We had a wonderful relaxing visit to Sylvia's cottage in West Shokan. The location is fantastic and there are plenty of food and grocery options within a short drive. Sylvia was friendly and responsive with any questions that came up. We like to cook and the kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. The king size bed was good quality and comfortable to sleep in. We would definitely book this again.

This was a fantastic stay! The house was so comfortable and welcoming. It's on a gorgeous plot away from the main road, with plenty of space. Everything was well-appointed and easy to find. The location is nicely situated to reach things both north and south of the reservoir. Also, the hosts are incredibly kind, responsive people. We had a bit of a (self-created) emergency, and they were able to help us out immediately! Will absolutely visit again!

This is a lovely secluded rustic home on a private road. The king size bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with every pot, pan, and utensil you might want to use. We loved hearing the stream behind the house, which was empty when we arrived but filled after a storm and kept going for days.

A great place to stay!

The outdoor space here was amazing to have and we spent a lot of our time hanging out at the fire pit area and playing with our dog in the large yard. Inside it was beautiful, spacious and very clean which made for an enjoyable stay!

Wonderful and cozy cabin space! fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Lovely outdoor seating areas too. My friends and I had a great time staying here, it was perfect for a fall weekend trip. The surrounding area is beautiful too; we saw great scenic views and wildlife around every day :) . Sylvia was a very attentive and kind host.

Excellent setting to explore the Catskills. Quiet and private but yet close to towns, restaurants, etc. Pet friendly place which allowed us to bring our two dogs. Highly recommend.

Wonderful getaway

Just what we needed- space secluded in nature with the comfort of a warm bed and amazingly appointed kitchen. Our 2 doggies enjoyed the long hikes in nearby trails. A morning in nearby Woodstock and an evening dining at the CIA in Hyde Park made this a great trip.

Bliss

We just got back from this sweet cabin and can't wait to book our next return trip! The cabin provides such a wonderful escape - calm, peaceful and relaxing - while providing all of the amenities you could ever need. A wonderful kitchen, comfy living room and spacious bedroom (with an outstandingly comfortable king bed). Sylvia was also a delight to work with, and her organized house is truly inspiring. We found delicious restaurants and great hikes all within a short drive, though honestly we rarely wanted to leave the grounds and spent most of weekend just hanging out.

A rustic cabin with large loft bedroom making it 2 stories. It's attached to an old one story log cabin. The log cabin section is locked and not part of the rental. The rental sits on 5.6 acres and is very private. There's a tall stone fireplace outside that used to be part of a house that no longer exists. We built a fire in it most evenings. There's also a fire-pit. The cabin was very warm and welcoming, the kitchen was fully equipped, the bed was super comfortable. It was a great place to return to after a day of exploring. There's a trailhead to the Ashokan Rail Trail about a 5 minute drive away. Woodstock Brewery good place to go with your dog. Woodstock village is about 20-25 minutes away. We visited just about every little town within an hours drive in any direction. And the hosts responded quickly to any questions. Highly recommend.

We were in the area for a family reunion. Clearly the owners take pride in their home. The property is lovely, clean and so quiet. There is a little stream at the back of the house. The power went out during a storm but the generator kicked in immediately, providing power to the first floor. Sylvia was very responsive and easy to reach. The only drawback was limited space for storing our clothes and food.

Really enjoyed the stay, the secluded area and mowed lawn were great for our pups to play and run around in. Check in was super smooth and Sylvia was very communicative and helpful! Would definitely stay here again, great location and a great house to spend a long weekend in.

Quiet and charming

We loved this place. It was so nice and quiet. Loved hanging outside by the fire pit lounging in the chairs and reading a good book. We were really able to relax and unwind. Beautiful home with so much character.

Warm, serene property bordering park

Home is lovely and a great place to relax. We were provided plenty of wood and kindling to build fires in the wood stove. The surrounding area is completely dark, so it was lovely for stargazing. The kitchen is perfect for cooking meals in.

Stunning view of the mountains

This is a beautiful property in a great location. The house isn’t completely available to renters but the upstairs bedroom is lovely and the outdoor patios are great. The inside living area we had access to felt a little dark, but it’s otherwise spacious and comfortable and we didn’t spend much time inside so it didn’t matter. I’d return just to sit on the patio and look at the mountains! (And our dog loved sleeping on the grass.) It’s also just off a nice quiet road that was great for running.

Tranquil

Relaxing! Our GPS said 39 minutes. We don’t even live in NYC but if I did I would be there every weekend. There was a very comfortable king size bed. It felt like being alone in a forest the green was very lush. We listened to birds in the day and crickets at night. The fire pit was a bonus! I would go back again! I was also impressed with the fact, I came back without one mosquito bite! Even while grilling and eating a steak in the dark.

Serene family vacation

We had a wonderful 4 day stay with our almost 2 year old at Sylvia’s House. It was clean, spacious, quiet and comfortable. There was a surplus of kitchen equipment, the showers were awesome (good heat and water pressure) and we were able to stay comfortably cool though it is mid July. The area is very pretty, Sylvia gave us a bunch of great suggestions. We went to Marty’s for breakfast, migliori’s farm for some produce and pie(amazing pie), and peekamoose restaurant for dinner one night (highly recommend—good food, friendly staff, beautiful outdoor seating and very kid friendly without seeming like a kids restaurant). Would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect weekend getaway!

We cannot recommend this cabin enough! We were looking for a home to spend a weekend away from the city with our dog. We wanted it to be remote, but still close to some of the small, upstate towns so we could explore. Sylvia and Gerry's property is perfect for all of the above! It is about a 20 minute drive to Woodstock and 15 minutes to the delicious Phoenicia Diner. The house is cozy with central air/heating with a large, comfortable couch and bed. We were most impressed with the kitchen as it had more than enough pots, pans, appliances, etc for a home cooked meal (Vitamix, Le Creuset, All Clad, etc). And if our pup could add to this review, she would let you know that it was very comfy for her as well as they were kind enough to leave an oversized dog bed for her to lounge on in front of the fire! Sylvia and Gerry were extremely responsive, making booking a breeze as well as helping out with a few questions during our stay. The property itself is located right on a mountain stream with a small waterfall right outside. It was too chilly to enjoy the outdoor areas, but we could see spending an afternoon sitting around the patio. We very much look forward to future visits!
