A delightful gem of a getaway. The home was immaculate and the host could not have been nicer. Checking in was seamless, and the little touches (flowers, linens, etc.) were thoughtful. I’d highly recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was in a nice wooded area but close to town and other major attractions in the Saugerties area. It provided a nice outdoor patio area and three season porch for relaxing when we got back from a busy day. The cottage was nicely decorated with original art and very comfortable furnishings. The kitchen was set up with all the utensils we needed and the availability of a washer/dryer was a real plus. We found the cottage to be clean and well cared for. We definitely recommend it!

Charming cabin with comfortable beds, interesting artwork and beautiful flowers and plants. It was a great central location for day trips to Hyde Park, Catskills mountains, and Lenox MA. Enjoyed watching the deer and the great view from the bench perch.

About the host

Hosted by Maureen Cornwell

Host profile image
I am an Interior Designer, originally from the Midwest and Upstate New York. My husband, Ross, grew up in the cottage, he is now a fine artist and painting professor.

Why they chose this property

This property is my husband's childhood home. His parents rented, then purchased the cottage from a local landowner in the mushroom business. The house is filled with warm memories as well as examples of Ross's early paintings. He was and is strongly influenced by the beaurtiful Hudson Valley light!

What makes this property unique

The quiet setting is truly magical. I will never forget the first time I drove up the hill and saw the house and stone chimney surrounded by cedar trees. It is a special place!!
