COME VISIT OUR COZY ART-FILLED HOME. LOVELY PRIVATE POOL IN 1-ACRE GARDEN (SUMMER).
Our charming, cozy and comfortable house is perfect for couples, singles, or couples plus 1. We are located inside the village of Woodstock, a 10-minute walk to the Village Green (or 2 min drive). In season, heated swimming pool surrounded by forest and gardens open for summer guests (heating optional). Our indoor space is a cottage-like private home with skylights, nestled among the tranquil forest and really close to the quaint but lively village of Woodstock-- and yet our forest location with private drive is super peaceful and quiet.
House and pool are surrounded by gorgeous perennial gardens creating a calm, enchanting environment. Quiet and peaceful, yet close to Woodstock town restaurants and boutiques, our location offers the best of both worlds.
Recommended for a couple sharing the kingsize bed, with additional possibilities of a separate sleep space for one extra person (fees apply).
Enticing decks with seating allows for barbecue or fire-pit gathering year round. Inside, a claw tub in the skylight and bay-windowed bathroom is perfect for de-stressing with bath salts (no standup shower but shower-head provided for water spray).
A front bay window full of plants faces the front deck.
For colder nights, we have a living room bluestone fireplace (now a smoke free inset with sealed glass door provides lovely wood heat). House has great winter lighting and ample shade in summer.
AC in summer is available (additional fee). Regular oil-furnace heat is also available for winter.
Beautiful screened windows as well as sliding door open out to private forest views.
Cook delicious meals in our simple but fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and Spanish tile floors, or use the barbecue outside. Enjoy nights of stargazing while eating at the outdoor table with chairs and lounges. Or use the fire pit in its garden location.
The 30-foot pool is surrounded by gorgeous gardens, sun umbrellas and chairs for lounging.
You can also take a 5 minute walk down the road to the Woodstock Millstream swim hole.
Consider taking a walk in the woods following the Town of Woodstock paths through the Comeau Property forests along the Millstream. It takes 5 min. to drive to the trailhead.
This is our real weekend home! We are writers and professors who love books, art, writing, and the quiet of our special house. Come enjoy our books, French antiques, and artwork. We love to share it with like-minded people when traveling. Come and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. Excellent space for writers and artists seeking a retreat. (If you prefer new and modern things this house may not be for you.)
Musicians can play our lovely piano. Cooks can make magical meals to serve on our antique French table or, in better weather, out on the deck.
Or take a stroll into the heart of the Woodstock village very close by to shop or eat great food. Hear music in local venues for the cost of a drink in places like the Colony in town.
We provide a full House Manual for your stay, and local venue tips. The gardens also have art and mobile sculptures by our renown family artists. (All information in the Manual hardcopy.)
Don't miss this opportunity to relax by the pool, on the decks surrounded by flowers and greenery, with sumptuous views of the forest when our limited open calendar allows. We do think this is a PARADISE. It is especially welcoming to artists, writers, people who enjoy hiking, swimming, and other local sports in the Woodstock area. Or if you just want to hang around and read. Guests who seek a tasteful and artsy non-suburban setting that is amazingly calming and private will love our home. Our guests over the years tell us how peaceful and relaxing our place is.
The master bedroom contains a super-comfortable natural mattress in KING size. Additional twin bed can be provided, perfect for a child or adult friend.
Polished wood floors are laid with authentic Persian carpets (sometimes removed in summer months), Our calm living room opens up to skylights and a bay window. Relaxing chairs and rockers are located multiple parts of the house.
The bathroom is charming and simple, with a large claw-tub bath for long soaks and a shower head (hand-held), as well another bay window with hanging plant. We are on well-water regularly checked and filtered. Our equally simple kitchen has authentic Italian tile floors and granite counters, and is fully equipped for real cooking.
Enjoy our superb classical / jazz CD collection, as well as turntable for historic vinyls (organized in living room closet).
Our house is located on a private drive off a low-traffic road.
