Formerly an art colony, Elephant Cottage was built more than 75 years ago and has recently been remodeled while preserving the natural charm and wood features.

There is a brand new cooling and heating system, bluestone patio, updated/fully equipped kitchen and updated bathroom is functional and clean.

This is the perfect retreat setting for a family. writer, musician, artist, or other creative type who is looking for privacy, yet not total seclusion. I have a Smart TV/Spectrum and a great stereo sound system with access to Netflix, Amazon and other APs.
The cottage features original elephant artwork created by the owner, with percentage sales proceeds donated to various charities to help preserve the endangered African elephants, empower women and girls, underserved youth.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Samantha Taylor
A native of London, I grew up in Kenya, East Africa. As Founder of Reputation Dynamics, I am a community girl working on the front lines of social, environmental and humanitarian change. I believe 'Living with Purpose' is essential for enjoying life. I fell in love with this little cottage, the beautiful setting and abundance of nature. I look forward to sharing my passion for Elephants, my paintings and wisdom they bring. I am an avid traveler, lover of nature and cultural pursuits. Life is too short and must enjoy every minute, be active members of thriving communites.
Why they chose this property
I was seeking an authentic home in nature and wildlife, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Yet, close enough to enjoy the wonderful leisure and outdoor activities and food experiences that Woodstock and Bearsville has to offer. This house has a great energy and spirit along with its rich history of being an artist retreat in the 1930s, I have had such fun sprucing it up and protecting many of the original features of the house.
What makes this property unique
The large living window, the light and calmness, surrounded by trees and nature. Original pine floors and magnificent blue stone chimney, make it an authentic, charming experience.
