lists for restaurants, bars, places to visit and hike and more kid friendly activities. We have family living nearby, as well as a handyman and cleaning person on-call. Please note that for stays longer than two weeks, we do require a cleaning every two weeks.
Maximum number of adults permitted is 4 - two to three children are acceptable (some exceptions permitted based on age.) We don't rent to anyone under 27 - but the house is also ideal for couples without children looking to get away for a romantic and quiet week. No parties, except for yourselves! There are two security cameras on the property - at the front door/door bell and facing out into the driveway, in front of the garage.
Please note that a 2% Ulster Cty Tax is added to the fees.
*Please know the gap in reviews was due to renting privately to repeat guests and then since COVID we have been living here full time*
Let me begin by saying, we didn’t want to leave and we already started to figure out when we’ll book it next! It was such a treat to be there. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The location is picturesque and conveniently located in proximity to Woodstock and the hosts were welcoming and great communicators. We had such a relaxing time sitting by the fire, listening to records, making meals together, enjoying the hot tub, and soaking in the view out of the expansive windows. The home was thoughtfully decorated and the beds and bedding were on point. Don’t hesitate, book this one!
This is a beautiful, well-appointed home nestled amongst tall pines. Very private and easy to live in, this gorgeous log cabin is simultaneously elegant and cosy, offering the quintessential experience of upstate mountain life.
Everything was great. We were here for 16 days and we could have just moved in and stayed forever. Come here…..you won’t regret it. A bit of paradise in the Woodstock woods!
Maggie and her family were wonderful! The house was so beautiful and clean. From the warming decor, to the relaxing backyard, this house was perfect for a staycation. We spent everyday in the gorgeous pool with our toddler who loves to swim (getting him out was the toughest choice all week). The house is secluded for privacy, but close enough to the strip in Woodstock that we were able to see the local shops and try new cuisine. Thank you so much Maggie for a wonderful stay! We can’t wait to stay in the future.
We visited Maggie’s house with our two teens over the Labor Day weekend. The house is exactly as described, clean, spacious and comfortable. The large living area is great for lounging, relaxing and the kitchen is well equipped and stocked with all the essentials. The pool and hot tub were both clean and heated and we had two amazing days of sun so were able to get a lot of use. There is plenty of privacy between the living area and the other bedrooms than I had realized from the listing. The pocket doors mentioned add an extra layer of soundproofing which would be very useful when adults are entertaining in the living space past the kids’ bedtimes. Maggie was helpful and communicative and provided a great list of recommended restaurants before our stay. We enjoyed it so much that hoping to come back for another stay later in the year.
We had an amazing weekend at Maggie’s house in Woodstock. The location is remote and private, but just 10 minutes from Woodstock. The house was extremely clean and there were plenty of toys for my kids to use. The layout is great for families with kids of all ages. Maggie made herself very available before we arrived and even sent a lengthy email with all of the information we needed about the house and things to do in the area. We will definitely be back!
Maggie is a wonderful host, providing a warm and beautifully renovated space, a well stocked home and a detailed guide to everything in and around Woodstock. Quiet and private property 10 minutes to everything. Beds were comfortable, house was meticulous and perfectly set up for anyone with toddlers! Loved the heated bathroom floors and black out shades for the guest rooms :)
It was really nice to come to a home that was so clean and well organized and beautifully renovated. We will definitely come back again.
The house is stunning and beautifully renovated and meticulously maintained, with a great location at the base of Overlook Mountain, accessible to hiking trails and short drive into the town of Woodstock and all the shops and restaurants it has to offer. Our two toddlers were in heaven with the fully stocked playroom, pool and outdoor playground. We had some wonderful nights sitting out by the outdoor fire pit telling stories and roasting s’mores. Maggie is a friendly and gracious host who takes care of all the little details that allow you to just start enjoying your getaway the moment you arrive at the house. We would love to return!
Our family stayed at Maggie's place for a weekend in Woodstock and had a great time! The heated pool was delightful, our 1yr old son had a blast with all the kid toys / kitchen set, the living room / kitchen is stunning, and you are a short drive to lots of hikes, restaurants, and other activities. We'd definitely stay again and it was the perfect escape from the city!
