The property is located on a private road which makes the place secluded and quiet. The rustic style of the house is a perfect compliment to the beauty of the nature. The house itself is very well equipped with everything you need and use on a daily basis at your own place. Alison and Peter are very accommodating, welcoming, informative and communicative! They are genuinely very nice and kind people who do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable! We did not get the chance to admire the beauty of the stream as it was under restoration during the time of our stay but the hosts were great enough to make the stay special and memorable! Highly recommended!

Stunning property with local access. Truly enjoyed the experience with a great host.

My friends and I booked Alison’s place for our Christmas celebration. This little home matches all my check boxes for a dreamed cabin in the woods. Would definitely recommend it any body. Alison is also very helping and responses quickly.

Beautiful, clean, and comfortable house next to a babbling brook. Alison is very communicative, welcoming, and accommodating. We will be returning again soon.

This is a comfortable cabin in a lovely, woodsy setting by a stream. It was a pleasure to arrive and find fresh flowers on the table as well as art work and pottery by local artists in every room. Our host Alison was welcoming and gracious and shared some of her homegrown peaches with us!

We have greatly enjoyed our stay at this property! It is in a beautiful serene place and and communication with the owner has been very easy.

The house was spotless, lovely setting, peaceful and everything you want in a getaway home! The host was very responsive and helpful

We had a lovely few days away in this beautiful space. I already cannot wait to visit again! Alison is a wonderful host and has really put together a serene and peaceful space.

We had a great time - Alison was an excellent host and her house is lovely. It was comfortable, nicely decorated, and had all sorts of lovely extra details - including some snacks.

We enjoyed the quietness of a Christmas outside of the city since none of us could go home for the holidays!

I do love this place! Surely, I'll recommend here to my friends and I'll miss everything from here! Thank you, Alison and Peter! Have a happy holiday Miran

Loved this place. It was so peaceful and secluded enough, but only less than 10 mins from town. Exactly what we were looking for. The house itself was very nice and spacious with great outdoor areas. The bathroom was HUGE! Loved that there was also laundry.

This home provided a beautiful and peaceful haven for the perfect long weekend getaway. Everything you need to get to is a quick five minute drive. The bubbling creek in the backyard adds a blissful, natural ambience. Make sure to pick up some kindling and newspapers at a market on your way up!

This was beyond What we had expected. Such nice interiors, gorgeous and quiet location and friendly hosts.

This property is great if you want a private Getaway to cut off from the outside world. Unfortunately it rained on Saturday, our only full day at the property, so we could not go out and explore/hike the area. The area is very private and secluded. No cell service in town which was nice to just cut off. We hope to come back in the spring or summer time with better weather in hopes to do so! The house itself has basically all the amenities you need from kitchen to bath. Some kitchen utensils are slightly damaged from over use, but that's the only slightly negative thing. There is also a Roku to stream on. Wood stove makes for a great heat source in the winter and quickly heats the living room and loft. We hope to be back again!

Absolutely amazing experience. Can not wait to come back. The perfect bungalow on the river for a weekend away in the woods. 10/10 would recommend.

Alison's home is at the end of a quiet, beautiful road. Her place was the cleanest we've rented in the area and has a great open layout. Thanks!

Everything about this house was perfect. The house itself was lovely, clean, roomy, modern, and comfortable. The deck is large with a dining table, chair, and gas grill. We spent most of our time on the deck because it was so peacefully and beautiful and you can see and hear the river. Our dog had a blast roaming around the yard and wading in the river. Alison was a lovely host, answering all of my questions in a timely manner. I will definitely be staying here again.

Our family had a wonderful stay in this home which is beautifully located adjacent to a creek in the Catskills. Our hosts were very helpful prior to the visit and had the home well set up for our arrival. We enjoyed exploring the nearby towns and restaurants and would love to go back to spend more time there.

We had the most wonderful time here over the 4th! It looks exactly as in the pictures, with the tranquil running stream behind the property. Such a great place to relax, cook, and enjoy nature. The view of the night sky will take your breath away. Would absolutely recommend staying here and hope to again ourselves!

Wonderful home and very well kept. This place was the perfect escape for a relaxing weekend. Close to town and good fishing spots. The record player sealed the deal!

Very idyllic and very peaceful. Lovely to wake up to sound of gurgling brook. Dogs welcome. Ours loved it! Highly recommend it.

Especially for those whose experience is influenced by a well-designed and thoughtfully appointed place, this is a wonderful location. We had a beautiful stay without any hitches. There is no dishwasher, but somehow washing dishes to the sound of the roaring stream (also amazingly silent with windows closed) is not as bothersome! We had a lovely dinner on the outdoor deck one evening and the string lights hung above were perfect. Thank you!

This place was very well stocked and really comfortable. The stream right below the deck was a calming sound even if the slushy snow prevented us from going down to it. Beds were comfortable and our 2 year old granddaughter set up her own sleeping place in the upstairs closet. Thanks for a great stay.

Beautiful, serene spot in the Catskills. Off the beaten path of Phoenicia, while still being close enough to town to enjoy the Phoenicia Diner & Foxfire Mountain House. The house has everything the four of us needed, oh, and our puppy LOVED the experience. The hosts are wonderful and unobtrusive, they have everything under the control and are easily accessible. Perfect getaway weekend.

Alison's cabin was the perfect getaway for a short Christmas vacation. We made a last minute decision to go to the Catskills and was able to book seamlessly on short notice. We only have good things to say about Alison's place. Not only is the place so aesthetically pleasing, it is very functional, immaculately clean, and has every necessity you can think of. It was lightly snowing outside and all we wanted to do was stay in, watch movies, and play board games which we were able to do thanks to all the entertainment provided in the home. We also brought our two dogs Brooklyn and Bella and they had a blast! We loved having them meet Harmony, Alison's dog who is adorable and came out a couple times to say hi. We would absolutely return again. We are already talking about planning to come back in Spring. We would 100% recommend her place!

Beautiful property tucked away in Phoenicia. We really enjoyed our stay, and the host Alison was incredibly helpful and responsive.

A quaint, very clean home snuggled along a relaxing babbling brook. A beautiful place for a relaxing getaway weekend.

A beautiful cabin in Phoenicia. There is a stream right next to the house, the sound is so soothing. Very clean and comfortable. A serene retreat.

It's definitely on a stream - which was positively gushing with spring runoff when we stayed over Easter weekend. But inside the house it was quiet and comfortable and warm and dry (even more so with the wood-burning stove doing its thing). Everything we needed was there, and our dog felt right at home. As a base for hiking the Phoenicia area (less pretentious than Woodstock but equally beautiful), Serene Retreat fit the bill perfectly. Thanks Alison for a fine stay!

We stayed with our two children 4 & 1.5 years old. The kids loved it here. Very family friendly. Clean, quiet, and private. The owners were on property the weekend we stayed, we never saw them, just occasionally their adorable dog would stroll over to play with our dog. Great place! Highly recomended
