We enjoyed our stay and used the large kitchen often. The location is great for hiking. The house is very close to the gated entrance so not super private from drivers and walkers. Beautiful wooded area behind the home with other rentals. Surprised there is not wood provided but we made it work. Katie showed us some of the other rentals. Note the shower has a strong sulfur smell from the natural water source, it’s intense for a shower.

We loved our stay at the cottage. It was clean, cozy and perfect for a weekend away. The private hiking trails on the property were amazing and Katie, the property manager was super helpful and responsive. I would definitely stay there again!

I love this cottage. I keep going back for fall hikes on the property and in Minnewaska State park. With the charming restaurants, One with Land and Benton's, down the road, it makes for the perfect long weekend. The rooms are well kept and so charming, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you'll need. I highly recommend this property.

We had a much too brief stay, but what a lovely cottage in the most gorgeous setting. It has the feel of an old-school cabin but all the conveniences of a modern home. We especially loved the eclectic and plentiful selection of books. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. Lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the rushing creek nearby. A great base to explore all the glorious hiking in the area. We'll definitely be back!

A perfect getaway!

The property was very clean and comfortable! Katie was responsive to all our requests. We had a great weekend hiking and the area had great restaurants and the distillery was fun. The house itself was well equipped. I’d like to go back when it is warmer to enjoy the outside amenities like the deck and fire pit.We will be back!
