About this apartment rental
Treat yourself to a luxurious and inspiring getaway "Above the Books", just up the stairs from Woodstock’s legendary MIRABAI BOOKSTORE. Above the Books is a beautiful, spacious and sumptuously appointed 2-bedroom apartment. Located a block from the Village Green and NYC bus stop, and steps from Woodstock's superb dining, shopping, art, and attractions, there's absolutely no need for a car (but plenty of off street parking space if you bring one).
Walk to one of Woodstock's many superb restaurants or late night hot spots. Take in a concert at the Colony Cafe, a performance at the Woodstock Playhouse or an independent film at Tinker Street Cinema -- all just blocks away. Hike nearby nature trails in Woodstock's Comeau Park or take a dip in the Mill Stream. Rent a bike at nearby Overlook Bikes and explore Cooper Lake, Wilson State Park or "The Big Deep" watering hole.
Or just relax in the peace and beauty of your graciously appointed private home, featuring a spacious layout, outdoor sun deck, your own private meditation room, crisp linens, an extensive library of books devoted to personal growth that will not only entertain, but inspire. And don't forget: the Hudson Valley's oldest and most complete spiritual/holistic bookstore awaits downstairs for you to browse to your hearts content -- guests enjoy a 10% discount in the store. Woodstock's other fabulous shops and galleries are just steps away.
If you would rather cook in than dine out, use our extensively equipped cook's kitchen. Companions can join in around the kitchen's conversational counter while you cook!
Other amenities include a washer/dryer, fluffy towels, Beauty Without Cruelty toiletries and cozy robes for you to wrap yourself in. We also provide air conditioning (seasonal), free wi-if and off-street parking.
So the next time you're visiting our area, we invite you to experience the tranquil space that awaits above Mirabai. Rest, relaxation and renewal. That's what Above the Books is all about.

My friend in I booked this fun apartment above a wonderful bookstore for a weekend trip. The location was perfect. The apartment was comfy and so cute. We loved sitting on the deck! We are only sad that we left before the bookstore opened in the morning. We really wanted to grab some things.

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We were in Woodstock for an event at Colony Music Hall and this was located right around the corner, walking distance. The space was clean, and the hosts were so kind!

This property is amazing - you could not possibly be more centrally located. Right on Tinker Street, you are right next to all of the restaurants and shops, and across from the amazing Saturday and Sunday flea market. This is the best rental in town. Description and pictures are 100% accurate.

All of us felt this is the type of property that you feel gives you a huge, warm, hug as soon as you enter. It is quaint, comfortable, decorated perfectly, and has a fantastic outdoor patio. The hosts could not be nicer and are experts on the area. They gave us wonderful tips for hiking and exploring all the magical spots Woodstock holds. We will be back!

Bed was comfy and loved having the whole upstairs to ourselves. Appreciated the washer/dryer!!
It would be so amazing if the curb appeal was freshened up. It would be darling with a good power washing and fresh paint.
It was a great jumping off point for discovering the Catskills and doing a bit of hiking!

Inviting, comfortable, and enormous! The place is stock with books and a fast WiFi connection, so even in bad weather, thee is no shortage of entertainment. The location couldn't be better, right in Woodstock and walking distance to everything, so it's easy to take advantage of the town. Best of all, the hosts could not be more charming and helpful. Would recommend, and would stay here again!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better place to stay during our trip to Woodstock. It's conveniently located on the main street within walking distance to great shops and restaurants (make sure to check out Early Terrible and Silvia!). The apartment has a spacious layout, which make it easy for us both to work remotely and take calls while we were there. Communication was excellent and check-in and check-out was a breeze.

Our family of four grown-ups from Germany arrived in Woodstock and were warmly greeted by our host Audrey. From the very beginning it was clear to us that this apartment was just great for our needs. Audrey and Jeff are wonderful hosts and really make an effort to make their guests feel right at home. The apartment is super-clean with lots of atmospheric detail in terms of furnishing. We had a great time in Woodstock each and every day (especially on Halloween....) and would love to return. This would be the place for us again, for sure. Our heartfelt thanks to Audrey and Jeff - all good wishes from Angelika, Harald, Nick & Tim

We really enjoyed our stay here - the place was exactly as advertised, very clean and right in the middle of town. We didn't need to drive anywhere and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book in Woodstock.

"Above the Books" is hosted by people with "Above and Beyond the Books" qualities of graciousness, kindness, care, and a heartfelt gift for welcoming guests. We felt embarrassed to keep forgetting things when it was time to leave, as we dread any inconvenience to our sweet, caring, lovely hosts. We have come to understand that our forgetfulness meant a reluctance to leave, and a strong desire to return! We can hardly wait to come back, and to do a better job of remembering to pack every single item, no matter our reluctance to leave! Please be as thoughtful to these extra-special hosts as they will be to you!

This is the best place to stay in Woodstock! Look no further! Incredible location perched above the lovely bookstore in town, steps away from shops, food, and coffee. A perfect space for 3 or 4 adult guests who want to relax and be right in the middle of town. Our hosts were absolutely lovely, and the energy of the location was so calming and lovely.

The rental is located smack dab in the middle of town which made everything easy to walk to. It was cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed. The host, Jeff, responded immediately to the few questions we had. If you are visiting Woodstock, I highly recommend Jeff’s property.

Recently, I surprised my Mother with a road trip to Woodstock, New York. As difficult as it was for me to keep it a secret, the end result of this visit was so worth it. Her last time here was 30 years ago, she was totally surprised and this trip held special meaning for both of us.
We stayed two nights at Above the Books and could not have had a more positive experience! In close proximity to shops and restaurants, we did not need a car to get around. Audrey and Jeff provided everything to make our stay welcoming and relaxing. The property was spotless and spacious.
I cannot wait to come back for a longer stay. Audrey and Jeff...thank you for being such great Hosts.

Excellent property in the center of Woodstock. Merely steps away from Bread Alone fresh bakery and a variety of restaurants, music venues. Close proximity to Kingston and Saugerties for visits. Jeff and Audrey were amazing hosts. They were welcoming and thought of everything. Property was packed with all that you need for a comfortable stay. Will definately come again.

I stayed for the month of June at Jeff and Audrey's property above their bookstore. They were gracious and delightful hosts and so easy to communicate with but provided plenty of privacy, The property was just as advertised - clean, comfortable, well appointed and spacious. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the deck when the weather cooperated.I had several visitors over the course of the month and they were just as delighted by the space and the hosts.
The location could not be beat - within walking distance of nightly live music, various cafes and restaurants, art, theater and the best family-owned hardware/general store east of the Mississippi which carries just about anything you could want. Within driving distance - plenty of hiking, art, mire music and theater and historical sites.
I can't wait to go back!

We did a long weekend trip to Woodstock, NY. I’ve visited in the past and stayed outside of town. When going into Woodstock, parking was a nightmare. We decided to find a plan in town to take away the parking worry. Fining a place a block from the town square and within walking distance of all of the shops and restaurants was the best decision we could have made. The property is above a small book store. It was very clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed. We got to meet the owners who run the bookstore. Jeff and Audrey were amazing. We loved talking to them about the area and things to see. They were a great help. When I return to Woodstock, this will be the place I stay. You can’t go wrong spending time at this property.

When Jeff and Audrey say that their location is in the middle of town, they mean it! We parked our car and never used it again until we were leaving. You get your own private porch with access right out the bedroom door! From one side you see the mountains, from the other you can see the road and the people coming and going through town. The place itself is cozy with plenty of seating and comfortable places to sleep. It also has a private meditation room!
They are a couple minutes walk from Peace Love Cupcakes which has been a winner of several competitions on The Food Network! The bakery right across the street and the one about two buildings down are mouthwatering perfection.
Jeff and Audrey were working at the bookstore while we were there so we got to meet them and they were truly fantastic people who offered great suggestions on where to go for dinner. They are so welcoming and the energy they give off makes you feel like you are talking to an old friend.
We were lucky enough to be there on a day that the store had a tarot card reader practicing right on the front porch! When our sessions were done, she helped us pick out a book in the store that would further help us on our journey. It was such a great experience!
My only complaint is that our schedules did not allow for us to stay longer!

We had a fantastic stay at Jeff and Audrey’s place. As others have said, the location is perfect for exploring Woodstock. Audrey gave great recommendations, and it was wonderful to be able to walk to everything (and we hadn’t realized how much amazing food there was in Woodstock!). We also explored the surrounding country, it’s a beautiful area with many hiking opportunities just a short distance away. The apartment was very clean, cozy, and well appointed. The bookstore is also very cool, we could have spent all day there. Jeff and Audrey are excellent hosts. We would definitely here again. Highly recommend!

This is the perfect coziest spot located in the heart of the best town! My husband and I went to a show at Levon Helm Studios and this place was a 3 minute drive. But I didn't have any idea when I booked it how much I would fall in love with the place! The owners are super nice and responsive. The apartment is charming and cozy and had a meditation room?!? It is also above a great bookstore! Smack in the middle of the town where great food and shopping are footsteps away. Highly recommend! Thank you! 🙏
You have some regular renters on your hands! Cant wait to come back!
