About this property

Fabulous cozy farmhouse on a Hudson Valley mountaintop

Woodmoor House, a beautifully appointed farmhouse from 1865 in the Historic District of the hamlet of Cragsmoor, sits atop a bluff nearly 2000 feet above sea level with stunning views of Hudson Valley, just minutes from Sam’s Point Preserve on Shawangunk Ridge and nature trails. A short trip from NYC, you will find plenty of activities for outdoor enthusiasts: hiking, biking, cross country skiing, rock climbing, golf and swimming holes. And for those who prefer indoor activity: a haven for thrifting and antiquing.

This sprawling house has been renovated to include the beauty and charm of its original design of open family living, and is ready to accommodate big groups to settle in and relax. Have your coffee in the morning sun on the southern patio, then take a stroll through the gorgeous Cragsmoor Historic District to admire all the beautiful homes that make this mountaintop hamlet so unique.

Sitting on a bit over an acre, the house has six bedrooms; five with queen beds and one with bunk beds each with a mountain or meadow view. Four of the bedrooms are on the second floor and one is on the ground floor that may accommodate those who cannot negotiate stairs. The finished attic has a large common area with two single beds and a full bedroom with a queen bed and ensuite powder room. The large master suite has a deck overlooking the mountains. A large, farmhouse-style-yet-modern kitchen has a bay window with mountain ridge views,  keeping it bright and light-filled.  The kitchen counter, complete with stools, and large sectional offer sitting space for family and guests to keep company while sipping coffee over breakfast, as well as a large, round, eat-in kitchen table. The kitchen is totally stocked with everything you’ll need for preparing large family meals including Instant Pot, Kitchen Aid stand mixer, hand mixer, salad spinner, pancake griddle, panini/waffle maker, food processor, cookie sheets, pie pans, slicers, dicers, etc. plus oils, spices, sugar, flour, etc.  The dining room has a 9-foot table that can accommodate 12 seated guests, with a view of the meadow, and candle-lit chandeliers.

The large living room with its cozy seating,  includes a wood-burning fireplace and a large projection TV to enjoy a movie or your latest Netflix binge.

Outside is a Weber gas grill and an 8-foot picnic table with umbrella for outdoor dining along with Adirondack chairs, plenty of folding lawn chairs and a fire pit. There are three electric bicycles available for guests' use. Helmets and instructions are provided but guests use these bicycles at their own risk. The summer nights can be quite cool on the mountain so bring warm clothing.

Dogs are welcome. 💜

NOTE: Bunk beds have safety bars that should always be used for anyone sleeping on the top bunk. Failure to use is at guests' own risk.

We stayed here for two nights with a group of 12 for my wedding weekend, and it was absolutely perfect! The place was clean, spacious, and beautifully kept. It had everything we needed — the kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of towels and essentials were provided, and there was more than enough room for everyone to relax comfortably. The host was responsive and friendly, and check-in was super easy. It was the perfect home base for such a special weekend we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Highly recommend for large groups or anyone looking for a comfortable and well-equipped getaway.

Perfection!

This place was incredible! It's cozy, clean, and had a great historic feel. We hosted a group of adult students for a program nearby and this was a great place for them to unwind after a day of class and get to know each other, while also having independent space. Jeff was so helpful and available to answer any questions as they arose. He was flexible and friendly; the kitchen was stocked. We definitely hope to return!

Great for family gatherings!

We rang in the new year here with a large group - adults, kids, and dogs - and the house was wonderful. Everything is well stocked and thoughtfully laid out and labeled. “Cozy” here isn’t a real estate euphemism; the decor and overall feel is very warm and comfortable. The kids (ages 5 to 9) had a great time with all of the kids books, movies, and dress up outfits provided. I imagine this experience really shines in the warmer months, but don’t pass up on a winter stay!

Everything about this experience was top notch from the first message with the property owner to the last. The location was even better than described. Everything was perfect. All the little touches really made a difference. Heated bathroom floors, cute toilet paper rolls, lots of games, and electric bikes. We can’t wait to go back and visit again soon.

Great Getaway

Stayed here as four families (including 5 kids under 6) for New Year. The house was just as described/pictured, comfortable and beautiful. Really well laid out with lots of communal space. Great amenities, and everything was well labeled, so easy to find. Seems like a nice quiet area, any neighbors while outside saw were very friendly. The stone church and overlook down the road were an exciting bonus. Host was very responsive and very generous. Would highly recommend a stay here!

What a fantastic stay!

Our family loved everything about this house. It is the perfect combination of old meets new. The location is in a secluded area; however, just a short drive to everything you need. The house was spotless and very comfortable. Do not hesitate to book....this is a true gem. Jeff was fantastic to work with, very responsive, and his hospitality was second to none. We would not hesitate to book again!

Loved the house, it was fully stocked. Enjoyed hanging out by the fireplace with family. Cooked with ease, I didn't have to search for any cooking apparatus. When we went out to eat we went to Aroma Thyme Bistro and Gaby's. Jeff communicated really well with me. I would definetley rent again, and don't forget to visit Sam's Point.

Wonderful Fall Weekend Getaway with Friends!

Jeff's place is a gem! The entire house gives a historic cabin vibe while being fully remodeled, but keeping the same charm. The kitchen is one of the most well stocked kitchens I have ever seen. I think there were more spices and ingredients than my own kitchen has! Our group of 11 had a wonderful time eating together at the long table and sitting in the living room relaxing. We took advantage of the speakers and projector. The neighborhood is so quiet and friendly. The views are stunning especially from Stone Church and Sam's Point. We also enjoyed using the e-bikes. Our stay was amazing, we just wish we had more time to enjoy the lovely amenities at the cabin!

Mini Family Vacation

I would describe the Woodmoor House as old meets new with a funky groove. Woodmoor has plenty of room to spread out. Our family of 12 gathered in all of the spaces, but the kitchen seemed to be the favorite. How many homes have a sectional couch in the kitchen? The house has many unique features throughout. The weather was a bit uncooperative, however we were able to fit a hike to Sam’s Point Preserve, corn hole competition and grilling/eating on the back deck in between rain showers. There was plenty to do inside if we had to stay inside. The Bose stereo system and piano are a bonus for music lovers. Both got their use. Bedrooms and beds are comfortable. Everything about the house is comfortable and cozy. You’ll find everything you need. We highly recommend Jeff’s home. He is very accommodating, in touch and available. Jeff and his home will not disappoint.

Fantastic Rental for Large Groups! Cozy, comfortable and well stocked

I rented this home for my 30th bday with family and friends (11 total) and we had a blast and we were so comfortable over a long weekend. Jeff, the host, was extremely helpful and answered as many questions as I needed. He even reached out with best driving routes, nearby grocery and liquor store options, and hikes/ things to do in the area. This house is WELL stocked with everything, hands down the best rental I've ever stayed in. We had no trouble finding all cooking supplies we would ever need, and we make everything from scratch. My brothers and I cooked 4 large meals while there and it was like cooking in my own home. There's even a couch and table in the kitchen so its not closed off and easier for others to help. Plenty of silverware, mixing bowls, serving platters and real stainless pots and pans (not the cheap kind rentals typically have). The ice machine was a huge plus for a group this large, as was the 2nd fridge in the basement. Well stocked in spices, salts, cooking oils, s'mores supplies and even some things in the fridge like mayo that are annoying to buy for one weekend. Sleeping arrangements were great, all of the mattresses were newer and a comfortable but supportive memory foam. Clean sheets and plenty of extra blankets and pillows within the home. Plenty of room for 11+ to sleep comfortably. The outdoor space was lovely. THREE renovated patios with new/ clean lounge chairs, picnic tables and a grill, one is even attached to a bedroom. We spent a lot of time on the one right off the kitchen. Lots of chairs for a late night fire too (though we did bring some extra camp chairs and ended up using them for a group this big) The house is beautifully decorated, set up for many cozy hangs and lots of interesting books, art, games, little surprises and so many thoughtful details. You can tell Jeff truly cares about his guests experience and has gone the extra mile to make them feel at home and comfortable. We truly wanted for nothing over this trip. The photos don't do this property justice, I have rented a lot of houses upstate NY and this was the only one I have stayed at where no one had any complaints! Its nestled right between Ellenville and Mountainedale, both very cute small towns. We ate Dinner nearby at Hoot Owl which was absolutely incredible food for service and flavors, and another meal at The Dale one night Thank you Jeff for an unforgettable stay. Would highly recommend this home and the host.

Outstanding!

This lovely home has all the amenities we could possibly have wanted, plus historic charm and a cozy feel. While the owner’s possessions were definitely stashed out of the way, you can tell someone really lives here and knows how to make things comfortable, for example, the cabinet of games and puzzles, extra lounging pillows, and candles for the dining table. We had 11 adults, 2 young children and a baby there for a family Thanksgiving get-together. There were plenty of spaces for being together like in the huge kitchen, large dining area and living room with a nice fireplace supplied with plenty of wood. There are also plenty of private spaces to retreat to with the 6+ spacious, comfortable, and attractive bedrooms. The weather was cold so we didn’t spend much time on the two decks and balcony, but they were nice to be able step out on to see birds at the feeders or the stars at night. The third floor bedroom suite was perfect for our young couple with the baby. We did all our own cooking and, as promised in the description, the kitchen had everything we needed including a large roasting pan for the turkey and a Kitchen Aid mixer. Jeff, our host, is incredibly generous in providing all the staples you need and then some! He was very responsive to questions via Vrbo messaging and texting. We also had two small dogs and took walks to Stone Church multiple times, and to Bear Hill, as suggested in the information book in the house. There are too many positive features and extra touches to mention them all, but to summarize, we were more than satisfied and would definitely recommend Woodmoor House!

Perfect Getaway

The house and property are lovely. We saw wild dear, humming birds, and so much more just from the back yard. We were within walking distance of several beautiful trails and the towns near by had some great restaurants. It's also near the Angry Orchard Brewery. Jeff kept the place well stocked, was prompt when we had questions, and was happy to make suggestions about places to go and eat. The house was clean, easy to navigate, and spacious while still feeling like a home. The outdoor space (patio and yard) was well maintained and simply beautiful. I would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Woodward

Host profile image
I bought this unique historic house at the end of 2018 with the plan to offer it as a part-time rental. I live with my 14yo daughter in NYC and love to escape to the mountains.

Why they chose this property

Cragsmoor is a quiet beautiful little spot on top of a mountain ridge. There is no commerce, just nature and a huge beautiful old house to enjoy with family and friends.

What makes this property unique

Unlike full-time rental properties that have bare minimum furnishings and supplies, Woodmoor House is my second home and is fully loaded with everything necessary for hosting large groups of friends and family.
