Goat Hill Cottage 2BR: Fireplace, Fire Pit, Views

Goat Hill Cottage sits on a private hillside between Woodstock and Saugerties, with long views across the Hudson Valley to the Catskills and Berkshires. Two ensuite bedrooms (one king, one queen) sleep 4. A gas fireplace, screened porch, stone patio with fire pit, and landscaped gardens make it a year-round retreat. The heated pool is open Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Inside: wood floors, a gas fireplace in the living room, and a fully equipped kitchen with oak countertops, open shelving, and a skylight. Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, one with a deep soaking tub and the other with a walk-in shower.

Outside, the stone patio looks out over the mountains, the screened porch is set up for morning coffee, and the fire pit has Adirondack seating for evenings under the stars. Woodstock and Saugerties are minutes away for hiking, farm-to-table dining, and small-town shopping.
