Private Woodstock Getaway w Hot Tub

Relax in this cozy retreat on a private road. Snuggle up by the fire, play some records, relax on the sunny deck, or jump in the hot tub. Cook dinner in the fully stocked kitchen or grill on the deck and enjoy your meal in the screened in porch. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and quality linens, as do the other two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with 2 twins beds. Relax downstairs in the family room, watch a movie, or cozy up by the wood burning stove. Short drive to the town of Woodstock ! Close to skiing, hiking & swim holes! $50 extra for dogs. No cats. Use hot tub at your own risk. The whole home is yours except the garage remains closed. Always available if any issues arise, but not on the property. The house is set back on a private road. It's a genuine retreat, but still only a short drive from the shops and restaurants of Woodstock and Saugerties. Local hikes abound, and venture a little further to find swimming holes and skiing. If you have a small child, I suggest bringing a gate as there are stairs to the basement.
