Would stay here again :)

It was great. Very cozy. Lila was super helpful and flexible with our needs. The cottage is attached to her house but that didn't obstruct the privacy we needed. There was a beautiful lake nearby that we walked around and a grocery store very close. It was the perfect place to work, rest, and escape the city.

Quiet respite for the Holiday

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this cottage! It was a chance to get away from the noise of city life and focus on a few projects without distraction. The cottage was clean, quiet, and in a great location. I liked that the bedroom was upstairs from the living space. It gave a feeling of being in a real home. The bed was comfortable! The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, etc. I cooked all my own meals with no hassle. I was able to explore the area - in Hudson and other smaller villages quite conveniently from this location. And even with the less than ideal weather, I took a couple of nature walks. All in all, a great way to wind up a hectic year. Thank you.

Quaint Upstate Cottage

We stayed at the cottage while visiting family over the holidays. It was a quaint, well kept two story that was nicely appointed with the necessities. Lots of character throughout. Though what we needed from our stay was just somewhere to sleep for the few nights we were in the area, we got much more. We looked forward to driving the back country roads leading to our respite in the woods at the end of a busy day. The owner was wonderful and very responsive. We will definitely return to the cottage when we visit the area again! Highly recommend!!

A lovely retreat

We loved this unique cottage, its spare yet comfortable furnishings and its secluded location in the woods. The host was very thoughtful and communicative prior to our arrival. There was a short-lived, weather-related power outage during our stay and the host could not have been more solicitous of our comfort or more respectful of our privacy.

About the host

Hosted by Lila Garnett

I retired to the Hudson Valley after a 20 year career in publishing. For the past couple of years, I have devoted most of my time to restoring this mid-century property; and to working on my own visual art projects. My family is scattered around this area; and I have a grown daughter living on the West Coast.

Why they chose this property

This is a new Listing as of May 2022.
I am happy to host guests seeking a quiet retreat, or a home base for exploring the environs. I have been here for a few years now, and feel it has a special character. Situated back from a quiet country road, yet centrally located between Germantown and Hudson. There is abundant wildlife for nature lovers. The cottage is fully renovated, with custom woodwork and attention to aesthetics.
