About this cottage rental
Brook Cottage is ideally located on a shared and secluded property at the end of a private lane, yet it’s just a few blocks from the center of Woodstock and the NYC bus (no car needed). You can walk to Woodstock’s wonderful restaurants and cafes, galleries and shops, theaters and clubs, hiking trails and parks ~ or you can just stay home and relax in your own private oasis of peace and beauty.
Brook Cottage occupies the east wing of an authentic 1928 artist’s residence/studio, and features oversize north-light windows (with views of Overlook Mountain, the highest peak in the region) and a south-facing wall of glass with forest and brook views.
RELAX WITH A VIEW OF OVERLOOK MOUNTAIN
Step through the historic solid pine front door into the spacious living room featuring a 16-foot cathedral wood ceiling with skylights, dramatic 2-story north-light artist windows framing Overlook Mountain, and a gas-fueled fireplace with a double-height exposed fieldstone chimney. When the weather is chilly, you can start a cozy fire in the fireplace with the flip of a switch, and snuggle on the sofa with your honey ~ or on the overstuffed armchair with a book (perhaps selected from the collection in the wall of built-in bookcases behind you). When the weather is warmer, use the remote control to open the screened skylights and let in fresh mountain breezes as well as melodic birdsong. On hot days, you can turn on the air conditioning and run the overhead ceiling fan to create your own cool breezes!
OPEN PLAN GREAT ROOM OVERLOOKS STREAM + WOODS
Curtained hallways on either side of the stone fireplace lead to a 25’ wide light-filled open plan "great room" (kitchen/dining/lounge area) with a south-facing wall of glass that overlooks the private back lawn, conservation forest, and meandering year-round stream that flows right past your stone patio. You can relax on the slipcovered sofa or overstuffed armchair in the lounge area to admire the view and perhaps spot wildlife. Blue herons and ducks occasionally visit the stream, rabbits and chipmunks are frequent visitors, and across the stream you may spot a doe and her fawns. Or you can turn on the gas-fueled fire stove (also with the flip of a switch) and settle in by a cozy fire to watch a movie on your large flat-screen “smart" TV.
FOOD PREPARATION
Your brand new cook’s kitchen is fully-equipped to prepare simple snacks or elaborate meals. It features a Caesarstone quartz countertop, walnut cabinets, a quiet Miele dishwasher, and new stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch gas cooktop and conventional/convection wall oven, as well as all new matching sets of dishware, bakeware, All-Clad stainless pots and pans, cutlery and utensils ~ there’s even a Kitchenaid stand mixer for baking! The adjoining dining table seats 4.
Or you can grill and dine al fresco on your bluestone patio with a Weber gas grill and outdoor table (also seats 4) under the trees and next to the stream.
SLEEPING
At night, climb quiet carpeted stairs that run behind the central chimney to the second story master bedroom in the spacious sleeping loft with a railed balcony overlooking the living room below. Stretch out on the queen bed with 100% cotton luxury linens and hypoallergenic/down-alternative duvets and pillows under a large triangular-shaped window and skylights with views of the stream, woods and stars ~ or close the remote-controlled blackout shades to sleep late into the morning. With a skylight or window open, you can fall asleep to the soothing sound of the flowing brook. The bedroom also features a quiet AC, as well as a rocking chair sitting area.
On the first floor (next to the bathroom) is a second, smaller bedroom with a full bed and 100% cotton luxury linens and hypoallergenic/down-alternative duvets and pillows, east-facing windows with views of the stream and woods (and blackout shades), and a remote-controlled AC.
BATH WITH RAINSHOWER + STREAM VIEW
The bathroom (located on the first floor) has a tub with a windowed rain-shower (and stream view), as well as a unique polished tree branch shower curtain rod and curved teak countertop. Plush 100% cotton spa towels and a hairdryer are provided.
STAYING CONNECTED
Your flat-screen Samsung Frame TV is “smart” for streaming internet content as well as network programming. Likewise, high-speed WiFi service is reliable and strong, as is cell service for all major providers (Verizon, TMobile, etc.).
ARCHITECTURE + UPDATES
Brook Cottage was built in 1928 in the traditional “Woodstock studio style” as part of the thriving arts community. Over the years it has been lovingly renovated/updated and beautifully furnished/decorated by the designer-owner and a master craftsman with great care and attention to detail, as evidenced by the hand-plastered walls with softly rounded corners; natural woodwork and Douglas fir floors refinished to a silky sheen; state-of-the-art systems and appliances (including highly efficient and quiet ACs, dishwasher, and large front-load washer/dryer); 100% cotton luxury bed linens and plush bath towels, etc. In other words, Brook Cottage shares and upholds the same high standards of design, quality, comfort and luxury as Brook Cottage Too, the much-loved and highly popular 5-star rated vacation rental (#4230126) that occupies the west wing of the building and shares the driveway and parking area.
Although Brook Cottage and Brook Cottage Too are totally separate and independent semi-detached rentals (with separate entrances on different sides of the building, and private patios and outdoor spaces also on different sides of the building), and both are ideally suited for romantic getaways and personal retreats, they may also be rented together by groups of friends or extended family members who want to be together while still maintaining their own private spaces.
NO CAR NECESSARY
Brook Cottage is easy walking distance (just 5 minutes) to everything the village of Woodstock has to offer: popular restaurants/cafes, galleries, boutiques and specialty shops, live music and theater performances, hiking trails, bike rentals, etc. In other words, you don't need a car! Instead, you can take the Adirondack Trailways bus from NYC or NJ to the Woodstock village green, and walk just a few minutes to Brook Cottage, your luxury Woodstock getaway at the edge of the village!
MUSIC
Live Woodstock music can sometimes be heard at the cottage in the evening (7-10 pm) coming from the outside patio of the local favorite Station Bar & Curio, which serves craft beers, cocktails, and light meals in a small one-of-a-kind historic former train depot located about a block away.
PETS
Well-behaved, house-broken and crate-trained dogs are considered ~ please ask! Please note that dogs must be crated when left alone in the cottage, and leashed when outdoors. A $75/week pet fee per dog applies..
EASY TO CONTACT
We’re happy to answer any questions you may have, either before booking or during your stay. We look forward to hearing from you, and welcoming you to Brook Cottage for a peaceful and relaxing getaway!
RATES
Please note that our rates are based on a 2-person occupancy, and there's a $25/night surcharge for each additional guest. The reason we adopted this pricing structure is because we receive so many inquiries/bookings from couples who request discounts. We decided to reduce our rate by $50/night to accommodate them, and then add the surcharge for additional guests so that the full rate is paid only when the cottage is fully occupied by 4 people. We hope that this makes sense, and appreciate your understanding.

Great location, beautiful cottage and property.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved the house and the beautiful backyard with a stream running behind it and a Weber grill. We stayed with our 5 month-old puppy who did great. We actually cooked dinner a couple of nights and baked cookies and all the cookware is top-notch as are all of the other amenities. One thing we did not know when booking was there is another rental attached to the other side of the house (I probably missed this in the description). We never heard them, but you do share a driveway and front yard, so it is not a completely private stay if that is important to you.

My partner and I absolutely loved Brook Cottage. The pictures in the listing are very accurate. From the moment we walked in we felt at home. The cottage is warm, cozy, and very clean. The location couldn’t be better- we’d walk to the market and bakery everyday. We enjoyed cooking more than going out. Judy and Chelsea were attentive and easy to communicate with. We were able to really unplug and slow down, we had an absolutely wonderful stay.

My wife and I drove up to Woodstock for a last minute spa weekend. Our stay at Brook Cottage was great! The location is an easy walk into town and the cottage is very cozy. It snowed the first night and the woods/brook were very scenic. Chelsea made check in/out simple and was quick with communication. I would absolutely recommend the Book Cottage to future guests.

The cottage was very private even with the adjoining unit. It was very clean and well stocked. Easy walk to stores and restaurants. Would definitely stay there again. Would be beautiful in the fall.

The house is truly wonderful, thoughtfully appointed and extremely comfortable. Its location in Woodstock is almost ideal: set back from the busy main road, with a big back lawn facing woods, yet an easy walk to everything you might need, including a nature preserve. Judy graciously supplied some items I requested. CAVEATS: The nearby Station Bar’s live music is not limited to weekends and random occasions as I was led to believe but rather, “almost every night of the week” as the bar’s website proclaims and as I experienced for hours every evening. Because the stream was bone dry due to drought — my greatest disappointment — there was no “flowing brook” sound to mitigate the music, or to enjoy. (Immediately after booking, I wrote to ask if the stream was active saying “I’m counting on it” and was told “I’ll check”. When no one got back to me, I assumed all was well; that assumption cost me. Once there, I decided to make the best of it.) If these concerns are important to you, best to do your homework before booking.

I took a solo trip to Woodstock for my birthday in February. Unfortunately, there was an ice storm that knocked out electricity in the entire area one day before I was supposed to arrive. The host was lovely and accommodating – she offered to refund any lost days or extend my stay. The house itself was just as described. Cozy, clean, spacious, etc. I highly recommend it!

This was a wonderful location, and the property was beautiful. It is exactly as described, and Judy, the property manager, and Chelsea, her assistant were very helpful. I’d love to return in the fall!

This is our third stay at the Brookside Cottage, and it was as perfect as always. This time we were so thrilled to have my sister and 3 year old niece join us - they were as enchanted with Woodstock and the cottage as we are. We can't wait to plan our next trip!
5.0 / 10.0
We spent a week here and loved everything about our stay! The home itself was perfect - enough room for our family of 3. Our daughter is 18 months and she had an absolute blast exploring every corner of the home and property. We spent time picking up rocks in the brook, grilling meals (food from Woodstock Meats!) and relaxing outdoors enjoying the peace and quiet. On the weekends the restaurant/bar nearby had live music which was a nice add to the atmosphere. The home is a ~10 min walk to the middle of town, ~20 min walk to the elementary school where there was a great playground for our little one. It's the perfect location where it's set back so there is peace and quiet and you are surrounded by nature but close enough to town so you can easily stroll to get whatever you need.
We can't wait to visit again!
