Loved our short stay here. Relaxing little nook minutes from downtown Saugerties. The host Maureen was great and easy to communicate with. Great decor and vibe. We had a little fire outside and enjoyed dark, quiet nights.

This was our second visit to the Artist's Retreat in Saugerties and we will return in the future! The first was for my mom's 88th birthday and this year for her 91st. Beautiful location. Maureen makes the whole process relaxing and restorative. Fresh flowers in every room, fires laid in the inside and outside fireplaces, fresh milk and eggs in the frig. The views of Outlook Mountain from the dining room window and from the back bench in the morning are stunning. We discovered great kayaking nearby at Saugerties beach. Already booked for next year!

Maureen was very responsive to any questions. The house is located in a very quiet area which made for a very relaxing time with family. It is very homey and cozy. We especially enjoyed the reading nook/ dining area for gathering for games and diving into our summer reads and for beautiful views for sunsets. Thank you for a wonderful time!
