This is a really beautiful property with very cool amenities. The hot tub and fire pit were awesome nighttime activities, as was the music studio. All the beds were very comfy, kitchen was well stocked, and the speakers are great to listen to music on. The location is nicely situated between Woodstock and Saugerties and not far from other local towns and attractions. Stephen was very responsive and quick to fix any issues that arise. Highly recommend staying here.

Post Christmas Family Getaway

Thank you for a great visit. The house was exactly as described with great communication from the host. It was perfect for our extended family gathering (10 people mixed ages). Cozy fireplace, hot tub, well appointed cook's kitchen, with amble space and bedrooms for all. We enjoyed day trips to Woodstock and Rhinebeck - both very close by. We will definitely come back!

Short stay

The house was impeccably designed and had everything visitors would need. And the view off the front porch was beautiful. It was truly impressive and very relaxing. One small suggestion would be to make the address at the gate more obvious, instead of having it on a tree next to the gate.

Perfect getaway

The property was just as depicted in the description and photos. Really enjoyed our stay in the woods. A perfect spot to gather and decompress with family. The entire place is fully functional, so guests don't have to make any accommodations. It's important to note that the house is on well water (entire area is, apparently) and the host makes sure to provide drinking water options in both the main house and the recording studio.We would definitely stay again!

Lovely, relaxing, unique

Our family of five adults enjoyed a great long weekend at this property. We found it to be spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, and the views are quite lovely. We took advantage of the hot tub, the large stone fireplace (lots of wood provided), and maybe most fun of all, the music studio. My daughter, who played drums in high school, and my son-in-law, who plays piano, marimba and keyboard, were quite a duo. All in all, a really fun time. Oh... and we discovered a couple of really great restaurants close by.

Lovely, Serene, Comfortable, Eco-friendly House

We were a group of 5 adult family members having a family reunion. We enjoyed being in this beautiful setting in the midst of a large natural property including a meadow, pond, wetlands and woods. The house is very comfortable and well equipped, with beautiful and fun decor. It's close to many quaint towns and interesting cultural attractions. The owner was very prompt and helpful in his communications. We highly recommend this house!

Great time

A wonderful time and everything we wanted when we booked the rental. The jam space was incredible and so nice to have it separate from the main house. The views were spectacular, no other way to describe it. The Hi-Fi stereo was was the cleanest sound I have heard outside of actually being in a studio. The entire crew enjoyed our stay and can't wait for our return visit. If you love playing and listening to music, this is a must.

Stunning Property

The house and property are as beautiful in person as in the photos. Stephen replied to my questions with lightening speed. One note is that the property is a little tricky to find since the house is off the main road (but the location is part of what makes it great) so I suggest arriving before dark. If you’re lucky you’ll spot deer as you arrive like we did!

Fabulous Time

Steve’s home is amazing, well maintained and chock full of cool extras that he’s gracious enough to share with guests. One of my sons played the baby grand in the living room every day. Steve’s CD collection really brought me back and there are some gems I haven’t thought to listen to in a long time. The house is sufficiently remote to seem like you’re “off the grid” yet a quick ride to Woodstock or Saugerties. Steve’s communication was great including instructions for all the appliances, stereo, etc. This was a great family get away!

Woodstock Fall Trip

Location is central but also secluded which makes for fun experience in the mountains but close to downtown. Views all hours of the day are amazing - best i've seen at any rental in area and I've been renting homes around there for well over 10 years. Nice having bathrooms for each bedroom. My group and I loved the different fireplaces across the property. Guest house made for part of a fun night with music....honestly just great time all around and perfect vacation spot. I've never seen such clear night skies and if anything was of question, Stephen gave responses extremely quickly. Much appreciated.

Property is absolutely beautiful! The views from the deck are gorgeous. The pictures almost don’t do it justice. Only thing I would note is the driveway is tricky so I would advise to have an SUV or vehicle that does well in loose gravel. Host was great at helping us quickly with any issues we had.
