We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Peace Cottage! The location was wonderful and so peaceful. The space was perfect for our family of 4. Our host was wonderful and so gracious.
We loved staying at the cabin with our dogs, a puppy and an older dog. The property is fenced in so we felt safe playing with them in the autumn leaves. The kitchen was also extremely comfortable to cook in, and the hosts were welcoming and communicative (and very sweet about our dogs!)
Stayed here with 3 friends for a quick overnight. Host was great and very responsive before our stay and you could tell they truly wanted us to have a nice stay. Peace cottage was a perfect place for our one night trip to Woodstock.
The cottage was perfect for a low key weekend away. It may not be fancy but it has everything you need. The surrounding area was beautiful for walking or a drive around.
What a wonderful abode and such a pleasant space for a family to pull tarot cards in the morning light. Lovely fairies reside here as well. A must stay of a place for the mindful nature.
We had a lovely time with our family at this lovely place. There was enough space for all five of us inside, and we also really enjoyed the grill, the fire pit and the the kids loved running around by the stream even though it was starting to get cold. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
Rustic mountain look on the outside with meticulous design on the inside. Spacious outside deck looking over the rushing stream as bald eagles fly overhead. Lots of privacy for your family or friends. Highly recommend Peace Cottage for your vacation.

The eagle comes to nest across the stream sometimes - seems to be always in auspicious times - how wonderful you witnessed them - they always give a sense of wonder -please join us again - they blessed your stay !
Perfect weekend getaway! The location was perfect, the house clean and cute. Lots of thoughtful touches throughout! We had a great time playing the board games and just hanging in the yard and by the stream. Would definitely come back!
The Peace Cottage was a great place to stay for a relaxing long weekend. The large fenced yard was perfect for our dog, and we all enjoyed hanging out by/in the stream. Easy drive into Woodstock or Phoenicia for eating out, but the kitchen was also well equipped for the few meals we made at the house. Nice location to explore area trails and state parks. We really enjoyed our stay--thank you to the hosts for sharing this cottage!
My partner and I came up to escape Brooklyn for a bit and had a wonderful stay. We would have loved to have a grill in good condition and there’s a few holes in the chicken wire fence that could easily be mended for a better experience with dogs, but otherwise we really enjoyed the house and the sound of the stream is lovely and healing.

Thank you for letting us know if you noticed any holes in the fence, we will make it a part of our spring cleanup to fix those. We’ve never had an issue with any dog getting out and we want to keep it that way. Very grateful you told us! New Grill on the spring list as well Thanks!
My sister came up from Florida to visit me in PA and I thought it would be nice to head to the mountains in NY for a short getaway. We absolutely loved the Peace Cottage from the moment we pulled into the driveway. Just a perfect oasis for our little trip! Will definitely return!

Thank you for being such a great guest. You’re welcome back anytime.!
Peace Cottage was super cute and welcoming, a wonderful place to make memories. The highlights were eating on the deck and wading in the gorgeous creek every day. Some amenities and appliances were a little worn so if you're planning on doing a lot of cooking at home it might be a good idea to bring some of your own things but we were able to get by fine, and there's plenty of great restaurants in the surrounding towns. Thanks for a great stay!

I came for the weekend with a friend and we had a wonderful time. The property is beautiful and the house is lovely. It is clean and comfortable. Nidhi and John were very responsive and helpful. The location is great, not too far from anything but remote enough that it is quiet and the stars can be seen on full display. I hope to be back again soon!
Not fancy shmancy, no carefully manicured landscaping like in suburbia, BUT exactly what the name implies - a peaceful retreat and that was exactly what I was looking for. The peace cottage has a beautiful vibe inside and out. This adorable little cottage is filled with loving energy and it is the perfect place to decompress and unwind. A true hidden gem.
PEACE...That's exactly what my Wife and I were seeking after a challenging several months, both personally and professionally. This magical cottage was exactly the panacea our souls needed. We could not recommend it more!
