Hudson Valley, the Gunks - Beautiful Cottage

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.
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!
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 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 :)
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
