Our family of five absolutely loved this cottage. It was adorably charming yet also very clean and well stocked. The babbling book was the most serene backdrop and we loved being super walkable to all the little shops and restaurants that Woodstock has to offer.
I debated renting because we have three young children, one who is a toddler. I was worried about how k

Nice home, great layout for our 2 year old to run around in and so we could see him playing. Beautiful outdoor and close to town. We walked into town multiple times a day.

We had such a great stay with my toddler and 2 dogs! The area is extremely dog friendly and walking distance to all the best coffee shops and restaurants ! The fully fenced yard gave us such a peace of mind. The house was clean, fully stocked with anything one might need and the appliances were all updated and worked great! We will definitely be back!!

Great country house, well situated near town, with stream in the rear. Would definitely stay here agin.
Excellent communication with the owner, whose attention to detail helps to make this a comfortable stay.
Well equipped kitchen -- pretty much everything you might need.
This is a cozy house, not a fancy house. Very comfortable for a family. Stairs are a bit steep for little kids with kids beds upstairs.

Cozy home close to everything. The babbling brook soothes the soul. Placement of bedrooms and baths provided both convenience and privacy for each of us. The kitchen provided all utensils and equipment we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving meal. Excellent service from property manager. Highly recommend! Thought we didn't have infants/toddlers with us, we noticed that this property would accommodate them well.

Brookside Retreat was everything we could have wished for in a vacation home. The house is even bigger than the photos show, the property is beautiful, and being right next to a stream surrounded by trees while only a few blocks from stores made it just perfect. The house is wonderfully equipped and the property manager was immediately accessible when a question came up. We definitely plan on coming back.

We absolutely loved the property and our stay. The home is comfortable and well-appointed. We loved the gas fireplace, large kitchen and the patio overlooking the stream. The house is convenient to everything and walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Communication was A+++ throughout our stay and we could not have been happier. This is a true gem!!

This cottage in Woodstock was perfect for our group. The master bedroom is spacious, as is the kitchen and living room area, and it the heat worked unbelievably well considering the very cold temperatures over the weekend we were there. The outdoor and indoor fireplaces both added to the experience. The property manager was also extremely communicative, which was helpful leading up to our stay. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back!

The Brookside is the perfect Woodstock retreat. The indoor and outdoor spaces are perfect for anything from meditation to dancing. Loved the convenience of walking the town and returning to a complete kitchen and outdoor dining.
We look forward to our next visit

The best location!
We have stayed in the Woodstock area several times, and this was absolutely one of our favorites. The house has so much character, and is tucked away in beautiful nature, but still very accessible to all of the fun and deliciousness that Woodstock has to offer with just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The property manager was very helpful and responsive. We had our 1 year old with us - it's a great location for young ones too! We would love to come back soon.

Lovely family escape!
We had a lovely stay with our 2 year old! The layout was nice and open and it was more or less kid safe! The fireplace was amazing and the piano was a hit! My husband and I had to work a little bit and the desk in the master was a perfect set up. Location wise it doesn’t get any better being so close to town! Linens were great, kitchen had everything we needed, and the property manager was responsive. We had a wonderful holiday and new year and can’t wait for our next trip back to Woodstock!

Excellent family-friendly house!
My wife, two-year old daughter had a wonderful stay. The location is perfect, about a 5-10 minute walk from the center of town and even closer to a great grocery store, coffee shop & CVS. If you're traveling with kids, the children's bedroom is perfect and the property is fun to explore being right on the creek. It was really cold during our stay so we spent a lot of time inside, which wasn't an issue with the great fireplace, large kitchen table and big, comfortable bedrooms. The check-in and check-out process was incredibly smooth and the property manager & owner were incredibly responsive and kind. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a getaway in Woodstock, especially if you have kids!

Amazing Property!
My family and I had a great stay at Brookside Retreat. It was the perfect fit for us for several reasons - The house was very well stocked and organized. A lot of thought and care was put into having all necessary items provided for included items for babies/children which was appreciated since we have a 2 year old! As someone who is meticulously clean and organized I was so impressed with how clean and organized the place was. You can tell the house is cared for with a lot of love. My husband and I work remote so the detached studio/office space was great. It was also our first time in Woodstock and you really couldn't pick a better location. It's a couple streets off of the "downtown" so just a 5 minute walk to anything and everything you'd want or need but also a bit tucked away so the house itself is quiet without a lot of action going on. Also the property itself it so relaxing being on the river with the soothing water sounds. Such a treat! Highly recommend for families with children or dogs, couples, people working remote, etc. Our stay was such a nice getaway and we hope to return again one day!

Beautiful property very close to town
We throughly enjoyed our time at this house. The location, right on the stream and a very short walk to town, was ideal. The outdoor space was beautiful and very relaxing with the stream babbling by us. The master bedroom is large and welcoming. Upstairs are 2 more bedrooms and a shared bath. All of the bedrooms have wall AC units, which cool those rooms nicely. However the main living area is not air conditioned. We only had 1 very hot day so it wasn’t really a problem for us. Just something to be aware of if you are booking during the summer. The kitchen had everything we needed. And our dog loved it! Very happy to have the fenced yard. Definitely recommend this property.

Wonderful trip to Woodstock!
We loved our trip to Woodstock, and the house and property (not to mention the proximity to town), were fantastic. The creek was right behind the house, where we were lucky enough to see some lovely wildlife (rabbits, baby deer), and our son was enthralled. The house was clean, clearly organized and easy to manage for the week. Highly recommended!

Loved the house and location (within walking distance of Woodstock’s shops and restaurants and right next to a babbling brook)! Property Manager Jill went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! We will definitely come back!

Cozy creek side cabin
Very relaxing home with cozy feel. Comfy beds, wonderful babbling brook sounds. Works if you want to hike and be outside but also if you get rain and have to stay inside. Lots of books, games and everything you need in walking distance.

This house is located in a prime area of Woodstock and had the perfect balance of convenience of shops/restaurants so close by and serene and peaceful setting with the sound of the brook. It was a great home base for hiking and visiting other areas like Saugerties and Kingston. The house is immaculate and provided towels and bed linens (rare find!). We had all the kitchen items that we needed to cook a few meals at home - Sunflower Market and Woodstock Meats is a 5 minute walk. We were very impressed and will definitely be back!

Great house, great location
My family had a wonderful stay in this lovely home. It was perfected suited for our needs - simple, clean, warm, and a five minute walk to town. The outdoor space was lovely- the creek running through the backyard was magical and we enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. The property manager was very responsive and attentive to our needs. One night during a big snow storm the power went out (came back on a few hours later), and to compensate us for the inconvenience the owner actually gave us a gift certificate for dinner, which was incredibly thoughtful. Also, we have two kids ages 2 and 1 and the home was surprisingly well equipped for young kids - there was a crib, a changing table, an extra travel crib, and even a box full of toys! Unfortunately the indoor gas fireplace was not working during our visit (this was fully disclosed to us prior to our arrival) so that was a bit of a bummer, but the house was warm & cozy nonetheless. The only complaint/suggestion we have for the owners would be that the home could be better stocked with things like paper towels and bath linens. Overall though, it was a wonderful five star trip and we would definitely consider renting this home in the future.

Safe and Relaxing Week
Thank you for the much needed relaxing New Year’s Eve week! We loved the open layout and cleanliness of house and the nearby town which is minutes walking distance. Cooking in the spacious kitchen right next to the creek was great. The relaxing sound of the creek was a plus. The house manager Judy was responsive and attentive.

Wonderful Stay
We had a great time during our visit. The house was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. Everything you needed was right there. It was also on a gorgeous piece of property and you could hear the stream through your window. The walk into Woodstock was less than 5 minutes. We highly recommend this home.

Lovely
All Woodstock properties that are managed by Judy Atwood are exceptional in all ways - charming and clean and right on a babbling brook with a porch. The cleaning team leaves the cottages immaculate!
Just a note: the separate studio shed that was described in the listing is not available.

Perfect Woodstock home
Home was well stocked, clean and comfortable. Property manager was extremely responsive throughout the process. We stayed/worked for 3 weeks and were not lacking a thing. Wifi was strong for multiple concurrent streaming events and work applications. We enjoyed the bonus of 2 fireplaces (indoor + out) as well as frequent visits to shops/restaurants in town. Easy drive to many wonderful day hikes. Hope to return. Fall in Woodstock is magical and this home is the perfect place to experience it.

We had the joy of staying at this lovely Woodstock property in September, 2020 as a get-a-way from the city (we worked and schooled from a home away from home). The location is amazing - and the creek in the backyard is gorgeous. It also was chilly while we were there and the family fully enjoyed the outside firepit and seating area as well as the gas fireplace inside. There were games and puzzles available which entertained the whole family. Jill was easy to communicate with and really made the whole experience a breeze. A couple minor things to be aware of: this is an older house in the mountains (originally a working artist studio) and so expect the occasion bug or spider. Also, I may recommend that they use a less scented detergent for the sheets and towels, the downy was a little overwhelming for my scent sensitive kiddo. All in all though, this was a heavenly and much needed and restful escape. Thanks again, we'll be back!

Lots of great parts but...
This place was well-stocked, clean and in the best part of town. The only cons were the lack of water pressure in the bathrooms and 2 out of 3 beds were uncomfortable.

Could not have been better
We arrived to find an immaculate, fully prepared house. Everything was in good shape; everything worked; and it looked exactly as portrayed on the website. The property manager was very helpful and made sure that all went smoothly. The beds were comfortable and the bedding and towels were of good quality. The property manager contacted us shortly after our trip and assured us that our security deposit was being processed for refund. We did not even have to ask or wait the full 7 days that was indicated in the contract. I have zero reservations about recommending this property.

Perfect Woodstock Experience
Great property, clean, walk two blocks and you are downtown Woodstock. One block from yoga, two blocks from wine store, natural food store and restaurants. Honest and prompt communication with Jill. I will say clean again, because it is that important. We are repeat visitors and will continue to be. Five minutes to a great Overlook Mountain hike. Perfect for couple or family.

Woodstock Cottage
This was a perfect house for 2 couples. It allowed privacy with the 2 main bedrooms being on separate floors. The living area was very comfortable with nice sectional sofa to relax on. The kitchen was well appointed although a Keurig would have been nice. The location was perfect...walkable to all the great breakfast spots but also quiet and scenic with the stream running behind the house and a deck to enjoy it. The temperature did get a bit warm in the house and the room air conditioners struggled to cool those spaces (especially upstairs). Luckily the downstairs was cool enough at night using just the ceiling fan because the location of the ac unit was right on top of the one side of the king bed. All in all it was a lovely little place!
