Perks for the Parents
This sun-filled cabin in Woodstock, New York is perfect for a family stay, with a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, and dedicated play space for kids. It sleeps 13 + 2. This spacious home is ideal for year-round vacations: visit for picturesque snow scenes and a hot tub in winter, or enjoy the summer months out in the backyard, splashing in the pool while the kids play on the jungle gym. Kids and teens will love the basement game room, and little ones will enjoy the hosts’ toys and books in the play area. What’s more, the spacious bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements for multi-generational families or parents traveling with a nanny - so everyone will enjoy a relaxed and restful stay.
Why Kids Love it
This residence has everything you could ever need for your kids. There’s plenty of toys, books, and games indoors (not to mention a dedicated mezzanine play space for little ones upstairs), as well as a choice of outside enjoyment, including the mini tennis net with rackets/balls, a jungle gym, spacious field area for soccer games, and the swimming pool. There’s also a stocked play basement featuring a ping pong table and gaming area with a PS4. Parents with babies or toddlers will be happy to find a whole host of baby essentials (a baby bath, baby monitor, children’s utensils, a travel crib, and a high chair) as well as a special baby room with changing table, crib, and nursing chair.
Things to Know
Minimum stay (2022): Holidays: 5 nights; March through April: 2 nights; May: 4 nights; June: 5 nights; July - Labor Day: 2 weeks. The rest of the year is 2-3 nights. Rates may vary for longer stays - please ask when booking. Hosts do allow dogs on a case by case basis, but not cats. Safety notes: there are stair gates to separate each floor but the kitchen is not fully child-proofed. The 20 x 40 heated pool is fenced for child safety but hosts will require all guests to sign a waiver. The pool is closed from October to May. Pool towels, chairs, cushions, and pool toys are provided. There is plenty of parking outside the house (which is located down a long private drive) and car rental is essential to explore the area. The house comes with air conditioning, dishwasher, washer/dryer, cleaning products, toiletries, TV, and WiFi.
About the Location
The house is located in Woodstock, upstate New York. New York City airports are around 2 hours away by car. This quiet and rural location is only 1.7 miles from Woodstock's main Tinker Street, which has some of the best new restaurants in the county (just 5 minutes’ drive). Woodstock also has a choice of family-friendly takeaway eateries, stores, a farmers market, and playground. In the summer months, visitors flock to Woodstock’s natural waterfall park and the Big Deep swimming basin. In the winter months, Hunter Mountain (around 40 minutes’ drive) is great for skiing, and the nearby Comeau Property in Woodstock is the perfect place for amazing sledding. Overlook Mountain (15 minutes’ drive) is a year-round picturesque hiking spot for adults and slightly older kids or teens.
Accommodation Details
This residence has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, set over 2 floors. The ground floor is home to the spacious open plan living/dining room: the recently renovated kitchen includes a breakfast bar for 3, leading to a dining table seating 8, and a cozy living area. There are also 4 bedrooms downstairs (2 rooms with queensize beds; 1 owner's room with a kingsize bed; 1 with a double bed) plus 2 full bathrooms. The largest bedroom is upstairs, with 2 double beds and 1 single bed. This floor also has the baby room (with a crib), a full bathroom, and a mezzanine play area. An additional blow up toddler bed and pack n play are also available. All the bedrooms are equipped with sun shades and brand new Roku TVs. The basement is set up as a game room with a pool table, ping pong, dart board, games and separate couch area. Outside, there is a Weber grill, 2 picnic tables, fire pit, hot tub, and lounge area.
Style Notes
Rural retreat. The house is clean, bright and modern with lots of natural sunlight. The living area is bathed in light during the day with beautiful scenic views. It feels homely and comfortable - not too precious for kids - so everyone can feel relaxed and enjoy the space. The hosts have decorated with neutral tones using a peaceful white and grey palette to create a calming space that’s ideal for weary visitors. We love the cozy fireplace in one of the two primary bedrooms downstairs, the luxurious marble finishes in the bathroom, and the beautiful rustic wood furniture in the living room.
Woodstock, Catskills
Green, organic and free range
Head to the Catskills and Woodstock for an eco-friendly retreat: wooded hillsides, hiking trails, lakes, rivers and plenty of space to run, yell and play. Artists, writers and musicians have made this rural spot a colony for the arts - and there’s great home-baked food here too.
