Thank you for a lovely stay, the cottage was impeccable! Christa and Wayne were wonderful, they had great suggestions and even went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to coming back!

Christa (and Wayne)'s cottage was exactly what the photos show. Well, it was better. They have really built something special here. The cottage is super cozy and spacious.The location was perfect- far enough away from everything but still a easy drive to anything you need. Christa made sure we got the lay of the lang as soon as we got in and for the rest of the trip, we didn't even notice them being there. I can see this place being perfect for any season. There is so much in the area to enjoy all year around. We went mostly for rest and reboot, but Christa recommended some good trails so we got a little bit of a workout. Aside from that, we cooked all weekend (no stove but the burner was absolutely sufficient), and just enjoyed the comfy spaces. We are already talking about going back really soon.

This cottage is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet, for star gazers and nature lovers. This pretty cottage is cozy and beautifully decorated. With a soft bed and cozy furniture, I just wanted to laze around the house during my stay. Christa and Wayne greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the house. Though it is isolated, we still had access to our phones and the internet. We had a great stay in Phoenicia, and Christa's suggestions made it easier to enjoy the towns around us. We would definitely visit again.

Our hosts provided the perfect retreat for our 25th anniversary trip to Phoenicia. The decor was charming! Everything that we possibly needed during our stay was available....flashlights, bug spray, a hair (URL HIDDEN) amazing what you forget when you run away from the city! Christa and Wayne thought of everything, though. They were kind enough to share a bottle of Wayne's homemade hot sauce from their stock, too. My favorite little touch was the bud vase of flowers from the grounds on the table. Phoenicia is a darling town. We hope to return, soon!

The phoebe cottage was absolutely charming and the ideal escape from the city we were seeking. Christa and Wayne were incredibly attentive from the very beginning and made sure we had everything we needed. They are not only exceptional hosts but they are also genuinely great people. We had a wonderful time with them and certainly hope to return again soon!

We had a lovely time at the cottage, Christa and Wayne were great hosts and we felt very welcome. We'd love to visit again!

Christa and Wayne were excellent hosts. Their home is beautiful and they gave us tons of great recommendations for our trip. We can't wait to come back some day!

Very welcoming environment! Wonderful hosts! Beautiful spot. Perfect for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

This place is even better than advertised. Really charming updated interior and the property is stunning. This is the perfect get away for 1 or 2 couples trying to get out into the country and unwind!

Terrific place in a wonderful setting and very private yet close enough to a couple of little towns if you wanted that.

This place is amazing, a little private slice of heaven. The cabin has everything you need for a perfect weekend away including a well stocked kitchen. Dealing with Chauncey was great and easy and I already booked my second trip back soon!

The house was quaint and cozy, the grounds were beautiful, and the access to nearby towns, including Phoenicia, Woodstock, Margaretville, etc. was excellent. We had such a romantic and relaxing time at this property.

Amazing, super private, huge property with a great little cabin. Everything was exactly as described/pictured and the cast iron stove was perfect for a fall weekend. Chauncey responded super fast to my last minute reservation and checking in/out was simple. I'll be back!

Beautiful cabin on a property that is to die for. We spent hours exploring the property and the mountain that it abuts. Phoenecia, a charming town with a grocery store, pharmacy, etc. and wonderful restaurants and shops, is minutes away, and Woodstock is less than a 30 minute drive. The house is charming and cozy and included all the amenities we could have asked for. We went in Winter and it snowed the first day, which was beautiful, and we spent the night sitting by the fire stove inside. A wonderful experience all around.

Everything is as described and perfect. Beautiful cabin on gorgeous land, and I intend to return once per season. The kitchen is very well stocked with the essentials. The beds are comfortable, and the wood stove keeps the whole home cozy. There were no issues at all. Thanks!

My boyfriend and I had a great time at Chauncey's cabin for a weekend city-escape with another couple. The home was secluded, cozy, and super peaceful, surrounded by trees and with two firepits outside. The beds were comfy and kitchen was nicely stocked, though as some other reviews mentioned, the living space is cozy and there's only a small TV (for DVDs) in a sitting area upstairs - so best to be there with close friends! We loved walking to the private stream on the property, the clear night skies full of stars, and getting a fire going outside -- though we had a tricky time bc the fire logs were a bit damp. Also: it's worth a quick note that the water in the cabin is a bit sulfur'y, but there's a brita in the house (Chauncey definitely gave us a heads up on this in his instructions, but something to adjust to!). Overall, we had a great wkend a the cabin, plus exploring the fun in the area (Phoenicia Diner, Ashokan Reservoir, hiking). Chauncey was super responsive and great to coordinate with, even giving us some recs for restaurants. Thanks for the great stay!

Alma and James made us feel very welcomed in their wonderfully appointed Esopus Cottage. From answering our questions, to providing fresh local spring water, they went above and beyond in ensuring we had a pleasant stay. The cottage is clean, modern, and cozy. The area surrounding the cottage is idyllic, making the cottage an excellent staging ground for some great hikes. Everything was as described and was made all the better by the welcoming attitude of our hosts. A fantastic bonus was that the Esopus creek is audible from the porch of the cottage; it was the perfect soundtrack for sipping wine under the stars. We hope to return for another restful weekend.

The place was exactly as pictured and described on the site; and very clean. What makes this rental special are the hosts, who are extremely nice and warm people. They went out of their way to make me feel at home and make sure I had everything I needed for my stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Great great hosts. They left s with the perfect amount of privacy butx were also very welcoming and informative when we had some questions. Cottage was a little aller than I imagined. I wish there was a couch. Therd was great! Super peaceful AND Nice neighborhood

My wife and I had an amazing time over Christmas at James and Alma's cottage.From the beginning they were extremely welcoming and helpful.the cottage was lovely and cosy and perfect for our needs.Our hosts were available for tips and info about the area at any time and provided us with lovely little extras like wine,home-made sauces and mountain-spring water as well as us being welcomed into their home for wonderful coffee.We plan on visiting again in the Spring and we can't wait

Simply amazing, I was able to get in on a last minute booking which I am beyond grateful for. The host was prompt with responding to my emails. During my stay it snowed and the roads were plowed nicely. James cleared the walkway and driveway he also allowed me to use his snow brush to clear off my car. Cottage was nice and clean, fireplace was on when I arrived. The fireplace heated the entire cottage very well. You’ll get 360˚ mountain views. Great experience, I will definitely book with them again. Thank you for making my first experience remarkable.

I left a long-winded rave review that somehow did not show up. So I'm going to leave a short one that I hope is just as good. James and Alma are terrific hosts. They are incredibly generous, kind, and informative. Their cottage is practical, lovely, well-thought out, and perfect for a romantic weekend, a solo business trip, or whatever you need to do in Phoenicia!

We spent a long weekend in this beautiful little cottage and really enjoyed our time. The cottage itself was clean, cute, and cozy. A little propane fireplace was a nice surprise (and really did a great job heating the place up). The kitchen is cute and functional and they have many appliances/pans etc that you would need to make food. We made a pumpkin pie just because. The location was really close to the little town and we had some delicious pancakes at the Sweet Sue's. There's not a lot to do around the area (especially in between seasons) so come prepared for some super relaxation (ie: bring a book). Alma & James were great hosts and even gave us some homemade kombucha!

I spent a lovely two nights here with my wife and 1 year old. James and Alma are great hosts. They were easy to contact for questions prior to the trip and were available for any questions during our stay while still giving us our privacy. The cottage itself is cozy, modern and clean. It was great to sip my morning coffee on the porch and let our daughter explore the yard. We even got to pick a beautiful green pepper from their garden. The main street of Phoenicia is a very short drive away where you will find a few restaurants and shops. The main attraction of course is the beautiful surroundings. We were there during summer and enjoyed some hikes and creek dips in nearby trails. I recommend a stay at Alma and James' cottage. You will have a lovely time.

Alma and James opened their lovely cottage and home to us with open arms. Their property is amazing and a true gem. The Zen Cottage was very well decorated and had everything in the Kitchen that we needed to cook. Their Garden was immaculate and we picked veggies from there to cook. Alma and James are the most gracious of hosts and I will be back with them soon.

The Zen Cottage truly lives up to its name! I had such a relaxing and rejuvenating experience at the Zen cottage. The compound is tranquil and quiet and the cottage itself was the perfect mix of luxury and simplicity. My favorite features were the fireplace and the heated bathroom floor. I look forward to more trips to the Zen Cottage!

Beautiful unit in James and Alma's backyard. Close to great hiking! Highly recommend.

We had a magical weekend at Zen Cottage! It was cozy, clean and very well lit. My boyfriend and I really appreciated cooking together in the well equipped kitchen. The heating in the bathroom was a very nice touch! Alma and James are wonderful hosts, making sure we were very comfortable throughout our stay. When it snowed, they offered us a windshield scraper for our car and sent us off with a jar of delicious, homemade pesto! 5 stars for this place.

We had a wonderful stay at the Zen Cottage. Though we did not get the chance to meet Alma & James in person, they were very accommodating hosts. It was easy to access the apartment and they provided helpful information about where to go in the area. Most importantly, the cottage was a welcoming and cozy place to stay. We enjoyed cooking in the open kitchen and sitting by the fire. It was easy to explore the area, but the spacious, clean, and cozy cottage made it so that we never wanted to leave! It was perfect for our short weekend away. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back again!

An adorable cottage just outside Phoenicia within everything you need for a wonderful weekend getaway. We had a great time relaxing and hiking and hanging by the fire. Thank you for everything!

They have a beautiful Zen cottage with everything you could need. The warmth of the home radiated. Alma and James are there for anything you need too. A great weekend retreat.

The Cottage was was really nice and cozy, just as pictured in the listing. The bathroom was really nice and great to have radiant heated flooring. The cottage was very clean and had plenty of blankets and pillows.

Dara was a great host. Communication was easy, responses quick. Her home and garden are absolutely stunning. The cottage was very clean, everything in working order. I wish we could've stayed longer. Would most definitely stay again, hopefully sooner than later. Thanks, Dara!

Dara and Dave were absolutely wonderful! So helpful and accommodating. I plan on coming back here in the future for the peace and quiet of their lovely backyard and the charm of their home.

My friend and I had the loveliest extended weekend at Dara and dave's. The entire experience/decor/ambiance was amazing. Highly highly recommend for a relaxing weekend upstate.

We were looking for a wintry getaway after the holidays, and our stay here turned out to be EXACTLY what we were looking for. Our hosts, Dara and David, met us when we arrived and were very welcoming. They left coffee, wine and clementines for us. Communicating with them was extremely easy. At one point, we took a long walk in the snow and realized we wouldn't make it back before dark. David graciously came to pick us up. The cabin is cozy and charming. When we left, they even sent us off with homemade butternut squash soup. Couldn't have asked for a more delightful and relaxing way to finish up 2016.

The cottage is the ideal getaway place for those looking for something non-mainstream: cozy, nostalgic, private, and tucked against the backdrop of a memorable outdoor garden space. The garden seems effortless and presents as ethereal, wild, and unmanicured. Dara, is as pleasant and graceful as a host gets. She provided, comfort, nourishment, and privacy, all of which were appreciated. Thank you. And looking forward to returning one day.

My husband and I adored this charming cottage. Perfect spot to come and get away from all your stress and worries. Dana was lovely in making sure we had everything we needed from fresh fruit and flowers to helping us get around town. We felt right at home and would love to come up as much as possible! Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Dara and her husband were amazing! The stay was fantastic. Extremely cozy and stylish cottage. It was close enough to entertainment spots to find things to do quite easily, yet far enough from everything to make for a beautiful romantic getaway. The chipmunks and squirrels made for an almost whimsical stay. The cottage was much more spacious than my girlfriend and I expected. We got to be in a cozy and romantic setting yet had enough space to still do our own thing without getting in each other's way. Dara was extremely helpful and even offered some greens from her lovely garden. The attention to detail is obvious and it's easy to tell a lot of hard work and love went into making this cottage perfect for guests. I would definitely recommend this location to friends and family. Thanks Dara!

Dara was an excellent host! The cottage was wonderful, clean, and close to plenty of restaurants.

I went to Brian's with my husband, cousin and 2 year old son. We had a great experience with Brian. He was so easy to work with and really nice. He was always available to answer any questions about the house or neighborhood. The neighborhood was lovely. The house was very secluded and the soothing sounds of the stream was so peaceful!

We had a wonderful weekend staying at Brian's home. The house itself is impeccably furnished and decorated and the kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped. I also loved the outdoor deck area which has a great grill and overlooks a running stream. Brian was a great host and is very open with communication. I would love to stay at Brian's place again and will definitely be recommending it to my friends.

Wonderful property. Quiet, comfortable, and peaceful. Would love to stay there again.

Brian has created a wonderful haven in the forest. Perfectly appointed, he has designed a cabin that's warm and modern simultaneously. He has also set up the details of maps, travel info, cabin info just right. I'm sure many future guests will treasure their respite here. Thank you Brian!

Brian was super responsive as a host and really generous with us using his space, esp his kitchen. We were two couples and it was just the right size for us. Our favorites were using fully stocked kitchen which we took full advantage of - it's better than our kitchen at home! We loved grilling on the deck. The house is very tastefully furnished with amazing design, and super clean, esp for being a cabin in the woods. The location was really great and convenient. We are already planning our next visit back.

We have just returned from 2 blissfully relaxing nights at Brian's house. Brian was a wonderful host, immediately responsive and very accommodating. The house is secluded with beautiful mountain, forest and stream views. The main bedroom feels like a treehouse. The kitchen was very well-equipped and the whole house is beautifully decorated. We loved the cozy fire, smart TV, and the many art books filling the living room shelves. We can't wait to come back!

We had a lovely stay. The house was cozy, well decorated & clean. Very attentive & accommodating host. Scenic & quiet lot.

Brian's home is a wonderful place to stay in the Catskills. It is extremely cozy, charming, clean (and well-equipped), and peaceful. The property is adjacent to the Esopus River, a tributary of which runs through the house's backyard. It is conveniently located just minutes from the town of Phoenicia, and from many other nearby towns and regional attractions (hiking, skiing, restaurants, etc.). There is a great deck and fire pit in the backyard, and a lovely view of the nearby mountains. Brian is extremely helpful and responsive, and was in touch from the moment we booked the house through the weekend we stayed there. We would strongly recommend this listing to others!

Stephanie is a very thoughtful and pleasant host. Communication was great. Simply lovely little space to relax and appreciate a taste of nature. Stephanie provided a jar of local artisan water which is quite a treat for a city slicker. Thank you Stephanie for a lovely stay. I definitely would choose to stay here again if I am ever in that area.

Stephanie and Protus are excellent hosts and I strongly recommend their place! They are very attentive, generous and have a very good energy, just like the place, which is beautiful and surrounded by nature. We were constantly provided with fresh water, delicious coffee, tea and care. The place is also located in a good spot next to a bunch of trails (better if you have a car) and it's possible to hear the sound an inspiring river closeby.

What a great place! Absolutely loved the creek across the street.

Easy check in and gracious hosts. Lots of nice touches in the place, and you can tell they care about giving their guests a comfortable and pleasant stay. No cell phone service with Verizon, so make sure to print the details and directions! :)

I stayed at Stephanie's one evening when I was traveling for a work trip. It was easy to communicate with her before my arrival. She provided all of the pertinent info in advance. I slept well and was really comfortable.

Staying at Stephanie's place was great - best night sleep we had in days on our trip. Cozy, charming, clean space, she provided much appreciated coffee and spring water, and even came over to check on us when we had car troubles beforehand! Overall excellent

Stephanie and Protus have an AMAZING place. The studio has two beds but can easily host 4 people ( which is what we did). This is a family house with beautiful / well behaved kids, so no need to worry about them if kids are not your thing! Personally I loved interacting with them for the time I was there. If you have the time during your stay I would encourage you to Socialize with your host as they're very informed about the area and from my experience can greatly improve your trip if they have the time! Also please visit the water steam across the street it's a great way to start your day! Thanks so much Stephanie and Protus hope to come back!

Stephanie's place was wonderful! I enjoyed staying there and hiking around. Thank you!

A beautiful and serene small town getaway. The accommodation is a little converted shed in the backyard of the host's main house. It is beautifully appointed, with amazingly comfortable bed and top-of-the-line sofa. There is a bathroom in the unit with a small sink and an interesting toilet that worked fine during our stay. There is a little outdoor shower attached to the shed. The whole things is surrounded by a fenced in yard with veggies and flowers. Next door is a farm so we were visited by the little goats! All told one of the best AirBnB experiences I've had.

Very much enjoyed our stay at Stefania's place in Phoenicia. The town is very charming and in close proximity to plenty of shopping and outdoor activities and restaurant options. My partner and I were the first guests to stay in this room - it is a single room detached home and is next to the main house. Very tastefully decorated (the host is an interior designer), and the bed is very comfortable. A glamping experience. Included an outdoor shower, and a dry toilet. Guests have access to a private spot next to the river, which we found to be a great amenity during our stay. Overall an enjoyable experience and Stefania was very accommodating!

tl;dr Great Alternative to Graham & Co. Stefania's place was just as advertised. Great design sensibility and fantastic location. Dry Toilet and Outdoor Shower were totally fine and not inconveniences at all. Stefania was extremely communicative and very hospitable. About a mile to downtown Phoenicia--easily bikeable. Would highly recommend as a stylish alternative to the aforementioned hip hotel, as I'm sure you tried to book there already and it's full. Tangentially related: 1) I did not get to interact with any goats on this trip, but I did feed the cows a few apples. They are friendly, but boy are they dumb. 2) Don't just fall into the trap of going to Phoenicia Diner, which is great, or Tubing down the river. Get a reservation at Peekamoose Restaurant which was absolutely fantastic, and go do a Whiskey tasting at Tuthilltown Distillery. Also go to Meadows Golf Center for minigolf, driving range, BBQ, and a great 9 hole course suitable for beginners.

Stefania's cottage is amazing. She has exquisite taste and it shows in all the details. The house itself is truly picture perfect and was very well appointed for our weekend stay. I'll definitely miss my new friends, the cows and goats, who were super friendly and curious. The locations is great--a five minute walk into town and maybe half an hour to surrounding hikes/towns/mountains. It's easy to miss if you're coming at night, and no cell reception whatsoever, but the (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps were all correct to the house. I highly recommend staying here. Stefania was available and friendly, but not overwhelming, and the cottage itself is so gorgeous it almost makes it hard to go out and explore.

stefanias cabin was as cute as the pictures and more. tucked away on a hill with lots of charm. my lady and i stayed 2 nights and were very happy with the accommodations. cozy and quiet.. exactly what we wanted. the main street of phoenica is a 5 minute walk. great restaurants very close by. can't wait to go back.

Stephania's bungalow was the perfect place to stay for exploring the Catskills and beyond. It was immaculate and exactly as advertised. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a mountain getaway.

The bungalow itself is great and the location is perfect for a stay in the Catskills. Phoenicia is a 5 minute walk away and has a few restaurants and basic groceries/convenience store. It's also not far from the main road so you have quick access to nearby towns, hiking, and attractions. The creek is beautiful and access is convenient from the property. Stefania's yard is also beautifully landscaped so it was nice to just sit out and enjoy while watching the turkeys and goats next door (and meeting the dogs). The bungalow has everything you need and was immaculately clean and just as pictured. The outdoor shower ended up being a highlight of the stay - great temperature and water pressure. Stefania was a great host. Very communicative and helpful and she had good suggestions on where to eat and things to do.

It was great to spend the weekend at this property. The fresh air that gets in from early morning is so refreshing! The goats and the calves do get curious and seem to come by to say hi! There is a fence that keeps them on the other side though. It was nice to hear the animals bleat for a bit in the morning as I enjoyed my cup of tea. Also amazing was the short walk to the river side. It was so calm and serene, I enjoyed reading on the hammock over there. As also mentioned by the other reviewer, it is a single room detached home, few steps away from the main house. It has an outside shower. The room itself is bright, fresh and comfortable. It has a small fridge, coffee maker and microwave oven as well. The wifi works well. The town is close by and has shops and a few restaurants as well. Phoenicia Diner is a short driving distance and I enjoyed driving around to some other great restaurants in the catskills. Stephania is a great host, very responsive and caring. The place has a nice vibe. Overall, my stay was great and I see myself staying there on some of my future trips too.

Brooke and Jeff were wonderful hosts, their property is beautiful and the space is just as advertised (if not better)! The outdoor amenities cannot be beat. Their lawn (if it can even be called that - it's more like a well-manicured field) provides hours of entertainment (baseball, volleyball, ladder ball, etc), the fire pit is great for a bonfire and their garden is ripe for the picking (literally). They are minutes away from town (very easy to walk to) and across the street from the creek. Their was a short period of time where we didn't have hot water, but I only bring this up to point out how on top of it Brooke and Jeff were - they alerted us to the issue in the late evening, and by 9:30 AM the next day it was fixed. Will definitely be visiting again. Can't wait!

Brooke was an amazing host. She and her husband were extremely attentive and responsive and we had a great time running our puppy with theirs. The apartment was spacious and nicely decorated and the kitchen well appointed. Would definitely come back!

Brooke and Jeff could not have been more hospitable! It was a true pleasure staying at their home and we will certainly return:

We went up for a wedding in Phoenicia at the nearby Graham & Co. hotel, and Brooke & Jeff's place was perfectly situated next door. The house was a perfect mix of outdoor/country and comfortable modernity with a nice little porch for sitting and relaxing while the rains dump down on the open yard. Would have loved to have spent a few more days just lazing around and reading with coffee..

The Glass Mountain Inn was just what we were hoping for - it was quiet, relaxing and just the perfect place for us to step into married life together (we were here on a mini-honeymoon immediately following our wedding). We enjoyed playing badminton in the yard, hanging on the hamocks, sipping coffee on the back porch and watching a thunderstorm roll by while hanging on the front porch rocking chair. It was also super sweet to just hang around the house, watch some netflix, spin some vinyl... A dream really. We can't wait to come back. Highly recommended.

Glass Mountain Inn is a great place to unwind. The apartment is quirky and comfortable. The back yard is vast and is a great feature. The back porch of the apartment overlooks it, and we had several relaxing meals there.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely weekend away at Glass Mountain Inn, Brooke and Jeff were lovely, welcoming and very attentive. The Marvar Suite is wonderfully decorated and Brooke and Jeff were even kind enough to leave us a bottle of wine and the best fresh baked bread I have ever tasted on our arrival!! I am looking forward to coming back and experiencing what Phoenicia has to offer in the Summer and I would definitely stay with Jeff and Brooke again, they are an extremely friendly family.

Really nice space with tons of room both inside and outside. Lovely and relaxing yard and porches. I did not avail myself to all of the amenities but it was great to know that they were there. Excellent location is short walk to town and drive to other attractions in the area. Lovely and communicative hosts. Looking forward to staying at GMI in the future.

The Tree Tops is a fantastic place to stay and it is hard not to gush when reviewing it. Miles has created an amazing retreat in an environment that is fitting for such a building. There is loads of natural light and warm space. We stayed there for a music camp at Full Moon Resort, it is 30 seconds from driveway to driveway and we felt that we had the best accommodations with in 20 miles. Miles and Josh have thought of everything, we were in need of nothing. The kitchen is fully equipped including a gas range and oven there are two different ways to make coffee and a fridge where we found all the condiments needed. There were enough spices to create a gourmet meal and Josh brought by farm fresh eggs and cream and some artisan bread. The beds are amazing in both rooms, the room in the loft has two adjustable, memory foam twins that convert to a king. There are plenty of windows and even on the hottest day, the air-condition wasn't needed (there is a nice unit if needed) There are porches on two sides, one for sun catching and one for shade. We spent a great deal of our time on the porch, Lovely. I can easily and whole heartedly recommend Miles's Tree Top home and I hope to stay there again...soon! Thanks Miles~ Dave

Nice place for a quick weekend get away. Saw a bunch of deer. Took some nice hikes by water. Peaceful and quiet.

Miles's place is wonderful. Beautiful home and construction, very comfy beds, LOTS of windows, very quiet with only the dim sound of the occasional car, great kitchen, extremely close to two great hikes and not far from tons of other Catskills hikes. Miles and Josh were super helpful, responsive and even dropped off some breakfast supplies. We had an awesome weekend- highly recommend staying here and we would definitely come back. If you're considering staying here, just do it- you won't regret it!

Miles' place was absolutely wonderful, and he and Josh were extremely helpful and accommodating. The upstairs loft area was simply stunning.

When looking for a home in the Catskills, the first and only review for this home said: "Can't stress how spectacular this home is." At first, I was like "yeah, okay, over-exaggeration" but the pictures were nice so I booked it with 3 other friends. Sure enough, this place is spectacular. When you first drive up, all the lights were on, ready for us, and the house looked like a castle on a hill. Totally isolated by nature, we got exactly what we were looking for. Once you get inside, the pictures did not do it justice - there is as much window as wall, and therefore staying here is almost like you're staying outside in the woods (there are curtains of course to block morning sunlight so you can sleep in a bit). Miles and the caretaker Josh were eager to make us comfortable and helped with hiking suggestions, and made sure we had basic provisions. The house is totally new construction, so everything is clean, modern and works. Note that there is one queen and two twin beds pushed together. If you're looking to get away in the Catskills, I would absolutely recommend this spot - you won't be disappointed.

Our stay at Mile's cabin was great! It was such a perfect place to escape the city for a couple days, and was only a few miles away from some of the best hikes in the catskills. Don't miss doing the 2.7mile hike up to the top of slide mountain, it was really a treat.

Great stay! Close to Full Moon Resort, conveinant for wedding guests.

The house is a really beautiful retreat, and the hosts were very helpful.

We had such a wonderful time. Rannie was extremely kind and helpful.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This was our first trip to the Catskills and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay than at Ragnhild's cabin. It was cozy, spacious and the location was perfect (just up the hill from Phoenicia, close to town but felt isolated in the mountains). The hot tub was a perfect touch, and we were able to enjoy listening to the cicadas under the stars on the porch. The apartment was clean, and access was simple. This was the easiest/smoothest AirBnb we've rented so far. Thank you!

Great place for a getaway. Went there for a few days to get away from the city and get some peace and quiet. That's exactly what I got. Check in was incredibly easy. Rannie was there to greet me and my friend and give us an overview of the space and the nuances to the lighting, hot tub and fireplace (which is all incredibly easy to use). On the way out they were installing a BRAND NEW HOT TUB!! Wish I could have extended my stay a bit longer to experience, but the old hot tub was great already, so i can only imagine how nice it's gonna be for the next guests. The house and grounds/view were much better in person. The house is a pretty large size. There were board games and card games available if you wanted to play. There were also some puzzles. The amenities in the kitchen were more than enough for me and my friend to cook every night while we were there. Rannie left some orange juice in the fridge, which was a nice touch. Overall i thought the place was pretty great and recommend if you really wanna get some quiet and look at an amazing view of the mountains. Warning: There's a lot of bugs and horse flies so make sure you're bringing a lot of bug spray. They were never really much of an issue when we were sitting on the deck, just worth mentioning.

Exactly as advertised, beautiful location, great house. At first was taken aback by lack of cell service, but they had wifi and a landline if needed and I I enjoyed turning my phone off.

Beautiful getaway in the mountains. A very well maintained, cozy and inviting home. We didn't spend much time indoors since the surrounding area is awesome, but we had a very comfortable night. A soak in the hot tub under the stars was a perfect way to end the day. Thank you Rannie!

Our stay was amazing at this beautiful and comfortable cabin. Every corner of the cabin has a soul that made us feel home, welcomed and relaxed. The location is great, everything is convenient and best of all, you can watch the stars at night in your bathtub right on the terrace. We'll definitely come to this place again.

We had such a great stay! It's a wonderful house in a great location. Hikes, restaurants, peace and quiet, a hot tub, and a very kind host. I'd recommend it highly and hope to come back soon.

Alma greeted us on arrival and gave us an introduction and tour of the studio. The Esopus studio is comfortable and charming. The rushing waters of the Esopus creek nearby made our stay quiet and restful. We met James later on in our visit. Both are friendly and willing to give their guests as much or as little help as they need. We were in NY for a workshop that was held in Woodstock and Kingston, so the Studio gave us a base for easy access to both. We had never been to this part of NY, and found it quite beautiful. The town of Phoenicia is within easy walking distance. Breakfast on the screened porch was a highlight of every day.

We had an amazing short stay. Everything about the location and house is perfection. Alma is an absolutely wonderful host. Will certainly try to return in the future!

Alma and James were perfect hosts. The studio was immaculate and was filled with everything a guest for hope for. We really enjoyed using the fire pit one evening. James made sure we had everything we needed including kindling and an unlimited amount of firewood. We will definitely be back in the future!

The Esopus Studio was cute and cozy, just perfect for my visit. I especially loved the gas fireplace. The location was great for access to the mountain trails and the city of Phoenicia. I really appreciated the wireless Internet connection too. All in all, a very pleasant stay in a beautiful part of the country, especially during the fall color tour season.

Alma and James made everything so convenient and were very welcoming. We had plenty of privacy but knew they were there if we needed anything. The studio was cozy and warm, we loved it! There was plenty of room for two and a nice little back porch. They had great recommendations on where to go and what to do. We will definitely be back!

We had a great 2-night stay at Alma and James Esopus studio. Although we never met with them, they made us feel very comfortable and at home at their place. The studio is well thought out and planned. The location is great and we would love to come back and stay next time we are in the area.

What can we say? Beautiful, quiet setting. Organic garden at our doorstep. Gorgeous night sky. Gracious and caring hosts. We loved our stay.

We couldn't have been happier for a long weekend spot! Alma and James were so friendly and accommodating. This is a destination we'd suggest to just about anyone - Kyle and Connor

Sylvia was very welcoming and friendly. I felt at home right away. The apartment is even better than the pictures. It is clean, accommodating, very comfortable and relaxing. Being close to Phoenicia and a short drive to Woodstock, it is in a private, beautiful area. I would have loved to stay longer and will definitely be back!

Great place for the single traveler. Comfortable bed, and clean. Property is really pretty, as well as the surrounding area. Ken was a great host. Highly recommended.

Lovely little suite for one. All very clean and cosy with homely finishes. I did not have a car but Ken kindly dropped me into the nearest town in the morning. I had a lovely stay.

Comfortable cozy space with great hosts enjoyed my stay

The accommodations were absolutely beautiful, and Ken was a terrific host. He was very gracious even though I arrived an hour and a half later than anticipated. The bed is a double, so it is only an ideal accommodation for a single guest. I was attending a wedding at the Foxfire Mountain House, which was only a five minute drive, so it was perfect. Thank you, Ken!

Great place if you have an event at Foxfire mountain house, only minutes away. Perfect place for a single traveler. Friendly hosts.

I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet of the woods all around, miles away from a town since I grew up in the area but I hadn't considered that there wouldn't be any cell phone connection. I was glad to have wifi. If only the Phoenicia Diner were open Sundays I could have eaten there everyday. Better than the average diner food. Take time to have a conversation with Ken. It's an interesting life he's built on the property. The rooms are comfortable and private and I'd definitely consider staying there next time I'm in the Woodstock area.

This is very nice little place for a single person. Your "suite" is in the back of the main house, which is one of several buildings. Lots of trees. A pleasant setting on a lovely country road. Just as pictured. It's a twin bed, so there's really only room for one. The owner is a very friendly guy with some amazing musical instruments to show you. I stayed here one night while in the Catskills for a weekend retreat. Would definitely stay again.

Great location and cozy place. Thanks for having us!

Judith was a great host, helping set us up in our quiet little cottage in Phoenicia. We had a great escape from city life, eating great food downtown, going tubing on the not-so-lazy river rapids, and enjoying the quiet neighborhood sights. Talk to locals and find some watering holes in the nearby creeks! Thanks again, Judith!

Judith's place was charming, cozy, clean and comfortable. It has a great kitchen if you're looking to self cater, is in the perfect location and was so easy to get to via transport and without a care. Judith was a very generous and thoughtful host with snacks in the kitchen, clean linen and towels and plenty of them. Highly recommend!

Judith was a great host. We had absolutely no cell service so we couldn't let her know that our bus was a bit late, but she was waiting with her car at the stop anyways, to drive us to the cottage. We were greeted with a delicious Lagunitas beer which was also a very nice touch. The cottage was about a 15 minute walk from Main street which was perfect. Thanks again! we had a great time.

Amazing stay! Very cozy cabin and was given a choice of a electric fireplace or to utilize the firewood fireplace. There's a small creek behind the cabin. We were close to a small diner and other restaurants.

The place was even better than expected--charming and clean and comfortable. Suzanne was lovely and this place is a great find!

It really is a cozy cottage filled with light in a great location and close to town. Suzanne was the perfect host. We took the bus into town and she picked us up and we were relaxing in the cottage in no time :)

Great place to stay! We would have loved to spend more time there! Cozy cabin, nice, clean, well equipped kitchen, coffee included, great location, fresh flowers on the table, very welcoming host! Happy to recommend to others!

Suzanne has the utmost care for her cabin and it shows! Our group fell in love with the quaintness and cleanliness of it. Suzanne's warm and thorough welcome left us with no questions and a sense of comfort. Loved having a code lock to enter the home and not worrying about keys! She was close by if anything was needed, but also gave us the space to enjoy. The pull out futon is very comfortable and with four guests, we were cozy and not crowded at all. Coffee on the covered porch or back open deck was a must every morning! Suzanne is flexible and cares deeply about your stay, she is one I will go back and visit!!

Great cottage where we stayed for 3 nights. The host Suzanne is very kind.

If you are looking for a quiet get away in the Catskills then look no further. Beautiful and modern inside with a choice of screened in porch and back deck for lounging. Located close proximity to some great hikes (we did Mt Wittenberg) in addition to great local restaurants including the Phoenicia Diner. Would definitely stay again.

Best place I've stayed in then Hudson Valley. Great location for hiking and exploring. Having the river accessible by backyard trail didn't hurt a bit. Suzanne was an amazing host. The house was super clean and stylish. Cooked a great dinner on the back porch grill, looked at stars afterward, and then had a dvd movie night. Perfect.

Lisa and Kevin were wonderful and friendly hosts. Beautifully constructed and decorated space with serene outdoor spaces - the brook across the street was incredible and we had it all to ourselves. The waterfall and swimming hole was also luckily sparse due to the timing and we were able to swim and laze around. It was a perfect quiet, relaxing getaway from the city and we hope to return at some point soon!

Great carriage house off the beaten path with both a vintage and modern feel. Lots of space, lots of peace and quiet. Lisa and Kevin were amazing with communication and recommendations for places nearby, including hiking just a couple miles down the road. Definitely recommend staying here and will hopefully return soon!

Beautifully decorated home in a fabulous location. The house is pristine and really comfortable. Lisa and Kevin are very nice and easy to deal with. They also gave us great tips of the area. We will definitely come back!

This house is great, and it's much larger than the photos suggest. It was very clean, and well-stocked with kitchen supplies and firewood. If you're looking for some privacy in the Catskills, I would definitely recommend it.

We loved our stay at the carriage house, which was impeccably furnished and private, and Lisa and Kevin were the absolute dream hosts. We would go back in a heartbeat. Perfect for a single, couple or two couples (or small family). Be sure to go across the street to check out the beautiful creek and rock you can perch on. And the hammock!!

Loved Lisa's carriage house. It is beautifully renovated, with hand made wooden furniture, and has everything to make your stay cozy and comfortable. The area is amazing, you can hear the river across the road. It's a quick drive to hiking trails, Woodstock, basically the perfect location for a Catskills stay. Lisa was a great host, very responsive and helpful. Her two border collies were adorable.

We had a fantastic stay, the carriage house is wonderfully peaceful, clean and close to lots of hikes, waterfalls and Woodstock. As in previous reviews the pictures don't do it justice! Lisa was a wonderful host so helpful and even gives you a all the info for things to do in the area. Highly recommend, thank you Lisa!

We had a great visit! The space was welcoming and the location was fantastic. Looking forward to returning sometime...

Kerry is hands down one of the best hosts around. First, his cottage is absolutely lovely and located in a very central location in a small town. The overall decor of the studio is gorgeous, with a splendid shower and skylight. The hot tub had just broken down on our check-in day but Kerry went above and beyond to compensate for the broken tub by offering my girlfriend and I a day pass to the nearby Emerson Resort and Spa. He's very responsive! We had a great time with the local hikes and excursions and definitely are looking to come back in the summer! 5 stars! (Just a heads up there is little to no cellphone service in the neighborhood).

This place is perfect for a getaway either only for a weekend or longer. I was here with my husband for our wedding anniversary and we loved the cottage. We had complete privacy. The house is situated right in downtown so we could simply walk to all the restaurants, shops etc. The hot-tub was already warm when we came so we enjoyed that as well. Since it was winter and very cold we couldnt go for trekking but we will definitely plan another trip so that we can explore the area.

Kerry's cottage was the perfect getaway for us! My wife and I went up to celebrate her birthday and wanted something quiet, comfortable and picturesque. We got all of that and more form Kerry's place. It was clean, well-equipped with all of the little things that make a stay even more comfortable. From extra blankets, to Q-tips, to wine glasses and even a very nice jacuzzi. We were very happy with our stay and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away and just disconnect from it all for a little bit.

Such a beautiful place! Really enjoyed the hiking nearby and the food at Tavern 24 and the pancake spot were delicious and so close by ! Would love to come back and already planning the next getaway.

Kerry's cottage was beautiful! It was the perfect place to relax after a long day of hiking and a romantic location to celebrate our engagement. It felt secluded, but was within walking distance of a small market, which was very convenient. Kerry was very responsive to our needs and a wonderful host! I would definitely book with him again!

Kerry's cottage was the perfect backdrop for a relaxing few days on our honeymoon. We loved every little detail from the many windchimes to the rock-layered floor of the shower. The bed was incredibly comfortable and cozy (as good if not better than the bed at the Marriott we had stayed at the night before in NYC!). Kerry went above and beyond to make us comfortable and we truly enjoyed the little town of Phoenicia. Highly recommend staying with Kerry!!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The cottage is cozy, well kept, perfectly appointed and we loved looking up to that beautiful ceiling. We could not have been more comfortable. It was particularly cold the weekend we visited but the heat in the cottage was more than enough, as was the hot water (which is most important when coming from the cold). The hot tub was icing on the cake. Kerry was really responsive before and during our stay, as well as accommodating when we got snowed in and needed to extend our trip. The best place to be stranded, by the way! The burgers are great at Brio’s, just a two minute walk away. The supermarket is always open (even in a blizzard) and the everyone we encountered I town was super friendly. The is the perfect little getaway and I hope this was just the first of many weekend trips to this adorable cottage in Phoenicia!

Thanks Kerry! Great spot for relaxation!

The listing was accurate. This is an amazing and cozy cabin, very clean and very warm. There is a warm breakfast nook, and an awesome fireplace. Nicholas is flexible and understanding. I HIGHLY recommend staying here.

My favorite thing about this place is that affords plenty of privacy but without being too isolating. The location is perfect - far enough into the Catskills that you feel like you're getting away, but just a few minutes away from a few great restaurants, essential services, and all the best Catskill activities. And not even 20 minutes away from Woodstock if you need a proper town. The "back yard" is the Catskills park, and it's far enough from any roads. We brought our dog and it was perfect for him to be able to walk out the door and have a walk in the woods without worrying about cars. I stayed a whole month, working remotely. The internet service was extremely fast and was never interrupted.

Nicholas was a great host, communicated almost instantly and made us feel like if we needed anything he was willing to oblige. His cabin is quaint and located in a perfect spot. Close enough to nature, Phoenicia and Woodstock, and also secluded enough that you feel you're living a real cabin lifestyle.

Great location and Nicholas was pleasant to deal with. The house is fairly basic and could use some updating in certain areas, but overall a good deal.

It was nice to be in a secluded area where my dog was welcome and the fireplace kept us very warm. The place could use some sprucing up and unfortunately when I reached out to Nicholas and his caretaker to ask about firewood neither of them was responsive.

Having travelled extensively, I must say, Nicholas's cabin is located in one of the most beautiful places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting.. Truly, "location location location".. We were absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of beauty in the area, starting with just looking out the window of the cabin every morning! The cabin was so adorably cozy, and so cutely decorated- we immediately felt right at home! The living room in particular, with the pretty fireplace and super comfy couches! The excellent hardwood floors were another bonus! Our only complaint, which is not within Nicholas's control of course, was that we didn't have any phone service in the cabin (Verizon).. However, if you're looking for a true "getaway"- this could actually be a benefit! That being said, the Internet was faster than mine at home! Overall, really nice trip and so glad we went!

Looking forward to a relaxing winter weekend and that's exactly what we got in Nicks cabin. It's was minimally furnished with only interesting pieces, a very comfy couch and a view from the windows of the amazing Catskills forest. The kitchen was quaint, the living room relaxing and bedrooms restfull. This was the perfect Catskills getaway. Nick was always responsive and couldn't ask for a better host

Great stay cozy little cabin in the woods!
