COME VISIT OUR COZY ART-FILLED HOME with PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL NESTLED IN FOREST WITH 1-ACRE GARDEN
Our charming and comfortable cottage-like home is perfect for couples, singles, or couples plus 1. One bedroom with excellent king mattress available--additional twin-bed sleep space for child or extra friend available for extra fee.
We are located inside the village of Woodstock, a 10-minute walk to the Village Green (or 3 min drive). In season, swimming pool is surrounded by forest and gardens open for summer guests (heating available per your request). Our indoor space is a charming private home with skylights, original art, antiques, piano, and inset fireplace in a very serene spot. It is still close to the quaint but lively village of Woodstock. Private drive to house in forest makes this extra tranquil. Fountains, flowers, and birds help enjoy the special perennial gardens.
Quiet and peaceful, yet close to Woodstock town restaurants and boutiques, our location offers the best of both worlds. A perfect space for artists and couples or close friends seeking a restful vacation. And everyone loves our pool!
We are also pet friendly -- one smallish pet allowed per stay.
Enticing decks with various garden seating and views of garden and forest. Barbecue under the stars--or use our fire-pit. Inside, a lovely old claw tub offers long soaks, and skylights and bay-windows offer shaded light. This bathroom is perfect for de-stressing with bath salts. (No standup shower but shower-head provided for water spray).
A front bay window full of plants faces a front deck.
For colder nights, we have a living room bluestone fireplace (now a smoke free inset with sealed glass door provides lovely wood heat). House has great winter lighting and ample shade in summer.
AC in summer is available (additional fee--just let us know your needs). Regular oil-furnace heat is also available for winter.
Beautiful screened windows as well as sliding door open out to private back deck with lovely forest views.
Cook delicious meals in our simple but fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and Spanish tile floors--or use the barbecue on the deck. Enjoy nights of stargazing while eating at the outdoor table with chairs and lounges.
Our 30-foot pool is excellent for real swimming, or just bobbing, and is surrounded by the forest and gardens. We offer sun umbrellas and chairs for lounging.
You can also take a 5 minute walk down the road to the Woodstock Millstream swim hole for a refreshing cool dip on hot summer days.
Consider taking a walk in the woods following the Town of Woodstock paths through the Comeau Property forests along the Millstream. It takes 5 min. to drive to the trailhead.
This is our real weekend home! We are writers and professors who love books, art, writing, and the quiet of our special house. Come enjoy our books, French antiques, and artwork. We love to share it with like-minded people when we ourselves are traveling abroad. Come and enjoy our soothing, magical, tranquil atmosphere. Our space is the perfect retreat.
Musicians can play our lovely piano. Cooks can make magical meals to serve on our antique French table or, in good weather, out on the deck.
Or take a stroll into the heart of the Woodstock village very close by to shop or eat great food. Hear music in local venues for the cost of a drink in places like the Colony (restored 19th century hotel made into a music venue) right in town.
We provide a full House Manual for your stay, with local venue tips. And we can recommend our favorite restaurants and spots. The gardens also have art and mobile sculptures by our renown family artists. (All information in the Manual hardcopy.)
Don't miss this opportunity to relax by the pool, on the decks surrounded by flowers and greenery, with sumptuous views of the forest when our calendar allows. We do think this is a PARADISE. IOur guests over the years tell us how peaceful and relaxing our place is, and that the photos often don't do the place justice.
Polished wood floors are laid with authentic Persian carpets (sometimes removed in summer months), Our calm living room opens up to skylights and a bay window. Relaxing chairs and rockers are located multiple parts of the house.
The bathroom is charming and simple. Our equally simple kitchen has authentic Italian tile floors and granite counters, but is fully equipped for real cooking (basic appliances and herbs etc available for use).
Enjoy our superb classical / jazz CD collection, as well as turntable for historic vinyls (organized in living room closet).
The house has private safe parking, and is located on a private drive off a low-traffic road.
