About this property

The Swan Cottage was built in 1923 and was fully renovated in 2020. The idyllic location, on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River, is the perfect perch to relax and get away from it all. The front porch is a nice spot to have a cup of coffee and watch the sailboats on the river, while the huge wraparound porch affords terrific views of the river as well as the forest that gives this home a feeling of being high in the tree tops.

Perfect little cottage, beautiful area

Our stay couldn't have been better! We're two friends who were celebrating our birthdays and were here for a relaxing week of vacation. The cottage itself, the amenities, host, and location were all great. It's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with lovely views of the river, five minutes away from Kingston (where we saw a concert at the Ulster Performing Arts Center, had a top-notch dinner at The Brickmen, and shopped at the vinyl stores). Maria was a perfect host and we loved seeing her son and adorable dog playing in the yard in the mornings. Thank you!

Cousin Weekend Getaway

With three of us coming from MA, NJ & NYC, the Kingston area was the perfect meeting place. We were thrilled the house in Port Ewen was THE PERFECT HOME BASE for our weekend away. Charming, cozy & convenient. Thank you!

Quiet, beautiful location, cute cottage

Such a gem of a cottage. Maria did a great job designing / renovating the cottage, and was super responsive to our requests. Was well stocked. Would recommend staying.

About the host

Your host

I was born and raised on LI to Greek parents. I fell in love with the Hudson Valley when I was in art school at New Paltz and was compelled to return again and again. In 2010 I returned to the area and opened my own restaurant, Boitson's. In 2022, I sold my business and now I spend lots of time with my family and friends. I love to antique, travel, work on the houses and explore the beauty of the Hudson Valley.
I have been a highly rated host on another platform for many years. Hospitality is in my genes, and I love to have guests visit my cottage and the region.

Why they chose this property

I was very fortunate to find this very special property before the pandemic, and managed to close on it on Friday, March 13, 2020. After a long scary time of not being able to work on the houses, I managed to rebuild the cottage and make it available to guests. There are 2 brand new bedrooms, a brand new kitchen, and fully redone walls, windows, doors and more. It's been a true labor of love and I am so happy to share it with guests.
