Hi! I'm Laurie, your host. I strive to provide every guest with a welcoming, comfortable, and peaceful stay—something reflected in my 37 five-star reviews on another platform. We receive consistent praise from guests who appreciate the cleanliness, tranquility, and thoughtful touches throughout the home.

I invite future guests to read through the many positive reviews that speak to the care and attention I put into every stay. My commitment remains to maintain the high standards that so many guests have enjoyed and appreciated.

"We had a great stay. The location is great, close enough to town for easy access, but not too close. The beds are very comfortable, even the foldout couch. It is a wonderful place to be if you do not want to be bothered. Laurie is great, easy and relaxed."

"Laurie was an excellent host and would highly recommend this adorable stay in Woodstock!"

"This cottage fully lives up to its billing as magical. The furnishings are minimalistic and rustic - the screened in porch area is wonderfully immersed in the surrounding nature. The surrounding woods are beautiful and full of natural light and stars at nightfall. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet serene magical stay in the Woodstock area. Thank you, Laurie for building maintaining and sharing this beautiful, wonderful, space!"

"Great house in a beautiful area! Hope to be back soon."

"Laurie was such a kind host, who checked in each day to see if she could make our stay more comfortable. Her place was so cute and homey. We had our baby moon there and were looking for a calm, peaceful place. Needless to say, this place was it! There were so many restaurant choices nearby and Laurie made great recommendations too."

"We had a wonderful 4 day stay in the woods at Laurie's cottage. The screened in porch overlooking the woods was our favorite place to hang. Easy and quick access to both the town and beautiful hikes. Would recommend checking out some of the land sanctuaries that are just minutes away. Beautiful and definitely 'roads less travelled'... as we felt like the forests were ours alone. Laurie was a great and accomodating host. Highly recommend!"

"Our family had such an AMAZING stay at Laurie’s charming guest cottage. It’s tucked away in the most quiet, peaceful wooded setting, while being a quick 5 minute drive to all of the charming shops and restaurant in downtown Woodstock. Laurie was a fantastic host, making sure we had absolutely everything we could possibly need and checking in with us throughout our stay. We made daily use of the heated in-ground pool, enjoyed morning coffee on the enormous screened-in porch, and used the provided list of local recommendations as a guide when choosing what activities to do and restaurants to enjoy. We are already looking forward to coming back for another stay next year! Thank you so much, Laurie!!"

"I feel really lucky to have snagged this place! My family of four had the most relaxing, restorative stay at Laurie’s cottage. Laurie has thought of everything and was incredibly hospitable. We all really enjoyed the outdoor seating areas, where we could listen to the nature around us. The swimming pool was perfect. The towels were amazing. A very comfortable place which we were all a bit bummed about having to leave! We sure hope we can come back and spend some more time!"

"Laurie was super helpful with advising us on local things to do and we really enjoyed the stay in such a beautiful location."

"WOW. There’s a small part of me that hates leaving 5 stars because I want to gate-keep this oasis!! Laurie’s place is a dream. Peaceful, cozy, with every little amenity you could need. The screen-in porch is a complete game-changer. Laurie is the perfect balance of available and invisible. We felt cared for and totally private! The towels, linens, kitchenwares, etc. are all great quality, we really had just the loveliest time. The property is gorgeous, the pool is wonderful. We are already scheming how to get back!"

"It was our second time staying at Laurie’s and we loved it! This place is perfect and Laurie is a great host. Our kids always have a great time."

"Laurie’s cottage is impeccably clean and comfortable . We enjoyed relaxing in the screened porch and its picturesque woodland views ."

"Laurie and David’s guesthouse in the woods is bright, clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and peaceful. The bedroom is like a little chalet of white pine, the smell so fresh and woodsy. Our favorite things were reading on the beautiful screened porch surrounded by woods and swimming in the ocean blue saltwater pool. Laurie was so responsive and kind. When we asked if there was an outdoor umbrella, she went into town to buy us one. The whole experience exceeded our expectations."

"I had extended my stay from before so this is just another post to say how wonderful this space is! I can’t wait to come back in the fall and experience the foliage! The hosts were amazing and I only saw them if something was needed or if I sought them out. You won’t be disappointed staying at this little retreat!"

"The guesthouse was exactly as described. Laurie and Dan were great hosts! I enjoyed staying here so much I extended my trip a week! The pool was amazing to use during the heat wave and being in the peaceful atmosphere was very nice to work in."

"Awesome stay, beautiful place and very peaceful. Thank you!"

"Nice, clean, QUIET. Just what I was looking for. And 7-8 mins from center town of Woodstock. Roomy 1 bedroom. A perfect stay a to z."

"Our stay at Lauries place was nothing short of amazing. The space is even better then it looks in the photos. Its very private and the surrounding nature is beautiful. We came out for our anniversary and it was very romantic. Nestled amidst the serene and picturesque landscape of Woodstock, NY, this cottage provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The screened in porch was awesome for doing work among nature. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and hope to come back soon! Laurie and David were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making sure we had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. They also provided a helpful guidebook with local recommendations, which was a great resource for exploring the area. Their warmth and hospitality truly added to the overall positive experience."

"I had a lovely stay at Laurie's cottage. The house is very clean, well-appointed and cozy, and Laurie was a perfect host. Her local recommendations were very thorough and helpful, check-in was easy, and I had everything I needed. The house is well-located and only a short drive from town and other local activities, such as Overlook Mountain. I definitely recommend Laurie as a host, and recommend her home!"

"Lovely place and Laurie’s a wonderful host."

"Laurie’s place was beautiful and she’s a wonderful host. She thought of everything and even offered toys for my kids to play with. My family and I made some wonderful memories here and plan to come again. Highly recommend staying here!"

"What a WONDERFUL space. My husband and I spent the weekend at Laurie's cottage and couldn't have been happier. Woodstock has so much to offer and so does Laurie's cottage. The pool was beautiful, the property was beautiful and peaceful. Communication was always fast and easy. We cannot wait to enjoy another stay in the near future! Thank you!!"

"Laurie was very welcoming and accommodating. When our plans changed at the last minute, she was quick to communicate and provide an alternate solution, which was much appreciated. The space is lovely and extremely quiet, and the cottage was cute and nicely laid out."

"A lovely cottage with access to an amazing pool and located on a well looked after beautiful property. Laurie is more than a responsive host, she's proactive and really looks after her guests."

"Really beautiful and cozy Airbnb. The home was private with an epic screened in porch. The home had great baby proof touches like outlet plugs and a high chair that made it a nice and easy stay with our one year old. Most importantly, super clean and free of clutter. Really lovely decor and design."

"Laurie is a fantastic host. She's responsive, attentive, & made sure that we had a great time at her place. We appreciated having her nearby while giving us space and privacy.

Beautiful property

Beautiful property. The guest house is tucked back behind the main house with good privacy and separate entrance to the pool. The guest house has everything you need. The huge screened in porch was the highlight for me!

Just so wonderful experience. The caretakers of the property were incredibly attentive and helpful and made you feel like you were safe and protected. I thought of everything for comfort and convenience and quiet for an incredible getaway. This was truly a treasure and I’m so grateful that I found it because it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Always great to visit Woodstock again since I haven’t been there since I was a kid. I’m staying in the magical cabin in the Woods made it spectacular!

Great Woodstock stay

Our family of 3 had a fantastic time staying at Laurie’s cabin. It was clean, spacious, and the setting is gorgeous. Hanging around the fire pit was a definite highlight for us. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated (lots of hooks!) and had everything we needed for our stay. Laurie was a wonderful host, she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, had great recs for hikes and dining and even made sure we knew about a local fireworks show! We would definitely recommend this magical space!

Best Cabin in the Woods!

This cabin is in a beautiful secluded location while still being close to downtown Woodstock and accompanied by multiple amenities -- large, screened in porch, fire pit with seating, and access to the property's heated pool and pool loungers. The cabin feels brand new, and is both thoughtfully decorated and comes with all the necessary amenities. We were never lacking for anything while we stayed there. It's a perfect size and set up for a family with 1 or 2 children. And most importantly, our hosts, Laurie and David, were incredibly warm, welcoming, attentive, and kind -- while also respecting our privacy. We highly recommend this to anyone visiting Woodstock or the area and hope to come back soon!

Review of ‘Magical Cottage in the Woods’

My major disappointment was that I booked this cottage as it had a heated pool. It turned out that every time you wanted to use the ‘heated pool’ you needed to notify the owner to ‘ask her to turn on the heat.’ We all know it takes hours to heat a pool. When I texted to tell her I wanted to use it she texted, back, ‘the pool is 80 degrees.’ I returned to the property several hrs later and the water was very cold. I did not go in. If you say the pool is heated it should be heated dawn to dusk for our stay. No hot tub or washer as advertised.The photos looked great and made the cabin appear larger than it was. The bedroom did not have adequate shelves or a functional closet. The closet was approximately 1’deep x 3’wide. There was a bookcase with 3 empty shelves in the bedroom where I had to put SOME of my clothing. The rest had to be left in my suitcase. Our toiletries had to be stored on one of the bookcase shelves in the bedroom. There was no bathroom medicine chest & only one shelf approximately 3”x 10”. The kitchen and living rm were a nice open area and adequate size. Again, storage was an issue. ie; the broom had to be disassembled to fit into the cabinet. There were large black ants throughout the cottage but, OK…I’m in the woods. Otherwise everything was very clean. Towels were new & plush. There was an area to park your car which was about 500’ from the cottage. The owner provided a cart for us to bring our luggage up to the house.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is footsteps away from your private 20' x 40' heated, salt water pool and private blue stone patio and fire pit with a circle of comfy Adirondack chairs for relaxing around the fire.

Our location is unparalleled. A short 5 minute drive into the legendary town of Woodstock, with all of it's vibrant restaurants, live music venues and arts performances, and the best Hudson Valley Farm to Table restaurants. A quick 3 minute drive or a quick walk down the hill for a top notch breakfast or lunch, or grocery run at Sunfrost Farms and the new Bearsville Theater Complex. Forty minutes to Hunter Mountain or 35 minutes to Belleayre Mountain for great skiing and snowboarding. Free parking onsite.

Fast wifi for working and streaming. AC in all rooms. Curated mix of of antiques and modern decor. Brand new kitchen with microwave, toaster oven/air fryer, French press, drip coffee maker.

What makes this property unique

A short walk or drive into the town of Woodstock, or just up the hill from Sunfrost Farm. A car would be convenient to get around to see the local sights, although you can certainly manage without a car if you stay local. Forty minutes to Hunter Mountain or 35 minutes to Belleayre Mountain for great skiing and snowboarding. Free parking onsite.

Guests have exclusive access to the private stone patio with fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and the gardens and woods surrounding the cottage. Guests also have exclusive access to the 20' x 40" pool most of the day, and lounge chairs, an outdoor dining table and chairs, and pool toys poolside. My husband and I live on the property in another house adjacent to the pool.

I love living in Woodstock, and will share with you all the local places that I know and love to make your stay extra special. After you book your reservation, you will receive a curated list of all my favorite places to eat, visit, hike, play pickleball, get a massage, and best takeout.
