About this house rental
Picture yourself in an Arts-and-Crafts-style home, on 3.3 acres, just a short walk from Woodstock’s Village Green. We've owned it since 2002 and listed it on VRBO in 2019 for the first time. Your getaway begins in this Woodstock Festival-era 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offering many truly unique qualities. Relax by the heated pool (during the warm months), surrounded by mature trees. Enjoy the “weather-resistant” outdoor room: a spectacular, covered deck featuring a full fireplace. Watch the meandering stream that flows past the yard. Stretch out on one of the sofas in the one-of-a-kind, stone living room. You’ll be transported: We’re just 100 miles—a two-hour drive—from NYC.
See why our guests write: "You know it was a great trip when you talk about when you can return!"
We'll do our best to accommodate early check-ins and late departures, but it always depends on our being able to properly turnover the house from the previous guests and next guests.
Please note: Parties and events are not permitted. There are many other homes in the area that might be more suitable for you if that's what you're looking for. We strive to be good neighbors.
Inside: Everything is on one floor! (There are three steps to get to the living room.) This architecturally unique home offers many distinctive touches with continuous windows connecting each room. The stone room was formerly the neighborhood icehouse and was converted to a living room when the home was built in the late ‘60s. All of the bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling Hunter Douglas window shades.
The main bedroom has a queen-size Thos. Moser bed and boasts two sliding doors. One leads you right to the covered outdoor room. The other opens on the deck and overlooks the stream. The room is appointed with other Thos. Moser furniture, a 43" Smart TV, and a one-of-a-kind giant, framed poster of a Vargas girl. The en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower.
The other two bedrooms each feature super-comfy new (2021) queen-size Pottery Barn beds, and a shared bath, with stall shower.
The open kitchen has Bosch appliances and a grand counter with bar stools, or for serving meals buffet-style. The adjoining dining room offers an 8-seat dining table.
The extra-high-ceilinged living room features ultra-modern furniture, including two sofas, an enormous lounge chair with ottoman, and two plush swivel chairs, all oriented towards the 43” Smart TV. A leather bench is positioned in front of the wood-burning stone fireplace. A ceiling fan is also there for your comfort.
(Note: The house does NOT have central A/C. There is a large wall unit in the hallway, fans in each bedroom, and a ceiling fan in the living room.)
Outside: The covered outdoor room, measuring 18’ x 18’, features ultra-comfortable furniture from Restoration Hardware, an 8-seat farm table for outdoor eating, and a ceiling fan. You’ll want to use the room’s full-size wood-burning fireplace while you’re enjoying a glass of wine in the early evening. The 360° views include the pool, the stream, the woods and, of course, the house.
An attached, uncovered deck includes a picnic table and gas grill for your use.
The 18’ x 36’ heated pool features a custom stone patio and garden. (Hummingbirds love to visit the honeysuckle.) There are six lounge chairs, four additional chairs, and a serving table. (Note: The pool is open from Memorial Day weekend through mid-September.)
There's a basketball hoop on the driveway, suitable for half court play.
Woodstock: The town offers everything you’d want for a getaway—an eventful nightlife with fine dining, unique bars with craft cocktails and local beers, multiple concert venues offering everything from alternative to rock to blues, jazz and classical programs, a movie theater with the latest indie and foreign films, and more. There’s plenty of shopping plus casual eateries for breakfast or lunch.
The annual Woodstock Film Festival is held every October, with well over 100 independent films and plenty of celebrities. Speaking of stars, you won’t believe how bright the sky gets at night! And, of course, the Catskills are known for its great fall foliage season.
Nearby: There are great walks within minutes of town. Within a half hour’s drive are other towns to visit including Rhinebeck, with great shopping and dining, across the scenic Rhinecliff Bridge that spans the Hudson River. Roughly 45-minutes away: Hudson, with dozens of antique stores and fine restaurants; Red Hook for apple, berry and pumpkin picking; and Hunter or Belleayre for skiing.
Living in the woods: Our home, as is all of "Wood"-stock, is in a woodsy area. Occasional wildlife and insects may be on the property.
(Note: Rentals cannot exceed two weeks without owners' consent. Please inquire.)

The outdoor living room is a real winner. I think I counted maybe 20 species of birds in the back yard. No close neighbors to speak of. Very short drive into town and other attractions. My wife and I had a very restful week there. Owner was available and attentive.

Our girls are on the coast and we're from Chicago. We get together as a family once each Spring so we decided to try something in the Catskills rather than staying in NYC. Amazing area - only 2 hours from NYC and you feel like you are in another world of beautiful nature. House is beautiful and clean with a wonderful outdoor area. It was pretty cold for our stay so did not take advantage of the outdoor space very much (we did make one fire out on the patio) but I'd imagine during warmer months it would be fantastic. Large built-in outdoor pool. Property overlooks a small stream. Inside rooms were nice and beds very comfortable. Sunken living area is pretty cool with nice fireplace. Only negative would be a few bugs (since it's a country house) and water pressure in master bath is minimal but nothing to really complain about. Local area is very interesting but again this was off-season so some places were closed or had different hours. We stayed mid-week and ate at Red Onion and at Nirvana for Indian food and both were absolutely superb. As to local travel we hiked to a waterfall and took a road trip to the original Woodstock festival location (surprisingly more than an hour away). Had one celebrity sighting in town (my girls recognized someone from the movie Oppenheimer) not sure what his name is but he was in the local bakery. Last day took a cold stroll around the downtown shops and had lunch, then back to NYC. Overall great time, very nice house would definitely recommend.

We had an awesome time staying at this great home in Woodstock. The owners were great to work with and very responsive to any request. We skied at Hunter Mountain and this was the perfect location for commuting to the mountain. The town has a wonderful vibe and is full of excellent restaurants. I would highly recommend this home.

Wonderful place for a family stay. Indoor and outdoor rooms, paradise! Inside, lovely stone steps lead down into a great stone room with fireplace, plenty of seating and entertainment options—we spent hours there. High quality outdoor grill and all appliances. Well stocked and furnished. We loved it!

A warm and inviting home. My wife and I and two adult children enjoyed this comfortable home over a long holiday weekend. The kitchen is large and well stocked. The living room was a great place to relax and play games. The heated pool during the day, and outdoor fire place at night, were a hit with the family. Greg was a great and responsive host.

We loved this house! Greg was the perfect host, very easy to reach and helpful. The house itself was in a great location, clean and spacious. There were also many unique details of the house that gave it extra character. The outdoor space was wonderful, cozy and well laid out.
We would love to come back next time we are in Woodstock!

We enjoyed our stay in Woodstock,NY. The home is beautifully and well appointed. The surrounding property is equally lovely and we were about a mile from town. The kitchen is cook’s dream. We also enjoyed the stone fireplace in the family room. The home was spotless and an early check in was most appreciated. We look forward to returning!

We had an incredible time at Greg and Leigh Anne's property. The house is really special — beautifully decorated, great layout, nice big kitchen, and very clean and comfortable. The covered deck is amazing — the fireplace is stunning, the outdoor furniture is really nice, and the entire space is thoughtfully designed. We spent our evenings in front of the fire. The location is serene and beautiful, and also super convenient. It's a short drive to town and very close to all the great hiking spots in the area. Greg was a great host and very communicative and generous. We had a terrific time and hope we can go back soon!

This property gave me all I needed plus some! The house was a 5 minute drive to town, 15-25 mins to great hiking, and 20 mins drive to the Ashokan rail trail. The outdoor space was inviting and beautiful, and the pool was immaculate. The house had everything you needed without being over- furnished. Greg was very attentive, and made sure I was comfortable. I highly recommend it!

We loved staying at this house! It was comfortable, had all the amenities we needed, especially the pool during the heat wave! The hosts were so amazing—in addition to providing a great introduction to the house and the area, they responded to all questions ( big and small) in record time. This was our first VRBO experience and we’ll definitely be doing it again.

Terrific place
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. Everything was just as it was previously (wonderful) except for the weather! It was so chilly at one point that we had to contact Greg to turn on the heat! Otherwise, you will not be disappointed if you stay here.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The well-designed, beautifully decorated home was even better in-person than in the photos. Everything was very clean, and there are great spaces to gather inside and outside--the covered patio area was a big hit. We enjoy cooking together, and the kitchen had all the utensils and appliances we needed (and much more!). The owners are very responsive and were helpful in answering any questions we had. This is a great place for a quiet family retreat, or a comfortable base to explore the Catskills.

Fantastic property with everything you need for a long weekend and just a few minutes from town. Gazebo area is incredible and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a bbq with friends. Pool was of course such a treat. Basketball hoop was ideal to get some shots up! Inside has a lovely set up and designed elegantly but modern and chic. Kitchen sky light let’s in great light. Seems to be recently renovated and gives off a new but soulful vibe. Greg was easily the best host I’ve had on any home sharing experience - kind and informative, always helpful , and willing to work with us on our questions/accommodations. Would love to come back!

We immediately felt at home walking through the door! Greg and Leigh Anne provided all the comforts of home and then some. The indoor and outdoor amenities are top-notch and well cared for. Our two grandsons swam in the beautiful, heated pool day and night, rain or shine! The outdoor covered deck is a bonus and perfect setting for snacks, meals and star gazing. Although we had no issues, Greg was readily available. One of the nicest vacation homes we have rented in the past 12 years!

Perfect for family getaway
This house was exactly what we needed; away from the city, close to nature and great pool. We had 2 toddlers and a 6 year old in our group and they had a great time. There is only one AC in the house and fans in every room and it was quite comfortable even when the outside temperature went up in the 90’s. Greg was a great host, very responsive…we weren’t able to get the pool heater to work, contacted Greg and by the next day we had a warm pool :) loved the creek next to the house, really makes the scenery even better, specially we all the rain we had, water was really flowing. definitely recommend this house for your Woodstock visit.

Great house close to woodstock
The house was clean, well-stocked, and honestly looked better in person than in the online listing. The town of Woodstock is a very short drive (less than 5 mins) from the house and has ample food options. Our daughter loved the pool and my husband and I were able to enjoy the patio at night. We hope to return one day.

We had a great stay in Woodstock and it was all about the house. The house is so unique and amazing. Kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms all really nice. The living room and outdoor cabana and pool all awesome! We had a crazy issue where an oversized truck clipped one power line to the house and the water pump got knocked off. Greg and his contractor Steve were right on it and got the power back on. We liked the hiking, town wasn’t our scene but would go back for this house!

Greet place to relax and unwind
The property is beautiful, soaked in lush green nature all around. We went there with a 15 month old toddler so he had great amount of space to run around outside the house without much concern. Can’t say the same about inside the house as it is not really suitable for such babies, but we managed with close monitoring. Owner is friendly and was helpful whenever I needed his inputs. With a 5 min drive to the town, it was a perfect balance of nature and town. Loved the food scene in Woodstock, really good options and quality.

SUPER
Read as much about this house on VRBO and it is even better. We had a fantastic time, and Greg had everything that you could possibly want or need. The outdoor covered fireplace area was super. And he had it stocked with every type of spice and condiments you could need. One of the best homes we have ever rented. Thank you Greg.

The house was the perfect escape for a long weekend away. Just as pictured, with an amazing outdoor space which was the perfect for evening dinners. My kids 3 and 1 also loved the house and had a good time exploring nature :) the house is a short drive to downtown and just a short drive to Opus 40. Greg was a great host — accessible and have us all the info we needed prior to our stay. Would definitely recommend and will plan to return again!
